I woke up next morning to my telephone ringing. I got up out of bed and picked up the little house phone on my dresser.
"Hello?" I said groggily.
"Hello, It's Mr. Freemond. Is this Emily?" said a voice on the other line.
"Oh yes! How's your wife?"
"She's fine. Any way I'm taking two days off to spend time with her. I thought I would let you know."
"Fine by me, sir!"
"Well, good-bye then."
"Good-bye, sir!" I said hanging up the phone.
I went to the kitchen for some breakfast.
"What to have, what to have?" I thought aloud.
I opened a cabinet to grab my favorite cereal. I get the milk out of the refrigerator and poured it in. I stuck my spoon in and ate away. After I was done, I set my bowl and spoon in the sink and went into my room.
"Morning jog time!" I said opening my dresser and pulling out my sport clothes.
I put them on and pulled out some socks. After putting them on, I walked over to the bathroom. Picking up my toothbrush, I hummed 'My Shiny Teeth and Me' by a cartoon character called Chip Skylark. Then I brushed my hair and put it pigtails. When I was done, I went back to kitchen to feed Dobby.
"Dobby! Come here you little Singapura kitty! Breakfast!"
Dobby came scampering from the den of the apartment.
"Here ya go!" I said setting down the food bowl.
I looked at the clock. It read five minutes to ten. I put on my running shoes, grabbed my phone and Ipod from their chargers. Something was missing. My key! I thought.
I ran to my bedroom and grabbed it. My phone started vibrating. Who is texting me at this time? I thought while getting my phone out of my pocket. 'Good Morning ,love.' It read.
It was a text from James. I texted him back. 'Morning, babe.'
'Answer me this : Will do me the honor and have lunch with me?'
'Sure, I've got the day off today.'
'Good, pick you up at 1:00'
'Ok, see you at 1:00 then.'
'Bye, love.'
I smiled as walked to the door.
"Bye, Dobby!" I said shutting it.
Locking it, I went to the stairs of the building. I put my ear buds in my ears and pressed play on my Ipod. I walked out of the building. Picture to Burn was playing on my Ipod.
State the obvious, I didn't get my perfect fantasy I hate that stupid old pickup truck There's no time for tears, I hate that stupid old pickup truck If you're missing me, I hate that stupid-
I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy
That's fine I'll tell mine that you're gay!
And by the way...
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned you're
Just another picture to burn
I'm just sitting here planning my revenge
There's nothing stopping me
From going out with all of your best friends
And if you come around saying sorry to me
My daddy's gonna show you how sorry you'll be
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned you're
Just another picture to burn
You'd better keep it to yourself
Cause coming back around here
Would be bad for your health...
"WHOA!"
Someone knocked me down.
"Oh, sorry! Can I help you up?" said the guy.
"Yeah, thanks."
He handed me his hand and I grasped it. After I was off the ground, I put my Ipod on pause.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
As looked at him, I realized that I was talking to Daniel Radcliffe! Whoa! Another Harry Potter star? I was thinking. I didn't want to draw attention to him so I didn't say anything.
"My name is Emily Oakwood." I said putting out my hand.
"Daniel Radcliffe." said Daniel shaking my hand. " Can I buy you some tea to apologize?"
"Sure. That's fine."
He lead me to a small café just down the street.
"You American?" He asked.
"Yeah. I've been living here for about five months."
"Neat."
Then I got a text. Since I had put my phone on the table, Daniel could see who it was from.
"James. Your boyfriend?" He asked indicating my phone.
"Umm. Not sure yet." I said picking up my phone.
'Need to change that time, love to 12:30.'
I replied ' Fine by me!, babe.'
" Okay. I can't do this any more!" I said to Daniel.
"Do what?"
"Well! I'm a Harry Potter fan and I'm going die if I don't say anything."
"Go ahead." He smirked while sipping his tea.
"Oh my god! Daniel Radcliffe! Yay! Wahoo!" I said.
He started laughing. So did I!
After a moment, we both sipped our tea.
"Well this was nice." I said smiling.
"Yes, it was." said Daniel.
I checked my watch.
"Oh, I better run!" I said picking up my phone.
"Okay, bye and don't worry about the check. I've got it."
"Thanks for the tea , Daniel!"
I pushed play on my Ipod again. As I jogged back to apartment, I was thinking. Whoa! Two Harry potter stars! Oh my god! I went back to my apartment to get ready for lunch with James. This is amazing! I think this is like our 2nd date! I thought wildly. I pulled out a purple top and jean shorts. I put on some sandals and then put my hair in a braid.
This date is going to rock. I thought as I went into the den to watch some television.
