This collection of one-shots is centered around Becca.
I hear the phone ring. Ring, ring, ring. Oh gosh. Not another phone call. As I walk over to pick it up, I glance at the caller ID. It says Norton. My heart starts to race. Is Zach Norton calling me?
I casually pick up the phone and take a deep breath.
"Hello?" I am trembling with nervousness as I listen carefully for the rewarding sound of a certain Zach Norton's voice.
"Hey Becca, it's Zach."
I am literally about to scream, but I calmly reply, "Hey."
"So, are you going anywhere tonight? Simon and some of the guys are planning to go to see that new movie. Wanna come?"
At this point I am practically hyperventilating. "Sure," I reply nonchalantly, "I'd love to."
As soon as Zach hangs up, I rush over to my room and call Megan. She picks up as soon as I call her.
"Zach Norton just asked me to the movies!" I don't even bother to say hi before shouting out the good news.
"I know, Simon and I are going too," she says, her voice calm and cool compared to my frantic high pitched squeals.
"Oh my gosh, what am I going to wear?"
"Just be casual," Megan replies, "Don't overdo it."
"I know, I know." I quickly sift through my casual clothes collection. "There's nothing that's acceptable in here!"
Megan seems to sense my alarm and quickly replies, "Chill, I'm coming over."
Twenty minutes later, Megan is at my doorstep. "Let's go," she says, "They're coming over in half an hour."
She looks through my closet and throws a couple shirts and pants for me to try on.
I rush to the bathroom and put on the first outfit. It's a grey baggy sweater and black jeans.
Megan shakes her head. "Too dark."
The next outfit is a cute white shirt and a peach skirt. Megan shakes her head again. "You're going to freeze to death in that."
The final outfit she chooses is perfect. It's a burgundy colored sweater and grey jeans. What seals the deal though is the blue-gray pumps she hands me from her bag.
"It's an early birthday present," she says, smiling at me.
I gasp when I see the label on them. "Thank you so much!"
"Come on Becca! We got to leave!"
We run, laughing out the front door towards Zach's car. My outfit is so amazing I have no words for it. No words at all.
