Fatal Redemption | J.J.K.

PAIGE;
I awoke at my usual time, unfazed really about my dream. It was more of a nuisance than an apparent 'warning'.

I was growing tired of it day by day, night by night. I sighed and began to get ready for practice.

I had something to look forward to today anyway to get rid of my nightmares.

I put on my usual attire and slipped on a hoodie and grabbed my phone along with my keys.

I walked downstairs and grabbed a water bottle. After that I made my way to the school field and joined the rest of my fellow runners.

Xavier met up with me and nudged me as I looked at him, confused.

He used his head and pointed towards the field, I knitted my eyebrows together and turned.

I looked at the field and saw him, as he was already looking at me. I blushed and looked away not wanting him to see my red cheeks.

Xavier chuckled at my reaction as I punched his shoulder and laughed when he whined.

Practice ended not long ago as I returned home, with Jungkook on my mind. Will it be weird if it's just the two of us?

I stepped out the shower and dried myself off. I braided my hair to get it out of my way as I wrapped a towel around me.

I walked out of my restroom and went into my closet. I wanted to go with a comfortable but good look.

I decided on wearing black skinny jeans with rips in the knees, a great wave white shirt  that I tucked in and mended with a belt. I put on a jean jacket and lastly my black old skool vans.

I looked in my room mirror and nodded in approval. I took my hair out of its braid and brushed it out.

It looked better today than usual. I raked it back and sighed.

I looked at my makeup bag on my dresser and tilted my head. 'It's not like it's a real date' my subconscious spoke.

I guess a bit of shimmer wouldn't hurt? I walked over and grabbed my glossier cherry balm.

I opened it and put it on, I rubbed it on my lips and felt more satisfied. My lips were a bit more prettier now.

I spritzed on some peach perfume and sighed when I realized that I was trying too much.

I looked at my reflection one last time. This is as good as it's gonna get.

I walked over to the hanger by my room door and grabbed my dark grey fjallraven kanken bag.

I opened it, it already had my ray bans, hand sanitizer, lotion and my chapstick because I can't have just one to fulfill my chapped lips.

I added in my wallet and earphones along with the rest of my stuff before zipping it back up and putting it on.

I grabbed my phone and unlocked it to see that I received a text. It was from Jungkook.

<Jungoo: I'm on my way to Sweetz right now, I'll see you in a few]
[Me: I'm on my way too, I'll see ya>

I locked it and exited my room, I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen.

I saw my brother eating, as usual. My mom was probably busy so might as well just tell him where I'm going.

"Hey I'm going to hang out with a friend" I said as he nodded while munching on cereal

"Be safe" he muttered as I smiled and nodded, we grew apart as we got older but the love was still visible.
