My Help?

'Alright, I'm confused right now. He is angry, concerned, angry again and he ignored me and now he followed me asking me these questions and offering help. What is wrong with him. Or is it me that has a problem?'

"Hey, Summer! Do you need help?" he repeated his question.

"No. Thank you, but I'm good. Oh, you reached your house, you should go in. Bye. See you tomorrow." I walked fast and didn't look back.

I almost ran home. Our dinner was ready when I came in, so I went to wash my hands and had dinner. After that, I went upstairs and done some homework. I checked my phone and there's a message. It's from the unknown number again. "Hey, why did you ignore my message?" Uhm, it's really hard to reply to someone when their message is just a smiley face, honestly, tell me, if it were you, what would you reply to that person? Anyway, I ignored it again and left it. I went to have a shower and prepared myself to bed. It's nearly 9 pm and I need my beauty rest.

Next day, I had my morning routine then left the house. This time, Liam was outside our gate waiting for me. "Hey, let's walk together." he smiled at me.

Those dimples and his gleaming white teeth, his smile can brighten up my day 100%. I entered my daydream mode again and thought of our future. My smile was from ear to ear while I looked at him. I totally forgot that the gate is still shut and I hit my face on it and it really hurt my nose. It woke me up from my daydream and Liam laughed at me. I felt so embarrassed I had my head looking down as we walked.

"Were you daydreaming?" he asked casually.

My face blushed with embarrassment. "Of course not! I was thinking of going out with Joey." I blurted out.

His face turned serious, "Joey?"

"Yeah, he asked me out and I'm planning to talk to him about his text message to me because I didn't reply to him yet."

"You don't usually reply to text messages?" He asked curiously.

"Sometimes I don't and there are times that I do. Someone sent me a smiley message and I just don't know how to reply to it. Besides, I don't recognize the number so I guess I will just delete the message."

"Why don't you reply, find out who that person is," he suggested enthusiastically.

"Unless that person introduces her or his self, I won't bother." and we walked together until we reached the bus stop.

He took the bus and I continued to walk to school. It didn't take long and I received a text message from an unknown number. It was the same unknown number who sent me smiley. I opened the text message and it says; "Hi! I just want to be friends with you. I'm James." I didn't reply to his text, instead, I put my phone on silent and put it in my pocket and carried on walking.

After school, I was walking with Joey along with our other classmates. We reached the school gate and Liam was there! I couldn't believe it. I totally forgot about Joey and went straight to Liam, of course, with his handsome looks, my friends followed me to him including Joey.

"I'll walk you home." he gave me his sweet smile that's capable of melting my heart so as the girls who saw it.

I looked around to check if he's really talking to me, and he was. Then I remembered Joey. So I looked behind and called his name. "Joey!" before I can say anything more, Liam grabbed my wrist and pulled me.

"Let's go!" he said in an annoyed tone of voice.

My classmates gossiped as we walked away from them. I'm sure I'll be bombarded with questions tomorrow. To be honest, I'm not sure what to tell them and I'm not looking forward to it.

"What's this all about?" I asked half annoyed and half curious.

He let go of my wrist, "I need your help!"

"My help? Are we that close now for you to ask me for help?" Of course, I will help him, I'm just playing hard to get a little.

"I'm a little shy but I think only you can help me on this one." he looked serious.

That's when it hit me. No way! He's going to ask me to help him with Liza. Never in a million years, I would say yes. I'm too scared to ask him now what's it all about. So I tried to change the topic.

"Liam, what is your favourite food?" erm, that is totally out of the blue question, but that will have to do. My ears are not ready to hear "Can you help me with Liza."
