(Ariah's outfit out on the date^^^^)

The week goes by increasingly fast. I wake up to the sound of my alarm clock stating that it's ten in the morning. It's Friday and I'm comfortably in bed and not wanting to move in inch to get up. I hear a knock on my bed room door and role over to see who is disturbing me.
"Come in!'
My mom walks in with a smile on her face.
"Come on it's ten o'clock."
"Go away!" I grumble, now ducking my head under my covers. She reaches over and snatches them out of my grasp.
I frown at her, signing for her to let me be.
"Come on Ariah, you have to get up."
"Today's Friday! What do I possibly need to get up for?"
"Don't you have a date today?"
"No...I don't know, he never texted me about it." I haven't really been focusing on the date these past couple days. I mean I've thought about it but I've been studying a lot and it just seemed to slip my mind.
"Well you have to get up anyway it's ten....your not sleeping the day away."
"Ugh, I can't wait until I move out." I stand up and feel slightly light headed. I brush it off and head towards the bathroom.

I look in the mirror and brush my teeth and hair. I want to call John, just because I haven't heard from him in a couple of days but I don't want to push this. Well whatever this is. I exit the bathroom and notice that there are clothes all spread out on my bed. My mom stands at the end of the bed examining the clothes.

"Mom? What are you doing?"
"I'm looking at your clothes, just giving some advice here but you may need to go shopping again."
"Ugh no I don't, I'll just whip up something."
"Mmhmm ok fine."

She then exits the room and I'm left looking at the clothes lined up. I grab my phone and get on Pinterest. One thing I know about guys is that they will pin things that they like girls to wear. Or one thing I know about John at least. He hasn't been on in a couple of days but he has enough pins to make up for it. I see a really cute outfit that I think I have also pinned before. I want to call him and ask what we would be doing so I can plan an appropriate outfit. I'm not even sure if it's tonight or tomorrow or Sunday. I go to our recent messages and begin to type. I quickly second guess my decision and don't send the message. I put my phone down on my dresser and head downstairs to eat breakfast. Everyone is sitting at the kitchen table and eating what looks like oatmeal. I despise such a food, and can't stand the looks of it. I go towards the pantry and grab a box of cereal.

"So Ariah do you know where your going on your date tonight?" My dads looks really interested.
"Maybe the movies or over his house?" My mom chimes in. I'm instantly reminded of the events at his house.
"No, I don't even know if it's tonight, all I know is that it's this weekend." I hope it's not at his house, if it is I don't want his father to be there.
"Did you text him and ask?"
"No, I haven't talked to him in a couple of days." Does that really matter?
"Well that's unusual."
"Yeah that's weird, you guys like talk everyday, he even comes over all the time." My sister butts in, I shoot her a dirty look for that one.
"Not really." I want to change the subject
"How many times has he been here?" My dad looks concerned.
"Only a couple of times....not a lot." I say through gritted teeth.
"Oh ok."
"Yeah can we talk about something else?"
"Have you met his parents?" My mom is gonna make me explode.
"Ok I'm done talking about this."

I grab my bowl of cereal and head upstairs. They are already starting to annoy me. I don't have to talk to him everyday, I don't have to know where our date is and who cares if I met his parents. I don't know why this subject irritates me but it does. I quickly eat the rest of my food and change. I grab my car keys and phone and walk out the door. I start my car and sit in the driveway. I didn't tell my parents where I was going so I text my sister to tell them that I'm going over a friends house. I just made up my mind to go over Kennedy's house when I sent the text. I text Kennedy next asking if she wanted to do something. I wait for her response then pull out the driveway and drive down the road my phone rings so I answer it. It's John.
