She (THEY 1/3) completed

Chapter 23

Another day at school.

Yay.

I fell off of the bed and managed not to break anything, as I got ready for school.

I wasn't the early riser, but knowing Mateo, I still got up earlier.

Last night Mateo drove me home, and I fell on my bed completely exhausted, not even getting my clothes off.

No matter what he thought, I'm totally gonna go to his house to annoy him.

One way or another.

I walked down to kitchen just to be met with food already on the table, and Neil eating something.

-"Good morning sweetheart." He said, making me chuckle when he wiggles his eyebrows.

-"Good morning."

I sat on the counter and took the plate what was obviously waiting for me, and emptied it.

Soon enough we were heading to school again, for the fourth or fifth time in this week.

Weird isn't it.

-"Is something wrong?" Neil finally asked, when he stopped the car in schools parking lot.

Frowning, I turned my head to face him.

-"No, why do you think it is?" I asked.

-"You just seem different." He answered and I shrugged.

-"And when are you gonna finally talk to Mateo?" He asked, and as waiting for my answer looked at me.

-"What do you mean? I am talking to Mateo." I said, pretending not to know what he means, but I did know.

I love him for caring about me, but I didn't want to have this conversation.

Not now.

Not ever.

So I smiled at him and when he tried to say something else I climbed out of the car and slammed the door shut.

I walked in school, and Laina immediately found me by my locker, and tried me to talk.

But I was too busy thinking about Mateo, that I didn't pay any attention to her.

Soon she stopped trying, and at first I thought it was because I didn't answer, but then Neil came in my sight and kissed her.

So yeah, couples all around.

But my mind was completely off to Mateo.

How he managed to look good no matter what. How he sometimes chuckled about all the stupid and weird things coming out of my mouth.
How he let me come to his apartment, even thought I didn't need any lessons anymore.
Oh, did I sayer's already, how he looked good everywhere, every time, and no matter what?

Yeah, he's amazing.

So he has no reason to be with me, right?

I don't have parents because I killed them, I'm crazy and insane, and my step parents are still in the hospital- because of me,

and most importantly, I'm a mutant.

So I don't deserve him.

What am I telling myself?

I sighed, when I finally got irritated from my thoughts.

And I finally decided to actually pay attention to the teacher, to get my mind off of Mateo.

And for a moment it did work.

I listened and wrote down what he said, but after some while it just was too easy for me. I couldn't get why should I learn that again.
