Chapter 36
Why was she asking that?"You teenagers and they bloody phones". She sighed rolling her eyes. "You'd be lost without them"."Sorry gran pizza is fine". Rinsing off my plate I placed it in the dishwasher. "When are you heading out?".???.nⓞ?ë?sⓗo?é.?ⓞ?"Soon honey. What are you going to do today?"."I've got a personal statement to write for my English class so probably that for most of the day because I need to type it. I don't think my teacher likes me so I want to make it good".???.??ⓥ??ⓈĤⓞ?ℯ.?ⓞ?"And why wouldn't he like you?". Filling up my coffee cup she placed her hand on my shoulder. "You've only been there 2 days Leah"."I was late to his class on my first day and my second day he caught me on my phone". Sinking my teeth into my bottom lip I shrugged."I'm sure you're just overthinking it but if it gets worse then you let me know. He'd be a fool to single you out". Damn right he would be. My gran was a savage."You're probably right. I'm going to go get my laptop and bring it down here". Kissing her cheek I made my way up stairs...Settling myself on the couch I had the tv on in the back ground and my laptop open. I had no idea what I was writing and I had deleted what I wrote last night.???.????ⓛⓈ???ε.?o?I was scrolling through my f*******: when I remembered I hadn't texted Alanna back. I still hadn't heard back from Jake and it was almost 11 o'clock. Maybe I should text him and cancel. I wasn't leaving the house today anyway. First I had to text Alanna back.???.ℕ?ve???ⓞmë.???'Thank you! Why did he say something?'Why was it so hard to write about yourself? What was I suppose to put in it? I started to type what I was thinking. I began with my gran raising me, about my mom passing when I was young, my life growing up in Florida.Thinking about it now it wasn't actually that hard. I suppose when you start you can't stop. My life wasn't boring but it wasn't all that. It was normal but I liked normal.Checking my phone I jumped when it started ringing. He was calling me."Hello".."You okay?'"He sounded worried.
"I'm fine why?"."You sick?"."No my hands a little sore so I took the day off but I'm fine. You don't need to worry". I smiled."So you pulled a sicky?". He chuckled. "Desperate to spend the day with me princess?"."No".He was still laughing."So I guess you're too sick for coffee?"."I'm not sick". I sighed. "But I do have school work to do"."So were you going to let me know or were you just going to let me go for coffee on my own?"."You didn't text me back". I argued."I was busy babe but I'm not busy anymore. How about I come to you?".I didn't know what to say. I did want to have coffee. I wanted to get to know him better. Alanna was right with what she said last night."Leah you there?"."Yeah sorry. You could come over for coffee. Say around 12?". I pulled my bottom lip between my teeth."See you soon princess".And then the line went dead.
