c 10
I rolled over on my bed and looked at the clock, 7:03. Who possibly could need to tell me something so important that it couldn't wait till 10, it was a Sunday. I got out of my bed and slowly went to the buzzing phone sitting on my desk. I checked the caller ID and opened it.
"What do you want Luke?" I said into the phone
"Did I wake you?" He asked with a hint of sincerity in his voice.
"No, I just love waking up at 7 in the morning on a weekend." I said with a yawn on the end for emphasis.
"Well this will only take a minute and then you can go back to bed sleeping beauty." He said. "Do you know where my IPod is?"
"Did you check the couch cushions?" I asked. Everything in our house that got lost always seemed to make its way to the couch.
There was a pause on the other end of the phone and a little rustling. "Found it," Luke said after a minute.
"Awesome, Bye." I replied and fell back into bed.
30 minutes later I realized it was a lost cause and I wouldn't be getting any more sleep this morning. I took a shower, did my morning routine, and got dressed. While walking out of the bathroom my phone buzzed again. What did my brother need to find this time.
I clicked ok and the text message popped up on the screen. Only it wasn't from Luke it was from Oliver.
MEET ME AT JAMBA JUICE 12
I debated with myself for ten minutes and finally the curiosity part of me won, I wanted to know why he wanted to meet up with me. I still had three hours till I was to find out so I did some internet surfing and read some of Romeo and Juliet for my English Class.
It was 11:45 and I had to leave Romeo and Juliet at their balcony to go meet up with my ex-Romeo. Tiffany was already at Rebecca's dorm so I didn't have to tell her where I was going. I walked across the plaza and got to Jamba Juice. I didn't see Oliver so I got in line.
As I was walking away from the line with my Razzmatazz I saw Oliver sitting at an outside table. I slid into the chair across from him. "Hey." I said
"Hey" Oliver said. I sat there drinking my smoothie for a minute in silence.
"So you wanted to meet up because…" I said. I had no clue what he wanted so it wasn't like I could start the conversation.
"Well we haven't hung out since the last week of school so I was wondering if you wanted to go to a gig Friday night. My friend Wes is playing and I think you know Josh." He said. "You can bring Tiffany if you want." He added like he was second guessing himself for asking it.
"This is just a bunch of friends hanging out right? No date?" I asked because this invitation sounded very similar to one of a date.
"No date, "Oliver answered.
"Ok then." I said. "What time?"
"I'll pick you guys up at 5 and we'll stop for dinner first." He said.
Break Your Heart started playing and it took me a moment to realize it was my phone. I had forgotten I set that for when my Grandma called.
"I gotta go, The Grandmother is calling." I said to Oliver holding up my phone.
"Got it." He said with a I feel bad for you smile. It was definitely nice that someone knew my secret.
"Hi Grandma." I said opening the phone. "How are you?"
"The usual." She replied in her heavy accent. "How is school?"
"School." I replied.
"How is Oliver?" She asked
"I already told you, we're not dating anymore." I said.
"I know. But I figured Now that you're back at school it would be different." She said. She always had a liking of Oliver.
"Well we're still broken up." I said. This whole trying to convince her I'm not dating Oliver was getting old.
"Well that could be a problem since you know what is coming up." She said.
"I realize that." I said.
"Well that's all I wanted." She said.
"Bye Grandma." I said and closed the phone. I had a feeling these phone calls were going to become a lot more frequent.
