After All This Time

Chapter 2

I started to listen to music on the bus back to school and as I was, I started to fall asleep. The girl on the seat next to me apparently decided to start taking pictures of me. She is sort of my friend but she also knows I hate pictures, our friendship is very complicated. When I woke up she started to show me all the pictures, she even posted them on her Snapchat story. Ugh I just can't believe she did that. Now I just feel embarrassed.

There is only an hour left of school once we get back, so the teachers said we could go hangout outside or in the schools lobby until school is over for the day. I wanted to go outside and draw with chalk, so I did of course. I usually make rainbows when I draw with chalk because I like blending the colors, it just looks so amazing in my opinion.

Mikayla came over to me and got my attention, "Hey, you want to come over to my house for the weekend?".

"Yeah, sure. I'll ask my parents about it today after school." I didn't have any plans so I thought why not?

"Maybe we can go to the movies or get our nails done." She told me suggestions or ideas.

"You know I'm not that kind of a girl to do that,  I mean you can get your nails done and I can watch." I'm really not the kind of girl to dress up or use make up and stuff, hopefully she understands.

"Then what would you do while I'm getting my nails done, I don't want to just leave you alone." She said.

"I can just get on my phone, that's what I'm usually doing anyways." Yep, I always have my head to my phone with games and texting.

"You sure? I don't want you to be bored or anything." Mikayla said.

"Of course it's fine. My phone is my entertainment, how do you not know this?" I kinda laughed a little bit, I thought she always knew, I'm on my phone almost all the time.

Sooner than I knew it, the bell rang. I already see my mom across the street, waiting to pick me up.

As soon as I get into the car my mom asked, "Did you have fun today on your trip?"

"Yeah, I had a good time." I didn't tell her about Mason because she doesn't know about him stalking me. I don't want her to worry so I never had told her.

"Learn anything new?" She asked me.

"Nothing much." I answered. I did learn that some people, such as Mason, can get in my nerves less than a split second.

Once and for all we finally made it home. I went straight upstairs to my room, sat my bag down my bed and my phone on my desk. I was about to go back down stairs but then "Ding Dong!" there goes the door bell.

I hear my mom start talking to someone as she answers the door. The voice sounded familiar like a guys voice but it wasn't a good familiar. I hear my mom invite him upstairs to my room and I'm starting to get nervous to see who walks into the room. I hear footsteps getting closer and closer to my room at the end of the hall. Then at last, he walks in. Welp, it's my time to die... Mason arrived. Such surprise.

"What are you doing here?", I asked kind of angrily.

"I thought I could come see my girl and help her study." He said it as if we're dating, but I sure do know we're never going to date.

"First, I don't even like you and never had. You just need to stop following me and I never invited you to my house and never plan to either." I told him.

"Oh but you will like me, I'll make sure of it." He tried playing it smooth, I don't think it was smooth though.

"I never liked you and I never will. Now get out of my house or I will scream so my mom will think you're hurting me, understand?" I know I may have seemed like a snitch but how else could I make him get out of the house?

"Okay, okay. I'll leave, but I will get you to like me." He said with a smirk as he walked out of my room.

"Yeah, whatever." I said rolling my eyes and mumbled to myself, "like that's possible."

I heard Mason and my mom say goodbye to each other. Then I felt relieved to hear the sound of the front door shutting, meaning that Mason has finally left. Since now that he's gone, I'm going to go downstairs as well to get something to eat.

"I thought the two of you were going to study." My mom said when I came down from my room.

"He got a call from his parents and I guess something came up." I didn't want my mom worrying about me so I didn't tell her the truth.

"Maybe next time he'll get to study." She said.

"No, it's fine mom. Maybe I want to spend some time with you instead of some guy from school." Honestly, hanging out with my mom would be a better idea then anything to do with Mason.

"Are you sure, honey. I don't want to get in the way of you and that boy." She said giving me a look.

Oh, dear. Please say she doesn't think I like him... "Do you think I like him?"

"Why wouldn't you? He seems like a nice young man." She said in a calm voice.

"No, mom. I don't like him, he's not even my type anyways." I replied.

"Well, okay. If that's what you say then, I'll stop teasing you now." She said.

"Thanks." Hopefully she understands.

Once we're done talking, I go and make a sandwich and head back up to my room. After a while from eating my sandwich, it's already around 5pm and I lie down.

Then I slowly start to fall asleep.
