monday morning
chris's bed

i woke up in one of chris's over-sized t-shirts . though he wasn't laying with me . he probably slept on the couch or something .

throwing the comforter over me , i noticed how nice his room was . it was so picked up . last night , his room was a pigsty . there were clothes on his floor and nail polish in front of his mirror . i slipped on my socks and went out to the kitchen .

matt was sitting at the kitchen island drinking tea and eating mcdonalds hot cakes . chris was sitting on the couch , watching tv , while drinking his tea . he was watching " s.w.a.t." on netflix . asiya was sitting next to matt scrolling through instagram .

" omg matt look at this !" she then noticed me in the corner of her eye . " and good morning taylor !" chris heard asiya greeting me and got up from the couch to walk over to me . " good morning . how well did you sleep ?" he asked . " i slept well . but do you mind if i take a shower here ?"

i noticed his nails as he grabbed my hand and dragged me upstairs to the bathroom . " here's the bathroom and towels should be in the closet to your left ." i grabbed a towel then told him , " i like your nails . i wonder who did them ?" i gave him a warm smile . " thanks . i like yours too ." he blushed .

i shut the door and took my clothes off . i texted asiya to see if she had any spare clothes . thankfully , she had some jean shorts . i set my phone down on the counter and got in the shower .

" taylor ? i have your shorts !" that wasn't asiya's voice . it was chris's . i wrapped a towel around me and cracked the door . " thanks ." i felt all of the steam rolling out of the bathroom as we made eye contact . i grabbed the shorts and shut the door .

" wait ! before you go , can i have one of your shirts to wear ?" he ran downstairs, took a little bit , then ran back up . " here's these . i don't know if it'll fit , but here !" i grabbed the shirt and quickly put it on . i put on my socks , then my shoes and went downstairs .

" hey chris , where's matt and asiya ?" he gave me a look . " i'll give you one guess ." once chris told me that , i knew exactly where they were . " of course they are ."

art class

today in art , we had to draw our table partner . i sat next to nick today because why not . and i'm glad to have the drawing skills that i have .

" what kind of nose would you say you have ?" just looking at it , i could make out a straight nose , but i wasn't sure . " it's a straight nose . what type of body do you have ?" i knew it . " i have an hourglass , i think . i'm not quite sure ." i then proceeded to stand up so that nick could see . " yeah , i would say hourglass ." i then sat back down and began to sketch .

stroke after stroke i made his head shape , face features , then his neck , and his body shape . i forgot to do the hair , which is the most stressful part . getting the exact strands suck .

" nick , can look at your hair ?" he turned his head and let me visualize . " ok . thanks ." i started to stroke the paper with my pencil . every strand was so hard to perfect . i mean , i guess it's okay if it's not perfect , but still .

after class i meet up with asiya at her locker . when i got there she was reapplying her lip gloss . " finally , your here !" she said . i didn't know that there was a specific time i had to be there . " yes , i'm here . love the lana pictures !" she had tons of pictures of lana del rey , which i respect . and her books were so organized , i was obsessed . " thank you !" she happily said .

a few minutes of chatting later , matt showed up . " good morning , asiya !" he then kissed her . " good morning to you too , matt !" i don't think they noticed me standing there . " good morning matt ." he looked past asiya and finally saw me . even though he could've seen me standing here while he was walking over . " hi taylor ."
