*unpredictable headaches...

"Look at you, I missed you already, you look lighter than the usual,"
Mom grins widely, we were in the car and I was so tired I kind of wanted to sleep.
"I thought you said your P.A would come and fetch me, change of plans how?"I ask leaning against the window looking at the moving trees. Unfortunately it began to rain, fortunately I loved rain and the smell that it brought, it was so addictive it made me want to lick all the wet soil, weird right.
"Just for this weekend, I decided to leave early for the sake of you, aren't you happy to see me?" She asks and I push a smile hoping she wouldn't notice my hidden frown.
"Yep, I am, just I never expected you at all, but I missed you mama," I mumble closing my eyes and feeling the cold that was freezing my forehead as it was placed against the glass.
"I missed you too dear, so how was the first week in you new school, nobody bullied you yet, or has no boy touched my baby?" She asks looking at me through the rearview mirror. I exhale sharply and let out a fake laugh.
"Nope, in fact it was alright, I made new friends, Melissa, Maya and Riley, they are really nice,"
I say smiling trying to punch down my brain that kept on bringing up Leo and Justin.
"You are not an antisocial person, for many years I thought you were one until this year when I met that 5, 6 or 7 friends you had"
She says tapping on the steering looking so focused on the road, I begin to think of the day I drove Leo's car, I'm a good trick puller though...compliments oh thank you all!...could you go a day without thinking about him you doefus, Lizard you are with your mom, what if...I jump out removing my head from the window as if I was electrically shocked by it. My subconscious just brought me back to life, why is he stuck in my mind, isn't there any brain vacuum, to clean him out for good.
"Its unbelievable how kids grow so fast, anyways I got a phone call from the school, permission on an Art thing?, with a Leo, his your partner in a competition?"
She says and my eyes widen in shock and fear, I fiddle with Leo's shirt pulling it down a bit. This is a nightmare, and I would like to wake up please, things are becoming worse every time I close my eyes. My heart beat pounces and I could feel I was sweating, this is so not in a girls nature, well we do sweat but not like this.
"Oh, really, I, it's, oh yes Art class, the Art class teacher asked me to represent the school on an Art Competition that might be international, but like I might get in on the skating rings again mama,"
I say trying best to avoid her question even though my voice was shakingly terrible.
"Oh, so soon, so you and this Leo are good in Art, well I accepted it and so you and Leo How, Hovers right?" She asks and I release my seatbelt slowly inhaling avoiding her wide grin and brow eye's.
"Hover's, yes that is right, I don't know much, about him, just like, uhm, so is there any skating rinks you located around NewYork?"
I ask fiddling with his shirt trying best not to lift my head up. Again I'm changing the subject and I hope this time it works. I guess Leo's name will always pop up no matter what, how strange.
"Yep I found one, we can go some time, you shouldn't be to obsessed on skating honey, you know how it makes you sick, its one if the reasons you have unpredictable headaches, speaking of that, didn't it happen at school yet?"
"No,"
I lie, it did, first day. When I was hiding from Justin. But it wasn't so bad after all. I never even noticed that we were in the parking lot. I smile when I see the beautiful house in front of me, I have been long waiting all this weekend just to sleep in my own room with total silence.
I greet Sam politely and he nods as he grabs my bags that were stuffed in the boot. I quickly jump out of the car and run towards the big door feeling the rain drops shower over my cheeks. The smell of the cold weather again fills me up but I cannot wet myself. Today I just feel like sleeping on my bed and listening to the sweet sound of the rain. Although I'm really hungry, extremely hungry, need I remind you, I never get full from the schools meals, ever.
