I looked at the time and called Melanie
"Hey are you back yet "on the other line
"We are almost there but not there yet and could you atleast tell me why you weren't here today"
"Okay good I'm on my way to school so I can fully explain "and I dropped the called.
I decided to wear plain jeans with an oversized shirt together with Nike jordans and made my braids in a bun.
In less than 20 minutes I was at school waiting for Melanie but the buses had not arrived yet.
The first bus came in and I went to a secluded area so nobody could notice me .
"So what happened "she asked and anyone could tell she did not enjoy herself.
"I felt really sick last night and in the morning. I did not sleep at all last night at all so I'm sorry I kept quite but it was for the best" I said while looking at her and forcing a smile on my face.
I walked Melanie and made sure she was on a taxi going home cause she can sometimes be crazy .
I looked at the time and saw that it was 6PM and I was not home yet but I did not care and went to KFC to order something to eat . As I waited for my order to get ready someone stood besides me and it was Tony . I smiled at him" what are you doing here shouldn't you be home resting "
"Actually I was going home and I saw you get in here so I thought maybe you would like a ride home "
It seemed pretty awkward but also nice. We sat down and started to talk . We had lost track of time still talking and it was very dark outside.
"I think we should get going "
By the time we reached my home I just smiled at him and went back inside .
I laid on my bed and just closed my eyes then my phone flashed up,it was my dad telling me to sleep well and make sure I locked the door
I'm a heavy sleeper but not when I'm all alone and there's nobody in the house. I did hear my phone when a couple of messages came in but I didn't check and continued with my night rest. I did hear my phone ring and to be honest I wanted to sleep but what if it was an emergency so I answered
" I just wanted to check if you'd answer or not "Tony said
"Ok, I mean I was halfway through my dream though . I actually thought you were in some sort of an emergency"
"I was that's why I called you because I wanted to hear your sleepy voice " I didn't know he had such a deep voice over the phone it actually kept me from sleeping again.
"Alright then and oh thank you for the ride I really appreciat it" I said
"Its not a big deal so I guess I'll see you on monday "
"Yeah sure sleep tight dude "
"Night Bri" and I dropped the call but I did not go back to sleep or atleast I tried sleeping again.
TONY'S POV
I wanted to ask her why she couldn't make it to the trip but she looked like she didn't want anyone to see her and left immediately after meeting up Melanie. I must say she really looked good. I followed them without them noticing .
I went straight up to her as she was waiting for her order. She looked at me with her beautiful brown eyes and smiled . I still don't understand how someone like her manages to stay happy all the time but I guess it's a Bri thing.
We had lost track time and I drove her home . She sure knows how to hold a conversation and I really enjoy her company.
It was very late and I laid in my bed thinking of her.I swallowed my pride thinking she would have texted so I called her.
"I just wanted to check if you'd answer or not" were the first words I said and I think I made a fool of myself I mean who in their minds say that to someone they've never talked to on the phone before?
The conversation went on and she sounded tired on the phone.
"........sleep tight dude" wow completely friend zoned. But what's wrong with being friendzoned it's not like I love her or anything like that. Maybe I like her. Who wouldn't like her completely no one because she's kind ,very cool , generous ,very disciplined. She's not like any other girl at school . She's part of the popular kids and still remains kind to everyone not something you see or experience everyday .
Some girls change their friends and have quite a big circle of circles of friends but with her its not like that. She never wears any makeup to school but still manages to look good and smell nice.I wonder if she even knew my name or just went with the flow probably if I was her I wouldn't have asked .
Tony you can't keep thinking about her she's probably asleep but your thinking about her . No I gotta go to sleep too but I can't not when I know that Monday we will be strangers since our history sessions are over.
Maybe if I hangout with her and Melanie we will be friends but that's a big IF. She looks happy with her friend Melanie but it's worth a try and they always say the more the merrier
Okay it's fine,its really fine and besides why would she want to be friends with me. I got to sleep before I lose my mind.
