Oh no no no no.This wasnt happening.Maybe I didn't hear it run right.Cole is not coming back here.He can't be!
He was the cause of all my highschool problems.He was the reason why I was pushed out.Well I'm pretty sure my intoverted personality was the reason,but that's not the point.
I remember that moment like it was yesterday.
“Cole...I'm in love with you”
“.....You're joking right”
Stupid brain. Stupid thoughts.I'll just sleep it off.
I jumped into my bed and shut my eyes,but after a painful 5 minutes I woke up and decided to finish my essay test homework thing.Sleep was never my go to area.
My mind was totally on Technology and how it could change the world.This essay really thought me alot of things;like how tech has really saved lives and how it has improved education, and don't even get me started on entertainment.
After two full hours I was finally done with it.I yawned and stretched to hard that tear began to cover up my eyes.I decided to call it a night.
Somebody please close the curtains.
After about 30 seconds I got up to see the curtains not closed.Its weird mom didn't raid today.Yes,I call it the raid.She just bursts in closes the curtains for some reason and smacks my ass.
“Get up ,get up!” she'd say on top of her lungs.
If that didn't work then she'll pull my blanket off of me.Then she'll just start talking about random stuff;like how my room needs to be cleaned and how I have too many clothes on the floor or how I need to do my own laundry.
Of course,I'd just endure for about 1 minute and when she leaves I have extra 30 minutes sleep.But mom,takes it easy on me on the weekends,but if I dare to do that on weekdays...let's just say,things are gonna get dirty.
Mom says if I sleep too much it might mess up my sleep pattern and blah blah blah...I don't hear the rest of it.But today,it's like a miracle has happened or something.A miracle too good to be true.
I reluctantly get out of bed to see what's happening.I move downstairs to see Dad cooking in the kitchen.
"Wowh",we both exclaimed.
“You're cooking! that's a first!”,I say giggling.
Even though mom would usually come home late and stuff she'd prepare food for is to hear up or something,but when she didn't Dad would just prepare something easy like pancakes for dinner or Mac and cheese or he'd just order pizza.
“Well, you're up early.Did Michael Jackson come in to your room to tell you to wake up or if you slept any longer you'd be considered dead?”,Dad said with a blank face.
“Ooh.Good one Dad,but you can't beat me”,I say narrowing my eyes and taking a piece of some of the pancake he'd made.
“Where's mom,what's the occasion”,I ask after I don't notice her around.
“Oh, she's okay...she's just feeling a little nervous about her interview with Chef Gordon Ramsey.So I decided to make her breakfast...in bed”
“Aww and Eww”.I say grinning and walking out of the kitchen heading towards the stairs.
“Yeah,Yeah... whatever.Where're you going”
“To finish unfinished business”,I say winking.
“The world has returned back to normal”Dad says with a wide grin.
“Ha ha”,I say sarcastically.
