Waking up I briefly studied my surroundings only to register there was something leaning on me. I nearly jumped when I saw Josh's face only inches away from mine . I was pretty sure my heart was beating faster than the required speed .
It slowly went back to it's normal pace when I realized he was fast asleep . I was confused until the memories of what happened quickly returned . I had fainted..... but then I remembered the whole reason why....
I like Josh .
That same feeling of confusion , fear and....affection? was all crawling back . I felt sick again as all the thoughts of how wrong what I was feeling was or what my Dad or Miss Lucy think of me if they ever found out or even though I've never liked a girl in my entire life maybe I just haven't met the right one yet or-
My thoughts were quickly disrupted when I felt Josh slightly shift beside me but seeing his chest rise and fall at a steady pace caused all my worrisome thoughts to fade .
He looked so peaceful and calm.
How could something like this be wrong? What's so wrong with this? . It's a natural feeling that I can't control why do I have to feel guilty if It's not my fault .
I liked having him close to me and I liked the thought of us being alone with no one to judge me . Honestly if there was a way to bippity boppity me to liking the first girl I lay eyes on I would gladly take it just to avoid whatever this might bring but right now I felt safe? comfortable? , whatever you might use to describe this , I didn't want to let it go.... not right now at least.
8:17am
"Rory?.....Rory?"
I was awakened to a eager looking Josh hovering above me .
"Yes?" I answered sitting up and slightly covering my mouth knowing I had quite the unpleasant morning breath.
"Ok listen keenly " he said pressing down on both sides of my shoulder . " Mr. Murphy is coming to check on you in about five minutes I need you to convince him you still feel sick , and before you say anything think about it , we could spend the whole day here just relaxing "
" We? How are you going to stay? " I spoke removing his hands slowly .
" I'll volunteer to watch over you duhh "
" No- "
" But- "
" No "
"Morning boys , can I come him?" Mr. Murphy shout whispered while knocking on the door.
" Yes sir " Josh answered.
Seeing the door open , I quickly closed my eyes and went back into my former sleeping position.
" Is he feeling any better?" I heard Mr. Murphy ask .
" I tried waking him up this morning but he just wanted to sleep " I heard him answer in a pitiful voice.
that bloody liar
Hearing footsteps I quickly but smoothly relaxed my face to make my sleeping look believable.
" Rory? "
I felt him gently shake me and took that as the prefect opportunity to wake up .
" You think you could join us today? " Mr. Murphy asked giving me a pitiful look .
" I'm not sure Sir , my head still hurts and I feel like I could throw up any second now but I could try " I lied putting on my distressed morning voice .
He was silent for a bit before finally speaking up " No It's best you stay , I'll ask the staff to check up on you every once in a while ok? "
I was going to agree but Josh spoke up before me .
" Sir I can stay with him "
" No , you've already missed out on almost an entire session yesterday "
" It's really not that important for me Sir , I'm already sure about what I want to do and where I want to study , besides Is it really safe leaving him by himself? anything could happen between those time frames of someone checking up on him , what if he faints again? . I really don't mind staying I even asked Maleek and Kile to take notes for Rory and help watch the class "
You know he would've had me until that last part.
Sir was silent once again before breathing out fine , he told us he would pay for our meals once again along with a set of rules he trusts us to maintain and with that he was off.
Once he shut the door I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding . Finally looking over at Josh he was already looking at me , a proud smirk plasted on his face . I couldn't help the smile that also slowly made it's way up to my face .
" How was that for awesome? "
" Whatever I'm going back to sleep , what you said about Maleek taking my notes better be true " I said drawing my sheet above my head and facing the other direction.
" What's that? You think I'm awesome and know you couldn't even compete? pshht " I couldn't see him but I just knew he fanned me off " Your too modest Rory.....Truthful...but modest "
This bitch-
Ignoring him I rolled my eyes knowing he couldn't see and went back to sleep.
10:09am
It was around ten something by time I was fully awake . I had already eaten breakfast and showered and now all that was left was to stare into the void filled ceiling .
Looking over at Josh , he was playing some game on his laptop but It was obvious from the way he was playing that he too was getting bored .
" I have an idea " he turned his head catching me staring.
" No " I stared back ignoring the fact that I was caught.
" how about we go on a little adventure? " he smiled.
" No , Sir distinctively emphasized on the no leaving the room rule and you know that "
" Yeah but- "
" Do you remember what happened last time or do you have the memory of a goldfish? " I said pointing to myself .
The smile quickly faded from his face " Oh Yeah , your right "
There was an awkward silence before I grabbed my phone and started making my way over to the door.
" Where are you going? "
" To commit arson , you coming? "
His smile was back as if it had never disappeared as he excitedly grabbed his belongings and rushed to open the door for me .
Rolling my eyes I took him up on the offer making sure to drag the door shut just before he could step out .
" You think your funny? " I heard him say behind me and before I knew it I was in a head lock .
