FINN WOLFHARD

It's been a week since the little incident. I haven't seen that girl in a while, and to be honest, I kinda wanted to get to know her. Yes, she was hurt, but I had this feeling that she would have probably seemed nice. My mind can't brush away the look on her face when she turned around to face me after that fall. Fuck. I'm just imagining things. This shit Is fucking crazy. I hate her for having me in this chokehold of hers. What kinda voodoo shit did she put on me? Next time I see her in public I just might smack the back of that ginger head of hers, knock some sense into that lady.

My clothes overflooded my room. There are posters of my favorite artists everywhere, food from months ago, Monster energy drink cans everywhere, and lots of my dog's fur. It's free Kashmir fur for me, so most of the time I don't mind it. This just might be the first time I actually want to clean up my room a bit. I'm glad I even hid the smell of my vape a bit. Not really a stoner, but vaping I can stop. I vape too much it's a bad habit now. I wish I knew how addicting it would be.

SADIE SINK

My mind traveled through various places, wandering around. To be honest, I'm glad I busted my foot that day. His face was just something new. Something in the mixture of beautiful and hot as hell. Or maybe I'm just going through it. Yeah, this all seems so corny. Maybe I should just stop thinking about him because his hitting every single one of my nerves.

I restlessly scroll through websites for job offers. I'm in the second year of college at Phoenix College. The college has me up my ass for a full year, so I guarantee that this year doesn't seem as smooth as butter (like a criminal undercover). I'm looking for a job to still fill in all my savings. I know it'll be tough but I'm up for a little challenge here and then. If it doesn't work out, I  quit. Something like a barista at a coffee shop would be nice. Perhaps the closest Starbucks could have a position open for me as a beginner?

My thoughts grew more fizzled as I noticed that most positions were already taken. There's no way I'm getting hired at this point. Fuck this. I need a break. I dial up my favorite number, Meng Saetang. I just hope she's not busy. That rat hasn't texted me in two days. I hope she picks up or I'll drag her hoe booty here myself. I press call and hope for a callback.

"HEY SINK", she sounded. "Hey, fuckface. Any idea how many times I tried to call you these days?"

"OH YEA SHIT- how'd your two-days-of-Meng-not-answering-my-phone go?", she chuckled to her annoying rat self. I let out a single sigh with a little grin. I really can't stand her but how can I hate such an angel like Meng? Not possible in any universe of ours. At all. 

"Smoothly. My mom grounded me which is childish because I'm 18", I voiced. 

"Man, I see Mrs. Sink hasn't really changed her ways. No offense of course", the other end of the phone said.

 "No, it's fine! I agree, heavily. She's just a real bitch sometimes and I hate saying that word but it's true", I said.

My mom's behavior hasn't really changed after the little incident. She kept telling me to always report my whereabouts, the time I'm outside, and when I'll be back home. I know she's worried but she seems over-worried. Like, calm it down mom. I'm an adult now. It's ridiculously annoying but yet I don't have the guts to do anything about it.

"Hang on there Sad Sink. Everything will soon turn into a new leaf. Maybe a good one even. Who knows?", Meng wonders.

 "And what is this 'new leaf' supposed to be like?", I asked.

 "A little fresh start does not harm Sadie. Your gonna get new friends eventually and totally forget about your friend from Texas", Meng said.

 "False. Your gonna get sick of me because I'll be attached to you like a sticker. Everywhere you go Mengie, I'm there", I spoke.
