CH. 4
Haley started tapping her foot nervously on the dark wooden floor, as she waited for Nathan to pick up. Tap. Tap. Tap.
"Uh, Hales? I'm trying to read over here. Stop worrying. He'll pick up soon."
"I know that."
"Uh-huh. How'd you dial his number so fast anyway? I didn't hear you punching in any digits."
"Uh, well, I put him on speed dial."
"So he's number 1?! My god, girl! You're like totally hung up on him still!"
"No" protested Haley still clutching the phone to her ear.
"You are! Remember when I was playing with the phone and I accidentally pressed 1 on speed dial and you freaked? Remember?"
"Uh, yeah. Well, we'll talk about this later."
"Okay, but stop tapping your foot. Twirl a pencil or something, just don't make any noise. I have to get this reading done by tonight."
"Okay princess. I am your humble servant. ." Right as she was saying the second sentence, Nathan had picked up his phone.
"You're my servant? That would be interesting."
Gasping, Haley couldn't speak for a second. Joanne looked over to her and mouthed 'Say something! Anything!'
Shooting her a glare, Haley giggled nervously. "Yeah that would be wouldn't it? But I was talking to Joanne, my roomie."
"Oh, so was she the one who picked up my call before?"
Struggling to form an answer, Haley frantically looked at Joanne, who was sitting up in her bed watching her curiously. "Uh, I guess?"
As Haley was pacing the floor nervously, Joanne had taken the chance to put them on speaker phone, so that she could help Haley out.
"So, did you decide if you wanted to go or not?" asked Nathan, hoping that Haley would go, and happy that Haley had decided to call him.
Not that he wouldn't mind Lucas calling him again, just to catch up on old times, but talking to Haley was, in his opinion, 100 times better than Lucas. NO offense bro. Smirking, Nathan waited nervously for Haley's answer.
"Uh." "What she means is yea. She'll go." came Joanne's voice, revealing to Nathan that he was on speaker phone.
"Was I on speaker phone the whole time, Haley?" He asked somewhat sad that Haley didn't want to talk to him one-on-one.
"Not really. Um, well, no. Just right now. Actually." she said, trailing off.
Just then, Joanne jumped in to save her friend's butt, "Actually, I accidentally pushed the wrong button on the machine and it's now like this. We'll change it back if you want."
Knowing it was all fake, Nathan shook off the sad feeling. "Nah. It's okay. But Haley, you're coming for sure right?"
Biting her lip nervously, Haley turned to stare questioningly at Joanne, who was on the other hand, mouthing, 'Don't back out now! Remember last chance!'
Then, wanting Haley to have some "privacy" with Nathan, left the room.
