Pick A Number Novels & Stories

I'm numb ****

I wink. Inhaling a breath, I shut the door and head inside Quinn's house. Ice cream first. Pity party second. Anti-male chick-flicks third. ***

Many kids scrambled to pick numbers between one to ten, because - who didn't like to come in the first ten, right? When it got to my turn, I scrunched up my face and picked zero. Master Haruki scoffed and said I needed to pick another number. He said Zero meant I was nothing, but as young as I was, I reasoned in my head that zero came before one and I told him as such. I knew he considered it when he put his hand against his chin in meditative thought.

"Fair enough, then why don't we have a wager?" Ava stares at her nails in behalf of her translucent existence. Obviously trying to get on his nerves. Making it seem as if she was wasting her precious time. She stood up and stride through the sea of golden clouds. Stopping half way with a straight face while crossing her arms and impatiently tapping her bare right foot. "I wouldn't strike a deal with someone I couldn't see." "Humans and their doubts. Fine." "You?" Ava was astounded when the voice finally took form and showed itself.

After a few moments, my name, Blake, flashes across the screen. Wyatt releases my hand as I continue to stare at the screen. Wyatt turns his head towards me and asks, “Do you have any preference for a five-digit security number?” I stop and think for a moment, but nothing comes to mind. I slowly shake my head. Wyatt turns his attention back towards the screen. “That’s all right. We don’t want it to be anything that is too easy to figure out, so how about I just pick one.”

From an unknown number. I read it. Leave now or be next.

As we are near Jamie's house I decided to stop km away from their house, to talk to her, I look at her face and I saw how beautiful she was and I told her. "Give me your phone!" I told her as confusion registered on her face. But she willingly gives her cellphone and I type my number and saved it on her phone as I told her."Call me when you're decided I put my number there so that you can contact me as long as you have told your father that you are coming with me. Could I get your decision until tomorrow?"

Any predictions Thanks for reading <3

I have been waiting for this call. I picked up the call...

He said and hurriedly left the house. He battled with wiping the tears of his face and drying his nose as he walked like he was almost running through the woods. He needed to see Jane. He needed to apologise. Maybe she was only angry when she rejected him and could accept him back if she sees him. On his way to Jane's house, his cellphone began to ring. There was no name on the caller ID. It was a new number. Jaden picked up without hesitation. "It can only be Jane." He thought.
