"Fuck! Stu! It's eight thirty! Hurry up, we're gonna be late." I jump out of bed. "Can I borrow a shirt and jeans?" I ask. "Uh, yeah." He says, taking off his shirt, and putting on a clean one. I put on one of Stu's flannels, and tight skinny jeans. I throw my hair up into a high ponytail.
"Morning Annabelle." Stu's mother greets. "Goodmorning." I smile. "Yeah, morning mom, morning dad. Annie, we're gonna be even later if you keep talking to my parents." Stu pulls me out of the house.

"Hey guys." Billy says catching up to us. Me and Stu are also incredibly close with Billy. "Hey, Bills." I say, teasing him. "I told you to stop calling me that Annie." He groans.
"You secretly love it." I smile. "Shit, did you guys hear about Casey Becker? Her and her boyfriend were found gutted last night." Stu pipes up. "Heard about that." Billy chimes in. "Last night? I was with you last night Stu. How come you didn't tell me?" I ask. "Forgot." He shrugs.
We finally make it to class half an hour late. "Thank you for finally joining us, you three." The teacher says, as we sit down. I sit down next to Randy, as Billy and Stu sit together.
"Did you fuck Stu or something? Your wearing his clothes." Randy tires not to laugh. "How the fuck do you know what Stu's clothes look like, Rand?" I question. "I've seen him wear them." He says. "No, I didn't fuck Stu, I stayed over his, and had no clothes." I explain.

It's lunch, and me, Stu, Billy, Sidney, Tatum, Michael and Randy are all outside. Me and Stu are sharing some gummies.
"Oh Annie, I haven't really had the chance to speak to you today, but uh, why are you wearing Stu's clothes? Don't you think it's kinda weird?" She smiles, trying to seem a little less bitchy. I mean, me and Tatum are friends, and I'd get it'd be weird to see another girl wearing your boyfriends clothes, but she knows me and Stu have been best friends for years.
"Tatum, you and I are friends, I know it's weird seeing another girl in your boyfriends clothes, but you have to understand I don't want to fuck your boyfriend." I say, making her go quiet.
That was such a lie. I so badly want to have sex with Stu. I mean, I don't like him like that, but sometimes I wonder what it'd be like.
"Uh, anyways, you hear what happened to Casey Becker last night?" Stu brings up the topic once again. "No?" Randy, Tatum and Michael say in unison. "Her and her boyfriend were found gutted last night." Stu continues. I watch as Sidney shifts uncomfortably.
"You ok, Sid?" I turn to her. She just nods in response. "Annie, where were you this morning? Mom told me to come and get you but you weren't in your bed?" Michael asks. "Oh yeah, I got up early and left with Stu." I lie.
I watch as Tatum face changes. Jesus, she really needs to calm down. "Stu, are you walking to school with me tomorrow?" Tatum looks at me before looking back at Stu.
"I already told Annie i'd walk with her. She's scared about walking alone after what happened to Casey." Stu lies. "What about me? What if I'm scared?" She says, trying to convince him to walk with her instead. "Walks with Randy?" Stu suggests. Tatum sighs in defeat.

"Annie!" I hear from behind me. I turn around and see Billy and Stu. I wait for them, and they catch up to me. "Are we hanging out tonight?" I ask the boys, like we planned. "Cant. Got an assignment for science class." Billy smiles. "You doing an assignment? That's unheard of." I chuckle. "Stu?" I turn to him. "Yeah, my parents aren't home tonight." He jokes, winking at me.
"Fuck off, Stu." I laugh.
Jesus, I wish he wasn't joking.
