I was worried about telling Ray so much about my issues. I was worried he'd think I was weird, or that I wasn't good enough for him. And yet, I still hear him telling me that my feelings weren't stupid. Urrgh. My brain is weird.

Anyway, today was Friday, so if I get through this I get a two day break. Then I can see Ray every minute. When I finished getting ready, I walked out of the house to Ray waiting for me. He was holding a package, fidgeting with the edges.

"Oh, hi Ray!" I smiled at him.

He smiled back, "I, um, got you something. It's about what we talked about yesterday."

My mind fell into a panic. About the noise thing?? What if it's some kind of prank?  What if- but look at the way he's smiling...

I took a breath, took the box from him, and opened it. I pulled out a pair of headphones. 

"They're noise-cancelling," Ray explained. "I thought you could wear them if it gets too lou-"

I cut him off by aggressively hugging him. "Thank you."

I let him go and he grinned, "You like them?"

"And you."

We walked the rest of the way to school, and at the door I saluted Ray and put on my headphones. All the noises were gone. Whoa. I walked to class in peace. The downside was that I head nothing so I bumped into people, but it was worth it. That day was one of the best I'd had in awhile. That is, until my good streak ended.

I was walking to my next class, the halls relatively empty, when my headphones were perked off of me.

"Ah, what's this? Crybaby can't handle a little noise."

"Fuck off, Keith. You know how this goes."

Keith smirked menacingly, "Oh sure. But I'll be taking these."

"No!" I tried to grab for the headphones, but I was short and he was tall, so he easily kept them out of reach.

Finally, I grabbed them, and he let them slip from his grasp. I don't understand some people. I huffed and walked away. I was late to history and mumbled something about getting lost. I wished I had history with Ray.
