Ania

i received a phone call at 10am, as soon as i had awoke from another miserable night of not getting much sleep, which was very unusual for two reasons; firstly, everyone i know is normally sleeping like a baby at this time, and secondly, no one ever phones me. i would get the odd text here and there, but never a phone call. i gazed to the name on the lit up screen; it was one of my best friends, Jack.

i smiled to myself and answered the call. i just knew Jack was only up as well because of the light breaths at the other end of the receiver and soft, kitten-like purrs that were forming at the back of his throat when he spoke.

Jack attempted to carry a small casual conversation at first, however, it clearly wasn't his style as he decided to cut to the chase as i was mid-sentence about how my weekend has been so far. Jack explained how he had a marvelous idea for a video he could upload to Youtube, he wanted to build a fort made of pillows and blankets but he wanted an assistant to help, that assistant being me for some reason.

"what about Amy? you always brag about how much fun it was to make videos with her..." i questioned. I really wanted to say yes, but i couldnt help but imagine me screwing everything up and then Jack would be furious at me, leading to him never wanting to speak to me again!

But I'm just being paranoid. Aren't I?

"Hell yeah, Amy was great fun!" he replied. he said something like 'but shes not you' barely above a whisper, he said it so quiet i wasn't even sure i heard him correctly

"shes what, sorry? i didn't hear that last part"

"nothing! I...I mean... I just think it would be better if someone else was in one of my videos for a change.. like.. you know.. a fresh face!-" I giggled at his attempts to get his point across, he sounded extra cute for some reason, "you dont have to. I mean i'll just get Amy if-"

"NO!.. i mean, i'd love to! um.. what time do you need me to be at your house at?"

"in an hour or so, if thats okay. i wanna get all my equipment set up, get everything we need ready and maybe just hang out with you for a while before we start shooting"

"sounds good"

SOUNDS GOOD?! Seriously Ania? Seriously? Out of all the things you could have said, you settle with 'sounds good'! God, i probably sound like an idiot.

Jack let out a breathy laugh and we both said our goodbyes. My phone clicked off and i sat on the edge of my bed smiling to myself, i hope this day will turn out good.

Ugh, i wish those butterflies would piss off.
