You're somebody else

"

Livi, you finished with your homework?" My mom asks, staring at me intensely.
"Yep." I simply answered, not even looking at her.
"You better have, I better see no D's or F's on that damn report card." She looked at me, "You did your chores already?"
"You told me before school that I can do them after dinner." I looked up at her, "Your words not mine." I smiled at her. She was about to respond to me, until my dad called for her, "You're lucky your father saved you this time." She states lightheartedly before heading upstairs. I then proceeded to turn on my computer, logging into Skyrim the eldritch scrolls. I played the game for about 3 hours until I got a notification saying I have an email. I decided to ignore the email, continuing my mission. 27 minutes into the mission my phone's notifications started to go off. I ignored it for about 15 minutes before I got annoyed, I paused my mission and checked my emails. " Bro I ain't got any friends that'll message me." I complained, opening up my Gmail only to find out that they were messages from Amazon telling me how my package will be delivered tomorrow. Now I don't know wether to feel happy my package is arriving early, or to be pissed that I had to pause my mission to get my phone to shut the fuck up. I let out a frustrated sigh as I set my phone down and go right back to my game. "As soon as I finish my mission I'll go eat." I tell myself, after all gotta make sure I eat some food. Another hour passes and my mom enters my room, "You're supposed to do your chores after dinner, remember. You did eat dinner, right?" She questions me, staring me straight in the eyes to see if I'm lying.
"Yes I ate dinner, I was just about to go do my chores." I lied staring back at her. She stares at me for a few minutes before leaving my room. She'll never know I skipped dinner. After I finished cleaning I looked at the time, it was 9:32 pm, I decided to head upstairs to my room and go to bed. Once I got into bed and laid down I just stared at the ceiling. I had to check on my friends, I wanted to make sure they were happy. I messaged them all "goodnight love y'all " in the group chat. Ari responded with "good night to ya too!"
Jason responded with "Good night, but I only love Ronald Reagan "
And Moxie responded with "it's morning for me but good night love you too"

I started at my phone screen, I felt empty inside for some reason. Normally I'd be laughing at the messages Jason sends, he's literally the definition of "Unfiltered in a good way " so why do I feel empty. "Maybe it's cause I didn't eat anything today." I mumbled to myself, as I rolled over trying to fall asleep. After what seemed like years I finally fell asleep, until my phone alarm went off. I rolled over and smacked the snooze button, about 5 minutes later it went off again. I sat up annoyed at the fact I didn't get sleep, I tapped the stop button on my phone and got up and got ready for school. Thinking about seeing my friends didn't make me feel anything, I went downstairs and chilled for a few minutes before heading out to school. As soon as I got to school my friends noticed me, "Hey Livi! Over here!" Jason called for me, motioning for me to go over there and chat with them. I instead walked right past them, ignoring them whispering about me being in a "bad mood". Although I wasn't in a bad mood, I just felt like I was worthless and an annoyance to them. I didn't go get breakfast, I instead headed straight to class.  As I entered the classroom I got pissed off, we had a new seating chart. Although that wasn't the reason I was pissed off, the reason I was upset was because I had to sit next to a girl named Trixie who would  constantly annoy me. I let out a irritated sigh and sat down in my new assigned seat. When the other kids walked in they started yelling and completely about their seating chart, it made me want to stab them all to get them to shut the fuck up. Trixie started complaining to the teacher about sitting next to me. "Put her by herself she'd probably rather sit alone!" Trixie whined to which the teacher responded with, "Trixie that's rude to say! Livi is a good student. You're sitting there wether you like it or not." Trixie then groaned in annoyance about not getting to sit next to her friends, she sat next to me and glared at me. "Don't even try anything." She snapped at me, to which I continued to stare straight ahead and ignore her. She then started trying to talk about how I wanted to date her, I turned towards her and simply responded with " Nah, my standards aren't that high." She then proceeded to roll her eyes. After what seemed like forever class finally ended and it was time for lunch, I decided to just head to my lunch table instead of getting lunch.
" Hey man! Glad to see you still tolerate us!" Ari happily greeted me, I simply looked at her and gave her a thumbs up. She decided to leave me alone since she noticed I didn't have the energy today. Although Jason on the other hand decided to run over to me and start questioning me on why I ignored them this morning. Ari tried to get him to shut the fuck up, but he just decided he wanted to speak even louder. At this point he was yelling in my ear, he was yelling things about what I did being considered rude, and being a bad friend. It started to piss me off so I immediately shoved him down onto the cafeteria floor. I stood up ashamed of letting my anger take control, "I'm sorry, let me help..." I offered him my hand to help him up. "Nah man go be a bitch elsewhere." He stood up and glared at me, Ari immediately yelled at him about how he pushed me too far and he deserved what happened and he could tell I was upset but he ignored it. I didn't stick around to really hear what she was lecturing him for though, I just headed straight to the exit of this fucking hell.
  I left the school and headed to the gas station to chill for a bit. Trixie walked up to me and started questioning me, " What the hell did you do that? Why'd you leave the school? They're probably gonna contact your parents, you gotta come up with an excuse!" She actually sounded concerned for me, "Did you follow me?" I asked her suspiciously.
"Yeah I did but-" she stopped mid sentence before grabbing two bags of sour gushers. "Want some?" She asked.
"Don't got money, you can get yourself one though." I stated, staring at the ground.
" I was gonna buy them both for us." She smiled softly at me. I don't know what's with the sudden change of attitude, but it was highly suspicious. "You sure." I stared at her looking for any signs of mockery or fake empathy.
"Yeah I'm positive." She let out a small laugh as she walked up to the cash register and bought the candy. She came back over to me and made me take the bag of candy, "You need to eat, can't have you starving to death on me now." She lightheartedly teased as she began to eat her candy. I stared at the candy before beginning to eat it, I still feel empty inside and I'm pretty sure she's just making fun of me in some sort of way.
"We could head to my house if you wanted." She offered, smiling as she awaited my response. I don't know if she was going to try and humiliate me or not. "Wouldn't your dad be upset you left school early? Without a good reason?" I questioned her trying to figure out if she was attempting to make fun of me.
"Nah my parents don't pay attention to me, and if the school contacts them, they'll just come up with an excuse." She shrugged, she turned to look at me, "So you wanna come to my place?" She asked once again.
" Can't my parents are going to be pissed, I left school without permission." I stared at the ground, attempting to think of an excuse for my actions.
" I can just get my dad to also make an excuse for you if you'd like?" She offered smiling as she gently placed her hand on my shoulder.
" Yeah that'd work I guess." I sighed, slightly annoyed that she's probably going to figure out how to make fun of me for this later.

