It's Complicated

Hair Cuts (2)

Jeynuh's POV:

The next morning was like the last. I got up after the alarm this time and proceeded with my usual routine. My outfit was casual and the same makeup as yesterday. I ran downstairs and decided to skip breakfast since lunch would be in three hours anyway. I hopped in my white BMW and headed towards Angie's house. Since I skipped breakfast, I had a little more time to hang out so I walked in Angie's house, greeted her mom, and walked up to her room. 

"...ANGIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" I scream as I busted in the door. She turned around and screamed as she threw a sock at me. "DUDE HURRY UPPPPPPP!"

"I WOULD IF I COULD! JEEZ! I don't know what to wear today though." Angie's says with a sigh of frustration.

I walked over to her closet and picked out a gray tee and some medium washed jeans. She took both, and went to the corner and I turned away. We've been friends for the longest time so we didn't care as long as the other didn't look. Anyway, she was finally done and I told her to cuff her jeans and tuck in the shirt and it looked very casual and laid back. We headed out and got in the car. The same routine as yesterday happened and the day was easy as pie.

When I got home, I threw my bag to the side and just completely crashed on my bed. I ended up knocking out for a good half hour before I was disturbed by endless texts going off on my phone. I open my eyes and look over at my phone. After moments of debating whether or not I should check it, I sat up and grabbed my phone. 

Braden: Dang flabbit Jeynuh

Braden: I'm having a serious dilemma right now

I just sat there thinking to myself before typing anything back. First, why did he decide to text me out of the blue. Second, I'm quite interested in hearing this 'dilemma.'

Jeynuh: Yes hello what's up

Jeynuh: Sorry I was napping until I heard your texts

...

Braden's POV

Why hasn't she replied yet. I'm in an actual crisis right now... I GOT A FUCKING HAIR CUT AND I DON'T LIKE IT.

*moments later*

I sat at my desk playing games on my phone when I get two notifications.

Jeynuh: Yes hello what's up

Jeynuh: Sorry I was napping until I heard your texts

Shit. I didn't mean to wake her up.

Braden: Oh sorry sorry I didn't mean to bother

Braden: You can go back to sleep if you want to

Jeynuh: No it's okay I had to get up at sometime

I let go of the breath I had no idea I was holding until now.

Jeynuh: Anyway, what's wrong

Braden: Well, I got a hair cut and I just asked for a trim, but the freaking lady cut it a little shorter so now my hair is like SUPER short

There was a slight pause before she texted me back.

Jeynuh: Uhh I'm sure you're just exaggerating LOL

Braden: Dude it's like hella short T-T

Jeynuh: Well, I can't help ya there, but I guess you should just start gelling your hair up again

Jeynuh: It looks a lot better gelled

A small smile creeps onto my face when she replies with that.

Braden: Imig, but don't be surprised when I show up at school with my hoodie on the whole day.

I laugh to myself and reply back. Our conversation goes on for hours and hours while we both do our homework. The conversation ended around 2am when I knock out without saying goodnight or bye.

*the next day*

This day goes like the rest and I don't want to bore you with the details. However....

So I have about four periods with Braden and we have homeroom together. In homeroom, I get up from my seat to walk over to the computers to print out my work. Coincidentally, Braden's seat is in front of the table where printing sign ups are. When I make my way to the sign up sheet to write my name, I look up from the paper and our eyes meet. I look at his hair which WASN'T hidden in his hood and I just gave him a small smile and mouthed the word "Noice." He chuckled and looked back down at his work.

When I got home, I try finishing all of my homework in no time so that I could relax for the rest of the night. 

**9PM**

As if on cue, Braden texts me just as I finish up my homework. When I open the chat, I found that he realized I had knocked out yesterday night and he said...

Braden: Aaaaand you fell asleep

Braden: Goodnight Jeynuh

Braden: Sleep well

I smile at this and I couldn't help it. I texted him back apologizing for sleeping on him as we were texting. Tonights conversation consisted of the Question Game  and a lot of joking around. One of my favorite parts was when we gave each other nick names. I named him Rebel and he calls me Shortie.

*****

Three weeks go by and all three weeks consisted of my usual boring day and texting Braden. Within the span of three weeks, we have grown close again and you probably can imagine what happened next. Yup you guessed it, I developed feelings for him again. When I say again, I literally mean AGAIN. Back in sophomore year when I first met him, we became friends after a few weeks into the year. We both had English together, but we sat at different tables. The two of us used to tease each other and call each other short. Of course, he was a few inches taller than me, but I used to stand on my tippy toes and laugh at him. I guess you can say that I developed feelings for him back then and it lasted about a month before we stopped talking. We used to talk endlessly on FaceBook and when I look back on it, I feel so completely stupid.

Then it happened, on first day of our summer break...

TBC...

A/N: HEEEEY sorry for leaving it on a cliffhanger, but I really need to finish reading the last three chapters of my book so I'll pick the story up tomorrow!!!! :) XOXO
