My Somewhat Forbidden Love

57

After another hour and a half studying biology, I'm proud with myself. I got the photosynthesis equation imprinted in my memory and the rest of the vocabulary as well.

Usually I hardly get any studying done, but I am determined to get a good grade on that regents exam and all the others. Not only for me, but so that I can show my mother I'm not an air head.

I glance over at the time on my phone and realize it's 12:35 in the morning. I have class tomorrow and of course, I'm probably going to be late.

I set my alarm for 6 and I jump in bed.

The next morning I reach over on the right side trying to find Nathan, but instead finding myself only hugging nothing but a pillow.

I quickly sit up and nearly gasp for air. That was a strange dream. And I think that's the first time I ever dreamt about that.

About him, like that.

I get up and see that it's 8:30 in the morning.

Fuck.

I rush to the bathroom brushing my teeth and rinsed as I combed my hair. I run to my closet and pull out jeans and a hoodie and slip on my converse as I grab my purse and run down the stairs.

I nearly snap my neck as I trip down the last few steps, only to find my mother sipping on her coffee.

"Madison what's going on??" She asks while looking at my dysfunctional self.

"I'm late for school I have to go!"

I rush for the door but I'm stopped.

"Madison, your school is closed today remember? They're handing your report cards next week so the school is only open for the teachers."

I look at her in amazement.

I nearly snapped my neck for nothin.

"Sorry I guess I'm just tired."

She looks at my outfit and laughs.

"I see."

I let out a small smile and I walk back upstairs. I kick off my converse and jeans and get back in bed cuddling my pillow.

*buzz buzz*

What now.

I see a message from Nathan and immediately grab my phone and smile.

"Mornin Maddie u up for a call ya"

I sit up and reply.

"Ya sure gimme a minute."

"I'll give u 30 sec so hurry up lmao."

I love him and his timings. He's so sarcastically annoying but I love him even more for that.

Exactly thirty seconds later, I hear the Skype call.

Perfect, just like him.

"Ya hello." He says.

"Ya hey Nate."

"What time is it for you, is it like quarter past or somethin."

"Ya I woke up a bit earlier."

I laugh thinkin of how ridiculous I looked getting ready.

"You had ur breakfast ya." He asks with a soft chuckle.

"No I'm not really hungry." I say.

My stomach grumbles. It was way too loud. I hope he didn't hear it.
