After another week, it was the second week of August. This summer had not been going as good as I though it would, but still. Cam had finally left for Chicago this week, who knew how long until he would be back? I had to leave the first week of September, and school started the second week of September. Two and a half more weeks here.
I was not ready to go back to that life. It was my Junior year, after this, one more, then I’m out of there. I would leave, I never planned on looking back.
I was running up the apartment steps, and I was in a great mood. Actually somewhat happy. My phone buzzed in shorts pocket, and I pulled it out.
From: Casen
You busy tonight? I’ve been missing you!
I smiled slightly, he was such a nice guy. Sure, why not.
To: Casen
Nope! What ya got in mind?
I hoped he didn’t want to go out anywhere, I hated crowds and he even knew it. I wanted to stay in tonight, but I guess I can’t say no to him. He’s like, super sweet. My phone buzzed again, damn he responded fast.
From: Casen
Let’s stay home and have pizza and cookies ?? Movies ??
Well shit, the boy knew me good. That was literally the perfect night for me. I know, cheesy, typical teenage girl. He would make it perfection though, gosh now I was excited.
To: Casen
Yeah! Come over soon !
I had to take a shower, my hair was tied up in a huge knot on top of my head. I jumped in, and did my best to hurry. I didn’t need to be naked when he got here. That probably wouldn’t work very good. I put on one of Cam’s plain grey t-shirts, they were so much softer than the women’s brand, and black Nike shorts. I don’t dress up for guys. I let my hair be, I didn’t have time to do it. No makeup, that would work. If he can’t deal with me looking like this, then he’s not for me.
Well, I didn’t really mean that. I mean I did, but I wasn’t looking for someone right now. It wasn’t that I was still into Shawn. I just didn’t want another guy right now. I was done falling for guys, then being crushed. I didn’t want to put myself through it. This wasn’t even a date, just two friends pretty much. I was ordering pizza when I heard a soft knock at the door.
I quickly finished the order, and moved over to open it. In stepped Casen, dressed in sweatpants and a t-shirt. There we go, lazy day. He smiled at me, and pulled me into a warm hug. He smelled like the sun, mixed with salt. He must of been at the beach today. It was a good smell on him, though.
“LET’S EAT!” He shouted, giving me a smile. I nodded and gestured towards the television. I loved movies, like more than the usual person. He nodded, and sprinted to the couch, which he lied himself out on. His feet nearly reached the end, he was that tall. I quickly picked a movie from Netflix and considered where to sit.
There were two couches, but across the room from each other, and I wasn’t going to sit on the last two inches of his couch. Um, okay. He patted on the space left on the couch he was on. His back was against the back of it, leaving about six inches along the front. There was no way I’d fit in the small space. He rolled his eyes, and pulled at me on my waist, making me fall back onto the couch. I did fit, but I was pressed against him entirely. I knew he smiled behind me, as he pulled me even closer. His stomach was flat against my back. Woah. Oh well, didn’t really bother me. I sure wasn’t going to pull away, so I got comfortable on the couch as the movie started playing.
The next day, I woke up to my phone buzzing on the night stand next to me. It was my alarm, 10:00 a.m., time to get my lazy ass out of bed. I was actually trying to get back in the routine of getting up early. Or earlier. Or earlyish. I just had to get back in the routine of getting up before noon. School ruined everything. I groaned, and rolled out of bed, onto the floor. I could just stay here all day, at least I got out of bed technically. I smiled to myself, and stood up. I was hungry as could be. I had ate half of the pizza last night, but I was still hungry.
I could eat a lot if I tried. I grabbed a box of donuts I had picked up yesterday, and grabbed one. They were all cinnamon with vanilla glaze, my favorite. I bit down, and ate it in seconds. Dang, I needed to stop eating. Or not. I grabbed another, and quickly finished. Now I was done. I changed my clothes, and brushed through my messy hair. I should have tied it back last night, but I fell asleep on Casen, and he had carried me to bed before saying goodnight and leaving. He was such a sweet guy, I had a great time. I know, that sounds pathetic, but that’s what it was. A great time. I didn’t fall in love or anything, but… it was a great time.
I opened the curtains in the living room, and looked at the city. There weren’t many people outside, but I saw the beach out in the distance, and it looked like it was full. Sure wasn’t going there today. I didn’t feel like doing much anyway, big surprise right? I sat down next to the window, and watched traffic flow next to the beach. So many people, with so many different jobs. Going so many different places. It was crazy to think how different someone’s life could be from yours. I sighed. I got the familiar feeling of being stuck, I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know what I had to look forward to in my life. There wasn’t much. School to start? No. To graduate? Somewhat. What after that?
I was sitting there an hour later. Thoughts were consuming my mind, all I could do was stare at the city. I heard a knock at the door. What? Maybe it was Matthew? Casen? I slowly got up, and opened it.
“What’s up? Thought maybe we could just hang out again today? It’s okay if you’re sick of me.” Casen laughed and propped himself against the frame of the door. Really? I just saw him last night. I sure hope he wasn’t into me, I didn’t want him to think I was falling for him too. I just nodded and gave a small smile, I didn’t want to be rude to him.
“Great! By the way, that pizza was amazing last night, I’m, like, going to buy that company!” He laughed and walked inside as I shut the door behind him. It was good pizza. I smiled and went back to my spot next to the window. We could hang out, but I wasn’t going to entertain him.
