Obsession

7. But American Horror Story...

Another morning, another day having to go to school. Oh what joy. Note the sarcasm?

Waking up to the sun in my face had me groaning and squinting my eyes multiple times. I checked my clock and mentally praised myself for not waking up late again. I got up and dragged my feet to the bathroom thinking about Calum once again. God help me now! He's the only thing I think about! Don't get me wrong now! I swear i'm not creepy but... Ugh it's just... Him!

Deciding on not just standing in the middle of my bathroom thinking about him, I got into the shower and hummed to some One Direction songs. Once I got out I thought about what I was gonna wear and just picked out some ripped skinny jeans with a tight black tank top and a loose red and black flannel to go over. I also chose some black vans cause who cares right? Finishing up my make up and combing my hair, I grabbed my book bag heading downstairs and walking into the kitchen. My mom was looking through the fridge desperately probably trying to find some Yogu-

"Violet did you eat all the yogurt? Again?!" She asked with a slightly annoyed tone. Oops. Just what I thought.

I tried holding back my smile and answered with a "Maybe." She looked up at me and sighed closing the fridge mumbling about heading to Starbucks for breakfast. I chuckled lightly and passed her kissing her cheek.

"Sorry and good morning." I said walking towards a cabinet I knew my mom had put the granola bars in.

"Morning to you too. How'd you sleep?" Beside the fact that I had another one of those nightmares again, I'm good.

"Dreamed about it again..." I mumbled.

"What was that?" I turned my head to see her raise an eyebrow at me while leaning back against a counter and crossing her arms across her chest in the process.

"Nothing just... That dream again..." I turned back around grabbing two granola bars and sticking one in my book bag while removing the wrapper of the other.

"The bad one?" She asked worried.

"Yes the bad one..." I responded closing my eyes not wanting to talk about it anymore. She seemed to notice my stress and moved towards me wrapping her arms around me in a welcoming hug. I hugged her back sighing quietly.

"Sorry sweetie. Try getting your mind of it ok?" She kissed the top of my head and I smiled feeling safe in her embrace.

"Yeah I will... Thanks mom."

"Now." She said pulling away but keeping her arms on my shoulders. "How would you..." She had a smile and I knew this wouldn't be good. "Like to go out tonight with Syndir since it is a Friday?" There it is.

"Seriously mom? Tonight?" I asked with a little frown.

"What's wrong with tonight?"

"Tonight's a new episode of American Horror Story! Syndir should know that."

"She said just to record it cause she really wanted to hang out with you today." I thought about it for a few seconds. Hmm... Spending my Friday night at home tucked in bed eating junk food while watching Netflix or... Spending my Friday night with Syndir and not even knowing what were doing? I think you guys already know where this is going.

"But mom..." I groaned. "My junk food..."

"Violet you're gonna go with her whether you like it or not ok? You haven't been out in a while and this is good for you ok?" She said with a smile. Ugh I wanna go back to bed.

"Fine..." I said crossing my arms across my chest. "What are we even doing?"

"Probably shopping or something. Isn't that fun?"

"Sure." I said with little emotion. I looked at my phone and noticed it was time to leave for school. Stab me now someone.

I cleared my throat and looked at my mom pointing my head towards the time. She looked and widened her eyes noticing she was running a bit late.

"Oh!" She ran to grab her purse and keys and signaled for me to head to the car. Another day, another school day...
