I sat down on the rolley chair she bought me as she pulled out her math work. I looked at it confused. Then she handed me a paper with math i knew.
"Here why dont you practice the math you already know. Then i can check it." She said
"Okay can you teach me some more soon. I wanna know the math you do." I said
"Of course, just dont tell your grandma." She said putting her finger to her lips.
"I won't, flower" i said blushing a little.
"Where'd you come up with that nickname. " she said smiling down at her paper.
"Well your name is rose and you like flowers." I said.
"Oh. I love it."she said.
"I had to come up with something since you call me Mikey." I said knowing I was blushing again
"You're cute when you blush." She said looking at me.
"Gosh dont look at me like that. You make me nervous." I said shaking my head looking down to finish the problem.
"Can i see." She said seeing I was finished with the paper .
"Good job mikey, you got them all right " she said writing it on his paper.
"It's because of you." I said. Im not smart without her.
"You're very smart without me."she said getting closer.
I shook my head and looked down and waited until she was done.
"Okay im done. " she said cleaning up her stuff. We went on her bed and she turned on something called netflix
"Can we watch a scary movie?" I said.
I love them. One time I came over and we watched
"Which one mikey?" She said. I pointed at the one that said insidious 3. She clicked it and tossed the remote on her nightstand.
After a while she was right up against me and it was like i couldn't focus. I felt some invisible force pulling me to her. The movie ended and she sat there for a second. Then she got up and sat infront of me. I sat up looking at her
"Michael have you ever kissed anyone?" She said.
"No" I said thinking about it
"Can i show you"
"How are you gonna do that" i said
"Close your eyes and if you dont like it you can pull away" she said smiling
"Okay" i said closing my eyes
I felt her hand on the side of my face and her lips softly on mine. I froze not knowing what to do.
I felt that same invisible force from before pulling me. It was like there was electricity surging through us.
"Did you feel that?" She said pulling back
"Yeah" i said trailing my fingers over my lips

Rose started her new school today so Michael had been up since 6. I watched the way he was with her this morning and afternoon when she came home.
I went into his room to tell him dinner would be soon. Then i realized he was at the neighbors
I walked up to the house and grabbed the spare key from under the flower pot. Then walked in.
I heard talking coming from upstairs so i headed up the long staircase. I stopped infront of her cracked door before entering.
"Close your eyes and if you dont like it you can pull away" I heard her say.
"Okay" I heard my grandson say. Thats when i peered in and saw them kissing
Foolish girl. He cant love, He dosent know how. She dosent know him the way i do, I raised him for god sakes. If only she knew the messes i had to clean up for him.al All those dead animals buried in the backyard. And jesus Not to mention when he aged ten years overnight.
I stood there contemplating if i should go in or not. Then i turned on my heel and left the house silently. The thoughts of him and her together floating in my mind. Its not possible it just cant be. What is she doing that im not? I thought as i walked into my bedroom.

"Yeah" he said confusion washing over his face. He ran his fingers over his lips
" what time is it" he questioned getting up from my bed
"Almost 6:30" i said looking at my phone
"I gotta go grandma is probably making dinner" he said turning about to leave
"Hey." I said getting up softly grabbing his hand. "Im sorry if i made you uncomfortable" I said looking up at him. Feeling the same surge from his hand.
"You didn't. I liked it." He said getting shy towards the end of his sentence. I nodded and he left my room without another sound.
I never use to feel this way, i dont know what changed. But now when michael isnt around, its like i feel empty. I don't feel that electricity flowing through me.
I was snapped from my thoughts when my left arm started hurting again. It was like a burning sensation and cold one at the same time. Its been happening since i started school. But i am left handed so maybe im over working that arm.
I sat back down on the bed and thoughts of him flooded my mind. Something id come a custom to. It happens everytime he leaves.
7 hours later
My arm was still burning even after hours. I decided to roll up my sleeve and froze at what i saw.
There was faint marks appearing on my arm. A faded color of silver appeared under my skin. it swirled and glimmered in the light as it laced around seeming to grow down my arm.
I had enough of strange things so I pulled my sleeve back down and suppressed it from my memories.
I laid back onto my bed and pulled my covers over me. My sight shot at his window, the light was still on. I smiled a bit knowing he never goes to sleep until I turn my light off. With that I reach over and turn my light off.
Goodnight Mikey
