[2022 WATTPAD BOOKS AWARD & WATTY WINNER: GETTING PUBLISHED 2025]
There's a boy at Evergreen High that has a different girlfriend every two weeks, and yet, none of them speak badly of him.
This perplexes Skyler Fox, a clever girl with a strong sen...
Tossing the book on the couch I rushed back toward my room.
"Where are you going?" Mom yelled after me and I stopped looking back at her. "I need you to set the table, lunch is almost ready."
"Yeah, yeah, I'll be back in a sec, I forgot my phone upstairs," I said, turning back and rushing up the stairs.
I found my phone on the table next to my bed where I had left it last night, and snatched it up instantly. My stomach dropped when I saw that there was no text message. The fact that I had almost been expecting it was the real problem. I had gotten used to it, him taking the initiative, and that wasn't like me. It was time the roles were switched.
I flipped open the screen and typed Good morning.
Then I deleted it. And tried about five more iterations of the phrase before I decided I would just skip the hello altogether. The fact that I was so nervous about texting him first was concerning to say the least. I shook it off, and pressed send.
Sky

Sky

Noah

Noah

Noah

Sky
Okay
As soon as I sent the message my curiosity started burning through me and almost against my will, my fingers typed out another message.
Sky
Busy with what? 👀
I stared at the message for a few seconds, that felt more like minutes, when the sound of yelling made me jump.
"Skyler! Get your butt down here and help me set the table."
Sighing, I stuffed my phone in my pocket, and went back downstairs.
