Metanoia: the journey of changing one's mind, heart, self, or way of life.
"You don't see it do you? You're becoming the thing you feared the most. The thing that's tormented you and your friends since the third grade." I said to him, meaning every...

I woke up to the sound of an unfamiliar alarm going off. I groaned and tried to roll out of bed but I couldn't. I felt a heavy weight on my chest and stomach and my eyes snapped open.
I looked down to find a mess of red hair on my chest and my face immediately flushed. The boy who was cuddling me was lightly snoring, unfazed by the loud alarm. I've daydreamed about this moment at least a thousand times. Never thought it would have came true though.
I shook his shoulder lightly. "Eli... Eliiii... wake up." He groaned but refused to get up. I sighed and shook his shoulder harder.
"Come on, Eli. It's the first day of school and I need to go home and get ready. AND SHUT THE DAMN ALARM OFF!" I yelled at him. He groaned again and slammed his palm against the bed. He got off of me and turned the alarm off.
I got off the bed and stretched. That's probably the best sleep I've gotten in a long time. I realized I was still in my jeans and t-shirt from last night. Shit. I must have fell asleep on the way here.
I felt the sweat all on my body from Eli sleeping on me probably half way through the night. I need a shower before school. I turned to Eli to ask him if I could use his when I noticed what he was wearing. Or actually, what he wasn't wearing. My eyes went wide and my cheeks were red as a tomato as I looked at his now toned stomach and well... his v-line.
"U-um. Can I use your shower? I'm very sweaty and I don't feel like going to school smelling bad." I told him. He turned to me and yawned.
"Yea of course. You know how to use it right? You can just use my soap and what not." He said and I nodded and headed into the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror and my eyes widened. I look like absolute shit. HE SAW ME LOOKING LIKE THIS?! I ran my hand over my face and undressed myself. I turned the shower on and hopped in. The warm water felt nice and I let out a soft sigh.
I grabbed his shampoo and washed my hair thoroughly. I then washed my body and rinsed everything and got out. I dried myself off and realized I didn't have any clean clothes.
I went back into Eli's room and started to look for my old clothes that I used to keep here. I was in the middle of looking through a drawer when the door burst open.
I turned around startled and it was Eli. "Jesus Christ, E. You scared the shit out of me. Where's the clothes I used to keep here?" I asked him. His face was flushed and he batted his eyes before he answered me.
"I-it's uh, they're in the drawer to your left."
I nodded and opened the drawer. I found a red crop top and some black, ripped jeans. This outfit should do. I grabbed the clothes and went back into the bathroom.
I put the outfit on and took the tooth brush that I always kept here and brushed my teeth. I grabbed the extra hair brush that I also keep here and brushed my hair. I found a hair dryer and finished that up.
