Constellations

nine

I peeled my face off of the leather couch and lifted my head up. My eyes slowly adjusted to the dark room and I could vaguly make out a few shelves and a screen.

Memories of last night flooded into my head. I smiled remembering that Austin was in my house. My house!! I then remembered Charlie was with us too.

Where are they?

Oh crap! I face palmed myself. I fell asleep and left the two of them alone. I stood up from the couch and oh elegantly stumbled to the door.

Light flooded in as the door creaked open. I ran up the stairs and looked at the oven to see what time it was. The clock read 9:30.

My head snapped back to re-check the time. Oh my heck today is Wednesday and I am really late to school!

I ran upstairs and into the bathroom. I pulled of my dirty cloths and took a quick shower. I looked at myself in the fogged up mirror and realized my face looks awful!

I looked in my closet for something semi decent to wear and came up with a pair of black skinny jeans a white t-shirt and a baggy grey jacket. It will have to do.

I went back into the bathroom and threw my wet hair into a messy bun because who has time to do any thing with their hair when it takes like 5 years to dry. I applied foundation to my face and neutral lipstick.

I then proceeded to paint on a thin layer of eyeliner and coat my eyelashes with mascara. I gave myself one more look in the mirror and left with approval of how I looked.

I ran down the stairs and picked up my backpack and put all of last nights home work inside. As I was grabbing my binder I heard the front door open and then slam shut.

I turned and behind me stood Charlie. He was holding a bag of what looked like food and a cup holder containing coffee fo the two of us.

"Your up already?" He says with a grin on his face.

"You knew I was asleep this whole time and you didnt wake me up!" I shouted at him. Why would he do that to me. He knows school is improtant to me and I hate having to make up a ton of work!

"I know you hate missing school and having to make up all thatwork but I already excused you and picked up your assignments" Umm that was weird.

" Why?"

"You just looked so peaceful I couldn't wake you" awww "Thanks"I gushed. I have been needing a break it had been a tiresome week. " No problem. So what do you want to do today?"

I grabbed the bag from his hand and walked to the kitchen table. "I don't know I havn't really thought about it"

"We could go minigolfing"

"No"

"Okay we could go see a movie"

"There isn't anything good out"

"Well then I don't know either if you're going to turn down every single option of mine"

"Sorry"

"Its fine. We could stay here and watch netflix"

"Yes! That one!"

"Okay, okay, settle down" We went into the family room and sprawled out onto the couch.

"What happened to Austin?" I asked with a bagle half chewed in my mouth. " After the movie was over you were asleep and so I sent him home."

"I can't believe you didn't wake me up now he probably thinks I have narcolepcy!" "No he.." the realization hit me that I was probably drooling and I looked as unappealing as ever. My life is over. I am going to die single and alone with no friends and no pets because I am alergic.

"Aspen!"

I looked over at Charlie who was staring at me impatiently " I was trying to give you a speech to make you feel better but you dozed off."

"Oh sorry I was just thinking about how my life is over and I am going to die alone" "Your not going to die alone Aspen"

"Oh really? When was the last time I talked to someone other than you or a relative. Not including Austin" He sat there thinging opened his mouth and shut it again.

"Exactly." I stated. I grabbed the remote and started to watch Bobs Burgers to take me away from my sad life. I looked over at Charlie who was texting away to all of his cool friends. I scoffed and slid deeper into the sofa.

"Hey Aspen?"
"What?" I said not looking at him and placing my coffee onto the table.

"Want to go to a party?"
