Makayla's pov

I quickly got up and checked my phone. It was 7 in the morning. Shit. I'm running late for school. I quickly get up out of bed and throw on some clothes. I run down stairs and quickly grab a granola bar as I didn't have time to eat cereal.

"You're running late sweetie." Miss Smith said to me.

"I know. I'm sorry. I didn't hear my alarm go off." I quickly told her.

"It's fine sweetheart. Just please drive to school safely." She called out. "Also we have people coming by later after school."

"I will don't worry." I called back.

There's people coming by after school? I look like a mess. I wish I got up on time.

I quickly pulled up to school and actually managed to find a decent parking spot. The first bell rang letting me know I have five minutes to get to class. I walked in as quickly as I can, so I wouldn't be late.

"Hey Makayla you finally decided to go full on emo like the rest of us huh?" Alex asked referring to what I was wearing.

"No. I was running late and threw on some clothes." I told him.

"Aww we really want you to." He told me and the rest of my friends nodded in unison.

"I will one day. Just not today." I told them. "You know I love band shirts and the whole emo aesthetic. I'm not used to wearing those clothes yet and I feel really awkward. I don't want the judgy looks."

"Don't worry about it. One day you'll be comfortable enough where you won't care and we can all be emo baddies." Rose told me.

"Yes, we will be stunting on those bitches." I said laughing at the end.

"You guys are dumb." Alex said while shaking his head at us.

"Guys?" I said nervously.

"What's up?" Rose asked.

"There are people coming by after school." I told them bitting my nails.

"There is?" Devin asked while popping his up.

"Yes. I'm nervous. Sure I know I most likely won't get picked being a teenager and all. I just don't look presentable." I told them.

"You're fine. You're literally just in a band shirt and ripped skinny jeans." Alex said a little annoyed.

"Yes, I know I am. I don't know." I said shaking my head. "I just don't feel comfortable meeting people. I hate meeting new people. I just hate small talk a bit. I feel out of sorts and out of my element. I also didn't have time to do a little bit of makeup or even brush my hair."

"We know Makayla. You can probably just sneak in and change your clothes before they come. Get a little dressy and fix yourself up." Rose told me.

"Okay. Okay, I'll just do that." I said calming myself down.

They started to ramble on about plans for later today. I barely listened as I felt anxious about the people coming to visit. I know being a teenager I more than likely won't get picked. They usually want a kid or baby. I would be nice to get out of there and actually have a family. If not I got almost another year there which will suck, but hopefully go by fast.

"Makayla?" Rose asked snapping her fingers in front of my face snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"We want to hang out and maybe learn to play a song or two." She said. "You down?"

"Oh hell yeah I'm down. What time? I can come pick you guys up. I don't have work today, so I can stay out late." I told them.
