Control

Fourteen

I bit my tongue, and groaned as I woke up. I wasn't ready to start school again.

Sam and Jaime came home last night, but I was long asleep. I had a dream. An odd dream.

Me and Sam were walking, and this random woman claimed to be our mother. It was rather weird to see her. She looked beautiful, nothing like I imagined, or remember.

I sighed, and yawned. I was prepared to just lay in bed all day. But my buzzing alarm blaring right by my ear signaled my time for rest was gone.

I climbed down the bunk bed ladder, and shook Sam awake. He groaned.

"Up sleepy head. How'd it go?" I asked, walking to the dresser.

"Eh." Was all he said. And that's all I could get out of him that morning. And on the bus.

As soon as I walked into the math room, I knew something was off. Ava was smirking at me. Sadie was giving me a look of disgust.

"That's horrible. Stealing another girls boyfriend? That's petty."

"What's petty is convincing yourself that your dating someone who hates you," I replied simply. So it was out me and Justin were dating. I couldn't tell if that was good or bad. I'm going to assume bad, because Sammi will probably want me killed.

I sighed, and looked at the board.

"I bet she's going to dump him for someone else soon."

"Two weeks. I'd give them two weeks." Talking like I wasn't there. That ticks me off so much.

"Two? I'm giving them one. He probably just wants her so he can get closer to Baby."

"Awe, the two would make such a cute couple. Not better then him and Sammi though. They were the school couple." My annoyance was through the roof. I felt so much annoyance, and even anger.

They stopped talking. Actually, the teacher stopped as well. Nobody moved. Nobody talked.

I looked up at the clock, confused. The minute hand wasn't working. The clock was broken. I rose my hand, but the teacher made no movement to acknowledge me.

Then, everything started again. Did I pass out?

"Think she'll take him back when he begs her?"

"Sammi will probably take him back, just to dump him. She's above him, and she's above this snot." But I stopped paying attention. My mind revolved around everything that had just happened. I sighed, and just decided I needed less time on YouTube, and more time actually sleeping.

After math was over, I walked to computer. A smile spread on my face as my eyes met Justin's. He smiled, and pulled me into a hug.

"You don't hafta wait for me," I giggled. He smiled, and shrugged.

"Well, I don't want Sammi to hurt my amazing girlfriend," he says, and pecked my lips. My smile grew, and grew even bigger as his hand found its way into mine. I gripped his hand as we walked in, and instantly I saw Sammi. She looked at us, and burst out crying. Baby ran over, and slid an arm around her. A few unknown words were exchanged, and Sammi pointed at us before breaking out in more tears.

His grip on mine tightened as I cringed. I didn't want her to be that upset because of me..

"She's faking, Raylin. Don't feel bad. She wants sympathy," he says, rubbing his thumb gently against my knuckles. It was like he knew what I thought. It was amazing to think we didn't even know each other that long and we were already dating. I'm not complaining.

We sat down, and I feared what Baby would say when she walked over. He kissed my cheek, and looked at me for a moment. I blushed.

"Hey. You're really pretty," he says, and smiles.

"You're adorable," I remarked. His smile grew. That's when I realized something, an upsetting thought running in my mind.

What would I tell him about the telekinesis? And what if he hated me for it?
