You're In My Head

Mysterious boy

August 15, 2023  first day of school, I crept up the stone stairs of Evergreen high school my first day as a junior, as reached the top of the steps I looked around at all of the students gathered at the entrance as usual all of them were in the own little groups, there own little clique  like every high school there were four main cliques the nerds, the popular kids (they run the school), the jocks, and last but not least the delinquents my older brother happens to be a part of that group. I was starring in the direction of the delinquents scanning the crowd for my brother, when suddenly my attention was snatched by this mysterious boy on a skate board approaching the school he was tall with wavy dirty blonde hair I looked him up in down as he was approaching the gate, but oddly I was unable to see his face. He was wearing a black hoodie with ripped Beige cargo pants, he had an old faded backpack on with earbuds in He seemed kinda cute being mysterious and all. I had my eyes fixated on this cute distant boy but to my surprise I woke up in my bed with my alarm blaring one of my songs from my playlist, stretching I silenced my alarm and stepped on my freezing cold floor, ignoring the feeling of pins and needles in my feet I cautiously walked into my closet trying not to fall or trip seeing as how I'm still half asleep. I slipped on my tan Nike sweater with my faded blue jeans I turned around and studied myself in the mirror I knew I should've put makeup on or I should've done my hair but my motivation seemed to be disappearing like a memory from my childhood I tried not to worry about my lack of preparation for school though. "Angelina wake up school is in 15 minutes hurry!" My mom shouted up the stairs. I headed down the stairs while the smell of burnt toast filled my nose I sat on the edge of the last stair lacing up my dirty old black Converse and putting on my headphones "Ethan hurry up we're almost late, oh and bye Mom love you" I shouted practically running out the door I Danced down the steps of my front porch which belonged to an old gray and blue house on the south side the paint was chipping of the siding and the grass was dead but it was still home. I was looking at my door waiting for my idiot brother to come out, suddenly I hear a voice behind me "hey you excited for today John Jacob's got a buzz cut it looks so bad come on let's go" I turned around fast coming face to face with Julie my best friend sense 3rd grade we met during a project the teacher made us do "hey, can I borrow the purple" I asked "no get your own weirdo" Julie insisted "wanna share my sandwich, it's peanut butter and Jelly?" I asked "sure why not" she replied Julie wasn't always the best at being nice but from that day on we were inseparable. "hey, EARTH TO ANGELINA?!?!"  she shouted "what?" I replied confused "let's hustle we're gonna be late"  she proclaimed, she grabbed the sleeve of my sweeter and pulled me as she walked, as we were approaching the entrance of the school I peered over my shoulder looking for my older brother to my surprise he was not behind us which he usually is considering his tiny crush for Julie. Walking up the stairs close to the doors was the nerve-racking part same town, the new school the school wasn't just new to me I could smell the new paint the grass was lush and Green. The floors were beautiful and yet everyone just kept blabbing to their friends like it was nothing I guess that's what happens when you're a loner you listen and watch you don't react i guess I'm just an observer but my train of thought was short-lived as I was snapped back into reality by this mysterious figure approaching the gates of the school on a skateboard his hair was wavy it swept over his face slightly covering his eyes, he was wearing a black hoodie with beige cargo pants his faded green backpack strapped to his back looked familiar but I couldn't quite place it as he passed through the gates he became more and more familiar how tall he was, his body type, his outfit, his backpack even his skate board made it seemed like I knew him, but then as I was thinking he glanced at me it was Mason!!! a kid my brother has been friends with since last year he's been over to our house a total of two times and both times he never saw me... but the fact that I think he's cute and he's my brother's friend makes it weird especially when your brothers a senior I watched him walk over to the delinquents and do a stupid little handshake with my brother god his smile is so perfect and his eyes are beautiful to wait what am I saying he's older than me and he's my brother's friend he's, forbidden.

