Coming down the stairs with super sonic speed , i headed to the main door and opened it to be greeted with a familiar lovely face ! A baby blue eyes were staring at me with strange look . Christine was standing at my doorway , dressed in a short pink dress , she curled her blond hair as usual and it coudn't look anything but perfect .

" One of these days , you're gonna fall down the stairs , break your hand or leg and i'm gonna shit my pants laughing about it " She said crossing her arms and still wearing her strange look with a hint of smile crossing her pink lips .

" Nice seeing you too Chris , come in " i replied with sarcasm and let her in . The smell of spaghetti was filling the house , we made our way to the kitchen where my mom was there setting the table . Chris smiled to her,  gave her a cheek kiss and helped her out while i was standing there thinking about tomorrow !

 Yes , tomorrow would be the first day of school , it's our senior year and Chris and i promised each other to make the best out of this year . 

" Earth to Amy " Christine made me jump out of my deep thoughts waving with her hand , she was holding one plate of spaghetti .

" Wash your hand hun , dinner's ready " mum said while washing some dishes , i should've helped them out but i'm too lazy to do that ! My hand were already washed , i sat down the table and started to eat . Mum's food was mouthwatering as usual , her skills in cooking made her famous in our family , every Sunday the whole family would gather in our house and mom would prepare a delicious meal with the help of my dad .

But he died when i was 13 , and since then , the family gathering had stopped .

"Are you going to be like this the whole night ? what's up with you " Chris snapped at me , seeing the fact that i was silent the whole meal thinking about everything ,

"Are you okay darling ? " mom asked with concern in her tired eyes , she doesn't stop working since the death of my dad , she works so hard to maintain our living , dad left some money but not enough to feed us for the next 5 years .

" Yeah i'm OK , why wouldn't i be ? " i said with a smile in my face .  And i wasn't lying .

Christine shrugged at my response and continued chewing on her food . Twenty minutes later , Chris and i were off to my room , she would crash in my house so tomorrow we'll go to school together , this has been our tradition since forever . I never crashed in her house once , not because she didn't want to , but i feel uncomfortable being around her family .

See, Chris's family is extremely rich ,their house is twice bigger than mine , i went there only once when she invited me to her little brother jack's birthday . Her parents are judgy , hence i never go see them . They expect Chris's friends to be rich as well , dress fancy , walk like a model and talk in formal way , things i never intend to do . 

I was already in my blue pyjama , Chris changed to hers too and made her way to my king sized bed .

" Make some space you fat ass " Chris said while pushing me out of bed

" Not as fat as yours hun " i hit her with my pillow in the face , she turned to face me and smiled

" I know right ? " I chuckled at her response , she always adored her curvy body , boys always complimented her about it , and honestly , it wasn't only flattering , it was the truth . And i couldn't help but envy her a little .

" Now shut up , i need my beauty sleep " She closed her eyes and i did the same .

"Chris " I said after five minute of silence , she opend one eyes and i already regret it , you never kid with her when she sleeps

"I swear i will kill you if it's not important " she said with her not so threatening tone ,

" Do you think i'll be able to make some friends this year ? " I asked her honestly , this questionhas  never left my mind in peace , the only friend i had was Christine . She , on the other hand , has a lot of friends , the perks of being popular . But i've never got along with them , their judgy glares and bitchy statements made me realize that i don't belong to the group . 

Chris always asked me to join them , get to know them but i always decided against it , having her was enough for me . But deep inside me i've always wanted to have my own group too , to depend on them and be like brothers and sisters ...

" I think if you start dressing more like a girl and less like a homeless than yes i think you will " she said while looking at the ceiling , i did the same too and answered 

"i don't dress like a homeless , I just don't like wearing tight jeans and short dress like you do , i don't comfortable at all " 

"Well then you'll be forever alone " she said under her breath , yawned and drifted to sleep .

" i have you " i murmur quietly and let sleep take over me .
