*Amy's P.O.V*
I plopped down at my usual spot in the cafeteria, the familiar hum of lunchtime chatter surrounding me. The aroma of the grilled cheese wafted up from my tray, and I couldn't help but smile. There's something so comforting about a perfectly roasted sandwich, with its gooey, melted cheese oozing out from between the crispy slices of bread. I took a bite, savoring the warmth and flavor, while I fumbled with my phone to find just the right song.
As I scrolled through my playlist, I landed on some Taylor Swift. Her voice filled my ears, and I felt a wave of calm wash over me. It was like she was singing directly to me, her lyrics resonating with my thoughts and feelings. I watched the bustling cafeteria scene unfold around me, but it all seemed distant, like I was in my own little bubble. The combination of Taylor's music and my delicious grilled cheese made this moment feel almost magical.
Lost in the music, I found myself swaying slightly to the rhythm, my mind drifting along with the melodies. Each song seemed to bring back memories of different times in my life, and I couldn't help but reflect on how much I've grown. The cafeteria, once a place of chaos and noise, now felt like a sanctuary where I could escape, even if just for a little while. As I finished my sandwich, I felt a sense of contentment, knowing that sometimes, it's the simple pleasures that bring the most joy.
And it wasn't until a few minutes later where I was joined by some company. I looked up to see Eli sitting in front of me with his own tray of cafeteria food.
I took out my earphones and looked at him.
"You look like you're in a good mood." He smiled.
"I was just listening to some Taylor Swift."
"I always knew you were a Swiftie at heart." He teased me.
"And a proud one."
Eli took a bite out of his own grilled cheese sandwich before saying, "Your fight with Tory is literally tomorrow. How are you feeling?"
"I'm ready for it." I said. "Ever since I found out that I would be facing her again, I've been training hard."
"But not too hard, right?"
I was taken back by what he said. "I trained like how I always would. There's no difference."
"Are you sure? Because it seems like you're going overboard. Sam has been talking to me about how things have been lately."
"Everything is fine." I assured him.
Even though, my voice sounded shaky after I said that. It's like I didn't believe the words that came out of my mouth. Is everything fine? I'm starting to think that maybe I have been overdoing training and something is on my mind constantly. But I haven't shared it with anyone because I'm not sure if it's real or not. I don't want to believe it. I just don't know anything for sure.
Eli instantly saw something switch in me just now. "Amy, what's wrong?"
"I.. I don't know." I said with an unsure expression.
"Well, what is it?"
"Don't worry about it."
"I'll worry about it because you're my girlfriend."
I can't talk about it. At least not right now when I'm not sure myself. I need to put my focus into my fight with Tory tomorrow and then we'll figure something out. I just need to get through this fight and make sure that I'm the female team captain for the Sekai Taikai.
"I haven't been getting enough sleep lately." I said and it made me feel bad because I haven't been having trouble sleeping. Things have been fine in that department but I can't necessarily tell him what's on my mind. I'm not ready.
