Megan Taylor
I'm woken to the noise of a text message coming through my phone.
??
Hey Megan!
Was wondering if you
wanted to go mini golfing
with us later?
Megan
Wait who is this?
??
Oh sorry!
It's Tom
Megan
Oh yeah
Sure
Are the girls going?
Tom
Yes
We'll pick you up at 2
Megan
Great see you then
I checked the time on my phone, 12:31. Great such short notice.
I got a quick shower, deciding against washing my hair opting for a slick ponytail. I dressed in a navy skirt and white long sleeve, hoping it was appropriate for mini golfing.
Before I knew it, mid cereal eating, I heard a car horn beep from outside my house. I put my bowl in the sink and quickly ran out to the white car, Tom was sitting in.
"Hey" He says looking at me. His dirty blonde hair sticks out underneath the white hat he has on, backwards. He is dressed in brown trousers and a white polo.
"Hi" I say, putting on my seatbelt "Where are the girls?"
"Oh, they said they were busy" He smirked, focusing his eyes on the road "Looks like it's just you and me"
"Guess so" I say confused, watching him as he drives.
I sat in silence wondering about his words. An hour ago he told me they were coming. I wouldn't have came if I knew it would have been just him. Maybe he knew that and that's why he said the girls were coming.
After a few moments of unbearable uncomfortable silence, we pulled up to the mini golf course.
I quickly got out of his car, feeling as if the severely awkward tension would suffocate me. I followed behind Tom as he made his way up to the front desk.
After Tom made small talk with the young worker, we headed over towards the first hole.
"Now do you know how to play golf?" He smirked at me "Or did you just dress up for the occasion?"
"I guess we'll see" I decided to look past the weird situation I was put in and wanted to make the best of it.
"Ladies first" He grinned at me, stepping to the side.
I pull a weird face at him but nonetheless step up to take my turn. I place down the pink golfball I insisted on having. I raise my golf club, aiming at the ball and gently hit it. Unfortunately the ball completely went in the opposite direction than the direction I hoped it went in.
"That was the worst aim I have ever seen" Tom breathes out as he doubles over with laughter.
"Hey, it's not funny" I say in frustration as he finishes up laughing.
"Here I'll show you" He comes over to me, pressed against my back, he snakes his arms through mine and grabs my hands.
"Just like this" He whispers in my ear, guiding our conjoined hands to hit the gold ball. The ball goes in the hole in one shot. "See"
"Yeah, thanks" I mumble back, breaking apart our hands and wiping mine down my skirt as he smirks at me.
"On to the next hole?" He asks as we walk.
An excruciating hour later we finally finished up. The walk back to his car was completely silent.
"I overestimated you Taylor" I look at him in confusion as we sit in his car "You are terrible at golf"
"Oh fuck off"
Tom dropped me home, after insisting we get McDonalds. I headed towards my room and sat down on my bed. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket, looking at it for the first time since this morning.

Oh my god Matt
I am so sorry
I was out all day and didn't check my phone
Matt💗
Yeah ok
Who were you out with?
Meg🤍
Tom
I only went out to him
because he told me the girls
would be there but they didn't
show
Matt💗
Are you serious?
The first time we're apart
you go out to another boy
straight away?
Meg🤍
Did you miss the part where
he tricked me?
I only went because the girls were
meant to be there
I'm not dense
If I knew it was only him
I wouldn't have went
Matt💗
Defeats the purpose Megan

I huffed in defeat, dramatically laying down on my bed. A message then pinged from my phone. Hopeful it was Matt I picked it up. Nicks name popped up on my screen.
Nick💚
Hey
Is everything ok
between you and Matt?
Megan💜
I honestly don't know Nick
He is confusing me
I explained the misunderstanding
but he's still mad
I don't know what to do
Nick💚
He's in a bad mood right now
Just give him time he'll come
around
Megan💜
Okay thanks Nick
Nick💚
No problem Megan
Always here for you
even if it's about my
dramatic brother
Megan💜
Love you Nick
Nick💚
Love you too❤️
I turned my phone off following the text conversation I had with Nick. Despite the teasing from my brother I decided to go to sleep early,
in attempt to escape the problems that had followed from todays events.

Guys I am so sorry it took me over 2 weeks to get this chapter out and I'm sorry it's so short!!
I have been so stressed with school work over these weeks and have had no time to sit and write!
School is finished now and I have planned out the ending to this story and I'm so excited to write it.
Thank you so much for reading, new chapters coming very soon!!❤️❤️
