Okay, we're skipping ahead to present time (except they're not on tour....)
Here's the second chapter!
Lost But Not Forgotten
Chapter 2
Nick woke to the sound of his phone ringing. He was in that stage where you’re tired of your old ringtone, but are too lazy to buy a new one at the moment. So one of those annoying disco ringtones that come with your phone rang and rang and rang.
He rubbed the sleep from his eyes and snatched up his phone. The caller ID read, “Mia.”
His sleepy face broke into a grin. He flipped open the phone.
“Hey!” he said.
“Hello,” Mia’s voice came. “Today’s the day!”
Nick frowned. “The day?” he asked, confused.
“I woke you up, didn’t I?” Mia sighed. “The moving day! The day I move to your street!”
Nick remembered. He remembered how Mia’s dad had gotten a job in California and had bought a house they later discovered was on Nick’s street. You see, after that fateful night in the courtyard at music camp, Mia and Nick had become the best of friends, and now they’d see each other for the first time since camp.
“Oh wow, I completely forgot!” Nick gasped, sitting up in bed.
“Yeah,” Mia said, “that’s because you’re still half-asleep.”
“I’m awake now,” Nick said. That statement was contradicted with a gaping yawn a couple seconds afterwards.
“Yeah,” Mia sounded unconvinced. “What’s two plus two minus five?”
“Uh,” Nick said, forcing his brain to go into school mode. “Negative one?” he said, unsure.
“Correct!” Mia cried. “Ding ding ding, we have a winner! And your prize is… me moving in in exactly one hour!”
“An hour?” Nick jumped out of bed. “I’ve got to get ready!”
Mia giggled. “Nicky-boy, hurry up, ‘cause I’m comin’ to get ya!”
“See you later,” he said before flipping the phone shut.
Why didn’t my alarm go off? Nick glanced at his alarm clock. It read 3:27.
He fell back onto the bed. Mia! he grit his teeth. Nick reached over for his phone and pressed “2.”
Mia’s happy voice greeted him. “Oh, did I say one hour? I meant seven. See you then!” and then the phone clicked.
Even though Nick should’ve been angry, he couldn’t help but laugh. That was Mia for you. He closed his eyes and smiled, thinking about how life would be different with her here. Sleep fell over him, and he dreamed of seeing her again.
So, they're gonna be reunited! *glances at font* Wow, my normal font is so small next to that humungo orange font....
Hope you like it so far! : D
