Never Be The Same

Chapter 2

I woke up in the middle of the night and immediately reached for my phone under the pillow 01:55 , I seriously thought I would sleep longer than that but I knew that it was impossible for me to sleep for a long time

I unlock my phone and I see two unread messages , both from Tyler . I smile to myself in the dark as I think of the goofy air head I call my Best friend . He's been there for me for as long  as I can remember.  I always thought I was meant to be a loner until I met him . He always sees me as a person , prone to make mistakes and not like the miss goody two shoes every one makes me out to be  ,then they sort of get mad or feel some sort of satisfaction when I make a mistake

I evacuate the negative thoughts out of my head and open Tyler's message

Piece of Shit : Goodnight Lee , I hope you sleeping just fine because you will be waking up soon as usual , maybe this time you won't be bored during the night because you've got lover boy to think about 😂😂 Love you asshole

Piece of Shit : And I repeat ,sweet dreams about lover boy **Nudge Nudge**

Ladies and Gentlemen , that's my Best friend trying  to play Cupid . Key word being 'trying' . I mean yeah Damien is nice and all and I'm pretty sure all the girls at CrestWood High are going to flock over him and I don't intend on doing such . But Tyler being Tyler , I'm pretty sure he's convinced that I like the guy .

I massage my temples and think of what to do at the moment . I could read a novel but right now I'm not in the mood of feeling jealous because of some romance that exists because of someone's figment of imagination.

Okay that was uncalled for  . I finally decide to practice  Mathematics.  I get out of bed and wear my fluffy gown with sleepers . I take out my textbooks and notes and put  them on my study table . I grab a few snacks in my locker and finally sit down to study .

After a few hours , I feel my eyes starting to itch , my back aching and my head feels like there are elephants hosting a party on top of it . I check the time and i'm surprised to find that it's already 03:45 . I stand up and stretch my limbs ,pack my books in my bag pack according to the time table , made sure that everything is ready for the day ahead .

Once I'm satisfied with my arrangements for the day . I quickly go to take a shower . I peel off my night clothes grab my towel and put it in a safe place . I open the faucet of hot water . I step into The  shower letting the hot water cascade down my body and momentarily soothing my troubles  . I take my time applying my vanilla and Orange orchid body wash since no one is awake yet up until the water began to get cold . I quickly went out of the shower , wrapped the towel against my body and went back to my room . I dried myself and applied some lotion , put on my uniform , tied my black hair into a bun and since i'm not a big fan of make-up , I only applied some lip balm to my lips so that I don't have chapped lips

I could already hear all the girls waking up . Today I decided to wear my uniform before I went to study because I didn't feel like coming back to change

I went to school early as usual , got in class and sat at the very last seat and convinced myself that a five minute nap won't hurt . I was wrong

I'm awakened by a gentle touch on my back . I open my eyes slowly m adjusting to the light in the class and my eye almost pop out as I realise that it's almost first period and I haven't even done anything . I look up and find my Best friend starring at me with an almost sad smile

'This sleeping problem is starting to be a real problem ' Tyler says holding eye contact with me and there's clear concern all over his face .

I just shrugg it off and as I was about to speak , Damien enters the class casually strolling in and confident as ever ,With his jet black hair and breathtaking smile . He stops for a moment and looks at me. We hold eye contact for a few seconds before I decided to  turn away .
