My best stranger

0_o*****

I stare at the pills in my palm and inwardly puke. I had been placed on the drugs like the doctor said and it was always sickening having to down like seven pills at a go. I take in some water and raise my hand up to my mouth. I put them all in and one naughty pill gets  stuck at the back of my throat. I take in the whole glass of water in an attempt to keep my breakfast in my stomach. 

I'm back to being home alone. Dylan had gone home at the beginning of the week and we just finished our exams. We're done with the freaking semester.

I hear a knock on the door. I walk over to the entrance and open it. Lucas walks in
"Don't you have a key?"
"You changed your lock remember?" He reminds me. I forgot to get a duplicate for Lucas and now maybe Erica, that's if she wants it.
He takes a seat in the living room and turns to me
"Why you still standing there?"
I notice that I'm still standing in front of the open door thinking of making a key for Erica. I shake the thought off and walk over to the couch and sit next to him.

"There's a party at Roddy's house next week. An end of semester party. Are you coming?"

"Obviously"

"Remember what the doctor said though. Hope you have the self control"

"I'm not an addict. Chill"

He looks at me with suspicious eyes and I continue to remain oblivious to the fact that he's pointing at. Maybe I'm slightly dependent on weed but I can do without it. It can't be that hard.

"Alright mate" he says and gets up then walks over to the kitchen. He comes back with an apple. What's his deal with apples, that was my last one. But it kind of adds to his persona.
"Thinking of going to watch a movie. And I would have done that with a girl but, guess no body is ready for all this yet" he says using his two hands to refer to himself as 'this'. "Want to go?"

"Ya. When"

"Like 4pm this evening"

"Cool"

"See you then." He walks over to the front door and opens it then leaves.

Well that was a short visit

I pick up my phone and call the first person that comes to my thoughts.

"Hey" she picks up on the first ring. As always
"There's a party next week at Roddy's house. "
"I know. And yes I'm going. I don't live under a rock Noah, I sometimes know when there are parties"
"I was just checking"
"Someones desperate for a date? That reminds me. I need to shop for an outfit for the party. Can you follow me?'

"Hmmm let me think about that" yes I'd love to follow Erica and watch her change into different sexy outfits and show only me. And I'd also love to pick out a decent outfit for her for the party. I don't plan on keeping any more hoodies in my back seat.

"Or I can just go with Roxanne"

"No, no. I'll come"

I can hear her cute evil laugh at the other end of the line.
"I'll pick you up"

"Why can't I pick you up"

"I'm trying to be decent here.  It's called chivalry"

"Isn't that for men"

"That's an ugly stereotype"

"Oh my god. I'm not having this conversation. You can pick me up"

Pfft stereotype my ass

I decide to do a little work out before she gets here. When I'm done I take a quick shower.

The calm but audible knock on the door wakes me up from my nap. I dozed off? I use the back of my palm to wipe off any potential drool on my cheek. Better safe than sorry.
I get up and open the door.
"You should get me a key" she says looking not at my face but at my chest. Forgot to wear a shirt. This time it wasn't on purpose.
