Chapter 2 - Trying too hard

After my insane day with Dave all I needed was to sleep. I entered my bedroom and I collapsed on my bed, but before I could get a shut eye I got a call from Dave.

Connie: Ug you have got to be kidding me *answers the call* yo what's up

Dave: come on tell me that you did feel the rush today

Connie: seriously Dave you called me for that, I'm trying to sleep dude

Dave: I know but just admit that you had fun today

Connie: yes it was kind of fun falling to my death

Dave: that's the fun part about it you know that you're about to die but if when you mess it up

Connie: you're so hopeless I mean what do you like about it

Dave: I just told you. Next we're gonna do some shark cage diving

Connie: whatever leave me alone

Dave: ok I'll see you in school tomorrow babe

Connie: uh huh *hangs up*

uh a lots of mixed signals, better get some rest luckily for me when I got home my parents were still at work, so I didn't get nagged for being late or jumping out of a plane. I fell asleep soon after and I woke up the next morning feeling energetic and fresh, I got ready for school ate breakfast and I left the house.

When I got on campus everyone was looking at me some kids came up and asked me for a pictures, and I've been going to this school for years and nothing like this has happened before. I tried not to think about it much and I didn't have to because when I got to my locker my girlfriends were waiting for me.

Suzie: there's our new extreme sports star *claps for her*

Connie: what are you even talking about

Rose: uh this

Rose showed me a video on her phone and it was from Dave's stunt yesterday and I was jumping out of the plane when the video was recorded

Suzie: everyone is watching it, I don't know who posted it but I checked it out on YouTube and it has already captivated the eyes of 107k people

Rose: yup you're famous ish

Connie: why would Dave post that he knows how my folks gets

Suzie: honestly Connie I don't get why you're hanging out with him, the dude's a moron and a loser

Rose: uh if jumping out of a plane makes someone a loser than I don't know what you'll call those guys that does worst

Connie: Rose's right Suzie and I like being with him, he's my best friend

Suzie: you're only around him cuz you have a crush on him and you doing all those stunts with him just makes you to be trying too hard

Connie: whatever Suzie think however you like, now I'm gonna go find Dave and ask him to take down the video

Suzie can be such a bitch sometimes but she is right not about me only hanging out with Dave cuz I like him, I mean I do like him but I hang out with him cuz I wanna. And I'm not trying too hard thank you very much I'm doin just great.

I found Dave with his friends and they were having a conversation about her hummus is a food not a condiment, when he saw me he pulled away and came my direction, and right now I'm in a terrible mood so best believe that I'm gonna go all angry bird when he gets here.

Dave: hey dude

Connie: why the heck did you upload that video, and how did you even do it cause I don't remember you having a camera

Dave: what video

Connie: I swear if you play me like a fool right now I'm gonna punch your face

Dave: ok you caught me but in my defense the video was amazing and you did good on your first try. I just wanted the world to see my best friend jumping out of a plane. And did you even read the comments, they're going crazy and talking about how we look good together like I'll ever date you * laughs*

Connie: what's so wrong with me that you can't date

Dave: come on tiny dude you're my best friend you've been my best friend since summer camp when we were 7, I mean it'll just be weird and you're not my type.

ok this guy's really looking for me to slap him but if I do that I'll just show him that I like him and I don't wanna make things weird he's already talking about how I'm not his type. Plus I'm a Sagittarius we don't tell people that we like them they have to figure that out themselves.

Connie: whatever fuck you

Dave: what did I say

Connie: look if my mom and dad sees that video I'll be murdered ok so take it down.

Dave: what's in it for me

Connie: I could be your tutor

Dave: I think that's just a ploy to make me stop doing what I like and focus on studying

Connie: more like a ploy for you to come over and stop failing chemistry and physics, and every other subjects that's not English or history

Dave: ok but you promise

Connie: yup

Dave: I gotta go back those moron thinks that hummus is a condiment its a food for Christ sake

Connie: so when do you wanna come over

Dave: text me dude *he leaves*

ok maybe Suzie was right I am trying way too hard now I gotta tutor Dave, Dave that can't pay attention for ten seconds oh f my life.

The day at school flew like a breeze and kids were still taking my picture, one came up to me and asked me to do a stunt with him and a few others came, and some flirted with me and others were gross as hell.

The happiest moment of my day was when the school bell rung and I was finally leaving this hell hole, I texted Dave for him to come to my house by 4 30 so we could study so by the time he gets there I'll be prepared to make it almost visible to Dave that I like him.

I went home and I took a shower I baked Dave's favorite cookies, and I blended bananas and strawberries cuz he likes that combination. I wore a cute flowery dress and I waited for him and my parents to come, I don't know why neither mow nor Dad have come home yet.

They both worked at the same place so maybe an overseas meetings came up, and they just went there and forgot to call me like they always do. It's not like my mom and dad don't care about me they do, but they just prioritize their work a tiny bit more then they do me.

They would sometimes go for business trips for two months and only called me three time but I don't really wanna worry about my folks now, I gotta focus on the task at hand I gotta give Dave a hint that I like him. And I know that I've been trying for years but I have a good feeling that this is my year.
