She was approaching me as I stood in the verandah.
"Oops sorry. I was at Emi's"
Emi Vanderwal, Darynn's cousin, lived near the 303 street, close to our house.
"I wish I would have come. I enjoy talking to her!"

   We marched in silently, as the door behind, closed. I climbed to my room, upstairs. I escaped the gaze of Darynn. Ah, was I gonna study! Fuck off! I thought about Oliver. I thought about texting him, but I slipped off the phone again. My phone itself beeped.
"Hello?"
"Hey. Luke here" his voice soothed me immediately. "Didnt you just reach home if Im not wrong?"
"Yeah I did. Why?"
"Haha! And you called? Did you even breathe"
"Oh shutup. I just wanted to talk to you. I miss you"
Now, he was over reacting.
"You're being lame" I giggled.
"I know. So, Sup?"
"Just climbed upstairs. Had dinner. How about you?"
"I have to eat yet"
"You must be hungry"
"Yeah I am"
The way he sighed, after there was a silence, indicated that he expected a so called you-should-eat-something-honey kinda' reply. Okay, Im saying that.
"Eat something, dear. Get some sleep"
"Thankyou Del. That felt soothing, really"
"Hmmm..." Time to hang up. He needs to eat. Get some sleep. "Okay. Bye"
"Uhuh? Bye?" He said, more to himself- I know you wanna talk, Neil.
"Bye. Ill see you tomorrow"
Oh please!!!! Just say, just please say that you'll be coming over.
"Wherever?" I crossed my fingers.
"This time, Ill pick YOU up, and you're coming over"
What?
"Okay. Before Evening. Bye now?"
"Love you"
