Just Friends?

Chapter 14

As I sit on the foot of my bed, I scrolled through instagram looking at what I had missed from being out of school the last few days.Alexis had a new boyfriend. And he's a hunk.
Kylie and Alexis had a sleepover.
I pull up Jays account looking to see if he posted something new, no I am not a stalker. There are no new posts and there seem to be no pictures of him and Sasha which were there before.

I look through Sasha's photos looking for any sign of Jay on her account, ugh that slut to my surprise there aren't any. I keep searching to see if maybe I missed one, but no there was no sign of them ever having a relationship. I quickly scroll back to Jay's account and look all the way to the top and check to see if his discription still has 'Sasha' surrounded by hearts, but I don't see anything to show that he is either single, or if he is in a relationship.

I feel my stomach churn, but I don't understand the reason, I can't help but hope that I was the cause.

I yawn tired of the feeling, then realize that it's nearly 11:30. I put my phone to charge and turn off the lamp that sits on my nightstand.

I place my head on the pillow face-down, as I am a stomach sleeper. I try to fall asleep, but for some reason the night seems to be when my thoughts begin to scramble through my head. Did Sasha and Jay break up, ugh stupid question. Oh shit I have so much to catch up on. My breathing starts to become heavy. Then I look on the other side of the room, to see the books that Kylie had dropped off the other day. I take a deep breath and get up.

When I'm at my desk I switch on the lamp, and I open my laptop. I begin to scroll through the list of work that has to be down.

- Read 4 chapters of The Great Gatsby

- Write an essay about why Gatsby Throws extravagant parties, and about how love can make you blind in the way that Gatsby becomes blinded.

- Finish a 30 question worksheet for Trigonometry.

I sigh and start first on the worksheet, I mostly guess. I move on to the reading stuff, but I give up and go on spark notes to get my answer. Then I think about the movie and start to base the answers on the movie.

The Great Gatsby is a very mysterious man, and at first we don't know who the heck he is. In the beginning he is brought up by one of his huge parties. I think that Gatsby continues to try the hardest he can to get Daisy's attention. Daisy was his lover back in the day when he was poor, they fell in love, but now they like on the opposite side of that lake thing...

He Grabs me and pulls my face towards his, supporting it with his palm. At first I think that it's him. As I continue to fall into the rhythm of his lips.

I feel him pull away "I love you" he breaths softly against my lips.

Then I pull away and I look at his face and see that it's not 'him', it's Alex. He looks into my eyes. I pull his face back in and begin to kiss him again, and I enjoy it.

I wake up to the sound of my alarm. I lift my head from my desk, and walk over to my dresser. My hair looks like a rats nest.

I perform my daily routine, put on my converse, and brush my hair into a bun.

"Mia!" My mothers voice trails from down the hall.

"what?" I shout.

She comes from down the hall and stands at the door, giving one of her pitiful look. "I have to pick you up early today." She says.

"mhmm" I shrug her off.

"Are you almost ready?"

"Yea." I say.
