Chapter 50

"Bathroom," I hear him answer dryly.

"Can you wait till the end of the lesson?" The lady asks, she sounds annoyed.

"No," he states, the screen turns from black to a nice view of a ceiling.

"Make it quick," she says.

He mumbles something that I don't catch.

What if he accidentally answered my call? Then he would actually be going to the bathroom right now.

Before I can stress further his face comes into view.

I feel a smile grow on my own seeing him.

"Are you ok?" He asked still walking somewhere.

"Yup, I have good news!!!" I say excitedly.

"Ok, I'm all ears," he says sitting down on a bench somewhere outside.

"Didn't you have to go to the bathroom?"

"No?"

"But then why did you tell your teacher that?"

"Because you called," he stated in a 'duh' tone.

"You could have called me back later," I say now feeling a little bad for calling him during class.

"What if you needed me and I didn't answer?" He asks rhetorically.

"Then...I don't know but that won't happen," I saw shocking my head a little bit.

"Ok, what's up?" He questioned.

"I just sent in all my college applications! I won't hear from them for a while but that's fine, I applied to all the big ones around here...well pretty much everywhere, I figured the more I send the better chance someone will like me enough to want me at their school-," I ramble.

"Lili, love breathe," Chase stops me.

"Firstly, That's amazing, I am so fucking proud of you," he smiles, making my own bigger.

Heart melted.

"Thank you," I grin.

"Secondly, How about this? To celebrate tonight at 7 o'clock I'll call you and we can have dinner together?" He suggests.

Just like old times, kinda.

"Sure!!...what should I wear?" I ask, mostly to myself

He thinks for a second, "What are you wearing right now?"

I hold up one finger telling him one second.

Propping up my phone on my mirror, I back up so he can see my whole body. Today I went very simple with a white crop top, light blue jeans, converse and obviously all my daily gold jewelry.

I do a little spin for him, posing a few times and making faces.

"Ooh hold that!" Chase exclaims, holding his phone closer to his face.

"Why?" I ask

"Cause you look beautiful," he smirked, no matter how many times he'll say that it always makes me blush like a little girl whose school crush just told her that he like likes her too.

"You should probably get back to class now," I say worried he might get in trouble for staying out too long.

"Nah," he says causally.

"Why not," I laugh.

"Because I'm talking to you, they can wait," he says simply.

"Well..." I drag out thinking about a good answer, "That's not a good enough reason,"
