Being Me

Chapter 3

 I was rudely awakened  by the sound of my phone ringing. It was bad enough the sun shined through the window unto my face

"What time is it?" I groaned as I glanced at my alarm clock

The clock read 5:30 am. What would possess someone to wake another person up at this time in the morning! Classes didn't start for another 3 hours.

"Kate, open the door" my cousin, Mishal commanded through the phone

I hung up and slowly walked towards the door, dragging my feet. I opened the door and Mishal stood there in her red night trousers and a white t-shirt; her brown hair pulled into a ponytail, wearing a wide grin on her face


"Hey cuz" she said as she entered my room

I felt like killing her

"What do want?" I asked hopelessly as I laid down on my bed

"Gossip has been spreading round that you got something yesterday" she replied, searching my room

"Yeah. Terry got me chocolates. Take it all" I said bringing them from under my bed and placing it on my fuchsia pink duvet

"Thanks..."

"Hey, where did you get those peonies from?' she asked as she smelt them

"-They smell awesome"

"Dylan gave me" I replied in a toneless voice

Mishal's eyes widened

"No way!" she exclaimed

"What's the big deal?"

"He totally has a thing for you" she concluded

"I doubt it."

"Okay, remember I told you so" she sang

"Gotta get back to my room. I left Roxanne alone" She uttered as she took the chocolates

"Am I the only girl that got something?" I forcefully asked

"Yeah! But you don't like Terry, do you?" She raised he eyebrow

"Not the slightest bit. I show no interest in him in anyway."

 "I should be on my way. Later cousin" with that she left my room.

As soon as I heard the door shut, I forced my eyes shut and tried to get back to sleep. I found myself thinking about Dylan. I really want to know what he was up to; why he acted the way he did and all towards me. Maybe he likes me... Nah, i doubt it, but things are possible aren't they? And someone definitely has to break it down to Terry that the closest thing to a relationship he'll get with me is Friendship. Is he obsessed or what??!! Cole liked me for two years and now we are close friends, nothing more. Why can't Terry do the same? I'm Not interested. I'll ask Sane to talk to him today, since they are so terribly close.

My alarm clock goes off, disturbing my thoughts and I glance at the time again. 

"Ughh!" I grunt as I slowly staggered to the shower.

Luckily, I left my iPod in the bathroom, so i put the song 'Young, Wild and Free' on repeat, till I was done.

When I got out of the bathroom, I put on my uniform and wore black patent stilettos with white knee high socks. I stared into the mirror that hung on my wall.

"You can do this" I said to myself putting my blazer on.

I took a glimpse at the peonies. Sigh. Have to get through this, i thought.

I tousled my hair and left my room, headed to class. As I made my way to the classroom area, I decided to take note of my environment, since I always took it for granted. The tall green trees and their blossoming flowers, the birds, the humidity of the area... Soo romantic
