Something About Being A Mate... Whaaat?

Chapter Fifteen: Can Anything Else In My Life Become Weird?

I yawn for like the sixtieth time today and rub my eyes. It's nine pm and I only just got home.

I groan and flop down on my bed.

Jesse decided that we should spend the day together, so we did. Was it fun? Yes. But also tiring... We saw a movie and then he took me shopping. He bought me stuff, not the other way around... At first I wasn't willing to let him spend money on me and kept sneaking money in his pocket whenever he bought me something. Until he caught me that is and gave back all my money... So I just went along with it.

We went to some fancy restaurant for dinner and it was actually really nice. I had to tell him that it wasn't a date and he laughed and said, "Of course it's not."

So I just looked at him oddly as he ate his ravioli.

I couldn't tell if today was a date or not, I still can't tell... I'm just so confused...

I roll over onto my side and hug my pillow. My friends, every single one, completely abandoned me. I thought I was becoming a lesbian. My skin is becoming a funny grey-ish colour, as if I'm sick... And sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night because I feel like someone is watching me...

I shake my head and sit up, swinging my legs over the edge of the bed.

I really need to stop thinking about things...

My phone vibrates on the bedside table and I pick it up to see a message from Jesse.

- Hey, you wanna hang out tomorrow?

I chuckle. Why is he so obsessed with seeing me now? I reply:

- Can't.

And almost immediately I get a text back.

- Why?

I sigh.

- Something called School? Duhh...

I shake my head and put my phone down. I walk over to my wardrobe and grab out my pyjamas and clean underwear.

Blurgh, I feel so sweaty and gross. So not attractive.

I undress myself and hop into the warm shower.

I rub my eyes and look down at my phone.

-You could always skip School...

I groan and shake my head, no Jesse.

- Goodnight, Jesse.

I hop into my nice cozy bed.

- But... skipping School with Jesse?

I roll my eyes and put my phone on charge.

Following song is "Faded" by Kate DeAraugo :)

"You never take,

Take the time to really look,

Look at the one,

The one I really am."

I groan and stretch my arms above my head.

"You try to fit,

To fit me in a perfect box.

You let me slip between the cracks,

Now I'm faded."

I shake my head and grab my phone. I open one eye and slam my finger down on the dismiss button, "Shut up." I mumble.

I swing my legs over my bed and crack my ankles. I sigh in relief. That feels a bit better at least. I must have slept funny, because my back is stiff and sore. I stand up and twist my upper torso to crack my back.

"Blurgh..." I walk my way to the bathroom. I'm in a major need of brushing my teeth and going to the toilet.

I rub my eyes and look at my bed again, "What the hell..?"

I don't remember having a fight with a thundercat last night.

I only just walked out of the bathroom to see four long scratches on my bed and my sheet is just completely torn... I kneel down on the bed and touch the marks. It looks like the sheet was scrunched up in pain or something. I don't understand... I would have woken if something was in the room with me.

I couldn't have done this, could I?

I look down at my nails and back at the bed. No, there is no way I could have done that. Then what did?

This is useless, "I'll deal with you later."

I quickly get changed and as I'm pulling on my jacket, I can hear my phone vibrate on the bedside table.

I groan. I bet it's Jesse.

- Hey hun, What are you up to today? x

There's only one person who sends me x's, take a guess. Reilly.

I sigh.

- Yes, sorry. I have school today.

I grab my purse and my phone vibrates in my hand.

- Damn :( I wanted to see you before work xx

I frown. Why now, Reilly?

-Um... okay.

I grab my keys and walk out, locking the door.

- Why not skip? :) <3

I groan. What the hell is going on? First Jesse and now Reilly? This is just getting queer.

- Gotta go, bye!

I turn my phone off and walk to my car. I sigh dramatically and I can't help but rest my head on the wheel when I get in the car. I've kind of had enough... Everything's just getting too weird for me now.
