After school is finished, I walk home alone in the muddy rain listening to 'Summertime Sadness' by Lana Del Ray. Kellianne's parents offered to drop me home, but I refused because I like walking alone. It's another therapeutic thing alongside music.

I walk onto the driveway and realise my parents car isn't there. Normally, they always go out in the night, not during the day. I unlock the door and go inside scoping the whole house to see if they are at home. They aren't. Finally, I can get some peace and quiet after school without my parents arguing all the time.

My parents - Josh and Alexandra Fane- did not marry because they were in love, they had an arranged/forced marriage, and both had no idea they were getting married until their actual wedding day. Honestly, I don't know why my grandparents arranged their spouses for them and I probably will never know considering all my grandparents are dead. Lovely!

The only time  they aren't arguing is when they go out every night to drink, party and fuck each other. Lovely again!

I head upstairs and take a boiling, steamy, hot shower to help my muscles. I'm a virgin btw. Shower thoughts, how lovely. After 30 minutes, I change into a grey cami- top and plain black joggers. I do my skincare and watch 'Fight Club' on my phone for the 50th time. 

I'm halfway through the movie and Anne calls, that's wierd she normally never calls and always texts me, I thought to myself. I pick up the phone call after I accidentally let it ring for about 10 seconds. 

"Hey Iris, what's up?" 

 "Hi, nothing much just in my bed". 

 "Okayyy, boringggg, wanna come mine". 

 "Umm sure". 

 "If your parents let you obviously".  

"Uh yeah they aren't at home, so I'll just come round,  is everything okay though?"  

"Of course Iris everything is always okay, I'm just bored and I wanna see you". 

 "Alright I'll be there in 10".

"Perfect, see you soon, love you"

"Love you too"

She ends the call and I get up from my comfy bedsheets and put on a blue hoodie and head downstairs. I open the fridge and look around, not much too see to be honest but I grab an actimel so I can drink it whilst I'm walking to her house. I put on my trainers and grab my keys and leave the house, locking the door behind me. I don't know why, but I rarely see movie characters locking their doors, it's like do you wanna be robbed?

Anne only lives like 2 roads away from me so it takes me about 5 minutes to walk to her house. Her parent's car isn't in their driveway either. I knock on the door and after 1 second the door swing opens. I assume it's Kellianne, but I'm wrong, and there he is...
