Dear Future Me [COMPLETED]

Motorcycle

Dear future me,

I'm writing this very short note quickly after Simon and I have arrived home from Culvers. I just wanted to make a comment on how easy it is to talk to him. I'm happy he is around.

Until next time,

Sophia.

Sophia

Janet loved country music, that's how I knew it so well.

"Ready?" Simon asks, with a concerned look in his eyes.

"Uh yeah, let's go," I say, opening the car door and hopping out.

When we get in I order chicken strips and he orders a burger. I love chicken strips, especially with Bar-B-Q sauce.

"So about that play, we could rehearse it when we get back?" Simon says.

"Oh yeah, that would be smart. Then we have less of a chance of messing up." I chuckle, "though I must warn you, in the third-grade play I had one line and I forgot it." I laugh at the memory.

"What was it?" Simon asks.

"I still don't remember!" I burst out laughing and so does he.

The waiter brings us our food and we sit and eat in a comfortable silence.

"Thanks again, Soph. I know I've thanked you like a thousand times but really, you're doing me a huge favor," He says, giving me a small smile.

"Seriously Simon, it's no big deal. When a friend needs help, you help them. I know you would do the same for me." I say, taking a bite out of my chicken strip.

"Yeah, I know." He says quietly.

-------------------------

We get home around 7 and sit on the couch. "Want to watch a movie?" I ask him. "Or do you want to do the play?"

"Hmm let's do the play, then a movie," He says with a smirk.

We get up and grab our scripts. I have the first line so I clear my throat. 

"We can not be seen together, my love, or you will surely be killed," I say looking into his eyes.

"Please, come with me. We can run away together." He fake pleads, grabbing my hand.

"I-I can't, they will find us. I know it." I fake sorrow in my voice.

"Please, please come with me, my love. I cannot live without you," He begs, getting down on his knees.

I go down to his level and throw my arms around his neck and hug him. "Okay, I will run away with you. Meet me here in two days at midnight." I lean in like I'm going to kiss him and so does he.

He keeps coming closers but it isn't in the scene so I pull away. "I think that will get us and A for sure!" I say to him, getting up.

"Uh, yeah me too." He says, he has an emotion in his eyes that I can't place.

"Are you okay?" I ask.

"Yeah, I'm fine. So what movie are we watching?" He asks obviously trying to change the subject so I let it go.

"Well, it depends on the genre. I haven't seen a horror movie in a while, and I'm assuming you don't want a chick flick," I assume, walking to where we have our movies and pulling out Insidious even though it isn't very scary.

"Horror sounds good. Just as long as you don't scream like a little girl," He says, giving me a smirk.

"Yeah right, if anyone is going to scream it'll be you!" I laugh poking him in the chest playfully.

"Whatever you say, Soapie." 

Great, now he's calling me Soapie too.

"Hey! Just because you eat soap once you get stuck with a horrible nickname. It's not like I was obsessed." I huff. I look over at Simon and I can tell he's trying to hold in a laugh. He keeps coughing and finally bursts out laughing.

"Th-thats why... there... was... s-soap in.... your b-bag." He manages to say in between laughs.

"Yeah yeah, that was Justin." I inform him. When he finally sobers up I put in the movie and take a seat on the couch. He sits down close, but not to close. 

---------------------------

I snuggle deeper into my pillow, why does it feel so weird? I wonder but am do tired to open my eyes. Wait. When did I go to bed? My eyes snap open and I see a sleeping Simon with his arms wrapped around me. I try to quietly get out of his arms but he just pulls me closers to him.
 
Great. I'm stuck in Simon's arms.

It doesn't feel that bad.

Shut up.

You're talking to yourself again.

Am not!

Uh yeah, you are.

I huff and poke Simon in the face. "Wake up and get your arms off me," I say, not too loud but hopefully loud enough to wake him up. He just grunts in return and pulls me even closer.

"Simon!" I say a little louder and his eyes snap open, he looks down and me and quickly lets me go.

"Uh, sorry, I guess we fell asleep." He grunts. 

I look at my phone and see it is seven o'clock. Crap! I jump up and run to the stairs. I remember Simon is still on the couch. "Hurry up school starts in half an hour!" I tell him and turn around and run up the stairs.

I pull on a black v-neck and dark grey leggings. I quickly brush my hair and run downstairs. I see Justin and Julia at the table and Simon is making toast.

---------------------------

The day went by pretty quick with nothing significant happening. Simon is spending another night at my house until his house is cleaned.

I get to go get my car today so I decide to walk to the garage. It's not that far from the school and I have my keys. I start the walk, and it's a bit cold but it is September, so I guess that's normal.

I hear a motorcycle coming down the street but don't look to see who's driving. "Hey, Soph! What's up?" I hear someone yell. I whip my head around and see that it's Dan.

"I'm going to pick up my car at the garage," I yell to him.

"Oh, do you want a ride?" He asks me.

"Sure, why not," I say walking over to him.

"Hey, do you want to get some food first? I'm hungry." Dan asks as I get on the bike and wrap my arms around his stomach.

"Sure, I'm hungry too," I say and he nods and starts up the bike again.
