SNEAKING IN
Jason: It’s not a difficult job to get a girl’s number… lol
Before I could text back, my phone rang with the same number. Jason is calling me. I stumbled to hold the phone steady and attended the call.
” Hey, Jason,” I spoke.
” Hey, Milly. What are you doing?”
” Nothing. Just going to binge-watch any series on Netflix. What are you doing? ” I told the same thing I said to Ryder. That’s what I’m going to do. Somethings never changes.
” I’m standing in my balcony and talking with you.”
I listened and remembered a moment from the morning. He said he will teach me swimming.
” Hey, you told, you’re going to teach me swimming. When are you going to do that?’ I asked out of curiosity.
” Oh, yeah, I will teach you, if you come to my mansion.”
” Won’t I learn it in school?”
” Nope. I have a swimming pool in my mansion. I will teach you here. I don’t want any disturbances. We can get some privacy in my home.” he said. I stayed silent for a minute. Then I heard my mom’s voice calling me for dinner.
” I guess it’s okay. I got to go. I will talk to you later.” after he replied back, I hung up and went downstairs.
” I’m here, mom. What did you cook for dinner?” I eagerly asked, taking a seat on the dining table.
” Noodles,” she replied, giving me the bowl full of noodles.
” You didn’t tell me what happened in school, honey,” she asked me again. Oh, god, I forget to tell her.
” Nothing so important, mom. Pearl was so happy to see me after many years. But then I came to know she’s dealing with some problem.”
” What’s that?” mom asked, sitting next to me.
” She has a problem with her boyfriend. She didn’t break up with him but all I saw is she started crying and told me she wanted some alone time.” I said, with my mouth full of noodles.
” Oh, teenage girl’s issues. This happens to everyone. You don’t worry about that. Talk to her tomorrow. You need to be with her at this time.” my mom advised.
” Yeah, I should be…” I trailed off.
” So, what else happened in school?” I gotta say about Jason and Ryder. They are the only two persons I talked within this new high school.
” Classes are good and I met Jason Byrne. Emma Byrne’s son. Do you know her? Everyone is telling she’s a celebrity. But I never watched her movie or series.”
” Wow, did you just meet her son? I know her. I was a big fan of her during my childhood days. Did you get an autograph or a selfie with him? ” My mom was shocked and talked just like Pearl.
” You too, mom. How can I get his autograph when I don’t even know that he’s a celebrity? Anyways, he’s my friend now. He gave a small tour to Edgewood high and I ate my lunch with him. Then, I came to know that he got my number. I even talked with him a few minutes ago,”
” That’s cool. How can you forget to say something important like this? Okay. Is there any other thing to say to me?”
” Yeah,” I nodded and continued. ” The boy next door is my classmate. I met him yesterday when I gave those pie cakes. His name is Ryder. Today, he dropped me home after school.”
” Ohh, you didn’t say that until I asked you. Aren’t you gonna say anything about studies?”
” Nah. There’s nothing to talk about school works,” By the way, I finished the noodles. I wasn’t aware of eating it.
” Then it’s only about boys,” she teased me.
” Not like that, mom. You know I rarely talk with boys,” I replied. After some little chitchats, I reached my room at ten. I opened my laptop to watch ‘Pretty Little Liars’ on Netflix. I won’t be bored no matter how many times I watched it. I turned all the lights off and started watching it from season 5. Suddenly, I got a call again. Is it Jason?
I eagerly picked my phone up and my face brightened by seeing the name. Ryder.
” Hey, you are looking good in that blacktop,” that was the first thing he spoke the minute I attended the call. what?? How did he know that? I wasn’t sitting on my desk. If I was, he could see me from his window.
” Can I come in?” I heard his voice again. It’s not from the phone but near my window.
” Wha.. what are you doing here?” I shrieked and opened the window widely. My heart is beating faster.
” What do you think I’m doing? Getting inside your room,” he said, holding his phone with his one hand and entered my room carefully. It doesn’t look like he’s acting careful. He simply entered the room. Like he already did it many times.
” Is there anything important going on?” I asked.
” Nope. You told me I could come to your home at any time. This is the time I got.” he told, smiling sweetly.
” I expected you to come by the door, not the window. Anyways, you are here now. You got to watch series with me. That’s what I’m doing.” I insisted. Ryder doesn’t refuse.
” If you say so,” he replied, sitting next to me in my bed.
” But talk silently. My mom’s still awake. She doesn’t know you are here. It won’t be good if she knows.” I whispered again. I know I got such a friendly mom. But he came here without warning and I don’t want him to go back to his house for a while.
” I can do that. Is this whisper enough?” he leaned closer and spoke in a whisper. I could feel his breath on my neck.
” Yea.. yeah,” I stammered and clicked the play button. For some minutes, I explained the plot and we watching it silently. He was asking me some questions while the episode was going on. But this is a different experience. I’m watching a series with Ryder. Then something expected happened.
The sex scene of Toby and Spencer got played in that episode. Does it have to come at this time? Right now?
