i woke up and it was pitch dark out.
i turned over to look at my clock.
12:00 am

"robert"

"hmm"

"it's twelve"

"what!?"
he quickly got up and started putting his shoes on.

"i have to go. my mom is probably scared to death right now."

i walked him to his car.
he left and i went back to my room.
shit. i have homework.
i quickly got my backpack and searched for whatever homework i had.
i don't want to do this.
i pulled out my phone and began texting kairi.

•text•

can i copy your geo hw?

umm, sure

thanks!

•end•

he sent me a picture of the homework and i copied.
i fell asleep straight away.

i woke up the next day early and ready for school.
the day went by pretty fast and really boring.
when i got home a box was at the door.
i picked it up and walked in.

"mom?"

she wasn't home.
i walked into the kitchen and sat at the island. i put the box on the table in front of me.
"to naka" it said on the top.
on the inside was a stuffed animal and a letter.
i set the stuffed animal to the side and opened the letter.

"dear, naka, i love you. i wish i could tell you in person but i just don't have the guts to completely spill it out. you're gorgeous and are so sweet. i want to be yours and for you to be mine but that's for another day.

xoxo, secret admirer."

secret admirer?

a nock on the door startled me.
i walked over and hesitated before opening it.

"hola"

"mrs polibio? um hi!"

"is your mom home?" she asked in a nervous type way.

"um no"

"do you know when she will be?"

"no, why?"

"oh, because i just wanted to check in and see how she's doing." she said awkwardly smiling.
"anyway, mattia is in the car and i was wondering if he could stay here with you while i go run errands."

"um-  well... i mean. its really up to him."

"great!"

she turned around and looked at the car and gestured a hand to get out of the car.

"thank you so much, naka"

"no problem!"

mattia walked in and his mom left.
he went straight to the kitchen and made himself at home. he already knew where everything was because he had been to my house a thousand times before.

"what's this?" he said with a mouth full of food pointing at the box, letter and stuffed animal.

"i don't know. it was at my door when i got here."

he read it then walked away not caring at all.
he plopped himself on the couch and turned on the tv. i walked over and sat on the couch text to him.
he began shifting his body to face me.
then, he just stared.