The next day was hectic the whole night I couldn't sleep I tried my hardest to keep him out of my mind music, white noise, warm blankets, even melatonin nothing worked I couldn't sleep and what made it worse was it was because of him. I stood on the porch with Julie like always waiting for my stupid older brother to walk out so we could leave "hey what's going on with you?" Julie asked with this concerned look on her face she did, I recognized that face she only made that face when she knows something is wrong and she knows it, it happened four years ago when my dad left "Get hell out of my house, you psycho bastard!" "Your nothing with out me heather!!!" My dad screamed I heard a crash and another one and another then it was quiet and after a few minutes I heard the door slam and I watched someone who was a father to me, my best friend, someone who took me dancing and taught me how to hunt and fish, my dad I watched my dad get in his car and leave me and this family... that day, I just wanted the pain to stop I took the blade from a sharpener and drug it across my wrists when Julie found out she cried and begged me to never do it again but it was such a relief the pain seemed to fall away like leaves falling from a tree in October it was just gone and from that moment on my self harm never stopped. "Angelina, did you hear me are you ok?" " huh what yes I'm fine" I replied she gave me another look, that look said I know your lying we're talking about this later *slam!* We both turned our heads "what?" My brother said as he walked through us, we followed babbling on about nonsense. Once we reached the gates of the school my eyes immediately looked around for him my eyes fixated on my brother hoping my stupid brother would find him for me but luck wasn't found the bell rung and as a response, Julie grabbed my sleeve and drug me to our first period I almost cried this boy was driving me crazy and he has the audacity to not be here it's crazy because I miss him but we haven't even properly met each other. I slowly sat down at my desk not being able to focus on anything but the thought of him all of the noise around me seemed to fade until, he walked in. "Attention students this is Mason Bradbury he will be joining this class for the rest of the year" the teacher announced my heart skipped a beat, and my eyes fixed on him I couldn't breathe I was all tongue-tied if you asked me to speak at that moment I couldn't my hands were all sweaty I could feel myself blush as he walked past me and sat behind me, I couldn't fathom it he was so close to me I could smell his Cologne it was a warm scent but I couldn't quite place it. The rest of the day droned on until after class in sixth  period I was walking down the hall with my books tight to my chest my arms wrapped around them praying to not drop them in front of everyone but I felt a sense of relief as I reached my locker I slipped my books back in place trying to keep my locker clean my life was a mess but at least I could keep my things clean.. "hey" I heard a voice behind me say I turned my head slightly Seeing dirty blonde hair sent me into shock realizing who this anonymous person was or who this person could be was nerve-racking I spun around as fast I as could there he was Mason standing there in front of me "hey I saw you staring at me in the first period" he said "Oh yea sorry I just liked your outfit" I replied his gentle blue eyes were looking into mine glancing at my lips occasionally his luscious blonde hair sweeping across his forehead the ends slightly covering his beautiful eyes his cheeks fairly burnt over his freckles "anyways the whole reason I'm here is I'm throwing a party, a back to school party and I'm trying to invite as many people as I can so I was wondering if you would come?" He said smirking seeing it up close was a dream come true the boy from my dream and my brothers best friend asking me to hangout with him and other people with a smile on his face! Oh my gosh " Yes I would love to come to your party" I replied softly with a grin on my face I was sorta blushing too but he seemed not to notice "Cool"  he replied, just cool I don't understand why this frustrated me so much it feels like I failed at some Olympic event he walked away like nothing I didn't even get the addressbut my thought were interrupted by Julie running up to me "hey did you hear about mason's party?" She asked "yes he just invited me actually but I don't know the address" I replied " I'll find out alright don't worry about it I got you girl" Julie excitedly says "yay thank you" "your welcome" she replied with a smile "hey i noticed that you've been seeming off lately what's going on?" Julie asked me with a faded smile "I-I uh- I have a small crush on someone I just can't get him out of my head I was up all night last night thinking about him and..." "Wait who is it?" She interrupted "we're um going to his p-pa-party" I stuttered "WAIT WHAT?"
