4 WEEKS LATER.

I sigh, making my way to my joined bathroom. There; I flick the lights on and look myself in the mirror. It had been 6AM, on a Friday morning and graduation was soon approaching.

It was during the ending of winter time so it was relatively dark out during this early of the mornings. With that; I took an hour long shower and got dressed in my warmest two piece black sweatpants, paired with a matching hoodie.

In an instant, I was out the door with the jingle of my car keys and like a quick cut scene I was in my car, ordering a coffee while making my way to school.

It felt weird, knowing that I was soon going to be leaving this place, it was not so long ago when I first started eighth grade, met jayden, found out I'd be in the same school with my best friend Alex. It was so..great, how times flies. Speaking on the topic of time;

I had been spending time on myself.

Did it have to take a confrontational breakdown with my mother, a girl I grew obsessed with and lots..and I mean lots of weed to realize that i..kinda had a problem?

Yes. Yes it did.

After that realization i tried methods to somewhat 'better myself' from there. I tried your typical breathing exercises, jogging..I even tried therapy.

"so..lets unpack the relationship between you and your mother"

sickening. i mean i did relapse a couple times. had a few cigs here and there, smashed a few girls to destress and maybe drank more than i anticipated. i guess you could say, im just human and I'm trying.

Anyways, four weeks had passed after my tried transformation and right now i was seated across my friends, the dummies and it was lunch time.
The hours had passed as quick as the breeze as we sat and indulged in the outdoor cafeteria.

It was way too full inside.

The air was crisp and my mind a haze, almost peaceful. Jayden was yapping about his usual escapades while Alex listened, laughing here and there. i just kinda dosed off, letting my mind consume me till a swift shove brought back my attention. 

"yo, earth to dumbass..what's up with you?"

Alex pipped up, making me acknowledge my surroundings. i cleared my throat, shrugging.

"nothing, what's up?"

"nah..somethings definitely wrong, you still thinking about-"

"No."

Don't.

I cut jayden off before he could speak up. 

I already knew where this was heading, he was assuming I had been back to my old ways of thinking about.

"Armani"

Alex finished, chuckling a bit before the pair turned back to their conversation. Leaving that name in the air to linger, I breathed it in.

Armani.

I hadn't spoken to her since that time I..saw her hugging Lamar in the halls. The way he looked at her, the way she looked at him, it was evident I was in the middle of a typical true love story, where I thought that maybe I..was the supporting love interest.
