Chapter 3: I'm Hugging Him, He's Not Sleeping

Oh my fucking god... I was cold, and my jacket wasn't helping, so I... I hugged him, I hugged Rio close and gently and it was so fucking annoying that my heart ached and skipped a beat. Terrible. I'm blushing because now I'm warm... He was asleep so it wasn't a problem... Until he turned to hug me.

We've known each other since childhood, and one thing I know is that he breaths evenly when he sleeps... He talks in his sleep a lot sometimes, but the rise and fall of his chest remain the same, 3-second exhale and inhale... Hey, I was bored at a sleepover, okay? My phone was dead. That's the only reason I know. His breathing... He wasn't asleep, but he chose to hug me... It's just because I'm warm, that's all. But... It's nice, his warm, kinda cuddly hug's- Okay, what the hell am I saying?! I'm only not pushing him because I'm fucking cold...

A few minutes passed, and he spoke softly. "Selena..." Rio mutters and pulls me closer. His breathing isn't changing... He's asleep! Why in the ever-living fuck is he calling my name?! What is he dreaming about..? I hold him a little bit closer. Just the slightest, and then I realize this is so fucking dumb... I wake him up via shaking him.
"Rio... Get up... It's about to be after school, it's about time you get up." By the time I finish speaking, he's awake.
"Selena... Why're you still here?"
"I get to skip, duh."
"Oh, uh, yeah. Right. Okay..."

He sounds suspicious, I don't trust him... "What were you dreaming about?" He flushes a deep red and looks away, his arm clinging onto my neck more as he twists his body to be faced more toward me.
"What? I- Why do you ask..?" Ah, so he was dreaming of something embarrassing... Of... Me...
"You said my name when you were sleeping."

"Ah, no, I- I know other Selenas... I was dreaming about a different... Thing..." Another... Selena? I'm the only Selena, why the fuck-? No, I don't like that logic... What the fuck?!
"What other Selenas do you know?!"
"I-I-"
"No... I should be the only one..."
"Why should I only know you?"
"Because... Anyway, let's go now."
"Sure..."

We part ways. I'll see him tomorrow. It's annoying how I'm thinking I'll see him... Whatever. Fuck.

I'm laying down in my bed, have been after I got home... I'm thinking about him... Fuck, I don't know why, don't ask me... He's so annoying. Cute emo- Emo ass, that's all I meant, all I said. Nothing else... Mhm. I'm sleepy...

I wake up to the sound of my alarm. Eugh... I get ready for school and shit, and I head out the house. I don't live far from the school, so I walk there for about 12 minutes, then I walk in and look for him. Grab him after greeting and requesting for him... "Good morning, Selena..."
"Morning, Rio..." I need to channel my anger out on someone... Not him. Wait- Why not him? Ain't I his damn bully? Wait a goddamn minute, have I really gone soft? What-fucking-ever. "Y'know any other softies like you that won't tell if they're bullied?"

"Fuck no- Uhm- Just- No." Why in the fuck did he just say fuck?! I've never heard him cuss before... "In the years I've known you... When in the hell did you start to cuss?"
"Never, just now... I felt like it." Felt like it? What the-
"Who the FUCK are you?!" A random ass dude barges in. He's a brunette-mulleted dude with a lean build. Rio looks stronger than this guy...

"Nah, who are you?!" I snap back, death-glaring the random, hot-headed but not hot-looking, basic-styled freak.
"Mory, Rio's friend." Who the fuck..?
"Yo, Rio, who the fuck is this?"
"Mory... We haven't talked in a month because you ghosted me on everything for the second time and ignored me in the class we have together..." Then why is he here?!
"That's because I have bipolar disorder." Well, I guess that makes sense?
