What A Life

Landon

*Ny'kayla*
I slightly opened my eyes when I felt myself being pulled tighter in someone's embrace. I couldn't catch a glimpse of the face because their face was covered with the blanket I brought down for myself. I didn't remember exactly who it was but whoever it was it felt good. Just think of someone holding you tight making sure you never slip away...that's how I felt until I remembered I still know nothing about this unknown figure. I finally tried to turn around the face the person and knowingly I struggled but I was finally successful in seeing who it was. I then had to use the bathroom so I had to wake him up do I could get up. I picked up my phone off of the coffee table and speedily walked to the bathroom. While in the bathroom I looked at my phone to where I the time read 11:38 and I had 2 missed calls and 1 text message from my mom letting me know she won't be home until tomorrow around noon. I paid it no attention know that she does work doubles and sometimes doesn't come home for days in the row. Once I finished in the bathroom I went back into the living room where I saw the heavenly individual. I walked closer to the coffee table to get the dishes and put them in the kitchen. When I went back into the living room I didn't see him until I walked upstairs and he was walking out of the bathroom. He followed me into my room and I said "I never got your name, or anything for that matter" I said
"Yea, I know I had planned to come over and do that but the way things were set up it didn't happen."
"Well because it's almost midnight we can do that tomorrow or something" I said
"Yea you right, well here's my number, text me in the morning" he said
"Goodnight" I said
"Sweet Dreams Cutie" he replied with a grin
After he left I took a shower and went to sleep.

My intentions were to go over there, introduce myself and get to know her. But clearly that didn't happen I had saw her when they moved in about a month ago but I didn't know how I would approach her. I'm not your typical 18-year-old, school and making my moms proud is my number one priority. I'm sure you all are like wth who just goes to someone's house and chill like they've known them their whole life and fall asleep but I was tired AF because I didn't get any sleep at all. But back to the beauty, just looking at her I can tell that she's not like any other, she stays to herself at all times, the only time she talks is when she talks to the teacher privately and that's about it. I was surprised today went like that like honestly, when she first opened the door she looked confused and then her face softened for some reason when she saw me. My thoughts were interrupted when I had to remember where I last put the spare key outside of the house because I think I left my keys in my gym shorts before I left out. When I got in the house I hopped in the shower and couldn't help but think about today. It was different, she was different. She is the type to shut everyone out because she doesn't want to be judged and its crazy how I know this and we barely talked, don't think I'm a stalker just know that I am very observant and not only that but I that "type" of person was me. Yea I was that child that wanted it all because I had what felt like nothing, bullied until I learned my strength, and unwanted until I stopped showing interest. I wasn't always the pretty boy everyone wanted that came around sophomore year when I played hella sports and still managed to be in AP classes and during my junior year, when I got all the fame an wasn't considered the "nerd" or "Mr. Unwanted" I realized it wasn't what they thought of you it's what you are striving for and see in yourself.
I laid down with my towel wrapped around my waist following my shower just thinking. Not about anything particular but about everything. Senior year will be over in less than 8 months, I might have luck with you know who, I've submitted all of my college applications, I start driving school tomorrow. Wow life is really good.
As soon as I started to drift off to sleep my phone buzzed with an unknown number
Hey you still up -unknown
Yes, who is this?
The person started typing but then stopped and called me instead.
"Hello?" I said uncertain
"Hey I know it's getting late but I just couldn't sleep without knowing that you got home safely. " the female said
"Yea I was half sleep until you texted me though it's not a issue, being that this is the most words we have exchanged since you moved here"
" Yea well we could've said a lot earlier but you went to sleep because I could finish a sentence."
"Lol sorry about that Cutie. It's just I haven't been getting much sleep lately" I said yawning uncontrollably. "Well it sounds like you are still tired now and let's stop with the pet names, goodnight stranger. "
"Sincere apologies Ny'kayla, and it's Landon by the way Goodnight. " and with that she giggled and hung up causing me to smile for whatever reason.

I don't know what has happened within these last few hours. I guess it started this morning when he picked up my books and then after school he came over. Which I still don't know why I was so comfortable, like really I'm so used to shutting everyone out and never trusting anyone to allowing a random boy I go to school with into my house and sleeping there without exchanging any words. I went from being tired to now wide awake thinking about this mysterious day. It is now 2 in the morning and I'm tossing and turning because I can't go to sleep thanks to Mr. Landon lol his name is cute, his eyes are amazing, and his smile...............

At exactly 6:15 my alarm blared from across my room which caused me to put my pillow over my head. After about 30 second of no success I dragged myself out of the bed to turn it off and start my day. I got in the shower for about 20 minutes then began to brush my now wet hair then did everything else required to be presentable. Knowing I had to be out of here by at least 6:55 to not miss the bus I need to hurry and get dressed and grab a bite to eat before then. I decided on my khaki joggers, red vans and my red and green plaid shirt.

Who in the world just wakes up smiling? Especially at 6:30 in the morning, I usually dread getting up but today was different. I'm not gonna question it I just hope today continues this way. Once I brushed my teeth and everything I went over to my dresser and got out my red and black plaid shirt, my red toms, and my khaki joggers. It took me probably about 15 minutes' tops to get dressed tie my hair back go to the kitchen to grab something quick. I decided on two breakfast sandwiches, 2 Gatorade and some fruit snacks and was out the door by 6:50. I got to the bus stop and greeted everyone like I normally did but they looked at my crazy which made me question why. Ny'Kayla came out her door and started walking toward the bench where she always sat to wait for the bus. I zoned out for a sec and all my focus was on her, we made eye contact and let me tell you that was the first time I had ever seen her smile even though she tried her best to hide it. The bus came minutes later and we all got on and of course it was loud as hell. We got to school in about 10 minutes and instead of letting Ny'kayla walk alone to class I wanted to get to know her as much as I could.
