Chapter Four

 

So it’s the weekend. I survived my first week at school without dieing. This is rather surprising to me. I kind of like going to school. Not the work part but the being able to see my friends. I really need to get good grades this year. It’s my first year of high school and if I don’t get good grades I might not get accepted into the college I’m wanting to go to. I only want to go to college so that was Weston can live with me in college. Weston hasn’t spoken to me since that day. I’m nervous he might never talk to me again.

 

As I started getting undressed and about to hop in the shower I heard my cell phone ring. I immediately hit talk without looking who it was. I said Hello. And there was silence. I said hello again and finally I heard hey Destiny. It was a male voice that sounded really deep and dreamy. I couldn’t recognize it because I was naked and trying to put some clothes back on. I was a little pre occupied. Then the dreamy voice said I didn’t think you liked me like that. My heart started racing. It was Weston. Oh my god it was Weston! I couldn’t say anything because I could hardly breathe. Just the thought of Weston calling me; while I’m naked. Hah, it was amazing. He said something about how it was rather strange about someone my age liking someone his age. I said frankly age shouldn’t matter. If you love someone then it truly shouldn’t. He laughed a little which sounded more like a grunt. Then there was a really awkward silence. He didn’t know what to say and I didn’t know what to say either. And last time there was an awkward silence I blurted something out I didn’t mean for it to happen. So I just sat on my bed waiting for him to say something. Finally he said he would call me later. Although I didn’t believe I said okay and hung up. He whispered something as I was hanging up but I didn’t hear so I decided to leave it alone. About five minutes later I hear the phone ring again. I looked down at the number this time with high hopes it was Weston calling back but it wasn’t. I didn’t even recognize the number which is lame. I answered it anyway. There was a male’s voice again. He said hello is this Katie. I was like no its Destiny. He said sorry wrong number. And then he hung up.

 

Since I was fully dressed already I decided to skip the shower. Plus if Weston called back I wanted to be ready to answer the phone. If I was in the shower I couldn’t do that. So the day went by rather slowly. I basically watched TV all day waiting by the phone. I didn’t get another call till 7:00 at night. Which is kind of sad. But the even sadder part is that it wasn’t Weston. It was the same guy asking for Katie again. This time he tried having a conversation with me. I didn’t really want to talk to him but I didn’t want to be rude. I found out his name was Ray and that he is going to my school next year too. He is a grade above mine though. He sounds cool but I’m more preoccupied waiting for Weston to call. I told him I had to call and to call me sometime tomorrow. I layed down on the bed and fell asleep to the sounds the washer and dryer roaring.  

 

My cell phone started ringing around 3:00 in the morning. I didn’t look at the number I just hit the talk button again. It was Ray. He was crying. He said something about girlfriend and broken. So I presumed his girlfriend broke up with him. I am so confused though. Why would he be calling me? Especially since, he barely even knows me. Whatever though I’m usually good with calming people down so I might as well listen to his problems and then give him some advice.

 

After I calmed him down I started humming slowly and lightly and then I heard snores on the other end of the phone. I knew that when anyone is upset like that its easy to put them to sleep with humming or calming music. I hung up the phone and tried to go back to sleep although it wasn’t that easy. Once I’m woken up its hard to get back to sleep.
