The first week of school flew by and the weekend was finally here. Thank god. I was so excited to stay in bed all day and sleep. A week of being surrounded by rowdy, aggressive teens was more than I can handle. They might be the same age as me but I really didn't fit in. I was nowhere near their level. While they were screaming and running in the halls, enjoying their day, I was trying to stay under the radar and trying not to panic over the slightest thing.

Considering it being my first week back at a public school, the past 5 days weren't that bad. As shitty as the constant anxiety and fear was, I made it through the week unscathed. I had even made friends with two really cool people that I would never even expect to notice me.

Sian and Nathan surprisingly kept talking and hanging out with me. They were fun and interesting. Despite Nathans intimidatingly jock qualities, he was a real dorky guy. Sian looked like she would be a cold person but she was nice and extremely caring. She seemed to understand my anxiety and would speak up for me in awkward situations which I was thankful for.

I rolled over in bed and grabbed my phone to check the time. 11:23am

I haven't been able to sleep in this late since school started. It was great, I finally felt well rested for the first time in a week. I rolled onto my back and stared out the window next to my bed. It was the beginning of September and it was already cold outside. During the night and sometimes early in the morning, it would lightly snow but no luck today. The weather was still nice though. Clouds covered the sky and there was a cold breeze swaying through the leaves.

I should get up, stretch, and go grab some breakfast but my body felt glued to the warmth of my blanket. I wish I never had to leave bed. I would live a very content life wrapped up all day long doing nothing.

My stomach let out a grumble, declaring it's emptiness. I placed my hand over it and felt the vibration of the growls.

I was about to surrender and go grab some food when my phone buzzed next to me. I picked up the phone and checked the message, surprised to see that it was from Sian.

when am i picking you up babe?

Oh shit. I was so distracted about not having to go to school that I completely forgot I had agreed to hangout with Sian and Nathan today.

My chest felt tight. I am not prepared for this. I don't even know what we're gonna be doing. They said they wanted to show me something but I had no idea what.

I hope we don't go somewhere crowded, I had enough of that lately and I still have to deal with it for the rest of the school year so I'd like to avoid unnecessary social settings as much as possible.

I groaned, thinking about all of the possibilities. Maybe I should tell them I don't feel good, then I won't have to go. They'll probably know I'm lying and think I'm lame though.

Fuck. It's fine. I need to do more social things anyway. I'll just stay calm and act normal.

Why do they want to hang out with me anyways? I'm awkward and boring and they're so much cooler than me. They probably think I'm a joke.

I looked back at my phone and chewed my nail. What do I say? I need to say something soon or she'll think I'm leaving her on read.

Whenever is fine

I reread the message contemplating whether I should send it or not. Okay it's whatever.

I hit send and put my phone down and not even a minute later I got a text back.
