The day finally come where Braden would visit me and Alex. I tried to play it cool, but it was hard to. I couldn't wait to see him in person. I had talked to him before, actually. Alex let me say hi and introduce myself one time when they were face timing each other on Skype. I soon finished getting ready (it was eleven o'clock.) and that was when the doorbell rang. Alex was already opening the door, so I stood behind him, smiling. They greeted with hugs and, "Hey Alex, it's been a while!" And, "Heyyy!" That was when Braden turned to me, smiling. But it was different. What do I say..?? I was panicking inside, but tried to keep my cool. Smiling, I managed to say, "Hey Braden," I held out my hand for him to shake, and he did. "Hi, Charlie, right?" He asked. I nodded. "Yeah, but you could just call me Minty." I said, glancing nervously at Alex, which was a sign that I needed help. He broke the silence that had lasted for a couple seconds. "So, what're we gonna do?" Alex asked. "How about...." Braden thought for a few seconds. "House tour?"
Shit.
I forgot to clean my room! I had to think of something, and fast. "You two can figure it out, I'll be right back.." I ran up the stairs as normal as possible, and ran to my room. the anxiety had got to me and I couldn't breathe very well.
Just stay calm. Deep breaths. I thought as i fumbled around, looking for my inhaler. Once I was finished with it, I threw all my clothes into the closet and walked back down. "Sorry about that.. So, did you guys decide on what your gonna do?" Braden and Alex nodded with mischievous smiles. "Uh oh." I murmured.
