"Notes"

I'm still experimenting with the story, if something doesn't make sense, that's why.

I use a mix of third and first person to switch up the perspective and easier for me to write.

"Story"

Time: 7:00am

Location: Michael's Bathroom

The water fell onto his dark hair, crawling down onto his neck and down his back. Michael was taking a cold shower to wake him up. Although it was a cold one, his thoughts were far from cold or boring. He couldn't help to think about why Monika wanted to meet him. They never made plans before, either way; she'd have probably forgotten about it, it was late after all.

5 Minutes Later

Michael had gotten out of the shower and dried his body, rubbed his hair with the towel a little; he wouldn't blow dry it because he wanted a kind of "sharper," look. He put his trousers on, put a layer of deodorant on, then his lynx; he would do this to stop him from sweating, but the deodorant he wore didn't smell that good, so he'd wear lynx over it, and took his streaks and sent it to his mates.

He started to get fully changed, putting on his shirt and sweater, looked in the mirror and thought "That's a kitty slammer right there," chuckled and went into the kitchen to make his breakfast. He looked through his phone seeing if anyone had started a conversation after his streaks, luckily not. Michael would get bored a lot while he was talking to people on the phone.

Then, Monika snapped him. It was a mirror selfie of her in her uniform and it wrote "Lookin forward to seeing u tonight ;) xx"

So she didn't forget.

"Same, you want me to bring anything? I've got henny in the fridge from my mum, and I can probably bring fags xx"

Michael would occasionally take cigarettes from his mum's drawer, she smokes and he would take some for him and his friends.

"Henny sounds good, but I don't smoke and don't want to try lol xx"

"Fair enough, at least u aint pushing your opinions on me, man appreciates that, I'll bring the henny, I'm tryna have some fun xxx"

"Same but there's something I really want, I heard a lot abt what your ex said abt you and your big friend ;) xxx"

Ugh, so she did say something about it, I don't even know how things spread that quickly.

"Calm down Monika, what happens will happen, let's not get too excited lol xx"

"Aww ur such a prude, well either way I'm lookin forward to it xx"

"Me too, I've wanted to get to know you more for a little bit xx"

"Same here, but it's been for a while lol, I've got something to ask though xx"

"What it be? xx"

"When we meet up, can we just let stuff happen, I don't want it to be awkward xx"

Oh.. so this is a booty call.

"I'm not here for a booty call, let's just get to know each other, but if something happens and I like it, I'll let it slide xx"

"It's not a booty call I just want things not to be awkward right away, I wanna get close anyway xx"

"Alright then, I'll talk to you once you're back from school xxx"

"Talk to you later, wish I could talk to you all day xxx"

I don't.

"Same, but I've got shit to do, inabit xx"

I don't have anything to do, but I still want to be friends with her so I'll pretend to share her excitement.

8 Hours Later

I sent a snap to my friends Tom and Mark, I've known Tom for 5 years, since I moved into this town, and he's been here for me. I had to move to this town because I had an abusive father, so we moved here for safety. I've known Mark for about a year and a half and he's one of the nicest people I know, he's always supporting me and always respects me and my decisions, same can be said about Tom to be fair though. They both helped me through my dark times and I'd do anything to help and protect them. Anything.

The snap said:

"Oiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, I'm going round Monika's tonight, she wants the ting wgm"

Mark replied straight away

"YES LAD, YOU GONNA GET THAT PUSSY TONIGHT!"

I started to laugh quietly, what a guy.

"I'm not trying to shag her straight away but she said she wants to get close and this would be a way for us to be less awkward"

"Nice, she defo wants that dick, I can tell lmaoo"

"Yeah lol, I'm bringin henny too"

"Ooooo, somethings defo gonna happen, once your back in school people are gonna be on about you two shagging constantly LOL"

"Nah I don't think that's happening bruva"

"Well either way whatever happens happens am I right?"

"Tru dat, well I'll msg u later, I've got shit to do."

That's my usual excuse to stop talking to someone, it always works.

2 Minutes Later

I heard my phone go off as Tom messaged me, he said

"Are you two gonna shag?"

He's a little bit dry like I am, we're very similar

"I don't think so, either way what happens happens"

"Fair enough"

As soon as Tom said that, I saw Monika had sent me a snap, I opened it and was slightly surprised to what I saw; she was wearing booty shorts and a crop top and was showing off her back, the snap said

"You tryna hit this tonight ;)) xx"

She was being really upfront with me, which got me very worried. Every single time I take things too fast, it never ends well. For fuck sake, I don't want this to happen again, but we've known each other for a while, so if anything happens it should be good. I just don't want another round of self harming again, something worse may happen.

"I told u Monika I don't wanna pull up there and shag, but you lookin fine as hell lmao xx"

"Aww thank you :) xx"

"Yw, just message me when you're ready to meet xx"

"Alright Mikey xxxx"

I need to think about this. I need to plan ahead, I can't fall into the loop again, I can't catch feelings again, It'll ruin me, I need to be sure about this. She's fit but I don't know everything about her. I guess I'll just put on some music and change my outfit, she clearly wants something exciting to happen so I'll change into something more comfortable. I wore my grey KWD joggers and a white Nike shirt, white AF1s and white socks. I wasn't going out to party or spend a while outside so I didn't dress to impress. I put some gum in my pocket, had some food and used my mouthwash.

Now I have wait for another 8 hours.

I guess I'll just work out for a little bit, I haven't anything else to do so I'll get it over with now.

Michael went to an empty part of his room, got in the position for press-ups, he was going to do 2 sets of 25, nothing too hard, just something to keep him in shape.

After this, he did 2 sets of 25 for sit-ups and tricep dips.

"Ending notes"

There will be another chapter uploaded soon after this one. In the next two hours.
