03. "What lunch are you talking about?"


"Dear diary,


It's Sunday now, and tomorrow starts my second week at Nissen.
Yesterday i was at the Evas party with Jonas, Mahdi and Magnus. I didn't really enjoy it. AND after all i did something stupid, because i gave my number to that Even - boy because he said he wanted to "talk"?!? I think it was a bad idea :DD
But anyways, i should go now so byeee!


- Isak, 23.8.2016"


I checked my phone, and saw plenty of messages from Even. I rolled my eyes, and sighed before i opened them.


Even??: FINALLY!


Even??: I have always wanted to talk to you!!


Even??: Hey dude, where are youu??


I didn't know how to react. To me he was kinda scary right now. Such a dork.



Me: I'm here.


Me: What's up?


Even??: Nothing, chilling with my girlfriend. How about you?


Me: Well, that must be boring because you're still texting with me :D


Me: + I don't even know you?!


Even??: Of course you know me?


Even??: I'm the king of Hartvig Nissen!


Me: Because you get a lot of girls, huh?


Even??: That's only one of them reasons :)


Me: Fine.


I put my phone away for a while, and just stared at the ceiling while laying on my bed.
Even seemed to be nice, but he's just not my type. He's also arrogant, and he gives me some type of anxiety which wasn't very cool. But i couldn't just ignore him either...


Even??: Maybe we could hang out sometimes?


I didn't get a chance to reply to him, when my mom walked into my room.
She didn't even knock, and she knew that i hated that.


"Can't you just knock to the door before you just rush into my room??" I asked without trying to sound annoyed, i failed.


"I'm sorry honey, i always forget that!" she apologized.


"I see that" I answered quietly.


Then she sat down onto my bed, and i got up.


"I just wanted to say that i invited our new neighbours to have lunch with us today, so i was thinking that maybe you could come with us too?" She asked shyly.


I furrowed my eyebrows. Was she serious right now?


"Dad is coming too, and our neighbours have a son who is about in your age. You'd probably come along very well!" She was trying to convince me.


"Fine", i finally said so that she would leave.


"Thank you", she said and kissed me to my forehead before she disappeared from my room, gladly.


I opened my phone again, and replied to Even.


Me: Sure!


Me: Whenever you want.


I decided to give him a chance, even though i didn't like him that much. At least i could brag about him to Jonas, Mahdi and Magnus.


Even??: Maybe next week or something?


Me: Yeah, why not?


Even??: Great!


Even??: But i have to go now, i'm going to have a lunch with my family and my neighbours so talk to you later!


Me: Wait, WHAT?


Me: What lunch are you talking about?


Me: EVEN!?!?


Then the alarm bells started to ring in my head, and i realized it all.
Maybe Even was the son my mom was talking about earlier. Maybe he's going to have lunch at ours soon with his family?


I hear our doorbell ringing, and i started to fear the worst.


"Isak! Come!" My mom yelled to me.


I put my phone to my pocket, and slowly opened the door of my room.
I saw people standing in our hallway. One of them really was Even.


"Oh shit!" I whispered to myself and closed the door quickly.


I leaned myself against the door, and took many deep breaths. I wasn't ready to see him with his family after i had seen him making out with his girlfriend?!?
But i had to go. I didn't want to dissappoint mom. I got out of my room, and saw Even standing right in front of me.


"Umm.. Hello", he said and smiled shyly.


He stared at me straight into my eyes, and it was creepy. Suddenly, i felt thousands of butterflies in my stomach.
He has light brown hair, and planet blue eyes. I saw his cheek bones very clearly, because they were so sharp.


"Wow" I said.


After that i realized how stupid i sounded. Even began to laugh and i started to blush.


"Am i that gross?" He asked and i quickly shook my head.


"No, i guess." I said.


After that we just awkwardly stared at each other for a while, and i felt my cheeks turn even more red.


I introduced myself to his parents, and we went to our kitchen. Mom had made a great lunch. We had some potatoes, salad, couple of different meats and vegetables. Those times i appreciated my mom so, so much.


"Isak and i are full already, so if you don't mind we could go to his room", Even said and turned to look at me.


He sat right in front of me on the other side of the table. I looked at him like i didn't know if he was serious or not. No one said anything for a while.


"Oh yeah, i'm very, very full. But thanks for the food, mom. It was delicious" I said and got up from the table. Even did the same.


Then i walked to my room, and Even followed. We sat down onto my bed, without saying a single word. I didn't know what to say to him. I wanted him to start the conversation, and he actually did.


"So, your parents..." He started.


I nodded towards the door, that was left open. He went to close it.


"So, your girlfriend", i answered and made him laugh.


"What's so funny in that?" I asked and looked at him.


"I'm not serious with her. She says that she's in love with me but it's kinda one-sided, sadly." He said and smiled.


"Great", i said.


And again, we sat in silence. I hated it because it was awkward, but somehow it felt normal with him. I didn't feel like i needed to talk all the time. It was nice.


"Would you like to hang out with me tomorrow after school?" He broke the silence.


"Sure, it would be cool." I said, because i didn't have anything to do tomorrow.


Then Evens mom walked in, to say that they were leaving soon.


"Tomorrow at my place, deal?" Even asked.


"Deal, but don't forget to text me the address or i'm not coming, obviously." I answered.


He nodded before he left the room.
Tomorrow is going to be exciting.
