Girl. Love. Girl.

It's Monday afternoon and I'm in math class, completely zoning out as

Mr. Bates goes on about the differences between obtuse and acute

triangles. As I feel my eyes shut, I also feel something tap my

shoulder.







When I turn my head to see who it is, Mr. Bates gives me an annoyed

look and says, "Miss Morris, I'm glad that you find my voice soothing

enough to fall asleep to, but I'd really be glad if you could stay

awake and pay attention."







"Sorry." I say with an apologetic smile.







He nods and continues on with the torture...I mean lesson. Soon after,

the bell rings signaling the end of the day has finally come.







'Work time.' I say to myself as I walk to my car. When I put my

backpack into the passenger seat I feel something vibrating in my

pocket. A text from Mya. A huge smile appears on my face as I read:

"so how much did u think about me during ur fun day at school?"







'More then I can tell you.' I think as I reply with: "eh, not very

much. lol"







After a few moments, and I do mean moments because I barely stuck the

key in the ignition, I get my response.







"aw don't lie. i know you were missing me! :)"







Honestly, I have no idea how we went from barely speaking to each

other to having conversations like this. It was only one ordinary,

well, semi-ordinary weekend. But I guess life is funny like that.



Before I pull out of the school parking lot and head to the gym, I

write back: "ok maybe i did miss you a little bit. now im going to

work. lots of time to miss u there too. =)"







By the time I arrive to work, I look down at my phone and see there is

another message from my dream girl.







It reads: "haha well have fun at work. and dont worry, youre not the

only one missing someone here ;)"







And with that, I'm in a totally awesome mood. I don't even mind

working an extra hour when I find out one of the guys called in sick.

As I'm pulling up at my house, I see my moms car and smile. It'd been

so long since I got to see her that I literally ran into the house and

called out her name like a little kid would do.







"Mom!"







"In here, honey." She calls out from the kitchen.







I see her hovered over the stove, cooking what looks to be some kind

of pasta dish. The smell alone was enough to make my mouth water.







"Mmmm, what are you making?" I ask as I set my bags on the counter and

walk towards my mom.







"Chicken stir-fry. It's an 'I'm sorry for not being around lately'

dinner."







"Aw mom, that's okay. I know you have to work late and take care of

Uncle Rory. But I did miss you," I say as I give her a hug.







She kisses my forehead and says, "Thanks honey. You are definitely one

of my favorite daughters."







I start laughing and say, "mom, you only have two."







"Oh yeah," she says as she winks at me, "well, let's eat."







"Yum!" I say, grabbing two bowls and setting them on the table.







********







It's after 11:00pm when I finally get into bed.







'Today was a good day,' I think to myself as I begin to drift off to

sleep, 'yay, and tomorrow I get to see Mya!'







Then, almost as if on cue, I see my phone light up and hear it beep.

When I slide it open, a grin forms on my face.







"sweet dreams. see you tomorrow! xoMYAxo"







Yeah, don't think I too didn't notice the "XO."







'Hugs AND kisses, huh?' I think to myself with a bigger smile, 'nice.'







I reply back with something short but sweet: "sleep tight."







About twenty minutes later, I'm asleep and dreaming of all the

wonderful things that could happen in only a few hours when I see the

girl I've missed so much. Yay for school!
