Engorged

Chapter 2: introverted personality

Days have gone by since the day at the beach and I've really been enjoying my break with Anna kinda hoping it never ends. We'd spend days at my house or at her house talking and laughing. Even though i know Anna wanted to be out and about showing off her tan i really appreciated how she made so many sacrifices to insure i was comfortable.

Today we are at Annas house. Sitting on opposite sides of the couch in the tv room next to the kitchen, both of us glued to our phones we'd text each anything we thought the other would appreciate.

"Why do you guys hang out if you're just gonna text anyway?" a sleepy voice said and i raised my head from my phone only to see Michael's coming down the stairs. He was in some baggy black sweat pants and a very fitted white vest shaping his torso just right my throat immediately went dry and i gulped trying to moisturize it. His blode curls disheveled and blue eyes barely open. I didn't realize i was staring until his eyes met mine and i quickly returned my gaze to my phone.

"Maybe you should get friends then you'd understand" Anna answered without even looking away from her phone. Michael just blew air from his mouth and went straight to the fridge, took out the milk carton amd started opening it.

"There are glasses on the second shelf to your right dumbass" Anna said still glued to her phone. Michael shrugs and drinks straight from the carton with out so much as a second thought. At some point i realize im staring again feeling like a creepy stalker looking through the window i turn back to my phone.

"Yo ann have you decided? you know party is this weekend right?" Michael says wiping off his mouth with the back of his hand. He closes the milk and puts it back in the fridge i can't help but cringe. Anna stops what she is doing on her phone and stares at the air above her phone then her eyes land on me and her face lights up.

"Sammy.." she says dragging it out the way she always does when she wants something and i somehow just wanted to leave so that i didn't know what she wanted, that way i didn't have to say yes because i didn't have the nerve to say no to my best friend and disappoint her like that.

" Since our parents are leaving for that double weekend away thingy" she says waving her hand in the air and i nod knowing she really didn't pay attention when we were being told she probably stopped listening at away.

"Well Mike wants to throw a small party not really a party more of a gathering" she points at Michael who is leaning against the kitchen counter with a little smirk watching us.

" I thought we could attend. Its going to be fun. We can go shopping the during day and we can invite the girls so we can all get dressed here." she releases a loud squeal her eyes looking dreamy. It takes a while but she finally comes back down to earth and looks at me intently. i can see that she really wants this, i guess she might be bored from just sitting here everyday with me.

That does sound like fun not my kinda fun but fun. "Im in" i said quietly. Anna starts jumping up and down squealing "yes" over and over again.

Why did we have to invite the girls. Dread takes over my joy of seeing anna happy. Jessica,Monica and Veronica

i didn't like them much, not because they are horrible people i just don't want to acquaint myself with people who wouldn't be or i didn't want in my life forever. Plus they always feel like they are Annas friends and not mine. Everytime they'd invite Anna to things and she'd ask me to go with.

Anna realises im not saying anything while she plans everything. She looks at me concerned.

"we dont gotta go if you dont wanna... we can just sleepover at your house and binge watch horror movies" she says smiling softly at me. Thats why i love her no matter how much i think im invincible she sees me ,everything nobody notices she sees.

Michael scoffs at the kitchen pouring himself cereal in a bowl.

"What?!" i ask whipping my head in his direction annoyed . Anna looks at him too tilting her head with one eyebrow raised . He touches his chest faking shock and hurt . Anna rolls her eyes and returns her gaze to me but im not about to let it go.

"What?" i say more stern and calmer my eyes looking straight into his. He sees my seriousnessand drops the act and goes to the fridge and takes out the milk again.

"i just think that was a dumb thing for ann to do knowing full well given the choice which one you would choose." He rolls his eyes and and pours milk into the cereal. Some milk getting on his finger of the hand that was holding the bowl.

"Your introverted personality just sucks" he finishes licking his fingers. He is so messy and disgusting

My face giving me away. " what?" he says flashing that ridiculous smile of his

He grabs his bowl and leaves.

"Don't mind him sam he is just a d**k and i mean it we can skip the party." she says looking sympathetic

"No... i do . i actually do want to go" i say putting on my best forced smile Anna comes closer so that we are shoulder to shoulder then goes back to her phone and i follow suit.
