I finished the last few bites of my dinner, then went to put the dishes away. Just like any other day, I headed over to the computer desk. Sadly, my family shared one desktop. It was slow, laggy and pretty old. But it was good enough to play most of my video games.

"Oli! Go take a shower please"

It was my mom. She always told me when she was done in the bathroom so I could use it. I yelled back, saying I would in a second. I rushed to my room to bring my pajamas to the bathroom. I put my pajamas on the toilet, while taking off my clothes. I hopped in the shower carefully. The cold water poured down on me, I stepped back,shivering. Every now and then I'd stick my hand in and see if it was hot enough.

I wrapped a towel around my head, stepping out of the steaming shower. The slightly cooler aid nipped at my body. I dried myself as fast as possible, slipping on my pajama pants and tank top. After brushing my hair, and applying the face cream that didn't seem to help anything, I headed to the living room. I took out my phone to try and beat my high score on slither.io .

Suddenly I got a DM on instagram. I clicked on it, thinking it'd be from Rayna or one of her friends.

To my suprise it was from the new boy!

Huh, since when do the new kids ever talk to the boring one? Whatever...

I deccided to reply, I didn't want to seem rude.

"Hi!"

"Hey"

He came to our school at the begining of the year though I never really talked to him. Why should I?

He was fairly good-looking. Tall, dark brown hair and blue eyes. Yep...blue eyes.

I wondered why he wanted to talk to me. I know he wasn't exactly popular but, still.  Though, could it be a trick? I know these things only happened in movies, right.....but what if someone dared him to text me? Maybe this is some sick prank.

My paranoid thoughts were interrupted by another buzz from my phone. I'd better put it on silent so my mom wouldn't get annoyed.

We had a regular conversation and in the end he asked for my number to text me normally. Though I was still paranoid, and told him I was going to bed and I'd give it to him tomorrow. I actually was tired so I did end up going to sleep.

I dreaded getting up for school the next day. I always told myself pretend you're sick, or find some excuse. Some days I felt too tired to get up, I would think "Oh forget school I haven't had 1 sick day yet so I'm entitled to it...just stay in bed and don't get up." Though I never do.

As usual, when morning came I got up and started this painful routine. I felt like a robot doing the same thing every day, over and over again.

I always get to school early which forces me to wait outside with the other people. So I put my headphones in and tried to ignore everyone. But someone didn't get the message.

"Olive, hey!"

I turned around and to my suprise it was him.

"Hi Zander" I faked a smile.

He smiled back and held out his phone.

"Put your number in" He said.

I guess I couldn't get out of the situation now. Whatever, just because he had my number doesn't mean I had to reply to him. But I did what he said and then he said he'd text me later.

He picked up his skateboard and headed inside. Huh I didn't know he liked to skateboard..

I know it's not much but I hope you enjoyed!
Love yall !
