"Ashlynn get your butt down here!!" Mom likes to only yell things. Considering the fact she was in the navy for half of her life. I rush down the stairs as fast as possible. Trying to avoid the fact that if I go any slower, I am going to receive another two hour lecture on time management. Apparently I was too slow this morning and now my mom starts at it again.
"Ashlynn you need to better yourself! If you can't manage time I don't see how you will get anywhere in life! Sometimes you dissapoint me! Don't worry the navy will fix you right up!"  My mom says all this with one of the sharpest tones ever. Almost like her voice was a dagger just trying to pierce through my soul. What she doesn't understand is that I am not enlisting in the navy. No matter how many times she yells at me to do it. I want to be a musician and she knows this.

Finally making it to school, I meet up with my wonderful boyfriend Luke and we go in together hand in hand. All these girls better back off because he is mine now. All mine.
Mine.
The word bounces in my head. Over and over.
Mine,mine,mine.
My brain knows this relationship won't last. It knows I'm just another girl to him. Just another girl to show off and parade about with. I'm just another girl.
All the while, my hand still clasped in his, we walk to our lockers. As soon as we get there Michael runs into us. Luke being Luke of course had to be a jerk and yell at him.
" What the crap dude!?! Can't you see me and my girl are standing right here???" Luke practically screams it making sure everybody sees the scene he is creating. Michael basically shrivels up and just stands there. Not really sure how to take what is being thrown at him. I know better than to intervene between the two. Knowing that if I did I would probably lose the boy every girl wants.
Mine. Mine. Mine.
Now my heart thumps to the beat of the word. Again, I'm thinking way too much and I can't stop. I just start running. Running out of nowhere. Running quickly. Running fast. There is no way anyone can catch me. I'm gone. They should have changed my name to Ashlynn Speed Jefferson. I was so fast even cheetahs were jealous. Running nonstop. Until I hit a brick wall, and I don't mean figuratively. I legitimately hit a brick wall. The pain cascades to my forehead effortlessly. I see that my knee is bleeding. BOOM!
A blackout. Rephrase, I blackout. First thing I see when I open my eyes is a boy. Not just any boy either. I knew him from somewhere. I just couldn't figure out where. The market, the library, my favorite Mexican restaurant? Nope, he was from somewhere special. Somewhere you only go to about once or twice a year. Oh where was this boy from! All I could remember was he was very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Before I know it we are at the front door of my house. He drops me off and waves goodbye.

Just then I feel like a trash bag for not even asking his name. Or let alone even saying thank you. What was I thinking? All I know now is that Luke is going to be ticked tomorrow. I really don't want to face him and his beautiful pearly white teeth. Oh how his smile just makes me melt into a puddle of nothingness.

I was practically dead the whole morning. Doing everything with no feeling nor emotion. Even mom was worried, which never happens. I walked into school. My main mission of the day was to find that boy. To thank him of course. Although he was a very beautiful person I was determined to not catch feelings for him. I was/am trying to be as loyal as possible to my own boyfriend.
Mine.mine.mine.
It starts up again. Distracting me from my sole mission. The voices don't stop ever. The only way I could get them to tone down is to run. And that is something I am trying to hold off on right now.

I go to the commons where all the cool people hang out in between classes. I peered over to the table Luke and I always occupy. You would never believe what I saw. Never in my wildest dreams did I think this would be happening to me.
