My Enigma

A new message

CH.2

5:15 pm.

"Can your aunt drive me home?," I ask Layla.

      45 minutes ago I was talking to the new guys in the Sanctuary. Fudge. I didn't get his name. If I don't get to know him first the girls will flock to him like peigons on the beach.

      Now I stand outside leaning against the pole waiting for a ride. Layla was against the pole on the right sitting in the fetal position. Her long light brown hair, that touched the end of her tail bone, was in a big messy bun at the top of her head. She has on yellow Timberlands, black jeans, and a white shirt.

"Let me call her", Layla responds.

      While Layla is on the phone with her aunt, I put in my left headphone. I play imaginary drums as the song plays. Layla taps my shoulder in the middle of my drum solo.

"My aunt said yes," she pauses to put away a stray hair,"So are we doing something this weekend?", she asks.

"My eyes expand twice the size. We should go to the fair!"

"My aunt has to get new glasses Saturday around noon. She can drop us off before she goes."

    I smile the more I think about tomorrow. Layla's aunt car pulls up. I hop in the back as Layla climbs in the front. Layla asks her aunt about the fair. Her aunt tells her the list of things she has to do before she can take us.

      Layla's aunt drops me off home and I say thanks. I walk into a empty house. My parents are probably at someone's house or at a party. Which means I'm going to be home 'til late tonight. On the weekend they like to go to themed parties. Time they went to an 80's themed party with my grandparents. I could never unsee my grandpa wearing tight bell bottoms.

     As I walk around feeling the cold marble floors on my feet I flick on the kitchen lights. I grab Hawaiian style pizza from the fridge and pop it in the microwave. I take the laptop of living room table. I play some Pandora. I dance-sing my wave to the microwave.

I can't grant you any wishes, I won't promise you the stars.

But don't ever question if my heart beats only for you,

It beats only for you.

Cause when you've given up.

When no matter what you do it's never good enough.

When you never thought that it could ever get this tough.

That's when you feel my love.

       My song stops for a second then continues. I put down my pizza and go check out why that happened. Hmm friend request. Elijah Gordon. I look at the picture it hits me. He's the guy I talked to at the Sanctuary earlier today. How did he find me? If I was paranoid I would be freaking out. I shrug it off.

6:30

      A half an hour later. Kitchen is clean. I'm curled up on the couch with a fleece blanket. While I look for a good movie to put on, I hear my laptop ding. Elijah sent me a message.

     Hey-E

     Hey. How did you find me?

The senior guy gave it to             me.-E

       Mason?

        Yeah, him.-E

     It was bizzard because Mason introduced himself to him. I'm over reacting.

OK. So what's up?

      Nothing. I'm just trying to find someone who will go the movies with me tomorrow. Hey will you go with me?-E
