Unknown Number

I went into my bedroom as I had finished cleaning the whole house and part of the backyard. My phone vibrated again and it was a message again.

I read with a confused tone "Are you feeling better?"

I squinted my eyes and thought about recent people that I had gave my number too. I knew I didn't recently so I didn't know who it was. I thought maybe one of my friends if they got a new phone number. I checked with all my friends and they all responded with "Go to bed and rest. Stop texting!"

I chuckled at the message as I loved how they cared for me but I never really showed them the soft side of me.

I stop chuckling as I was still back at the same thought.

I texted back the number and asked "Who's this?"

A few minutes past and no response. I stop staring at the phone and laid down. Until, I heard the car door close from outside. I grumbled at the thought of my mother already here to yell at me and I didn't get any rest.

I kind of smiled as I remembered it was Friday. So, maybe I would rest later or a little more through the weekend.

I quickly got out of bed and went to go open the front door. My mother didn't like to come home and not see someone open the door for her. I gave her a fake smile as she looked up at me from the bottom of the stairs. She just rolled her eyes as she walked past me and into the kitchen. My phone ranged in my back pocket of my pants and my heart rate speeded up quickly. I had forgotten to put it on vibrate and I knew I had to make up a lie quick.

My mother spend around faster than a tornado and asked in a angry tone "Who is it?!"

I took out my phone and acted normal. I saw a message and it said "The guy you don't care about."

I rolled my eyes as I said in my head "Suga."

I came back to reality as my mother yelled "WHO IS IT?!"

I quickly shaked the feeling off of her staring at me like she wanted to kill me and said "Oh! It's just an email."

She slammed her hand on the table and said "FROM WHO?!"

I looked at her and said "It's from Kroger. They're saying that we should take a look at their new weekly ad."

My mother turned around towards the refrigerator and said "Oh ok."

I put my hand over my heart and let out a very soft sigh as I rushed out of there.

I went into my room and giggled.

My mother didn't allow me to have friends at all she would say "In this world no one is your friend because they just want your money. They're only your friends unless your dying or in jail and they help out."

I always thought how would I know if I hadn't been through none of that. Honestly, I didn't care because they were always there for me.

I took out my phone and texted back "Which one?" Just to tease him but I knew I would regret it later on.

He didn't text back again and I got impatient. I went to my neighbors house to ask for some internet. I decided I was going to take my six hour course for my driver licenses. I was going to be going to college soon and I knew my parents wouldn't want to take me.

*3 hours later*

I came back feeling more sick as I came back inside my home and my parents were in the living room waiting.

"So, what did you make?" My father asked with concern.

I looked at him dumbfounded as he asked a dumb question for the first time in his life.

I nodded my head as I said "I only did three hours. I need three more to finish the class then I'll schedule an appointment to go take the driver test."

My father's expression turned very serious and mean as he said "You better pass! That was very expensive!"

I nodded my head as I turned to walk to my room but my mother stopped me.

She yelled from behind "Hurry up so you can eat."

I said "Ok."

*A few minutes later*

I was in the dining table eating alone as my parents watched the television.

My eyes started to get teary as I realized how lonely I was and If this would be my life forever.

*30 minute's later*

I was done eating and I was already in bed. I looked at my phone and I had a message.

"Suga." I read that and I just felt so much better.

I texted back "How did you get my number stalker?"

Surprisingly he texted back right away and said "Doesn't matter. What matter's is if your okay?"

I rolled my eyes as he sounded so nice and sweet like his name.

I texted back and said "I should be feeling better, thank you and goodnight."

He text back and said "Wow! You have manners?"

I didn't text back until the next text.

He sent another text and said "I was talking about your sad soul."

I sighed and said to myself "This guy is so weird."

I controlled my anger as I texted back "Yes! I'm fine, goodnight."

Suga text back and said "Goodnight:)"

I frowned my eyebrows as I asked myself "Why is he smiling?"

I took some medicine as I flew to sleep really quickly.

*Monday Morning*

I got to school early and thought about how I was going to get my licenses today. I knew I was going to get it since, I spent the whole Saturday and Sunday practicing. French class started and Suga was very late to class. He was barely sitting down when the bell was already ringing for the next class.

I walked out and Suga yelled from behind "Moni!"

I turned around and came to a stop.

Suga smiled and said "How you feeling?"

I looked at him serious and said "I'm doing better."

Suga smile started to fade away as he asked "Can I please see your notes?"

I nodded and said "Yeah but later." I started to walk away until he stopped me. I looked back at his hand that was holding my arm and then I looked up at his eyes.

Suga let go and said "Why are you sad? Is everything okay?"

I lost my temper and yelled "WHY DO YOU KEEP ASKING ME THAT! STOP ASKING ME WHY! I'M TIRED OF YOU THINKING THAT YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYONE! LIKE STOP INSISTING, GOSH!"

I rushed out of the crowd that I had created with my yelling but I didn't care. I was used to the people's stares. I skipped class and went to my friend Tory's class. She had art class and never did nothing in there. She couldn't even draw I don't know what she was doing in there in the first place.

Tory and the rest of the girl's knew me very well.

Tory gave me a brush and she looked at me as she asked "Want to talk about it?"

I looked at her and smiled at her innocently.

Tory raised her eyebrows and said "What did you do now? Will the cops come in here anytime soon?"

I nodded my head sideways as I giggled and said "No not this time."

Tory sighed and said "Good."

I started to sketch as I speaked to Tory.

"Suga keeps insisting that something is wrong. It's like he knows me so well but he doesn't. I yelled at him in the hallway and now I feel like poop. I feel like he's getting attached to me so I feel kind of happy I yelled at him."

Tory gasped and whispered "You like him, huh?"

I looked at her and she was already smiling like I had agreed.

I looked back at my eyeball that I drew with a tear coming down and said "It's for the best that we don't ever speak."

Tory pouted and asked in a whining way "Why?!"

I tilted my head at her and said "You know he seems so great and perfect! If he finds out how my parents treat me he's going to try to do something. We won't win against them and it will end really bad. I don't want him or myself hurt. He deserves better and not me. So, let's just leave things how they are."

Tory pouted and said "I'm already sad but I'm getting mad at your parent's again. I wish I could call the cops on them but I know you won't ever let me."

I nodded my head sadly and said "I'm glad you know why and hope he never finds out about nothing."

Tory patted my back and said "Suga won't stay down though. He's a bad boy that spits fire so, your parents better be careful."
