Author's Note

I just wanted to say when words are in quotations like ' these ' she or he is speaking to themselves.

***********************************************************************************

It's Saturday. Party time. What am I saying I can't do this. I have nothing to wear , who's gonna pick me up. I'll just call Connor and tell him I can't do this.

I picked up my phone. It's Connor. What the hell am I going to say to him??????

' Connor I can't come because , my mom's car broke down.'

buzzzzzzzzzz.

' *cough* *cough* I uh can't come because I'm sick and it's contagious '

buzzzzzzzzzz.

" Hey ! Where are you??"

" Hey I uh "

" Do you need for me to pick you up??"

"Um..."

"I'll be right over"

"okay..." I replied defeated.

The phone call was over Connor was on his way to my house. And I couldn't do anything about it , just peachy.

TEXT FROM CONNOR:

hey what's your address so I can pick you up

ME : 877 Hemingway drive.

CONNOR: thanks :)

ME: welcome.

Might as well get ready. I threw on a black mini skirt and a maroon red t-shirt. I put on mascara , matte lipstick , eyeliner , touched up my eyebrows a little and that was it. I looked decent. I put on my white converse and sat down on my porch and waited.

After 30 minutes if waiting Connor showed up in a black Mercedes. It was pretty nice. He got out and opened the door for me. I walked over and got in.

" Thanks." I said.

" No problem. " He said. " You look great."

" Thanks." I said flushing red.

His house wasn't to far so the awkward silence didn't last long. When we got there the music was blasting , but when we got up to his room it had died down a little. His room smelled amazing , not to much clone but just enough to smell really nice. I sat down on his bed itching to read one of the books on his massive shelf.

" What do you want to read? , I have Harry Potter , Percy Jackson basically the whole series of that one." He continued " I have a lot more too..."

Wow , Connor is a geek...wait...CONNOR IS A GEEK.

" You love those books too??"

He blushed.

" It's embarrassing isn't it..."

" No ! it's not ! you should be proud that your a geek" I said " I'm one myself." and I was proud to say that.

" Really ? people told me that it's embarrassing to have such books...they say I should've left them back in middle school." he says sadly.

" Same here. but its alright books are friends."

He laughed.

" Wait...I never really asked for your name , isn't it Amy?"

" Yeah , how did you know that...are you a wizard or something?!"

He laughed again.

" You're funny , sadly no I am not. But , I do hear your name get called in class." he said " So I sort of just picked it up."

" Same here. " I continued " So let's properly introduce are selves."

" Hi , I'm Amy Grum." I said and stuck my hand out for him to shake it.

He laughed and said , " Hi , I'm Connor Shen."

I squinted my eyes and said

" You're not taking this seriously." I said

" I am , I am " he said trying to hold his laugh back.

" Whatever. " I said and giggled a little.

" You know , I'm really glad that we met like two seconds ago." he said.

This time I laughed.

" Me too."
