"Hey Leia, you ok?" Hayes was waving his hand in front of my face which got my attention.
"What?"
"You were spacing out. That's what" he answered while rolling his eyes, laughing. He stabbed his salad with his fork and took in a mouthful.
He's right, I was spacing out. I was deep in thought about my latest encounter with using psychometry this morning.
I couldn't help but worry for him.
6 hours ago...
"Son of a bitch, Hayes! Give me back my phone!" I was chasing Hayes who is running around the room with my phone. He found my secret folder of selfies I took at home using the wigs I found in the attic last weekend.
Why couldn't he just let me live in peace this bastard?
Most of our classmates are ignoring us and letting us be while some were just watching the tragedy that is me trying to get my privacy back from Hayes, my ever-loving bitch of a bestfriend.
This one quiet classmate of ours, Reid, just got in the classroom and Hayes crashed into him.
I finally caught up and snatched my phone away from the floor. That's when Reid suddenly grabbed my hand.
It was dark.
I can see a fogged up mirror in front of me. This looks like a...bathroom?
Looking down, I see it. Blade in my left hand and my right hand showing its wrists with previous scars already
It didn't take me long enough to put together what's going on.
'Don't do it' I kept screaming in my mind over and over again. But before I could feel the cold blade on my wrists I snapped back into the present situation. It turns out that Reid quickly drew his hand which cut off my psychometry.
I was relieved but at the same time I found myself growing worried for Reid for the rest of the day.
Knowing this and not being able to do anything if something would happen to him would make me guilty for the rest of my life.
Normally I'd tell Hayes about my psychometry experiences but this time I felt like I shouldn't. So I tailed Reid all day without Hayes being suspicious.
Just like today on our dinner Fri-date, I chose this diner mainly because Reid is here working. Also, the Cheezy Friez Zpecial is to die for.
"Hey, I didn't know Reid works here!" Hayes exclaimed in a whisper as Reid passed by our table with the next table's order.
I rolled my eyes as I teased him "Why you have a crush on him?"
"Oh god no! He doesn't fit my checklist"
"So you didn't find abs when you fell on to him this morning?"
"I only found four, I want six baby"
"How choosy can you get?" I laughed as I grabbed a fry from my tray. Hayes is almost done with his salad but I'm taking my time because Reid's shift doesn't end in about 30 minutes more.
He got up and dished out his plate as soon as he munched the last apple slice. Grabbing his bag he asked, "You coming or not?"
Clueless, I asked "Where?"
"Sean's study group, I told you today like 15 times?"
Nope doesn't ring a bell. Maybe I was too caught up on Reid that I didn't even notice.
"Nah you go on ahead, I have plans with my laptop tonight"
"Awww" he pouted but quickly smiled anyways "Well, have fun then stay safe on the way home Leia"
And with that he blew me a kiss to which I rolled my eyes and chuckled.
A few minutes passed and I only have 2 pieces of fries left on my tray. Reid's shift is almost done anyway so I ate them both.
A waiter came over and took my tray, "I'll dish that out for you"
"Thanks, Reid? Reid! Oh hey fancy meeting you here"
He came back a short while after dishing out my tray.
"Yeah you can leave now" he said clearly not amused at my presence. "Look, could you stop following me"
I was shocked to say the least. "Uh what do you mean?" I tried playing dumb.
"Just drop it Leia, for whatever reason stop following me"
I have no idea what came over me when I blurted out "I'm worried about you, Reid"
He turned around, "Worried?"
'Shit. Why did I say that?'
