One Hundred Sleepless Nights.
Calling you.
"HE WHAT?" Jaime exclaimed.
"He gave me his number" I chuckled.
"See you're not ugly, somebody likes you!" He smiled.
"Because I'm so ugly he figures making me happy for a night will make me feel good about myself"
Jaime then grabbed me by the shoulders and shook me.
"BET YOUR ACT TOGETHER, YOU'RE FUCKING BEAUTIFUL! ANY MAN IS LICKY ENOUGH TO HAVE YOU!" He shouted.
"Okay...okay" I laughed.
"JAIME IM NERVOUS!!!" I yelled.
"Why?" He asked.
"Why not?" I questioned.
"You'll do fine, ugh you're so stubborn" he nagged.
"I love and hate you sometimes" I rolled my eyes.
"Yah feeling mutual, now go and call your boyfriend" he teased.
"He's not my boyfriend!" I scoffed, giving Jaime his goodbye hug and catching the bus.
Of coarse I walked in, only to be bitched at about how I do nothing and I'm not good at anything.
So my phone call had to be on hold.
I cleaned the room, bathroom, living room, swept the kitchen and mopped, took out all trashes..I even tired out my siblings, made sure they were fed and showered and I put them to bed.
I grabbed my skateboard and went outside.
i skated back n forth on the street before deciding to finally call Tony.
I sat on top of my skateboard, took out my phone and slowly pressed his numbers in.
It rang three times before someone answered.
"Hello?" A soft voice asked.
"Tony?" I said in an uneasy tone, my hands become overwhelming shaky.
"Yeeeeeeah?"
"It's me Lissett" I said, cringing at the sound of paper being crushed from the other end.
"LISSETT! You called!!" He shouted.
i laughed, "just like I promised" I smiled.
"I honestly didn't think you were"
"why not?" I asked.
"I don't know, just didnt think I could pull that move off in school" he giggled.
"Oh, trust me you did"
"So what are you up to?" He asked.
"Just outside, on the phone with you...what about yourself?"
"Weird... I'm doing the same"
"Stop copying me" I joked.
"Pfffffttt, girl you're crazy" he joked.
It stayed silent for a minutes, I was so shaky yet happy in a good way.
"So any plans Friday?" He asked.
"Probably stay home and watch my siblings....why?"
"Just wanted to see if you could hang out"
"Maybe Thursday" I commented.
"Really?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'll just let my guardians know" I smiled from the softness yet deepens of his voice.
"So, thanks for helping me in summer school" he said.
"Oh, please you didn't need my help" I laughed.
"Shut up and play along silly" he laughed.
What is this? This feeling inside me? I can't like him, he's too perfect for me...he probably doesn't care about me...maybe he saw my scars and feels bad...maybe this is all a joke.
