Am I Too Overwhelming?

10 ~ Did you Catch my Sarcasm?

Kate

I woke up the next day feeling so relaxed. You ever wake up and feel so relaxed? Like, you're face feels fresh and your body feels like its full of energy? This doesn't happen often, but I love the feeling. It's like finding a fresh jar of Nutella; untouched and unopened. Can you imagine? Hardly, I bet.

Oh! Right, you're not here for that. I completely forgot. You just wanna hear about Matthew. Well, pardon me for wanting to make a friend in the process. He DM'ed me on Instagram and I thought it was really sweet. Now, I have proof that it was actually him. Some people actually tend to change a persons contact name to convince others something else. I never found it funny nor useful.

We exchanged a few messages, you know, the usual. Huh. I'm saying that as if we've known each other for more than a day. Anyway, back to what you came for. You know, I said 'Hi,' he replied very quickly. Like, really quickly. You ever seen The Flash? Imagine that for a text. I have no doubt in my mind that he was still in our DMs, waiting for me to respond.

Well, we had a conversation and it didn't really end very well?

Yesterday, 11:15 PM

Mattox: Hey, I had a great time with you today. I hope to see you again sometime.

Me: oh my gosh, i'm fangirling so hard right now! did you catch my sarcasm?

Mattox: wow. i take my time to message you and this happens.

Me: It's 11:16 at night and i'm really tired because *somebody* took me to all types of places.

Mattox: Maybe that *somebody* plans on taking you out to way more?

Me: hahaaah, sense my sarcasm again
Me: i should've never sent that, i knew you'd reply something like that

Mattox: is there something wrong with that?

Me: yeah, there is. you could be doing that to every female you talk to. you have more money than most kids, you and your mom wear designer clothing and you seem to wanna flirt with *me.*

Mattox: typing...

Me: you've been typing for quiet a while now. not that i care...

I look up at the time and I see it's getting later and later. It's now 11:22 and I'm getting even more tired. Plus, Matthew is testing my anger and I'm not such a friendly person when I'm tired and angry.

Me: i don't know why i'm still here, i'm gonna go to sleep now.

Mattox: Typing...
And then the bubbles disappeared.

I chuckle as I unplug and shut my phone off. I put it away, shake my head and fall asleep.

Who needs a phone, right? Right? I mean, truth be told, you should be able to live without a phone. We can't, though, we're too attached. I guess this a change.

So, I got 12 hours of sleep. It's currently 11:30 in the morning and I have nothing to do. I can't text anyone and ask them if they want to get anything, nor can I just walk into their houses.

I sigh, getting up from my bed and walking out of my room. I walk into my mother's room to see if she's there. She's not. It's awfully quiet, though. I wonder if she's here.

I look throughout the entire house and I don't find her anywhere. Maybe she just went out for some time. I shake my head, grabbing my keys, and locking the door as I leave as well. Now, I have my phone on me in case of emergencies; but I'm not turning it on just yet. I don't know where I'm going either, I might just go for a walk.

As I'm walking, I think about Matthew. It's strange how I used to fangirl over him, but I meet him once and I don't care as much. What if he does talk to all the girls he meets that way? I don't wanna be just another girl to him, let alone anyone. I shouldn't even know who Matthew really is. I shouldn't even be talking to him, I should be listening to his music and not worrying about what he thinks. You know? I should do that. I'll do that right now.

I stop where I am and turn on my phone. I look up and keep walking, waiting for it to turn on. As soon as it does, my phone endlessly vibrates with notifications.

What the hell?! Why so many!?

I look around and spot a fast-food restaurant nearby. I don't even look at the name of it, I just start walking towards it. As soon as I get there, I walk into the ladies' bathroom and unlock my phone. I look down at it with wide eyes. There are all these random people sending me DMs asking me what happened. I don't know any of these people. There's so many.

I open my most recent one and see someone shared a story with me. It's Matt's. Under the shared story, the person says "I hope you two make up </3." I shake my head and open the story.

Mattox:
______

I didn't mean to make you feel unwanted, I'm sorry :(

______

He tagged me at the end. That's why so many people are concerned. I'll post a story myself, y'know, to even things out.

____

I know, @Mattox. Stop tagging me, I'm running on 16gb >:/

_____

I put my phone in my pocket and walk out of the restaurant. Nothing from my mom. I sigh and walk back towards my home.

I guess I'm just gonna sit at home all day. Nothing new.

••••••••••••

I just moved into this really beautiful apartment and I'm getting some extreme deja vu at the moment. But anyway, where could Kate's mom be? Hmm, how I wonder ;).
