Date Me
A/N: So it was soon..so be it. XD
Thanks guys~
Rubbing my eyes, I stare at my computer screen blearily. Just five hundred more words and I'm done. Just five hundred more. I groan and put my head in my hands. Five hundred. My phone vibrates and I glance over at it. The text message is from Mist.
I unlock the screen and read what she sent. "So what was up with you and Gary? He and I talked for a good five minutes before he left. About school 'n stuff. He kept bringing you up though. O_O."
I blink, and reread the text a couple more times. "Well.." I murmur aloud, and go silent. My fingers tap the screen quietly and I send my response. "Haha, who knows? ^.^ He's just a sociable guy. Gotta finish this essay before tomorrow. Ttyl later! ^3^."
I set my phone down and return my focus to the computer. Five hundred words... Why would Gary bring me up a lot? He's said before whenever I've seen him that he'd never like anyone he knows currently. I frown. It doesn't matter. Maybe he's just trying to be friendly. That or spring into another relationship. Again. I lie my head onto the desk. This sucks. Closing my eyes, I feel my brain shutting down. I blink at the clock. It reads: 1:45am.
I turn away and my eyes droop closed.
Yawning, I roll my head to the side and check the time. 6am. I slept badly again. Pushing my body up to rest on my elbows, I tap my laptop pad and it slowly wakes up.
"Leaf, you awake?" Mom calls from downstairs.
"Yes," I reply, "I'm going to head out soon."
"Don't forget to get your schoolwork done before you leave the house," she tells me.
"Yes, I will," I call, and stumble over to my bathroom to take a shower. I've finished all my assignments. Except for the five hundred words.. I slap my face, and accidentally get shampoo in my eyes.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEK!" I blindly step out of the shower and feel around for my towel. Grasping it, I rub my face, but that just makes it worse. I hate this shampoo. Wrapping myself with the towel, I walk for the door and exit the bathroom.
"Mom?" I call as I hear someone at the front door, hoping she hasn't left yet. I head over to my bedroom balcony and reach out for the screen door. I slide it open, my eyes still squeezed shut. "Mom-?"
"Did you hear someone?" a male voice asks. I freeze.
"No, you're just imagining things," a second says.
Hang on...
"Well, good day anyway," the first says. I drop down, holding on to the screen door as I press the towel to myself tightly.
"Mail man is gone," the second voice says. I force one eye open, and through the painful throbbing, I see...Gary. My face drains of color and I just sit there, completely frozen. "Well, good morning," he says, not looking at me, and I close my eye as he jogs away, his back to me. "Might want to think twice before walking out onto a balcony in a towel."
I crawl back inside and pull the curtains closed. Damn! Dammit! I put a hand to my face and feel the heat radiating from it. It was early and I thought my mom was still there! I'm not...!
Shaking my head, I squint, and find my clothes before changing into them. "Now where are my glasses..." I murmur. That's when it hits me. Gary was the one who was out there. HE saw me. He told the mailman that I wasn't there. But he still saw me in a towel.
I slide my glasses on and look in my mirror to see my eyes are red and my hair in a ratty wet mess. Groaning, I go to my closet and pick out some clothes for the day. My phone beeps and I glance over to see two text messages.
I click on the first which is from Misty. "After I get out of school and you've finished your papers, how about we go out for a movie or to eat something fancy? I'm feelin' hungry yo and it's only six forty-five! :P" I smirk, and reply. "Yes, that sounds good. How about we go to get sushi? 030"
I then tap away to the second message. I don't read it. I can't. It's from Gary. No. No. No.
My phone beeps again; another message from Misty. "Is it okay if Serena comes?"
I type again. "Sure."
Yes more later. Eventually. Maybe. Idk. Lol. Bai!
