I wake to the normal bang as I slowly stand out of my bed and change into new sweats and my cropped t shirt. The only good thing about this place is I can wear sweatpants everyday.
As I'm leaving my room I bump into Jesse, her face lighting up the second she sees me. She grabs my hand without a word and pulls me away from earshot of the rooms and into the common area.
She quickly sits down on the far couch pulling me down beside her before pelting me with questions of last night.
"So? What happened" she says, judging by her smile you would think me and Malek got engaged
"Nothing" I say shrugging "we just talked" and slowly her smile dims down
"You didn't kiss?" She says surprised
"No! Why would we?" I say confused
"We left you guys alone for the night on purpose, duh" she says as if it was obvious. The way I remember it she left to have sex.
Just then Malek and Aaron emerge from their rooms and Jesse quickly drops the subject.
We all make our way to the table and sit down in silence when Aaron starts talking to Jesse, thank god the last thing we need was awkward silence.
I watch Malek as he settles into the chair, without his shirt as always. He then looks up across the table back at me for a moment but I quickly look away and join into Aaron and Jesses conversation.
Suddenly the normal ladies emerge and place down our food, a bowl or cereal with almond milk, toast and an orange.
Aaron and Jesse continue to talk as Malek and I stay silently eat, listening to their conversations about favourite movies and tv.
"What's yours?" I hear Aaron suddenly asks followed by silence. I zone back in and realize they where talking to me.
"Uhm I don't know" I say confused
"Your favourite tv show?" Jesse looks at me strange
"I don't know I guess the office" I say n Jesse nods in agreement
"Malek?" Jesse than asks and he just shakes his head
"You can't think of one show you liked?" Aaron asks him confused
"I don't have one" he says simply
"Favourite movie?" Jesse asks now trying to get him to talk about anything and open up but he just shrugs and continues eating
"Artist?" I say suddenly a little floored he doesn't have a favourite movie or tv show
He looks up from his food at me for a moment before saying "Frank Ocean" and Aaron and Jesse nod in agreement. I would've said the same thing.
After breakfast Aaron went to testing while me and Jesse watched some tv, while Malek went into the gym to work out. Couldn't be me.
The days are already starting to blend together, on days and off days of testing being the only real divide. I find myself staring at the wallpaper and small details of the room out of boredom. I can't imagine months of this.
After lunch was over I walked over and started drawing with Jesse when suddenly Dr Martin calls my name, then Maleks?
I turn around to Malek looking up off the couch at me confused then towards Dr Martin.
I stand confused as it's not my day but continue to walk towards the big metal doors, meeting up with Dr Martin.
"We are trying some group work today" he says with a kind smile and I turn to find Malek walking towards us confused? He's coming without a fight?
