It was a cold december morning; winds fierce and snow piling on the ground like a blanket. Although it was freezing outside, inside was a different story. I sat on the floor by the fire, sipping my hot chocolate and indulged in a new book. Turning the pages, getting deeper and deeper into the story.
If you think about it our lives are like books. The different chapters, the different characters. There's a beginning and an end. Some books are shorter than others and some are longer. No a single one, however, is the same; each one is different, having their own unique details and plots. Some chapters are deep and dark while others are light and cheerful, but no book, no story is completely good or completely bad.
Realizing that i was once again lost in thought i stood up and walked to the kitchen.
Opening the fridge i come to find that there is no chocolate milk, “Jaxton!!” I call out to my twin brother, “come here please.”
A minute later my 6-foot brown haired brother comes around the corner looking guilty, “yes my lovely sister?”
I glare at him, “cut the crap Jaxton, did you drink MY chocolate milk?!”
He looks down at his feet, “what would you do if i did?”
Sighing I say, “Jax you know I need my chocolate milk to function properly.”
Looking up hopefully he starts, “I could run to the store and buy you some since i got my driver's license a few weeks ago?”
I laugh a little before responding, “yeah right,we are 17 years old and you barely just got your license, i got mine a week after we turned 16, no way am i letting you go out on those icy roads.”
Jax huffs, “but-”
I cut him off, “ no buts, you can make it up to me another time.”
He sighs, looking defeated, “okay i'll be in my room if you need me,” and with that he turns and leaves the kitchen.
Turning back to the living room with a glass of regular milk, I settle into the couch. As I'm about to pick up my book and start reading again, my phone goes off.
Unknown Number: Hey Lily, how are you doing today?
An unknown number…? I wonder who it is…
Lily: umm… who are you?
Unknown: my name doesn't matter, yet. I promise I'll tell you as soon as I can, for now just call me Unknown.
Lily: okay… so Unknown, what do you want?
Unknown: right now? to know how you are doing.
Lily: I'm fine, a little creeped out but fine nonetheless
Unknown: what happened princess?
Lily: this is gonna sound so lame but my brother drank the rest of my chocolate milk…
Unknown: why is the chocolate milk so important?
Why isn't unknown making fun of me???
Lily: it helps me think…
Unknown: understandable, I'll make sure to remember that
Lily: kinda creepy but it's okay. Hey, since I can't know your name for some reason, can we play 20 questions so i can at least know a little about you?
Unknown: hmm… okay, but only if I can ask questions too
Lily: deal.
Unknown: well ladies first
Lily: okay but now I know that you are a male because you said “ladies first”
Unknown: nice detective work
Lily: just so I at least know you aren't a full creep, how old are you?
Unknown: currently I'm 18 however I'll give you a bonus, I'm a Scorpio.
Lily: OooOooo I'm a Taurus
Unknown: okay my turn, do you have a favorite sport, if so what sport?
Lily: yes, baseball. It's the only sport i fully understand.
Unknown: fair enough, your turn princess
Lily: so unknown, what school do you go to? Assuming you live near me
Unknown: yes i go to Lakeview.
Lily: hmmm okay…
Unknown: what do you do in your free time?
Lily: I read, and write, and draw well attempt to at least. To help me start narrowing it down, what hand do you write with?
Unknown: good question, i am a lefty. What is your favorite food?
Lily: this is gonna sound childish, but besides pizza, it's Mac and cheese with chicken nuggets.
Unknown: honestly i love the same foods. I'm sorry Lily but i have to go, something came up. I will text you again. I promise.
Lily: oh okay… goodbye for now i guess… talk to you later Unknown…
Unknown: stay safe
Going to my room and laying in bed, one final thought goes through my mind before sleep over takes me.
Well that was strange, i wonder if he'll ever text me again...
