The doorbell. ugghh. One of the things I hate most in life. I drag myself over to the door (resentfully) and open it, Hattie. She's wearing a blue dress which goes nicely with her dark skin and black curly hair up in a ponytail. 

"Hi!" Hattie says, "You texted me like thirty minutes ago saying; "Urrrrrrgghhhhhhh" So I thought that maybe you needed some "Me" Time!" Oof. I thought to myself she had completly misread the whole situation there. Common Hattie. She gave me a toothy smile and I sighed, 

"Come in Hattie," 
"Yes! I have great ideas for today!" She rushes through door almost making me fall. Oof I say aloud, Hattie doesn't here. Well It's five thirty I think looking at the clock. Mom was making Ramen and Gyoza for dinner. May as well ask Hattie to stay for dinner I thought with an inward groan. It was pretty obvious why I didn't like Hattie, WAAAAAAAAAAAY to happy go lucky for me. She leads me up to my room, Hattie smells like flowery perfume that makes me sneeze. Oooh Hattie says when we reach my room. It's painted sage green my bed is covered in a mass of covers and a few posters lazily hung up also crumpled papers and pens line the floor. Hattie went over to my closet and swung it open. 

"O.M.G. We NEED to do a MAKEOVER ON YOU!!!!" 

Oh no. 

"Not in a million trillion billion thousand hundred ten one years Hattie!" I say, Hattie looked unsurprised but upset. She sticks out her tounge.

"Oh poop, then what do you want to do?" 

"Um," 

"Oh I know!" Hattie declares, "We should ask if PENNY and BLAKE should come over too, They always have good ideas!" 

Oof, I think, At least thats better than dealing with Hattie by myself. So I sit on my green carpet as Hattie dials Penny then Blake and i'm left to think, how did become friends with this goon? Of course I can answer that question, She's Penny's friend I don''t know why though they don't share ANYTHING in common. Hattie hangs up. 

"OK so Penny can come and Blake is at Karate So he'll come a bit later K?"

"Yeah, that's greeeaaat Hattie." I answer strecthing out great for empathis. Suddenly Penny texts me, 

How in Hell did you get stuck with Hattie BY YOURSELF. Next time that happens text me an SOS

I laugh a bit before responding while Hattie starts messing with my hair. 

Apparently she took it upon herself to come to my house to cheer me up so far it's been going the opposite... I reply

Well help is on the way!
