After my volunteering, I decided to take Mason home. He'd told me how he walked all the way over here and I felt bad since I had a car so I decided to give him a ride home. When we arrived, I stared in awe at how grand it looked, it was practically a mansion. I wonder why he goes to a public school when he could've gone to a prestigious private school and also why he doesn't even have a car.

"Nice house." I complimented.

"Thank you, it's all my parents money, I know you're probably wondering why I go to a public school if I'm rich and it's...been there done that. Those kids and I are extremely different let me just say. They're flashy with money and so self absorbed. I've dealt with them my whole life so I just wanted a normal high school experience for once you know? And also I'd drive to places but driving a lambo to school of all places?"

"I mean I don't know what that's like but I get you, I've watched some of those movies and if I was in any of those characters positions I don't think could last. I'd probably be bullied out."

"Who'd bully such a pretty face like you? I'm sure it's pure jealousy more than anything." Compliments, well done Mason.

"Trust me a lot of people have bullied me. It's something I've had to just deal with but I'm kinda over that shit it's in the past."

"I admire your ability to 'move on' so quick."

"Why is the 'move on' in quotes."

"Because, going through a breakup must have been difficult and you don't just get through that type of shit so easily. You're still hurting, I know that. It's ok to still feel that. You're human."

"Sometimes I wish I wasn't so I wouldn't have to feel. My emotions can get pretty powerful so I just shut it off and it's so easy because I learnt how to master my mind to push it all away. It's bad I know I know." Why am I unloading all of this to him?

"I'm glad you acknowledge how bad that is, you're very interesting Liana you know that right?"

"I've been told once or twice. Thanks for the compliment you're not bad yourself. Now I do have a sister waiting for me at home, I think she misses me a lot but could I grab a number by chance?"

"Of course." He agreed and we swapped phones exchanging numbers. With that he was out of my car, into his mansion and my happy jolly self was on the way home to tell my sister absolutely every detail of today.

. . . . .

When I got home, me and my sister began talking about the whole day. I told her about the break up and how I felt like I was getting a bit closer to Mason.

"So you like him?" Blair asked.

"Maybe. It's too early to tell I like his vibe though."

"He's got one of those pretty boy faces you know? But I think he'll be good for you. I have news about you know who?"

"Let me take a guess, you're back with mr troublesome cheater kai?"

"Well you're quite smart."

"And you're quite dumb." With that comment, she threw a pillow in my face. I threw up a middle finger at her thanking her for her lovely middle finger earlier on.

"You see that's why you're middle finger looks like a burnt unicorn." She commented.

"You know what." I threw my pillow up at her starting up a pillow fight between us. I love my sister, she's been my day 1 and since she's 5 minutes older she's been practically like my mother figure but to be honest I think it's weird to think of it that way.

. . . . .

Before going to sleep, I received a text from Mason.

________

Unknown -

Hey, it's Mason.

Me -

Well hello Mason, what are you up to?

*Name changed to M*

M -

Nothing much I was just day dreaming abt you. Would you want to do a call? I'm not a big texter.

Me -

Me neither, give me a sec?

M -

Ofc

________

Why is his name m? Because his full name puts him out there as someone to look out for, I'm not trying to give him a free space in my mind. I asked him for a second so I could just to check that my sister is asleep so she doesn't snoop and sneak her way into me and masons convo, speaking from past experience. After I checked, I looked back at my phone and pressed the call button waiting for him to answer the call.

. . . . .

Throughout the whole call, me and Mason just laughed and joked and all in all got to know each other better, I must say he's a good guy. A guy I may or may not see my self with. He reminded me of me and only a few people have reached that spot so congrats to him. I stayed up way longer than expected but quite frankly, it was all worth it.
