Billie

"Jeez Billie if you're going to leave the house at least come in a decent outfit," Cassie said complaining that I came to school in my favorite sweatshirt , sweatpants, slides and a messy low bun. I chuckled and closed my locker because the real reason I was dressed like this is because I was up all night with Eloise.

"Yeah try having a baby and staying up all night with it"

"Okay fair"

"Eloise is sick, wouldn't stop crying all night"

"Awee poor baby I hope she feels better"

"Thanks"

"I've missed you"

"You missed me?"

"Uh huh"

"What do you miss about me?"

"Don't get cocky"

"Alright fine I'll take it"

"C'mere you," she wrapped her arms my neck and pulled me into a kiss.

"I've missed you too," I said after pulling away.

"My birthday is coming up, my parents wanna meet you"

"...Do they know?"

"I've had that talk with them, you know they worry like parents are supposed to, but they support"

"That's a relief holy shit"

"You've got nothing to worry about"

"But I do I gotta make a first good impression"

"Just be yourself, but I gotta go, let's hang out at lunch?"

"Of course"

She pulled me into another kiss, said bye and then walked off to her next class. I looked over and saw that Mandy was looking over in my direction, but as soon as we made eye contact she looked away. That's when I decided I needed to stop being a pussy and holding back apologizing for what I said to her a few nights ago. I approached her and her friends of course her friends were giving me dirty looks not that I didn't deserve it.

"Hey Mandy can we talk?" I asked her and she barely made eye contact with me, I guess I really hurt her feelings. I already had enough on my plate after deciding that I was going to join a gang, feeling guilty for the way I treated Mandy who was a really sweet girl felt like something extra on My Life Is Shit list.

"I don't have anything to say to you Billie"

"Mandy please, please let's talk"

"...okay"

She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and we began walking the hall away from her friends. I could tell how awkward this was for the both of us so I made sure I got straight to the point so I wouldn't be wasting her time.

"I wanted to apologize for what I said the other night"

"Billie you really hurt my feelings"
