"NO NO!!"

I woke up sweating from this horrible dream. I thought I was lying on my bed, maybe these drugs hypnotized me until I fell asleep. I don't know what's wrong with me. I feel like I am a million miles away from myself. I have been down so many times, my parents gave up on me at a very young age, they have chosen money over me. I don't know who I really am. Maybe I will never be that person I was before. Ever since I started using drugs everything has changed. Besides the fact that I became addicted to alcohol as well , I really need help..  

And now, with Troy out of my life things will get much harder. But it's okay I can deal with every kind of situation and I will be facing  them like I did before knowing him. I am really okay with the idea of becoming heartless , plus walking a different path is not a crime. By getting rid of each and every friend of mine I will find happiness. I have to spread out all unnecessary sadness and hate.

*Troy's POV*

It was just a dream, calm down Troy. Take a deep breath. Days keep getting harder and harder but stilI can't find a way to  fight back. I'm not doing well at school and it's really bothering me. 

-Phone rings-

"Hello?" I said bringing the phone up to my ear.

"Hey honey,  how is everything?"

"Hey mom, I was just about to call you, everything is ok!." I lied. "How is grandma?"

"She is doing fine. The doctor said that she needs to stay under their control for 72 hours." She lied.

"I see. Promise me you'll take care of her."

"I promise honey. Take care of yourself as well, I need to go now. I love you." 

So Mondays are usually boring. I have to go to school and study by myself.

But this was going to be my plan for the day. It was a normal day until I met this girl called Miley in the bus station..

As I sat in the bus station, "What are you reading?"  Asked a girl in a british accent.

"Two More Lonely People." I replied.

"Oh my god! You are such a cutie." She said. " I've never met someone who have read this book in my life. But you, you seem to be special."

"Thank you" I smiled. "What is your name?" I asked.

"Miley Hermione Gilbert. Miley for short. You?"

"Well, you can call me Troy."

"Which school do you go to?" She asked.

"I go to Mckinley high school."

"I will be going there too, well I was living in London. It's my first day here."

"Welcome to New York." I said faking a laugh.

"Would you mind guiding me? I have no friends here." She asked.

"You've just made one."

"Thank you!" She said singing.

 We spent the whole day together, we went out for lunch, I showed her the whole school, we exchanged phone numbers. She seemed to be excited. We have four classes in commun , including History.

I am finally home, it was a long day. I had fun being with Miley. I will text her later to check on her.

I can say that she is a fun, honest person, very responsible and likes taking care of others. She has a very good personality and I came to trust her easily. Miley is bright, witty and fast-thinking. Not to mention how beautiful she is.

Anyways, I think it's the beginning of a new friendship. It's 9 pm and I haven't studied yet. I should hurry up.

-Phone rings-

"Hello?" 

"Hey Troy, it's me Miley."

"Hey there, Do you need any help?"

"Yes, I'm hungry is there any place where I can grab something to eat?"

"Well you know something, I'm hungry too. Would you like to come and share a pizza with me ?"

"I'd love to. I mean, do your parents allow you to bring your friends?"

"They are not home actually but yes they do allow me."

"Okay then I will be there in three minutes."

"Do you know where I live?"

"Yes, you are actually my neighbour."

"Great then."

7 minutes after hanging off the phone she knocked on my door. I felt like my heart racing, which is a weired thing. She came in, we sat in the kitchen. I took a pizza from the fridge and put it in the microwave. Took a cocke as well and served the dinner. She ate the first slice and said :

"This tastes delicious, where did you get them?" 

"You still don't know the neighborhood very well, so even though I'll explain to you any locationu you won't distinguish elsewhere,so I will show you the store tomorrow." I said. "But I'd rather enjoy your company while eating." I mumbled.

"Okay." She said smiling, pretending not to hear what I mumbled. "I think I'd better go, it's getting late and I need some rest. It's my first day here as you know."

"Yeah right, Do you want me to walk you home?" I suggested.

"If you want to." She answered smiling in a lovely way which gave me a desire of kissing her.

We walked out of the house, sharing the same steps. On our way I picked her a rose and gave it to her.

"That's so sweet of you." She blushed.

"You are home now, see you tomorrow?"

"Of course!" She said. "I had fun with you today, you made my first day way better than I thought it would be. " She said giving me a kiss as she quickly stepped back and ran to her house.

"Did she just kiss me?" Is this the beginning of a new friendship or something more, intense? I wondered.
