"I'm awake" I groaned as my bed alarm reminded me to get up.
Today will be a good day I told myself as I reached for my drawer, I took out my air pods and put them in my ears as I lay waiting for the song to begin (play https://soundcloud.com/samuel-finke/marlboro-nights).
As soon as I heard the music flood through my ears I jumped out of bed, a big smile on my face. I quickly grabbed my hairbrush and used it as my microphone "I don't wanna got to school tomorrow" I sang along.
I danced to the music and jumped around as energy filled me. I made my way to my closet and picked out the best outfit for today. I'm in a happy mood so I chose something light and casual.

⬆️The fit
Today is a Friday my favourite day. It also means movie night which I usually spend alone with Mall or Jackson, Mall and Austin.
Mall is my best friend she has been by my side ever since the start of high school, I mean sure we've had our ups and downs but they never lasted longer than 2 days what kind of best friends would we be without our stupid fights.
Anyway what do I say about Austin well uh... he is my friend... I guess, and we've been together twice but I finally left it at friends because the first time we didn't last even a month then he forgot and I quote "forgot" to tell his friends that we were broken up so I played along for a day and some how we stopped pretending and dated for another week before I finally decided things were awkward and we just don't go with each other so we both agreed on just friends... although I fear he doesn't get the idea of "friends".
And finally Jackson, just writing about him makes me smile so much, he has been with me since we where born and I don't mean metaphorically I mean literally, My mum and his mum had gone to Notre Dames together and shared a dorm together I mean that's how it all began. They had there share of laughs and fall outs, then they got pregnant at the same time...
He is 3 months older than me and way taller than me, he's like a pencil compared to me being one of those pencils you get in banks. We have been inseparable, our childhood kinda went like this: Monday- nursery/school together, Tuesday-nursery/school together, Wednesday- nursery/school together, Thursday-nursery/school and dinners at a restaraunt Friday-sleepover Saturday- cinema and another sleepover Sunday-sunday church and then cafe with parents. This isn't even counting what breaks and holidays where like every holiday was planned together.
You would think I'd start getting annoyed of a boy following everywhere I went as I got older but I didn't mind it he was my shoulder to cry on and I looked at him as my brother and he looked at me as his sister, although he already has one. There isn't a single thing he doesn't know about me and there isn't a single thing I don't know about him. Every time he called on me I was there within seconds and every time I called him he was there speed lightning. He knows me; sad me, stupid me, insecure me, in pain me, ugly me, happy me he knows ALL of me.
But lately some thing just isn't right every time he mentions another girl it just stings. I guess I've grown attached to him and don't see anyone other than me with him. I try to put it aside but I can't I'm starting to think that he wants to move on and spend his life with other people. I push the painful thought away as I get dressed.
I hear the usual ringtone of my phone and run to my desk. I pick the phone up its Jackson I smile and let him talk.
"Hi" he said.
"Hey, what up ?" I asked as I put my phone on speaker . School has a no makeup rule but most girls put make up on anyway, I however don't use a lot of makeup in general I just use it too spritz up my outfit or to make me glow a bit in the Oregon sun.
"Uh nothing much just wondering when your gonna be ready so I can pick you up " he says in a tired tone. I frown.
"Soon" I say mimicking his tired tone. Obviously expecting him to realise that he is angry or mad or sad I can't quite put my finger on it.
"What's wrong soph ? " he asked confused. I chuckled as I picked up my perfume bottle.
"You tell me Passaglia" I say getting a bit frustrated. I use his last name often when I know something is wrong guess its just become a code now.
" Look I just didn't get enough sleep ok?" he sighed obviously angry now. I hugh.
"I'm coming down" I say trying not to make him anymore more frustrated than he already is.
I glide down the stairs to see my mum and her new boyfriend Todd at the table eating what looks like breakfast. As I stare at it I realise Todd must have decided to make breakfast today. I then thought about the last time he made breakfast and how I was forced to eat it so without another word I grabbed my backpack "I love you " I yelled as I closed the door.
I jump in Jacksons car and see he is clearly irritated. "What's really wrong" I ask as I cup his cheeks like I always do. "Nothing" he retarts pulling away. He starts the car and we drive off.
