9. Someone Like Her

Start from the beginning

Today, in particular, something was different when I did that. I felt a pair of eyes boring into my back. When I reached my locker, I picked up my skateboard, glanced to the side and caught a pair of deep blue eyes gazing at me a few feet away.

Nathan Northwood was watching me.

I still hadn't figured out if he liked me or hated me. Maybe he was lost somewhere in the middle.

Tossing my arm up in the air, I waved at him and offered him a big smile.

He looked away.

I pulled out my phone and texted him.

Good morning Goldie😋

I saw him pull his phone out of his denim jeans and scan the enlightened screen. His brows got pulled together briefly.

He didn't reply. Just stared at me.

i must look beterr than i thought today U can't seem to take your eyes off me😌

Still no reply. More staring.

I typed him another message before opening my locker.

Btw, cool hoodie!! red looks nice on u😊

No reply. More staring.

Trent, one of the jocks and a friend of Nathan, noticed the little moment we were having and slapped a hand on Nathan's broad shoulder. "Dude, why is Hope Lance waving and smiling at you like a maniac? Did you two really hook up on your party?"

He shook his head in response and mumbled something to Trent, receiving a shrug from him.

It was when I was doodling little skateboards on a blank page in my notebook in the briefly empty classroom when my phone vibrated in my pocket. I secretly fished it out and saw the text from Goldie😋.

Thanks

My heart stopped for a moment.

You replied! what a Christmas miracle!!! last night was fun we should do it again tommorow😋

After my massage was sent, I noticed I had misspelled tomorrow. I groaned as I buried my nose in my phone. "Ugh. Screw you autocorrect."

Autocorrect didn't correct all my mistakes and it annoyed me. A lot.

I smiled when Nathan replied again, but it quickly dissolved into a frown when I read the reply.

Yes

Dude stop flirting with me! !!

What??

HAHAHAHA

You're so weird.
