Essence

The One Where I Got Busted.

"Finally," I said after folding my last pair of jeans into me dressing. I flopped down on my bed, staring up at my ceiling.

*Phone buzzed*

I sit up, quickly grabbing my phone off my table. I wonder who it could be?

Unknown number: Hey cutie. 6:43pm

I rolled my eyes in disgust. It's the fourth time this number has texted me in the the last month. It's kinda getting on my nerves.

I walked to my decks and sat down. I stated down at my unopened math book. I really need to at least try and get some homework done. Even though I was suspended from school for week.

********************************

I heard a knock at my door "who is it" I said trying not to take my concentration off of my homework

"It's just me Sam. Can I come in?"

"Yeah, you can come in"

Sam stood there wide-eyed and everything.

"You cleaned your room. That's surprising"

I Laugh " yeah, well when you get a whole week to yourself. You might as well do something productive."

"I guess so", he said before flopping down on my bed. We just sat there silence not saying anything to each other. We didn't need to talk to be comfortable. We could just sit in silence and be comfortable with it. Well maybe just me I don't know about him.

I got up and walked to over to my bookshelf grabing off Pulp Fiction. "Here, I know you have been really wanting to watch it"

"No way!? Thanks man"

I give him a side ways look "I'm a man now?"

"It sounds better than say women", he says opening up the case and inspecting the disk.

I stood there awkwardly watching him. I know what he was think. He probably thought I stole it from somewhere.

"I didn't steel it, if that's what you are thinking.

"I kind was" he chuckled

"I bought it with my own money" I trailed off

"Sorry I just-"

"Do you want to watch the movie or what"? I said cutting him off

He smiled and handed me the movie. I put it into the DVD player and sat down on my bed next to him.

We were not even half way through the movie before he paused it.

"Hey! This is a good part". I gestured towards the TV.

I frowned at him when I noticed he had the biggest grin oh his face.

"I was just thinking"

"About?

"That girl...Mia well she kinda reminds me of you in away."

I snorted " yeah because I snort heroin thinking it cocaine."

"No silly, the way she acts in the movie. Mostly toward Vincent."

"Huh thanks"

I could tell he had something eles on his mind because he started to pick at his finger nails.

"Its Sarah isn't?"

He nodded is head yes. Sarah was Sam's girlfriend. Well more like I'm your girlfriend when we are together but when we are not. I'm single and I'm ready to mingle. They have been dating for almost two years now off and on. I don't understand why he won't leave her sorry ass. She's got him soo whipped.
