"Call him!" I mumbled to myself knowing that not talking to him doesn't only hurt him, but it hurts me. I paced back and forth in my room and the sole of my trainers squeaked. I put my left hand on my waist and held my LG Android in my hand. I sighed, deeply. "You're such a pussy Cassandra! Just fucking call him innit." I keep telling myself. I search on contacts and when his name appeared on my screen, I swallowed hard. My heart pound my ribcage and I could feel my cheeks were hot. I didn't know whether I was mad or sad. I tapped on the screen and waited for the person to pick it up.

"Hello?" a deep voice answered. I wasn't so familiar with it so I shut the phone anxiously. My eyes widened and I giggled,

"Oh shit, who was that?" I said. Since when did I made this talking to myself a habit? It's official, I have gone mad. I shook my head hesitantly and instead of wasting my energy on trying to call him again, I put in my earphones and get myself lost in the music. I nod my head to the beat as the melody the melody travel through my ear. The next thing I know, I was dancing and swayed my hand to the sides. I sang the chorus and mumbled to the lyrics that I didn't know. I was interrupted when the device in my hand vibrated.

Startled, I looked at the rectangular shaped screen and my jaw dropped. I took out the earphones, and tapped on the answer button. "Er.. hello?" I sounded nervous.

"Sorry. That was my dad. I was in the toilet." This time, the voice was familiar. The deep but not intimidating voice spoke. I was relieved and I grinned.

"Nah, it's okay fam. Listen yeah, I'm sorry about yesterday. I don't know what came over me, it just sorta happened." So I began apologising to him, to one of my bestest friend. He stayed silent, I could only hear him breathe through the phone. The sound of his breathing was wet and heavy, like as if he's been running. "You there?" I asked. No reply. "You there?" I asked again.

"Yeah, yeah I'm here." Eric said, finally. "I- uh.. uh.." the boy stuttered, trying to find the right words to say. "It's okay man. I mean, I'm sure you didn't mean to do that. What's done is done innit, no need to bring it up again."

"No! I'm sorry! You don't understand! What I did was wrong and dumb and I didn't mean to-" I yelled through the phone but he cut me mid-sentence,

"I said it's fine." His voice sounded pure and innocent, like a little child asking for forgiveness after he had done something wrong. This time, it was my turn to stutter. I didn't know what to say, and for the first time ever; I ran out of words. "Well, if that's all I better go."

"Kay."

I relaxed on my comfortable bed and stare at my phone screen; a picture of me and Eric in the summer. I smiled and hugged my pillow. I closed my eyes, reminiscing about what happened in the summer before school started. Eric asked me and a bunch of other people to go hang out and have a picnic at Greenwich park. Everyone laughed when Eric fell tripped on the garbage bin because he was trying to flirt with the girls that passed by. We all had fun and at that time, I didn't want the day to end. I snapped back into the present when my phone buzzed and Sina, a good friend of mine called me.

I ignored the phone call and went back into my own world. It's nice there I thought. Then, I received a text from Sina saying, 'U bitch! Y didn't u pickd up da phone? I need to talk to u fam. call me back. NOW!!! xxx' I groaned. I was too lazy to talk. Wait, not lazy but sad. I didn't know what about because he said it was fine so I should be happy but instead, I'm not.

I rolled over to the side and studied my room in detail; the lava lamp was place on my bedside table, the shape squared alarm clock next to it, the tubes and pots of make up placed on the wooden drawer. "You need to clean your room," I tutted to myself. I was interrupted by the sound of my stomach grumbling. Again, I groaned. Lazily, I got up from my bed and sauntered out of my room. My stomach keeps on grumbling and I folded my arms against my hungry stomach. The smell of chicken pot pie travelled through inside my nostrils and I licked my lips, hungrily. I quicken my pace and jumped behind my mom causing her to stumble while she washing the dishes.

"Ba!" I shouted, sneaking up behind her. She slapped my arm and laughed. She nod over to the table, asking me to sit down and wait for her to finish the dishes. I did what she said and we had lunch together. Our conversation was the typical daughter and mother talk. After lunch, I decided to go and watch TV eventhough I knew that I had tons of homework untouched. There was nothing interesting on TV so I went back upstairs and decided to call Sina.

"Hello?" her voice was full and I could hear her chewing.

"Ergh man, don't talk with your mouth full." I said, disgusted.

She swallowed her food and laughed, "You alright?" she said in that Jamaican accent that never fails to make me laugh. "Oh yeah, I need to tell you something," she said as she chomp her food, "Eric said that he loves you and that you're his bestest mate ever. He also said, that he know what you did was wrong but it didn't matter cos he loves you lot's friendship more than anything. Oh and.."

"What?" I said eagerly.

"Buy me some fried chicken tomorrow! I'm fucking hungry mate," she joked and hung up the phone.

I laughed and sighed happily, to me, that was the best news ever. I had a big grin on my face and my heart was at ease. My stomach felt warm and pleasant; I had now realise that my friendship with Eric means everything to me and I knew that it will be forever.
