"BEEP BEEP" seemed to pound in my ear as I turned my head to the loud sound. Each second I wait makes my head burn. Until I finally get enough strength to lift my body up from the bed to turn off my phone. I fall back, wiry eyes block me from seeing as I get up;hitting something in the process.

I opened my mouth wide, but forced my screams in. I then looked down at my bleeding knee, "musta hit it on my dresser" I thought. Covering it with my hand I started limping out of my room to the bathroom. I hopped in and closed the door silently, hopefully not waking my sleeping mother. With my knee still covered I watched blood pace down my leg. I grabbed a bandage from the cabinet and lifted my hand from the gash,and put it on while starting to clean up the bloody mess from both my leg and the ground.

My mother walked in the bathroom as I opened it, walking right past me and shutting it. I nodded and walked to my room with the same limp as before. I huffed and puffed over the pain, but still got ready. Wearing my usual school uniform, which consisted of a grey sweater, white button up, and dark grey shorts down to my upper knee. And because of my shorts being well...so short their is no "real" way to hide my cut besides with the bandage. But that's just the pain of getting up in the morning, I guess you could say...

I finished getting dressed and walked to the bathroom, and knocked on the door just to be polite to my mother. No one was in there, so I walked in. I fixed my hair and brushed my teeth before walking down stairs to the kitchen. I see my mother in there, she greets me with a warm smile and prepares some eggs for us. I smile back and sit down at the table. Sitting there in silence I pick up the newspaper on the table I read about a kid my age. His name is Evan Fong, and weirdly feel something in my chest...it-it makes me feel happy. And I continued reading. It talks about him and his new coming of popularity on YouTube. With a small blush on my face my mother sneaks up behind me.

"Sooo does my boy have a crush on someone?",she says jokingly as she sets two plates of eggs and salsa on the table, one for her and one for me. I look up at her and then look back down at the paper. "N-nahh it's-it's just...", I stutter as my blush deepens,"soo what if I did?" I continued awkwardly.

"Well...", she started as I began to sweat a tad. "Well, we'd invite them over!", she says to me cheerfully as she swipes up the news paper to see at who I was looking at. "The-Them!?...", she yells as she looks back at me who frankly looks as if I'm going to collapse. A small pause filled the room as she responded,"He's cute, good look with asking him, kiddo!", she says smiling at me while walking over to sit across from me. I couldn't help but giggle over the situation as I take small bites of my eggs, making eye contact with my mother again. I get up from the table and clear my plate, and load it in the sink. Getting my backpack I meet my mothers gaze again before walking out of the house like usual, but today with a crooked smile from the boy I saw in the paper.
