Crystal

You see, normally people would just go around telling people about this, but I'm kind of different. I asked him politely to not tell anyone and then i vowed to myself not to as well. Except for Crystal.

After detention I called Crystal, here's how that went:

-HEY ALI!! HOW WAS DETENTION??

-Umm it was good, WHY DIDNT YOU GO??

-I thought I would leave you alone with boy toy

-OMG DO NOT CALL HIM THAT! And thanks to you not coming, we kissed.

Suddenly I heard an extremely loud squeal and then silence.

-Crystal, u still there?

-Yeah sorry about that, i had a freak out moment.

-Yeah okay, well you can't tell anyone or I swear to god I will...

-Shit, my dumb ass brother is kicking me off the phone, gotta go, bye

-Ugh... Bye

And that basically explains how most of our phone calls go. Mainly because I never call her unless I need something or I need to tell her something. So yeah, only for important things.

She usually freaks out over things so to be honest, that squeal didn't really bother me. One time she got so excited that she actually hurt herself and I had to race to her rescue. It wasn't as heroic as it seems.

Well anyways, the worst part of me kissing him was:

1. The fact that I still don't know his name

2. The fact that I don't know if he will actually keep a secret

And,

3. Going home to my shit family, or should I say, my mom.

Basically when I got home I instantly went upstairs to my room and slammed the door, my daily routine. I don't give a shit what my mom thinks about me, or my grades, or anything. She hasn't once been here for me in my whole life. See, shes not like other parents, I don't get pelted with the "What did you do today?" Or "Do you have any homework?" questions.

Essentially after the divorce my mom went down that marvellous drug and alcohol road so I'm alone almost 100% of the time anyways. I loved being alone. It was my time, all to myself.

The reason going home was such a big issue after kissing him, is because now I have all this time to just think. Think about how I shouldn't have done that, and many ways I can prevent it from ever happening again. Thinking, about everything.
