*Present*

She heard her mutter a few times to herself, something about phones being a disease. She was deliberately emotionally unattached to her phone, knowing full well from the moment she received it, it could disappear out of the blue at any moment.
But she did not expect this.
She came home that day to find her phone locked with a pass code. She'd never needed to lock her phone, because she had nothing to hide.. Or at least, she was skilled in wiping her tracks. Plus a lock would only make her parents suspicious.
And now, she had a put a lock on it?
She immediately stomped to the next room, and barged in.
"What is this?"

"If you need to use it, come to me. I'll unlock it for you.", her mom scowled.

What in the world

"What?"

"Why? Do you need it now?"

"Yes!"

She handed it over, and to her surprise, she gave it back unlocked.

Yoyo ran to her room & quickly logged out of Wattpad & Pinterest. She switched the micro SD to a new one so she would have her songs and photos.

Who does she think she is to invade my privacy like that?

She let out a huff of laughter as it hit her. She was trying to see if I'm doing the things she did.

She felt a lump forming in her throat and angry tears that threatened to fall.

I'll never be anything like her

*2013 - continued*

"Oh my, check out that hottie", Kavi whispered, pointing at a group of guys a few rows in front.

"Wait, which one?"

"That one!" She pointed discreetly.

Yoyo had to confirm.

"That one?" She said a little too loud while pointing at the guy to her right.

And it was at moment, that boy, not much taller than her, looked back.

He raised an eyebrow questioningly. She had no idea how to respond; it was the first time she was facing this dilemma. He waited a few moments and then slowly smirked at her before nudging the boy next to him.

She looked down at her book quickly, not wanting to know what happened next.

The class continued, rather uneventfully after that. Soon it was time to go.

She gathered her things and headed out the door with her friends. They waved goodbye, and she made her way to her father's car waiting in the lot right out front. She got in the front and fastened her seatbelt.
As they pulled out of the lot, suddenly she found herself looking into a pair of brown eyes that were watching her from nearby. She noticed the smirk again and cursed silently under her breath.

Oh I am in so much trouble.
