Texting And Life

Conner sat in his bed looking up at the ceiling the poster of the 67 Mustang with a brunet dressed in a bikini. he wondered how Courtney was feeling. a lot of stuff ran through his mind. He thought of just getting up and meet her then realized how late it was.

Texting Courtney, he asked, *how is it going hot body?*

Courtney had, maybe, drowned her sorrows with a little too much junk food. Not that she really gorged on it more that she didn't normally eat a lot of it. Or much of it at all because being at the school on a sports scholarship meant she had to keep herself in peak shape. Still, even Courtney had her rare occasions when she just let go when it came to that.
She now lay in her bed contemplating tomorrow and wondering if she should text Conner. When as if reading her mind her phone vibrated and she read the text from her friend. It made her smile for a moment.

*I've had better nights,* she texted back.

After, all she was terrible at lying to him. He knew her too well. And while most nights she might have responded with a flirty comment back, as a joke between friends, she just wasn't feeling it tonight.

Next texting to him. *I guess you know about Heath and Sam*

She figured she might as well get to it.

Conner wanted to joke but was not sure how it would go he thought then started to text. *Sam and Heath I know they went out and walked tonight. He wondered what she might already know. JD and rose were out to they came back holding hands who knew.* text Conner.

Courtney sighed. Then texted *I heard about Rose and JD. And you talking to Jocelyn.*

Courtney started to text, then deleted it, then wrote again, delete.

She then texted *I talked to Sam tonight. She and Heath have made it official.*

She didn't know he already knew that.

There was nothing sent for a bit Conner just let out a sigh and texted *I know. Just heard it from Heath. You know I am always straight with you but I have never seen you like this. I am sorry for not saying it right off. I don't like to see you like this.* Conner was beside himself not know what to say to make it better if he could say anything to help.

He was right; she knew that she didn't normally act like this. She usually just bounced back.

* I know. I don't know why I can't seem to just get over it. I might just need a little more time.* She was hoping that was the case.

Courtney would never say it but the idea that she was the only one, out of their smaller group, not working on pairing up with someone wasn't helping anything, either. Not that she would ever go with a guy just to be paired up with someone. That's how mistakes were made.

Text: *Maybe, we should talk about something else. How did things go with Jocelyn?*

Was she trying to change the subject? Absolutely Would Conner let her? She didn't know. At the same time though she was honestly curious as to how her friend’s night went.

Conner knew what she was doing was avoiding it. Ok, then he thought. *Hey, you need a shoulder I am here you know that right? JD and Rose from what I understand just clicked. Nothing official yet just showing interest in one other. I think it is a good match Rose had been through a lot she needs some happiness. Jocelyn, well she is interesting I think she has been through something ruff it going to take some time to build some trust. So that relationship is going to be at a slow pace.* text Conner.

*Thanks. I know. And you can read my mind too well sometimes. She texted back.*

He was trying to make her feel better and she knew he was there for her. She didn't mind that he knew what she was thinking nor by this point was it surprising.

*I'm glad you had a good night, though.* She meant that

There was a slight pause before she sent another text. *I don't think I'll be at breakfast tomorrow. I know that Heath and Sam will be announcing that they're together. I don't want to be there for that.*

If she could just wave a magic wand and make her feelings for Heath go away she would but she clearly wasn't there, yet.

Conner felt at a loss over the whole thing He texted *Thanks, I understand, you will be missed I will have to explain to JD he will notest you not there. I think even with Rose nearby lol.* He texted trying to be funny.

Courtney: *If you need to tell JD; it's fine. If anyone else asks; just tell them I had something else I needed to do*.

She thought about texting that she'd be fine or ok but she figured he'd call out on it.

If I need anything I know how to find you. Her way of saying she'd let him know if she needed him.

It was getting late and Courtney felt exhausted from all the nights of not sleeping much and the junk food that had gotten into her system.

Courtney: * I really need to go to sleep. I'll see ya tomorrow. Thanks. The thanks was understood that it was for checking up on her. Night*

Conner thought then answered *As for JD and others I can just say you had too much junk food and you were sick. I know you have had some tonight. I got you covered. Night, rest see you tomorrow. sleep in something hot you will feel better.* Joked Conner or was he joking.
