Loud knocking sounded at my front door waking me in an instant. I rolled onto my stomach trying to find a more cooler spot for the one I laid in a few moments ago grew too hot for my liking. The knocking stopped making me sigh, I closed my eyes but to my pure annoyance the knocking started once again.... I groaned aloud reaching over towards my nightstand that held a pile of books, a lava lamp and my charging phone.

I checked the time and almost choked on my spit.....9:23.

"Shit I slept in....again" I mumbled under my breath.

I swear I'm kinda making this slight habit...

I groggily threw the covers from off my lower half -exposing my bare arms to the cold making me shiver- and started towards my oak room door; I yawned as I made my way down the slightly creaking stairs passing the living room that was practically apart of the kitchen but not exactly.

I grabbed the knob and twisted it open, my bestfriend stood there irritation written all over her face as she glared at me.

If looks could kill I would be dead right now.

"Do you not answer my calls anymore or something?" My bestfriend

"Uh yeah I checked it when I got up" I said closing the door behind her.

" Y'know you should stop staying up so late and studying, school doesn't even start back until the next two weeks, that's not good for your health" she said with a concerned look on her face.

" I know ok, I'll try and get in some more sleep, you don't have to be such a worry wart all the time" I say walking past her and into my kitchen, she followed suit.

"Listen Ryan, I know you made a promise to your mom that you would do well but I don't think she would want you to be stressing over school like this, listen I get your trying to be a good son and student but please take care of yourself" she replies sitting on a stool around the counter top.

"......can we not talk about this right now besides I am taking care of myself so you don't have to worry about anything......how have you been haven't heard from you in a week" I said trying to change the subject.

" Changing the subject I see, alright have it your way" she said walking towards my refrigerator.

" I'm not trying to change the subject ok, why do you always have to get so touchy" I said putting on a poker face and started up the stairs towards my room.

"Where are you going I doubt you've even eaten breakfast yet you damn prick" she yelled at me as a small smile appeared on my lips.

" Nope I haven't, I was sleeping a few minutes ago untill a certain someone woke me up from my peaceful slumber" I yelled entering my room, after hearing nothing but silence from downstairs.

I entered my room and closed the door behind me before flopping onto my bed and looking towards the window to my left.

I had realized I had been staring into thin air, I decided to go take a shower and go somewhere random since I don't have anything important doing today.

I got up and walked over to my closet and took out the first thing that caught my eye not really caring how it really looked, after all I'm not like Jada who matches every single thing.

After taking a shower and getting dressed I happily skipped down the stairs my nose was stroked with the wonderful scent of waffles and coffee. As I ran into the kitchen like a little child I saw that Jada had breakfast prepared for me and her.

"Y'know you didn't have to do that right" I said sitting on a stool Infront of her as she slid my plate of waffles and tea over to me.

"Ungrateful much, just so y'know I didn't do it for you I only made cuz I was hungry myself" she said rolling her eyes and putting half a waffle in her mouth.

"No I appreciate it, a lot it's just that I usually would order take out food, but why didn't you just eat at your house" I said sipping my tea.

"Because you have good food" she spoke.

"Now you know that's not true, I have seen your Instagram story and the type of food you post three words.....fit for luxury" I chuckle.

"Ryan.....just because I post them doesn't mean I eat them, I eat some of them" she replies smugly.

I give her a knowing look and she smile's nervously.

"I eat most of them" she says.

"Jada" I say sternly.

"Alright, I eat all of them....like have you tried rice and peas with oxtail and macaroni salad" she said I can imagine she'd be drooling right now.

"No I have not Jada" I get up and wash my dish and cup.

"You are missing out on life" she comes up beside me and lean's on my shoulder.

"Can you not with your bullshit this morning" I say drying my hand.

She laughs and I swear this girl sounds like a kettle when she laughs.

It's not even funny.

"Bredda come nuh man" she says dragging me outside with my keys in her hand.

I don't really understand what she says sometimes but I've been around her long enough to know a few words.
