Where is My Mind?

-Isao-

What was all of that? Mai kissed me. Sure, she was drunk, but still…

I shook my head. I’m overthinking here. I need to sleep.

I collapsed onto the bed. It fell weird to be back. Maybe I should call mom again. I texted Gary earlier. He hasn’t responded back. It’s going to be a long night tomorrow. This doesn’t bother me. Mai was the problem. Would she even remember what happened? If so, how would she take it? I rubbed my forehead. I should forget about it. Forget about it and move on. I need to sleep. I drew my eyes closed.

I woke up when my phone buzzed. I grumbled as I reached over. Oh, a new text from Gary. I frowned to myself. Couldn’t he have waited until morning to reply? Let’s see… Do I reply or wait until morning? What time is it?

I lifted my head towards the clock.

Three in the morning? It didn’t feel like. I looked at my phone. I need to sleep. I flipped over my phone and went back to sleep.

-7:00 a.m.-

Time to get up. I was up and dressed now. I turned back to my phone. Oh yeah. There was a text. Let’s see what Gary said. I picked up my phone and looked at the screen.

“I miss you,” he wrote back. I smiled a bit. Heh. Good old Gary. I tapped the screen.

I looked up when I heard a knock on my door.

“Yes?” I asked.

“It’s me,” I heard Mai say. I froze. The events from last night replayed in my head. Oh… I walked over and opened the door. Mai stood in the hall, frowning.

“Uh… yes?” I asked, She looked away with her cheeks puffed up.

“Heard what you did last night,” she said. I blinked at her.

“What?” I asked. Mai cleared her throat.

“Thanks,” she mumbled. “For getting me back to my room.” I rubbed the back of my head.

“Uh… Sure. You’re welcome,” I said. “I guess…” She turned and stormed off. And that was it.

I shook my head and closed my door. I just don’t get her, man. But what can’t I get her out of my head?
