my mind is stuck on the events that 1st period and in turn, i zone out for the entirety of 7th. the person who sits next me bumps my leg a few times to try to get me to pay attention, but i continue going back to empty space.

"indiana."

i snap my head to where the voice is coming from. my teacher waves their hand from their desk.

"class is over. go home."

"oh yeah. sorry. i'll go now." i apologize and grab my stuff to leave. i walk to the bus loop, still in a daze.

i continue with thinking no thoughts until i get to my stop, get off, and get inside my house. i stare at my empty wall for a few minutes. or hours. i can't tell.

i get the urge to use the bathroom, so i get up to walk to my bathroom when i pass my mirror. i stop and look at myself and lock my eyes on my necklace.

my necklace.

the necklace olivia fixed.

i abruptly take it off and leave it on my vanity. i look back up to the mirror and snap out of it.

"what the hell am i doing."

i go to my bathroom and splash water on my face a few times. i use the toilet and wash my hands, making sure to scrub my hands to the point that they're red.

i walk back to my room and fish my phone out of my backpack. i'm met by a spam of messages.

i lock my phone and laugh at olivia's expense. if she's truly bored enough to talk to someone she doesn't like then she can do stuff she doesn't like. like chores or something.

i peek my lockscreen and see more notifications of olivia sending me dms. i take the folder out from my backpack where olivia's note is and add her contact.

for later. or for never.
