ICE CREAM [ completed ]

Twenty-Two

Needless to say, I don't get any sleep.

By the time 6am rolls around and I go for my jog, I am already delirious and unstable with tiredness. I don't know why I let this kid consume my head the way he does. But it's too strange, and too coincidental. It's only been a week and a half and Jungkook is seriously the biggest distraction I've ever had in my entire life.

Maybe I'm worried...

It's hard to tell. I don't tend to worry for people, and I don't want them to worry for me. I usually take things with a grain of salt and a big shrug of my shoulders. Shit happens, and then we get over it and keep on breathing. I've had friends and boyfriends come and go, and I've been with them through their own struggles with growing up. But there has always been a small void in my heart...as if some part of me is uncaring, or undeserving.

My jog feels like eternity. I'm not even sure if I made two laps before I end up back at my apartment. I grab my books for school and decide to walk the rest of the way in hopes of waking up a little more.

I check my phone on the way -- Jungkook hasn't viewed my messages at all.

When I reach campus and head to the gym to clean up before classes, I pull out the strange Polaroid from my pocket and give it another look. I sigh heavily, feeling some sort of imaginary weight on my shoulders that I didn't even know could exist. Staring at this picture is like trying to solve some stupid puzzle in a video game. It has to mean something, but what?

I pull a bandanna under my ruffled black hair and get dressed in normal attire, then throw the rest of my stuff in the locker.

I accidentally fall asleep in my first class. I'm only awoken because I forgot to silence my phone and it's going off like crazy. Eventually the professor gives me a scolding glare and I excuse myself to go outside. The sun hits my eyes annoyingly as I cover the screen with my hand to view the messages.
