Chapter 1
Why?
Bella was sitting in the drivers seat of her orange, rusty truck. Just thinking about.....stuff. She hadn't gone to school that day and was wondering if she had missed any calls. She pulled out her cellphone and dialed "1". The voice on the other end said, "You have, 1 new messege. To listen to your message press 1." Bella instantly pressed 1. The voice, then again, said, "From, ***-***-****, recieved at four thirty-two pm."
"Hey Bella. Ummm call me back please. Bye."
Bella did not know who this mystery person was, and she intended on finding out, soooo, Bella called the number back.
"Hello?"
"Hello?"
"Who is this?" The mystery person sounded.... confused.
"This is Bella. Who is this?"
"Um this is Mike."
"Mike who?"
"Mike Newton."
"Oh ok. Hi."
"Um hi. Oh are you watching the Seattle Mariners?"
"No, but i have to go. Bye," she hung up before he could say anything else. Right after that she texted Jessica. "Hey Jessica. I have a question."
"Yeah. Wut?"
"Um did you give Mike my #?"
"Ummmm... yeah. Is that alright?"
"Yeah, he just called me tho. LOL."
"Oooooo. Does he like you?"
"IDK hold on."
Bella didn't continue the, odd, conversation. It was about..... 15 minutes later when Bella called Mike back. The phone rang about four times until Mike finally answered.
"Hello?"
"Hey Mike. It's Bella.... again."
"Hey! What's up?"
"Um. I was wondering if you liked me?"
"Um. Yeah."
"I mean more than a friend."
"Yeah."
"Ummm. Ok then bye."
Bella hung up before Mike could squeeze in a last word.
The next day at, at school, Bella was just thinking about why Mike would like her. Why should he like her? Why does he like her? How did he end up liking her? Bella had so many questions. She started with, "What's the square root of pi?" Mr. Johanson caught her off guard.
"Four?"
"No. Maybe next time you should pay attention, and not daze off into space."
Bella was so embarressed. The whole class was laughing silently under their breath. She never thought anyone would like her. She was so caught up in her thoughts of why Mike liked her. She was sitting in her chair for five minutes after the bell had rung.
Then lunch came. She was sitting across from Mike, who was sitting next to Eric, who was sitting next to Jessica, who was sitting next to her. Not once did she think about the consequences of looking at Mike. So she contemplated, "Do I look? What would he do if I looked? I should look. No I shouldn't," these thoughts just running through her head. Finally only her eyes looked. "Oh crap!" she thought to herself. He was looking straight at her. His face looked so cold and so breathless. Her heart beat a single beat. She was not sitting in front of Mike. She sat in front of a mystery waiting to be unfolded. The cafeteria was dead silent in her mind. She took a deep breath, opened her mouth, and shoved the last bite of food into her mouth. A swift movement of her body, and she was out of there in a flash. She was gone before Mike had a second to think.
