Confusion

- 6 -

****

It's friday morning now, I wake up feeling a little tipsy, I did have a few drinks, but not enough to keep doing what I was doing with luke last night, shit, I shouldn't be talking about it.

My phone rings, showing a picture of michael.

I yawn. "Hey michael."

"Hey, are you coming today?" He asks.

I nod. "Mhm."

"You seem tiered." Michael chuckles.

"I am, I need to go put water on my face or something." I giggle.

"Well, I'll pick you up, if you'd like."

I smile. "That'll be great, thanks mikey."

"Not a problem, see you later!" He hangs up, and I walk to the bathroom, I splashed water on my face, noticing I had a hickey, from luke I suppose, great. I find something to cover it up, there was some concealer, it didn't do much, but at least it covered it up. I run downstairs, seeing my mum getting food ready.

"Morning honey." She walks over, kissing my head.

I smile. "Morning."

"How are you?" She asks.

I yawn. "Good. I guess."

"You guess?"

"I don't want to talk about it."

She stands there, trying to figure me out.

"It involes a boy doesn't it?" She asks.

I frown. How do you-"

"I've seen that look before." She laughs. "My sister had that look."

I sigh. "It's confusing."

She nods, walking near me, pulling me in for a hug. "I know, honey, I know." My mum was always good at making me smile.

I sigh, hearing michael car pull up outside. "I should go to school. I love you mum."

She nods. "Be good today, please." She says, kissing my head before I leave. I walk out near the sidewalk, where michael's car was parked. I look inside seeing michael smile. I step in and he grabs my hand.

"Everthing alright? I saw you talking to your mum."

I shake my head. "It's just- I don't know what to think."

He sighs. "You know you can talk to me, alright?"

I nod. "Thanks mikey." His hand moves to the wheel again, he starts driving towards school, we turn on the radio, hearing our favourite songs again. I'm still not sure what to tell ashton, if he's found out, he'd probably break up with me.... and I don't want that.

We've arrived at school now, everyone was here, I could even see ashton and luke with eachother, both of them turn to me. It felt like one of those slow-mo moments, where two boys you like, turn and wink at you. They did that, both of them, michael nudges me, I sigh.

"I think they're both in love with me michael."

Michael shrugs. "Who wouldn't be?"

I laugh. "That doesn't help!"

He is always the funny friend to me, you could say romantic as well.

He chuckles. "Sorry that you're cute!"

I roll my eyes. "Alright, lets get to class before this gets awkward."

He nods. "Agreed." We walk to our class, where I see ashton look right into my eyes, his deep brown ones, looking right at me. It always made me smile, and still does.
