Just a dream

s e v e n

I wake up to my alarm screaming down my ear, indicating that I should get up.

Janofest is today..

I walk towards my ensuite bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face when I hear my phone ding.

I read the phone and see his name, Jack Johnson

'Good morning' the message reads

A couple seconds later another comes through

'What time shall I pick you up?'

I suddenly have this weird sick feeling in my stomach.

'Um, around 11' I reply

Leaving me with 2 hours to shower, change and eat. Surely that's enough time, right?

I put my phone down on my vanity and run back in the bathroom and turn on the shower.

9:30 the time reads.

I decide on denim high wasted skinny jeans with slits in the knees and a crop top.

I let my hair air dry and do my usual makeup.

10am.

I have one hour until Jack and Jack are picking me up.

I hear my phone ring.

"Hello" I say without checking to see who it is

"Hey, are you ready?" I hear Casey's voice

"Um, about that" I bite my lip

"I'm going with Jack and Jack. I'm sure you can find someone else to go with" my sass appears out of nowhere

"What?!" She sounds annoyed

"Well seems that you ditched me for no reason yesterday, I'm going to do the same to you today"

"How mature of you. Who are you going to stand with whilst Jack and Jack are on stage? Betcha didn't think about that" she laughs

"Don't you worry about me babe, I'll be just fine" I hang up the phone

Thank god that's out of the way.

She's right though, who am I going to stand with?

"Gabby, breakfast is ready" my dad shouts from downstairs

"Okay" I reply running down the stairs

I walk into the kitchen to see a plate with pancakes, strawberries and blueberries waiting for me on the breakfast bar

"Aww dad, thank you" I kiss his cheek

"Anything for my princess" he pulls at my cheeks like I'm a baby

"Okay, you can let go now dad" I laugh

"What time is Casey coming over?" He asks as I take a seat

"She's not" I shove the pancake into my mouth

"What, why?" He looks concerned

"We had an argument, and she's not a good friend" I huff

"I see, who are you going with then?" He asks

"I'm not sure yet. But these guys who are performing at Janofest are picking me up so we can hang out" I say before drinking my glass of milk

"What are their names?" He raises his eyebrow

"Jack and Jack" I don't look up

My dad chokes on his coffee
