I arrived at home a bit early today, nobody was home so I went upstairs to take a bath. I started filling up the tub and adding in the bubbles just when I heard a noise, I quickly went downstairs to investigate or hear for thoughts, but nothing came up so I went back to the bathroom and relaxed in the tub. I just laid there, covered in bubbles thinking about life. Thinking about Eric. Three days have gone by since I talked to him, I cant help but feel like I cheated on him by going out with Tyler, stop being silly Natasha. That boy has never had one thought of being with you romantically.
I know, I know, but a girl can dream right?
Tyler and I continue to speak, I feel so guilty for leading him on. But truth is, I'm not ready for a relationship. I just want to be friends, but his thoughts tell me he wants more. Too bad he ain't getting it. School was actually pretty good, I mean I could read the teachers' mind meaning I get straight A's every semester but hey, that's not my fault! I smiled remembering the time where the teacher thought I cheated because I got a perfect score on the EOC, I learned from that day that every test I take I got to get at least one question wrong. I looked down at my hands, noticing how wrinkly they got from being in the-
What was that? I heard a loud clang coming from the stairs, This isn't about to be one of those creepy horror movies where the girl hears a noise and just sits there waiting for a killer to pop out. I quickly jump out of the tub and get dressed. I slick my hair back, ready to use my karate skills i learned from my father before he passed. I slowly exited out of the bathroom and rounded the corner. I had my fist out, ready to swing or even break someone's neck. I looked around everywhere but found no one, I went into my room to check and suddenly see Eric sitting on my bed.
"What are you doing?!" I scream
"Oh hey, I came to stop by." Eric said casually.
"By breaking and entering?!!" I said a little bit too loud
" I have a key." He flashed a smile while holding up the black and white steel key.
"When did you... Whatever that's not important. Why are you REALLY here?"
"Because, I wanted to see you. I wanted to hear your voice again
My heart fluttered and I think it skipped a beat "wh-wh- what" I stammered
"Listen, Natasha, I'm sorry about what i said and you shouldn't feel guilty about it, I mean if you do. I have to uh, get out of town for a while. And I don't want our friendship to be put on hold cause of it." He said.
Friendship. Ugh. "Oh. oh, yeah our friendship. I was thinking that too.
"No you weren't thinking that."
"What?" I asked confused
"I know exactly what your thinking and know exactly what your feeling. I'm different. Just like you."
And with that, he stood up and left. Leaving me standing there frozen.