  Once we got to her house, she opened the door and held it open for me. " You go first your majesty." She laughed a little at her own joke. Why the hell is her laugh so nice to hear, "Why thank you, my love." I smiled as I walked inside. She walked in and shut the door behind her. Her father then walked up to us, "Why are you two here?" He questioned.
"School was getting a little to much for us, so I was hoping you could come up with an excuse for both me and my best friend?" She smiled, looking at him to give him puppy eyes.
"Alright, fine I guess." He sighed, "Just stay out of trouble, you know the rules." He reminded Trixie before heading back to his office.
"I'm your bestie?" I looked at Trixie with a puzzled face. Trixie let out a small laugh, "Yeah, of course you're my bestie!" She gave me a hug. I smiled as I hugged her back, she smells like tulips. To my misfortune she pulled away from the hug sooner than I'd like. "What's your favorite drink?" She asked me.
"Oh, uhm, I like Monster, and cola." I shrugged.
"Okay! I'll keep that in mind!" She smiled, "What's your favorite snack?"
"Oh, it'd probably have to be pizza or spicy chips." I said, as I smiled at her, staring into her eyes. I never make eye contact with anyone, so why would I with a girl that would always whisper to her friends about me?
"Alrighty I'll keep that in mind for when you come over again!" She smiled, as she then took out her phone to check a notification.
"Wait what do you mean come over again?" I asked, a bit suspicious of what she was doing.
"You're my friend so I figured you'd come over again!" She said happily, turning off her phone and setting it down. "I'll be right back, I'm gonna go grab us some snacks from downstairs." She said happily before leaving the room. I noticed her phone screen light up, I would be a rude person if I checked her phone without her permission. If I checked without permission I'd be invading her privacy, but I didn't know if she was messaging someone about me. I walked over to her phone and checked the notification. It was messages from the group chat she's apart of. "Omg girl, good luck with her!" Was a message from someone called Main girl.
"Ask her out!!!!" Was from someone else called Wildcard, and the last message was from someone named The therapist mom and the message said, "Find out what she likes, and then spend some time with her. Ask her what her favorite flower is or favorite color, and make it your her code name. That way when she walks past you, you can just start using her code name instead of making her think you're making fun of her. That should increase your chances of getting with your crush." There was another message from someone but I decided to leave her phone alone. She's not talking crap about me so it's none of my business. After about two minutes Trixie came back upstairs with a pink monster, a green monster, a bag of mini donuts, and flamin hot Cheetos. " I went to the gas station to grab us some food and drinks!" She smiled as she handed me the green monster and Flamin hot Cheetos. She then opened her monster and looked at me, "this is a good flavor, right?"
" It all depends on the person, but I personally love every flavor of monster!" I smiled, " Although I have a feeling you'll love that flavor!" I gave her a reassuring thumbs up. She smiled at me as she then to a drink of her monster. "This flavor tastes amazing!" She exclaimed happily.
" See told you you'd love it!" I smiled, Trixie then picked up her phone and checked the messages. She looked up at me, "Hey I've got another question what's your favorite flower?"
