I must have fallen asleep on the floor because I was moved to Josie's bed and I didn't have the intention of spending the night. I groan from my bundle of blankets I'll probably have to leave.
"Good morning." Josie spins around from fixing her uniform in the mirror.
"What time is it?" I sit up in my pile of blanket.
"7:30, hurry up so can drive us to school not that I don't want another detention with you." She laughs
"Uhhhggfgfgffd" I lay back down "I don't want to go."
"Come on I let you skip yesterday." She jumps on the bed. "Come on I have a uniform you can borrow since you've been wearing yours for over a day. Help yourself to any clothes or toiletries."
I trudge over to Josie's closet and all of her blouses are giant compared to mine. I throw off my blouse anyway and try it on. Josie's skirt fit fine the same as mine luckily.
"I forgot you're......" Josie starts.
"Just say short." I sigh.
She giggles and then helps me roll up the sleeves that covered my hands.
"Come on let's ride" she spins her keys and runs downstairs and I follow her.
Josie throws her bag in the backseat of her cigarette car.
"Meet Justine." Josie rubs the dash.
"You've named your car." I laugh
"Why not" she looks over at me like I'm weird for even considering the car didn't have a name.
"I don't know I thought like just weird older men named their cars" I shrug.
"You're a weird old man" she rolls her eyes and puts the car into drive.
"Shit I have like twenty missed messages." I scroll through
"You didn't tell anyone you were coming over" she looks over at me.
"I kind of dined and dashed for family dinner." I chuckle
"Hope" she raises her voice slightly but in a concerned tone .
"We'll they were asking about the meeting and didn't want to be like surprise I drove the headmaster off turns out he has a thing for teenage tribrids."I put me feet on the dash."God, in times like these I wish I smoked more."
"I may have a little something in the glove compartment it was a birthday present from Lizzie ." Josie focuses on the road.
"I swear if it's a half used cigarette I wouldn't even care ." I rummage.
"Is this a weed pen?!" I pull out the small pen.
"It was a gift from Lizzie." She shrugs
"You smoke" I look over in shock.
"Not really, only recreationally like I've had that for a second and it's almost full it just helps me take the edge off sometimes." She sighs.
"I obviously get that." I roll down her window and blow it out.
"Don't get yourself to stoned for school.I know todays going to be hard but it will be harder on everyone if you're visibly not there and completely zonked out." She turns into the school parking lot.
"Thank you" I smile climbing out of her car. "Don't disappear on them again if you can help it." She leans against her car
"I won't" I walk over to her.
She leans in for a kiss and I gladly return it.
"Have a good day" I run off towards the office.
"Good luck!" She yells after me.
I run through the corridors and up the stage almost plowing down underclassmen.
"Where did you go? Why didn't you respond to my messages? We were worried." Freya and Keelin practically circle.
"I stayed the night at Josie's I just needed some fresh air." I sigh.
"Did you ask her out yet?" Freya waits to ask
"What"Keelin looks over "I didn't know she was staying at a love interests house?"
"I hoped you went back to the school." Freya shrugged. "But did you ask her out?"
"I did" I blush and smile.
"I'm so proud of you" freya smiles and goes for a high five.
"Hello everyone" Caroline opens the door to the office and I suck in a deep breath "take a seat everyone" she gestures.
"Let's do this" I mumble to myself.
