Don't Tell Em

The First Day

A/N: Bare with me when it comes to times skips. Once I set the story up, I won't do it as often. But anyway, on with the story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    I clutched my chest in attempt to calm my rapidly beating heart. Why am I breathing so heavily? And why am I on the floor? Upon trying to get up, I felt a sharp pain in my hip. Ouch. Ok, what is going on? As I was trying to get a handle on reality, I realized that Cypher pt. 3 was blasting through the speakers on my phone. I had fallen out of bed due to my alarm. I rolled my eyes as I walked over to turn it off. I love the song, I just don't love it as an alarm. It's like having a heart attack each morning.
But what time is it? I clicked a button and the screen on my phone lit up again. 5:30 on August 17. Ugh, its the first day of school. Oh Summer, my beloved, what have I done for you to abandon me this way?

     As I was grieving my loss of summer, I felt my phone vibrate indicating that I had just gotten a text.

Good morning, Aaliyah. I just wanted to wish you luck on your first day back. Maybe we can facetime later and you can tell me all about it. Have a good day. :)

    Well that put me in a better mood about going to school. He is so sweet. My lips curved into a smile as I thought about him and the conversations that we have had over the past few weeks. And as I got more comfortable, we began talking over Skype. He is definitely someone I look forward to talking to each and every night. My thoughts were interrupted by my phone buzzing again.

Nickname coming soon. I just don't want to use the ones that everybody else uses xD

     I chuckled at that one. He's been trying to think of ones since last week and I have heard some very interesting ones. My fingers tapped the screen before I sent a reply.

Lol I look forward to hearing what you come up with. Thank you for my good morning message but I should probably get ready so I won't be late. I'll talk to you later.

I look forward to it. And this is gonna sound creepy but can I have a picture of you? I'm not going to do anything weird with it, I promise.

     I looked at my phone in confusion. That's a strange request. What could he want with a picture of me?

Um ok. I'll take one before I leave this morning.

Great. Thanks by the way.

No problem.

     All question aside, I still had to get ready. Well its the first day of school, so I guess I should look at least halfway decent. I walked over to my closet to lay out the clothes that I plan to wear today. I then walked back over to my phone to put on music before going to the bathroom to shower,wash my face, and brush my teeth. I then went to my room to get dressed.
I put on my clothes before checking the time. 6:00. Ok so I have about 20 minutes left to do my hair and makeup before I have to drive to school.

     I looked in the mirror at the mess of curls on top of my head. There is no way I'm going to be able to straighten it all and make it to school on time. That's just not possible. A little detangling couldn't hurt though. I grabbed my bottle of detangler and my brush and went to work.
Well that took over half of my 20 remaining minutes. Now for my make up. My skin's pretty clear right now so I don't think I need concealer or foundation. Maybe I'll just do eye makeup and lipgloss and call it a day.
I put on some eye-shadow and started my eyeliner. And my wings turned out perfect! The first try too! Today's going to be a good day.

     I checked my appearance one more time before I grabbed my phone to take a selfie. After about 5 minutes of failed attempts, I finally got one that was good enough to send. I sent it to him and deleted all the rest.
