I placed my bag in between my feet before unlocking the door and walking in to dark apartment I shared with my parents.

I placed my bag into the hall and locked the door. It was dark so I switched on the lights.

m: I'm home! 

I had talked to Luke on the bus for what felt like ages. A smile was formed on my lips as I read his reply.

l: cool now we can talk moreee :-)

m: we can!

l: tell me something about uuu?

m: my name's Mia and I'm 17 years old 

l: I know your name I'm 18 :)))

I realized that he had somehow figured out what my Kik was.

m: how did u find my kik btw

l: found your kik on Instagram and thought you were cute

m: but I'm not lol

I smiled at my screen placing it next to me on the kitchen counter making myself some hot chocolate. 

l: how's weather in, where do you live again?

m: Melbourne, it's okay just typical autumn weather

l: wait, Melbourne Australia?

m: no Melbourne on saturn ;)

l: oh bc I live in Sydney

m: cool! glad you don't live on the other side of the world, just the other side of the country.

l: yea yay!

m: so what r u up toooo

l: nothing just sitting in my window

m: how does one sit in a window

l: mom made some sort of chill spot in my window

m: send a pic!

l: can't camera broke yesterday

m: oh that sucks

I took a sip of the hot chocolate I just made. I laid upside down on the couch and watched the news getting multiple messages from Luke.

l: yea it does

l: yo

l: fck I tripped over my own feet ouch

l: mia hi? help I can't get up

l: I was joking, I did get up

m: sorry luke was watching tv, did you hurt yourself?

l: uh regular, pair of eyes, nose, mouth

m: do you have not regular things in your face too then?

l: lip piercing and my third eye

m: now i'm terrified

l: you don't like piercings?

m: I do like them, have one myself too. Just worried about your third eye :0

l: :-) my third eye is totally okay, what about your face

m: I have two eyes, one nose, two eyebrows (do you have those or?) lips, mouth, two ears  one on both of the sides of my face, teeth in my mouth, and an eyebrow piercingggg but I really want small plugs

l: no lost my eyebrows in a pillow fight

I giggled.

m: poor you, hope you find them back soon

I smiled, Luke was extremely funny. I yawned my parents still weren't home. I felt so alone, but luckily Luke was interested in me.

l: hey I figured they have grown back on!

m: :)

l: what have you been doing today

m: school, music store, home

l: music store? are there music stores in Melbourne?

m: yea lol you live in Sydney anyways.

l: yeah :/

m: I want to see your third eye

l: my camera broke mia

l: sorry

m: I know :((

I heard the sound of a key opening the front door and footsteps. I was relieved knowing my dad was home safely. I maybe was a bit overprotective, but he usually wasn't this late.

"Dad!"

"Mia! Why are you not at your dorm?" Dad asked me. I wrapped my arms about his tall body.

"People there are mean, you are not. And I'd rather sleep in my own bed."

"Do they bully you?"

I nodded slowly.

"It's not really bad."

My father nodded moving to the kitchen to make them dinner. He didn't mention the bullying later on at all.

"Is mom eating at home with us?" I asked my father. He shook his head.

Dad looked away from me. Avoiding any other contact.

I went back throwing my body back on the couch.

l: u okay? where r uuu?

m: dad's home bye luke :) sleep well tonight

l: bye mia you too

l: :-)
