Today was Saturday. I woke up feeling good. Yesterday, Helia did not call me stupid, did not push me, did not do any of his usual mean.
Maybe it was because of ths fans.
My phone rings impatiently, and I grab it and press answer.
"Hello?" I mutter, letting out a yawn.
"Hey, still asleep?" Helia!
I blink and sit up straight. "Heck yeah, Helia, It's 6 in the morning!"
"Actually it's 6:30," corrects Helia. "I thought I'd better give you a call because... Um... "
"Helia..." I do not like the way this is going.
"I think I'm coming over today." He blurted it out.
"What? I mean, wait, I'm confused," I try to grab the idea. "So, you, are coming over to my house? Why?"
"I don't know," Helia says, also sounding a little confused as well. "Something about... oh," he smacks his forehead. "Your parents invited my fam over for Spring Break."
I chatting believe this. Helia? Over my time off?
No!
"Why didn't they invite my friends?" I ask with an edge in my voice. "How come you?"
"I..." he seems about as lost as I am.
"Ok, let me set things straight," I say furiously into the phone. "If you're coming, you'd better not spoil my entire actual week off school. Because that's what you do. Spoil everything! Everything fun, anything exciting, all of it! I'm just about as sorry as you are you're invading my property with you-"
"Now just hang on, Flower Girl," Helia growls. "I don't spoil everything, that's YOU and your terrible temper with me! Sometimes I don't do anything but from the moment you see me, you actually cringe. Do you know how much it hurts when someone does that to me?" he's shouting into the receiver.
"Well, hey, you do it to me, why can't I do it to you?!" I scream back.
"Thats different! At least you YOU don't have a bitter life like I do!"
"Shut up!" I feel cold fury chilling down my spine and I fight to control tears. "Just shut up! I do live a bitter life, Helia Knightly, and I understand that YOU might not feel the same. But either way this thing between us has to end and sometimes you don't always get your way! I've learned that lesson a long, long time ago!"
"Talk to someone who might care, because I don't!"
"Says the boy whose girl's insults hurt him- look at you now!" I end the call and slam the phone down, my heart thumping. 'I don't spoil everything, that's you and your terrible temper with me!'A waterfall of tears come pouring down my face. Helia's coming. Better suck it up.
But for now, I think I'll sleep it off...
