High School

One

I probably shouldn't skip today.

This thought has circled my mind since I walked into 1st period this morning but its 3rd period now and I'm sitting in the front seat of Logans truck. Logan slings his backpack into the backseat and hops in the front.

"I have work, you know that right?"
"No I didn't..." I pout as I jump out of his I truck. I walk around to his side and give him a hug. As I start walking towards the stairs to head to my class, my phone chimes.

'Colten😍: Hey baby, what are we doing this weekend?"
'Me: Hopefully eachother' I wish I would said this. My actual reply is "whatever you want baby"
I turn my phone on silent and slip it back into my pocket. I walk into English class and get out my notebook to start writing the word of the day.

'Colten😍: I'll come over after work boo. Call me after school'
'Me: Okay baby, I will'
I put my phone in my backpack so I have no further distractions but all I could think about was seeing Colten. Although it's been 2 days, he makes all my bad days better and I have a lot of those.

I walk out of English class and put my headphones in. As I'm walking, I always mouth the words and do little dances so when X comes on by 21 savage, I have no other choice but to do that. I walk into my math class and my teacher is already nagging about the Pert question of the day so I instantly get my notebook out and write it down so my teacher doesn't say any sarcastic remark like "don't feel like participating in class today?" Although I really do not feel like participating, I'm gonna do it anyway. My grades are the most important thing to me and I'm not gonna let them slip because I don't feel like solving a math problem that my teacher basically solves for me.

I grab my lanyard from my backpack and unlock my car. I toss my backpack in the passenger seat and turn the key into the ignition. I take my phone out of my pocket and text Colten that I'm on my way home and I'll call when I get there. I put my seatbelt on and put the car into reverse and slowly back out of my parking spot. The ride home is a straight shot 20 minute drive.
I pull into my driveway and turn down the radio. I dial Colten's number into my phone and give him a call.
"Hey baby I'm home"
"Okay, I'll head over soon"
"Okay, text me when you're on your way. Drive safe"
"I will baby, see you soon"
I hung up the phone and grabbed my bag and keys then got out of my car and walked towards the house. I walk into my house and set my bag on the counter. I put my phone on the charger then walked upstairs to my room. I open my door and slip off my shirt and walk towards the dresser and grab a t shirt and some shorts from the drawer. I walk to my night stand and grab my book and weed etc. marijuana, bud, then go and grab a blunt and head back to the kitchen. I set the stuff on the kitchen table then grab a cup from the cabinet and fill it with ice and water. I go back to the kitchen table and sit down in the chair. I open the blunts, white peach white owl, and start splitting it. I put the blunt guts in the garbage then start breaking up the weed. Colten strolls in the front door with a Red Bull. I set the half rolled blunt down and stand up to hug him and he grabs my chin and kisses me. I sit back down and finish rolling the blunt as Colten's telling me about his day.
"The hospital was so busy all day." He says as he attempts to rolls his eyes.
"I'm sorry babe but let's go smoke this" I say as I get up and head to my room. I sit on my bed and open my laptop and Colten takes his shoes off then lays down on my bed next to me. I log into Netflix and we toss movie ideas around. We never really get to the movie part because Colten can't keep his hands off me, but I can't keep mine off him either so he isn't the only problem.. He's so good looking, I wish I could stare at him all day. Is that weird?
I light up the blunt and hit it 2 or 3 times then pass it to Colten. When the blunt is over with, Colten says "I have to go, I'll see you tonight or tomorrow?"
"I guess" is always my response. I get off the bed and walk him out, he kisses me then heads to his Nissan Altima.

I didn't see Colten last night and I have no plans on seeing him today but I attended school today and it was very boring. Me and Colten argued a bit..
"I don't wanna lose you. You don't know how much you mean to me." He said. I had no intentions on leaving him.. He made me so happy.
I turned in all of my late assignments then decided to leave school early because I just wasn't feeling it. I got home and went straight to my room and fell asleep.

The next day I wake up for school and Colten texts me and says "Goodmorning boo" which is normal and I reply with "morning, why didn't you reply last night?" Because I was honestly so curious why he stopped in the middle of an important conversation. I walk into my lunch room and set my bag on the table and wait for my friends to join me. I asked Olivia for a charger & set my phone under the P.O.S station that the lunch ladies use. I let it charge for about 30 minutes and then go to check if Colten replied.. and I was happy to see that he did but sad to read what his reply was..

"Taylor I don't think this is working out.."
