All night i was tossing and turning in my sleep, tried fluffing up my pillow for some kind of comfort but it didn't seem to work. I even got up and cracked open my window maybe some kind of night breeze to make me fall asleep. But that didn't seem to work either. This is so unlike me, i don't know whats keeping me up. I finally managed closing my eyes then sleep overcame me.

While i slept, i find myself caught up in a dream; a weird dream. Its déjàvu -like. More like one of those dreams where i was sucked out of actual, physical environment and set to be playing the events that already happened over again. More like recounting episodes in every detail. I had the most creepiest feeling that i have been there before -- It was from Josh's party.

~~

The next morning i dragged myself into the kitchen to find my mother pouring scrambled eggs onto the plate at the counter, then she looked up when she spotted me. "Good morning, honey. I've just made you breakfast." She smiled brightly but then noticed my tired looking state. "Did you sleep well?"

I shook my head not bother to answer, as i took a seat at the counter in front of my plate of scrambled eggs with diced red bell pepper and cheddar cheese melt, bacon, sausage links, a jam toast and a glass of orange juice. Man, she can make sure i'm full before i leave for school. Everything smelled delicious, as much as i want to eat i didn't have the appetite. "You know what, mum i'll pass."

My mum looked up with furrowed eyebrows while she poured herself coffee in her travel mug to take with her to work. "What? Whats wrong with you? I went through all that trouble to make you a perfect hot breakfast and you're not going to eat?" She said placing the coffee back onto its maker.

"Sorry, just not in the mood." I muttered.

I heard her let out a sigh. "Its okay. You're about to leave, at least have something in your stomach you're going to be in school all day. And besides lunch won't start until -- what? Eleven something?" She say taking a sip from her mug, her eyes on me.

"Eleven thirty. But don't worry, i'll eat a little something before i go." I said getting up from the counter.

"You are?" She asked.

I grabbed the jammed toast from my plate and took a large bite into it. "Yup. I have to go Perrie's, she's waiting on me to pick her up." I said my voice muffled while munching on toast. "See you when i come home from school." I kissed my mother on the cheek.

"Okay. Have a good day." My mother called out.

I finished the rest of my toast when i stepped outside going towards my car. Thats when i spot a familiar car about coming down the street as soon it came close thats when i locked eyes with Luke, we sort of gave each other a glare and then he took off. I shook my head, mumbling profanities under my breath getting inside sticking the keys into the ignition and starting it up, all of a sudden i thought back to the dream i had last night i don't know what that was about. Shaking my head at the thought i backed out the driveway, and drove to Perrie's.


[At school]

"Babe, i'll see you later." Perrie say as she leaned up and pecked my lips. As she walked off to class with Jesy, thats when i felt Niall nudged my arm.

I looked over at Niall to see him nodding his head in a direction, i followed his gaze and we were looking at Luke and Gabriel at her locker in smiles. Niall was saying something but i didn't pay attention too busy staring at my former friends, then i felt myself fuming when Luke placed a kiss on her cheek; and she blushed. 

"Zayn."

I turned to see Niall looking at me. "I'm about to head to class. I'll see you in lunch, yeah?"

"Sure." I said.

Niall went off to class and i took another glance to see Luke already went to class and Gabriel going in her locker. It felt as if i was spying on her, watching her every move. I wanted to approach her but i stayed where i was, she shut her locker and went down the hall. And soon i took the opposite direction to my class.

When she reached the door to the bakery, she walked right into the warmth and was greeted by the scent of what smells like yeast, cinnamon, and coffee. The bell on the door rung when she stepped inside, she could see no one at the counter. Thats when Pamela coming from the back appearing at the counter. 

"Pam, hi. I just came by to pick up what i've ordered." Trish say pulling out cash from her wallet to pay for what she ordered.

"Forty eight batches of cupcakes. I have them right here." Pam going behind the counter and set a large white box onto the counter and accepted the cash from Trish and giving her change back along with a receipt.
