The next day

I was at home doing my geometry homework while listening to Rihanna on my AirPods. My father was out with his friends, I was alone at home. I don't mind I love the quiet. When focusing on my homework or heard my stomach growl.

" I need to get something to eat." I said. I stand up from the couch to go to my kitchen I open the refrigerator door, to see what I could eat.

All I saw were empty shevlls

"Right. We didn't go grocery shopping" my stomach started to grow even louder " UGH, ok i get it !!!"

I pulled out my phone to call my dad, it took a couple seconds but he picked up.

"Dad~" I say in a whiny voice

" What's wrong angel ?" He questioned, at the weird sound of my voice

" there's no food and I'm dying~" I say  an exaggeration

I could hear my father's laughter through the phone.

I'm sorry that you're dying, but remember it was your turn to go grocery shopping" he said

I sighed at the realization

"Oh"

"Yeah! Oh" he said mocking me

I hung my head in embarrassment

" why don't you go hang out with your friends and order take out, I'll get the groceries on my way back home." He said

"Ok, sure. Thanks dad" I said

" No problem cupcake" he said

I hung up the phone and started texting my friend's number

I rolled my eyes 👀 and ate banana with I found fruit basket.

Then hoped on the couch and turn on Hulu and watch anime, since I was I abandoned.

The banana only lasted a couple of hours

I checked the clock and it was 4:00

"Ugh, I'm so bored" my body sunk father in the couch

Then it hit me.

" that's right I have her number" I ran upstairs towards my back pack to open the bottom zipper for my her phone number that I wrote down.

" there u are" I grinned at the paper

I sat down crisscross and dial the number, I had paused for a second because of the butterflies in my stomach

" it's all right, you guys are cool" took a breath " you can do this"
