Textrovert: One Shot Contest

                   

Before I start I just want to say thanks to the amazing @donotmicrowave for writing the cell phone swap in the first place! Believe it or not, this book was the FIRST book I wrote on wattpad and it inspired me so much!

I hope my spin off does it justice <3

"I am so unbelievably excited for today Nicky," I say to my best friend, and I mean it. I have looked forward to this day for weeks. You know that feeling you get, when you're excited for something and you literally CANNOT wait, you even lose sleep over it? No? Well I do, and that is exactly how I have felt in the lead up to this day. As we keep walking around the fairground I take everything in, you see the world in a whole new light after being grounded for a few months. "Omg Nicky, a Ferris wheel. Pleaseeeee?" I look at Nicky with my puppy dog eyes.

"Ugggghhh, fineeeee." She finally gives in, "but we can't eat before we go on it, K? We will do it after. Keely... Don't look at me like that...Keeley...!"

I groan, she's probably right anyway, you know what happens when people eat before going on a ride.

"Sooo, How's Brent!?" Nicky gives me wiggly jazz hands as she asks me about my crush, who in her words is: 'My Future Husband'. I WISH! He's been tutoring me recently and we've been hanging out for a few hours after our sessions every week. He is amazing, but I don't know if he feels the same way as me. I dunno. He's a college boy she he probably has his eyes on a few sorority girls. Nicky won't stop teasing me about my 'love of older men', like seriously, he is only a few years older than me, and besides, high school boys are weird, sweaty and perverted. Like this one we saw like an hour ago. We were walking around some stall and some creepy, perverted teenage boy said he will be seeing us in his dreams tonight...in various stages of undress. But just to put it out there, he didn't use words as kind and discrete as those.

"Thank you for making me wait before eating! This food is to DIE FOR!" I mumble to Nicky through a mouth full of food.

"Hmmmm Keely, remember that next time you want to eat and I tell you not to, and I tell ya, that will be soon" Nicky says to me, laughing with me. "This food is amazing but we've got to get going. Wasn't Zach, going to pick you up or something?"

"Ohh. Don't remind me! Zach bailed, AGAIN. Something about football and blah blah. Is it too much for me to ask for a ride home...?" I use my puppy dog face again. It always works!

"Sorry girl, I wish but I've got to head home. Got a paper due tomorrow and I'm looking after my brother tonight while mums at some P&F meeting. Next time though!"

Great. I'm going to have to walk home...Exercise here I come...Sadly...

Nicky and I say our sad goodbyes, it'll be a while till I see her again, French period one on Monday is so far away.  I head home. I've been walking for what feels like forever but for what is maybe 10 minutes, when I feel a harsh hand grab my neck and yank me backwards A million thoughts run through my head as I squirm and try to get out of my attacker's strong grip. I scream as loud as I can but hand placed roughly over my mouth stops me mid-scream. Their grip around my neck tightens and I can feel myself slipping out of conciseness as black spots begin to take over my vision. As I can just feel the last strands of vision slipping out of my grasp, I hear a voice yelling something unintelligible as the pressure around my neck suddenly stops and I fall to the floor gasping for air.

"Woah, woah! You okay there baby doll?"

I struggle to catch my breath as I look at my rescuer. "uh, yeah...thanks..." I reply nervously. He reaches down to help me up. I look into his eyes, then away quickly. His face was perfectly sculpted, high cheek bones, a strong jaw line, full lips and his nose, slightly bent to the side as if it had been broken one too many times.
