Euphoria

MASON

It's been a month since Helen transferred to our school and two weeks since we started meeting each other at least twice after school and also during the weekends so I could help her catch up on missed classes.

I have never really been a fan of spending time with other people outside my family but surprisingly, the time I spent with Helen this past few days doesn't feel strange at all; it was as if I've been doing this for a long time, and we've known each other forever.

It's rather strange how comfortable I am in her company considering we've only known each other for barely four weeks. Although I'm still struggling with the reason why I feel so comfortable in her presence; one thing that is clear in my mind is that, I definitely love the way I feel around her.

The more time we spent together, the more convinced I am that she is definitely more than a pretty face. She is all brain and beauty combined, that makes her very interesting. And I am not the only she has won over in such a short time; my sister likes her, my father teases me about spending time with such a beautiful girl and my mom practically rides on the 9th cloud everytime she comes around.

I think my mom loves the fact I am being friends with another girl aside from May. She told me she has never seen me so comfortable in any girl's company like I was with Helen not even May. I remember laughing at her statement without really confirming or refuting it; but I knew in my heart that she was right, no girl had ever made me feel this way.

And the fact that I am currently laying in my bed thinking about her on a weekend while I ought to reading and preparing for my class on Monday, confirms it even more. And the worst part of it is that, I don't even like doing anything to change it, I just continue lazing in bed wearing a goofy grin on my face.

I was so lost in my lazy musings that I didn't even hear my sister open the door to my room until I heard the sound of the door closing which made me turn to the direction of the door to see my sister entering into my room.

"I think I need to start locking my door to keep out uninvited guests. I said jokingly to her as she made her way to the only chair in room."

'Oh come on' Mason, I knocked but you didn't answer, so I decide to try to see if the door would open and it did. She replied jerking her shoulders playfully at me.

And I just laughed at her childish antics.

"So your highness; to what do I owe the honor of your royal visit?"

"I had plans to go out with Alice and Jenny but they kinda got held up and I'm really bored, so I thought I would spend some quality time with my favorite big brother instead. She replied with a smile."

"Your favorite big brother... Really?! I thought I am your only big brother or is there some other big brother out there that I don't know about? I asked her feigning outrage."

"Naaah... I don't think I can handle more than one big brother. She replies sarcastically."

"So... Is Helen coming around today?" She asks

"I don't know, why don't you call her number and ask her?" I answered her, resti my head on my pillow to get more comfortable on the bed.

She smiles, sticking her tongue out at me.

"Yeah well, I felt I should ask you since you're spending more time together this past few days."

"And that meant I would always know her movement?" I asked her, already getting annoyed with her.

And she must have noticed the change in my mood because she quickly change that the topic.

"I think I will just go to my room and find something to ease my boredom. She says as she stand up and turn to walk out of my room."

Yeah... Go find something or someone else to pester, I tell her as she stepped out to close the door. Glad that she is gone, I went back to what I was doing before she comes around; which was lying in bed doing nothing with thoughts of Helen on my mind.

I still can't put a name to what I'm feeling every time she is around but despite the uncertainty, I still enjoy her company more than I care to admit and always look forward to our meeting everytime.

The pinging of my phone jolts me from thought and stretched my hand out to reach for it on my reading table to see that I have a message from the object of my thoughts.

Hi Mason, I don't think I can meet up tomorrow as agreed. I have an errand to run for my mom and It might probably be late before I get back. I'll see you in school on Monday. Bye

I am really disappointed that I won't be seeing her tomorrow after reading her text because I really looking forward to spending time with but there is nothing I can do about her change of plans.

Ok, see you on Monday.

I grudgingly replied her message, returned my phone back on my reading table went back to musings. At least if I won't be seeing her tomorrow, I can console myself with the thoughts of her.

I know I shouldn't be let the thoughts of a girl distract me from what I'm suppose to be doing; but just like an addict that can't help getting hooked on his fix, I can't stop thinking about her.
