"I hope you and steve get along   
with each other well"
——————————————

Holy shit. Today was a total train wreck! .. Hayden got angry over a question Allison asked, but I can't blame him though. Allison was acting really weird out of nowhere. It's like.. there's shes jealous of something. Jealous of me perhaps. This day is definitely filled with both bad luck and luck for me. Well.. it's probably just me overthinking about it. Maybe .. it isn't as bad as I thought it was.

It is now 10:30pm, I'm outside on the terrace of my apartment. I'm looking at the street view from below. The street lights, the people walking by, I can faintly smell the food from up here! It smells rather delicious not going to lie. Sadly I live on the 15th floor of my complex , it's not fairly easy to see people and what-not from up here. I'd have to make myself focus a little on a few people passing by or the shops down below to properly see what's going on.

I sigh, still looking down at the street below. I rest my head on my hand, Im getting a little distracted by the smell of food. It smells amazing! Maybe I should go down and buy it. But it's late.. and all the shops around the area look packed! You know what? I'm going down anyway. I am kind of hungry though. I go back inside my home and went to the table near my bed to grab a few items. Now all I have to take is my phone, wallet, and..

Damnit, what else do I bring? I'm stumped at thinking on what I should go down with. Whatever, I'll just bring my phone and wallet. I went over towards the front door and wore my slippers. I opened the door and headed out, i made sure to lock the doors behind me first. I put my keys in my pockets and stopped in-front of the elevator. I pressed the button and waited for it to come up to my floor.

Gosh this elevator is taking a while to come up. I pull out my phone and check the time.. it's 10:52pm now. Damn, how long was I even outside on the terrace? I lost track of time. Maybe I should go back inside.. but I'm hungry. Fuck it, as long as I get to get some food for tonight! The elevator finally reached my floor, when the doors opened, my eyes widened after seeing who was inside that elevator.

It was Hayden and his..friend? I'm a little surprised and confused. He would text me before even coming to or arriving at my place! This is definitely a small surprise for sure. He was holding a bag of food, and his friend was on his phone being distracted. Him and his friend stepped out of the elevator, I backed up. "Here, I bought it for you" He gave me a soft smile before handing me the bag for me to take it. "Thanks dude! Why the sudden visit? Usually you would text me before coming over"

He clears his throat before speaking. "It's a gift of apology from me because of Ally's attitude.." he mutters and scratches his neck. His friend really is busy on his phone! Well it isn't the friend he wanted to set me up with, it's a different person that I've never seen before. He's never introduced me to this one before. I chuckle "you don't need to apologize because of Allison! I'm okay" I give him a soft smile.

I replay what Hayden said in my mind, ally? Damn, they just met 7 months ago and they already have nicknames for each other? How come I haven't came up with one for either of them. Even if they fought, they still referred to each others nicknames. "So, you call Allison 'Ally' now?" I ask him and tilt my head a little. "Eh not really, it's just a nickname so" He shrugs and scratches the back of his neck again.

His friend voices up all of a sudden. "Dude! we gotta go. One of our friends got locked out of their house" His friend speaks up while slightly panicking. He turns to look back towards the elevator and presses the button. "Damn, who?" Hayden utters and leans against the wall, he puts his hands in his pockets. "Hold on" his friend pulls out his phone and goes to check the contact name.
