The next morning Melanie woke up to the bright sun shining through her curtains. She groaned from the brightness, only feeling slightly better from the alcohol.
She put on a white graphic tee, it was cropped and clung around her body. Along with some loose jean shorts, Nike high socks and high top Converses. Her hair was down just below her shoulders, with its usual loose, wavy curls.
She jogged downstairs, entering the kitchen, where everyone mainly was. She wasn't to shocked by the fact, everyone had already woke up before her.
"Mel! Good morning" Susannah was the first to see the teenage girl who just entered the kitchen.
Melanie smiled. "Morning" She waltzed over to Jeremiah, tugging a strand of his hair. "Morning, dickwad" She happily sat beside him on the stool.
He returned the gesture, tugging a single strand of her hair. "Morning, bitch"

Laurel pursed her lips, gently pushing her best friend. "Wait, what's that supposed to mean?"
Jeremiah too seemed to be just as confused as Melanie. He wanted to know who they thought she would be together with.
Susannah looked over to Laurel to give her a knowing smile. Susannah did a double take at her best friend. "Wait, are you wearing makeup?" She paused to study Laurel. "Yeah, she's wearing makeup"
Steven looked as equally shocked. "Oh my. she definitely is"
"Ohh!" Jeremiah giddily shouted.
Belly giggled. "Mom!"
Melanie smirked through her laughs. "Who's the special one?"
Laurel brushed everybody off, pretending not to care. "So what? We're having party
