Memories

Susanna Martinez

I sat on my chair, doing my makeup as music played on my phone. I don't know what it was, but Liza's talk about control or whatever really had me pondering.
Ever since that fight between Sam and Felix, Sam has asked for my password. Not only to my phone though, to my social media accounts and such. I didn't really question it though, he was my boyfriend after all. I should trust him with this kind of stuff.

Whatever, im probably just overt thinking it. Sam isn't controlling, he's just making sure I'm not doing stuff I shouldn't be doing. Looking out for me is all.

I finished putting on my mascara and cleaned it up a little, quickly swinging my backpack across my shoulder and walking downstairs. I basically almost ran out, the bus was about to get here soon.

Sam isn't controlling.

                                          ~~~

I walked down the halls, my hand in Sam's. He was walking me to my fifth period and we talked about nonsense and joked around. I don't know if it was always like this when you're in a relationship, but I could feel so many eyes on us. I tried ignoring the feeling but I couldn't help but try to figure out why I felt like that.

I took a quick glance behind us and could see Felix. I should've known, what could he possibly want now? Well, he wasn't looking at me specifically.. More so at Sam.

Jealous asshole, can't keep his eyes off the guy who whooped his ass.

Whatever. It's not like they'll fight again, if they do I might have to call the cops on Felix.

I looked at Sam, realizing he was on his phone. I took glance at it, realizing he was.. on my Instagram account?

I took another quick peak, realizing he was reading my messages between me and my friends. I looked back down at the floor, feeling a slight lump in my throat. It wasn't that serious, he's my boyfriend. Why do I feel so uncomfortable?

Luckily, we made it to my fifth period before my hands started getting sweaty.

"See you later." I said to him, giving him a small peck on the cheek.

"See you, honey." He replied, giving me a small wave.

I let out a small giggle, slightly cringing at the pet name but ignored it as I walked into class. I still couldn't get the thought of him reading all my messages and basically invading my privacy out of my head though.

I sat at my seat, laying my cheek on the palm of my hand. He wasn't invading my privacy— just checking what I do, right? Nothings wrong with that. I should probably bring this up to him, I just hope he doesn't get angry or something.

I basically jumped when I felt a vibration through my pocket, slipping out my phone and checking it.

"Who is this?" A message from Samuel read with a screenshot of an Instagram profile— more specifically my cousin??? Well shit.

I sat in my car, the cold air conditioner hitting my face as I watched Sam's car, parked right in front of me.

As soon as I saw Samuel and Susanna walking out school and to his car I pulled out my phone, texting the unknown contact.

'1 hour.' I sent, looking back up.

Just by the look on Samuel's face as I looked back at him, I knew all of this would finally end.
