POV [name]

Once I got off the elevator, I waved the cute guy goodbye and put the keys in the apartment door. I got in, then closed the door. I threw the keys into the key bowl, took my shoes off at the front door, and threw my bag onto the couch. I smelled cookies in the house, so I went to the kitchen. My dad was baking.

"How was school my firecracker" He asked, still mixing the batter

"Shitty as always. I got detention by the way"

"What did you do?" He lifted his head up to look at me

"I dragged a girl by her hair" "No way!" He instantly stopped all actions and sat down on the couch patting the seat next to him.

"Spill it, I'm intrigued. What did the bitch do?"

"You know those girls that try way too hard? Yea she was like that and it was hitting on my nerves. It was one of Tom's flings."

"Another fling? Boy get's ladies faster than I can breathe." He chuckles a bit shocked.

"He always goes for the dumb Bimbos though"

"It's a fling. What are you expecting? For him to pick a nerdy girl? What is she gonna do? Recite Pythagoras theorem while he does her?" He shakes his head as he gets up and pats my head before going back to making his cookies.

I love spending time with my dad. He was like a best friend. My step mom thought it was annoying. My dad is way too good for her and she doesn't deserve him at all.

I take my bag from the couch and head to my room. I sit on the floor and open my phone to see a new message.

I click to open it

[Today was so boring, atlease you made it fun by dragging her. She was annoying anyways so thankyou for getting rid of her for me :)
-Tom]

 I chuckle at the message and type something back.

[I didn't do it for you, but no problem I guess.]

At some point, the short back and forth went on for most of the evening. I didn't even get to do my homework. I was about to open another message when someone barged into my room.

"What are you doing on the floor? Get up!"

It was my step mom. She clearly had no respect for my privacy and boundaries. If she wasn't dating my dad I would've said something back. But instead I just rolled my eyes and got up. I jumped on my bed and turned the phone back on. That's when she took my phone out of my grasp.

"Did you just roll your eyes at me?"

"Yes."

"You are such a rude and ungrateful Brat! No more phone for the week"

"I didn't even do anything" I protested. She just randomly came and decided to bug me for some reason. She just looked at me badly then slammed my door. I groaned in frustration. This bitch was pissing me off day by day. I couldn't even get to send my message to Tom. I guess I'll tell him tomorrow then.

POV Tom

She hasn't replied to my message and it's been 3 minutes. Did she maybe not want to talk to me? Did I say something wrong?

 I decided to turn off the phone for a sec. Maybe she will answer.

 But no response.

 The anxiety of having sent that message started climbing a bit so I quickly deleted it .Put the phone on my night table and rested my head on the pillow. When you sleep you don't feel anxious so that's what I did.

Ok so Third chapter is up! Hope yall like it. Also I tried to make it longer. What did Tom send to [name] ? Guess we will never know 😉

Take care <3
