This story is not connected in any way to anything else I've written. I'll explain more at the end of the story. I hope you like it!!!
Yumi's POV:
I tried to wake myself up as I grabbed my cell phone. Willem's number came up on the screen. With out answering, I put it back on the pillow beside me. When was that boy gong to learn that I just wasn't interested?
I knew what he was up to, any way. He probably was at some party, & was probably too tired to get back to school on his own. I was always the last person he called if he couldn't get anybody else.
It was bad enough Jeremy calls in the middle of night about XANA. The last thing I needed was for Willem to keep me up, as well.
As I went back to sleep, I cold almost dream exactly what would happen tomorrow morning.
I was deleting my messages from last night. All were from Willem.
"Hey Yumi." Alita said as she came up to me. "Shouldn't you listen to those before you delete them?"
"I already know what they say." I said. "It doesn't matter how much he says that he loves me, I just…don't feel the same way."
"Haven't you told him that already?" Alita asked.
"Yeh, several times!" I said. "He just doesn't get it. At all."
The dream ended as I drifted further into sleep. It was pretty accurate, since that was what always happened when Willem would call me.
As my phone rang again, I peeked at the number & sighed.
Some people just never learn.
Like I said above, this has nothing to do with anything else I'm working on. XANA's Lair is holding their Story Awards contest, & rather then submit stuff I've already done, I decided to write some thing new for it. I definitely think that this cold win Shortest One Shot, don't you? In my defense, though, it's about a full page on Word…
Any way, I'll keep you guys posted as to what (if anything) I actually win. Keep your fingers crossed!
