Not Just a Rebound

•Back To School

** Tuesday  September 8th

Ever since me and Dom had that talk he's been distant and even though I know why it still makes me feel uneasy. But I went back home which was not even by choice actually. Ace literally had to come and make me come home. At least it was a few days later so I cooled off.

Now it's September and day 1 of my senior year.

**

I lifted my legs up on the seat while I waited for the rest of the auditorium to quiet down and the senior assembly to begin. In all honesty I'd much rather be in class where I'd have something to do instead of listening to these people talk about their expectations for the senior class. The first day is usually light anyway.

Soon the assembly began but I was texting Dom so I wasn't listening. His classes don't start for another week so he has nothing to do but send me random pictures and texts.

I took a selfie and sent it to him in return for the one I recieved. He responded two seconds later with a bunch of heart eye emojis. He's so cute.

While I waited for him to reply I tried to pay attention. They were talking about senior days and things like that but by now it was almost lunchtime so I was more focused on that. Dom sent me a picture of him holding a bag of Wendy's

Dom-  got you something
- This is why I love you
Dom- love you too. I'll meet you in the parking lot
-Okay

10 minutes later the assembly was finally over and everyone started making their way out to class or lunch. I made my way through the people and out into the hall where I bumped into T and Ace. I looked at them then continued to my destination. Yes I was still kind of upset, all they had to do is say one thing which they didn't. I finally got to Dom's car and got in the back where he was already waiting.

He handed me the bag. "So what's up?"

"I'm tired and I need a nap" I started eating my nuggets.

"Didn't you sleep last night?"

"No. T likes sleeping with the tv on plus she kept tossing and turning an it was hard to stay sleeping"

My phone vibrated. "Speaking of her"

"So you two are talking again?"

I shook my head. "Dad is still strict on his female and male rooming policy"

"And the text?"

I read it out loud. "Since you weren't paying attention to the assembly:
•Spirit days are scattered throughout the year. First day being the homecoming game
•Homecoming dance
•celebrity day in November and etc." I didn't bother to read the rest.

"That's nice of her"

"Yea" I locked my phone and threw it on the seat next to me.

"You should talk to her. This is probably killing her"

"Mhm. I will"

"Ahja"

"Dominic. I will talk to her"

"I'll have to see it to believe it"
