Chapter 4 – The Call
I grabbed the phone and went to sit in my 'Phone chair', the chair I sit down in when I have long phone convocations, and dialled Bella's number. After 3 rings someone picked up.
"Hello?" said a gruffly voice.
"Hi, is Bella there please?"
"Yes, who's calling?"
Oops "Just say a friend, she'll know what you mean."
"Ok." The voice sounded a bit confused.
"Bella, phone for you!" the voice called.
"Ok Dad!" I heard her take the phone. "Hello?" She asked. She sounded a bit breathless.
"Hey Bella! It's Emma!" I had a wide grin on my face. Shame she couldn't see it. Might have to do something about that. Not right now though.
"Oh hey Emma!" We then had an extremely long convocation about every thing. I told her about me and my family. She told me about her and her family. It was about 8 o'clock when I heard the front door of my building open and close and the mummers of my family.
"I suppose you have to go hey Bell's!" I said as the voices got louder.
"Yeah I guess I do. Will I see you tonight?"
"Yeah sure you will!"
"Great! See you then!"
"See you!" I said as the line disconnected. I put the phone down and went into my study to work on a device for video calls.
"Emma?" Liz called as she opened my door.
"In here!" I called. A second later they were all sat in my study.
"Haven't been in here for a while!" John commented as he sat down next to Alex.
"Mmmmmmm…" murmured Alex as she snuggled into John's chest. "So Emma what are you up to?"
"Making a device that can send and receive video calls!" I said as I smiled. They all sighed.
"Well I think you lot should get to bed." Said Liz as she stood up and stretched.
"Ok" Said the rest of us. I got up to get changed into my pyjamas as the guys left my condo.
"Night Emms!" They said in sequence.
"Night" I called as my condo door shut close. I went to brush my teeth and then went to lie on my bed to think until I enter my dream world. I was thinking about me.
Being a little bit human meant I could do many things that Liz couldn't, like going outside into the sun or eating and drinking human food and drink. But I'm super fast and agile, have a super sense of smell and super hearing. I stayed up for hours weighing out the pros and cons of being me. I am only one of a kind meaning there is no one else in my situation. I then fell asleep to see Bella.
"Hey Bell's!" I called as I ran up to her. She smiled. We then spent the rest of the night talking about her day and mine. She had bought 2 motorbikes and was helping her friend Jacob fix them up.
"You are so lucky!" I said once she had told me. I sat up. "John totally wrecked mine. I mean he wrecked about 3 motorbikes within a month, all mine of course, and so I gave up!" I said as I lay back down on the grass. As I turned to her I saw her eyes were wide as she stared at me. Her gaze made me feel quite guilty. "Sorry sometimes I get a little bit hectic."
"Hectic?" she asked.
"Never mind. Look take this." I gave her my video call screen.
"What's this?" she asked as she took it from me.
"It's a video call screen so we can see each other as well as talk to each other. You may need to use it one day!" I grinned at her.
"Thanks." She said, her face turning red. I looked up towards the rising sun.
"We've got to part ways but I'll see you tomorrow!" I said as I turned to run.
"See you!" She called.
