Mind Games

Chapter 4 (Monicas POV)

-In The Morning-

My eyes closed and my breath soft against the pillow. My soft pink lips were parted, a little bit of my hair ended up near my mouth. I moan lightly as I stretch under the sheets, I yawn quietly and slowly open my eyes. As I get up I rub the sleepiness from my eyes.

I dragged myself out of bed only wearing an oversized shirt along with a small smile. I go into the closet and pull a pair of jeans on, they were a little loose so I decided to tuck my t-shirt in. I comb my long hair with my fingers as I walk to the kitchen, when I reach the kitchen I wash my hands and get ready to make breakfast for mom and I.

The smell of bacon and eggs filled the house. I had started the coffee, waiting for the pot to fill I started making the pancakes. I smiled when I noticed my third pancake looked kind of like a heart. I wonder if Tim would want it. Mom stepped down the stairs sleepily, she was wrapped in a robe her hair in a knot on top of her head. She kissed my cheek to say good morning as I flipped over a pancake helping herself to the now filled coffee pot.

After eating I went upstairs and changed my shirt since I got flour all over it. I changed into a sweater since mom had warned it would be cold out today. I rolled up my jeans so I wouldn't step on the ends, I finished the outfit off with my black and white converse. I pull my hair into a sloppy bun, my smile growing while the butterflies rised to my stomach. I would be seeing Tim soon.. And our date was one day closer.
"I'll drive you to school." Mom said at the door making me jump and knock a few books off my end table.
"Thanks mommy." I say and laugh. Her eyes squint at me as I try to hide my smile.
"You're hiding something."
"N-no I'm not!" I lie, I am the worst liar in the whole entire universe. "LETS GO MOM!" I shout suddenly running out of my room before she could start guessing what's up with me.

I look out of the window on the ride to school. Suddenly stopping I looked around and there he was, Tim. Mom yelled at him and his sister to get in, this made my face red with embarrassment, I chewed my lip and suddenly felt self conscious. Do I look okay? I don't smell do I? Oh god, please tell me I don't smell. They slide into the car, Tim's sister sitting next to me and Tim sitting beside her. Man how I craved for his touch.. His lips. I blush and look out the window to hide my obvious blush.
"Thank you Mrs. Hernandez," Says Tim's sister, "No problem sweetie, I wasn't going to let you two walk in the cold," my mom replied with her warm welcoming voice. She turned her attention to Tim, "So Timothy, how's that invention coming along? Anything interesting yet?" "No ma'am, nothing yet." He said politely, he continued "I'm still drawing some things out. And besides with all the schoolwork and testing I can barely think of what to do." My mom thought about his words for a moment before giving a smile and replying,
"Well whatever you make, I know for sure it's going to be amazing." I turn and look at Tim, he hasn't noticed me the whole ride. I watch as he looks out the window, I wonder what he's thinking about now, he seems so far away.

We reached the gates of the school,
"Thanks again for the ride." Timothy says to my mom with a smile.
"No problem! I'll pick you guys up too, okay? Have fun at school!" She says with a wave before taking off. Before I could tell Tim good morning he branched off and ran for his class. I held my hands my head down and I begin to head for gym. On my way down the hall I run into my ex boyfriend, Dallas. He had cheated on me with my old friend Jannet. My eyes widen and I look up at him, he looks down at me and licks his lips giving a grin.
"Sorry." I mumble and step to walk away,
"Aw come on, don't be like that. You know, I miss you." He purred. I frown up at him and snap at him,
"I've got a boyfriend." He stood stunned and I walked around him, my hands gripping the straps of my backpack. Today was not off to a good start.

-First Class-

I strip out of my jeans and shirt. I slide into my shorts and groan when I can't find my shirt.
"Where the heck did I put it?" It was starting to get cold, luckily Reyana came over.
"Dude, it's right here." She handed it to me and gave me a worried look while I pulled the shirt over my head. I sigh and put my hair into a ponytail, ignoring her. We all headed towards the field to start practice.
