I turned my cellphone off to start unpacking my stuff.
i grabbed my boxes and my suitcases one by one from the van and dragged the heavy ones on the floor to my room that i've chosen from the 4 rooms in the house.
"don't you wanna have some rest from the long road trip" mom said when she saw me dragging my suitcase on the floor to my room.
"i just wanna wake up in the morning and find everything is done and unpacked" i answered
"sorry honey, but we don't have any super powers, you gotta have some patience you know" mom said
"oh well i gotta finish unpacking by midnight,its not like i have any school tomorrow its Saturday night"
"fine with me"
i finished moving my boxes and suitcases to my room and started unpacking
-1 hour later-
i opened my school backpack and found a small folded piece of paper .I unfolded the paper and started reading what was written in it. A phone number was written in it and the name Jason was written above it.
Jason?
all i remembered was Jason Morelli, my freshman year crush. I had a crush on him since my first day in high school and now im a junior .But i never really had the nerve to have a conversation with him or just a chat.He was the typical high school hottie.He was a varsity quarter back,the most popular guy in the school,and had a blonde hair,and magical blue eyes.But i doubt that he really knew who i am .
and how did his number get into my backpack? and how long did it stay in there?
alot of questions started to appear in my head. I didn't know any answer to any question.
i turned on my cellphone and started dialing the number. I wanted to know what really happened out of curiosity.
i started to get nervous while waiting for him to pick up
"Hello" Jason finally picked up
"uh hi" I said
"Who's this?" he answered
"its Cady owens, i was in the same high school you're in now"
"oh hi Cady, how are you?" he asked . He was talking to me like we knew each other since long time ago
"im fine thanks,i just wanted to talk to you about something"
"ok, whats the thing you wanna talk to me about?"
"i found a small folded piece of paper in my school backpack and your name and number was written on it"
"Oh that"
"that?, are you the one who put it in there?" things were about to be revealed at that moment
"yes it was me who did that"
"ok can we talk about it more? , i mean explain?"
"Cady here's the thing,i really liked you but never had the guts to say it out loud to you face to face because i didn't know if you felt the same about me,i guess i was afraid of your rejection.." he said
i interrupted him as soon as he said that
"afraid of my rejection? ,how can any girl reject you at school,you're the school's most popular guy"
"its not all about popularity you know,and don't you want me to explain more?"
"yes, please"
"ok then let me finish"
"ok go ahead,sorry"
"3 weeks ago you left your backpack on a table in the cafeteria and went somewhere to bring something i guess,and before you came back i stuffed the paper in your backpack,i was thinking maybe you'd actually call me and notice that i like you" he said
"i waited 2 days and i saw you allot at school but you never looked at me you were always either busy chatting with your friends or in a rush, but then 2 days became a week,and a week became two,then i thought that you didn't want to call me or you don't like me so i stopped trying to smile at you every time i see you in the school hallways or in the cafeteria,i lost hope" he continued
silence was killing the moment after he said that
"hello" Jason said
"oh sorry,umm jason can i tell you something now?"i told him
"sure,i told you my side of the story now tell me yours"
"did you that i liked you since freshman year?,do you know that i never really found the paper until now?"
i decided to tell the truth and not act like im hard to get
"its nice to know the first part but the second part is the part i never thought of" he said
"Jason i was just unpacking and i found the paper in my backpack and was wondering what brought it in here so i decided to call you and find out how and why,but i've found my answer now"
"Cady,if you were right here in-front of my right now i would so kiss you"Jason said
i didnt reply to that because i wanted that to happen so bad
"Cady can we hang out sometime soon?" Jason asked . was he asking me for a date? for real?
"Jason i would really love that but if i had found the paper a week ago it would've been nice"I told him after i digested the harsh fact that reminded me that im hours away from where he is right now
"Oh why" he asked
"i just moved from Utah to California, it was a sudden decision that my mom made for all of us , me ,her and my sister" the fact became a little bit bitter now that i know that i left 2 great guys who liked me back in that place.
i wanted to go back there right at that moment.
"what you're in cali now?,like where exactly in cali?"Jason asked,he sounded a bit excited which was weird
"im in OC right now,why?" i answered
"it's gotta be fate,because im staying in OC with my dad for a month,its a part of the custody deal he and mom made at court a year ago"he said
"so right now you're in OC,Cali?" i asked
"yes" Jason answered
"awesome"
"so when do you wanna meet?" he asked again
"how about tomorrow?"
"tomorrow it is,want me to show you around the city?"
"alright that sounds cool" i said
"ok text me your address and i'll pick you up at 4pm"
"ok, deal"
"ok now im gonna leave you finish unpacking but don't forget to text me your address"
"ok bye"
"see you tomorrow,bye"
we both hung up and i texted him my address
right after i texted him Jason called
"are you messing around with me" he asked
"what?"
"the address you sent me is just 2 houses away from my dad's house"he said
"really?,so that means your like our 4th neighbor?,we're in the same neighborhood"
"i told you it's gotta be fate,neighbor"
"haha yea"
"alright catch you up later,neighbor"
"oh so that's my new nickname ha"
"yea you can say that "
"ok bye now"
"bye"
we both hung up,again!
hours passed by until it finally became midnight and i finished unpacking at 12:01!
i was so exhausted and i slept right after i finished unpacking
