Do or Die | A Slipknot story

chapter ten

"You ready to go?" Stephanie questioned me as I jumped off the last step. I smiled and nodded.

"Yep"

She nodded and turned, leading us out the door and into her van. We were currently headed to the mall because Stephanie decided she wanted us to go on a shopping spree. So, here we are going to the mall.

"You excited for your dad to come back?" She inquired as she drove down the road.

"Yeah, with our relationship in the state it is, I never really thought I would miss him as much, but, I do" I answered with a sigh.

My dad had left for tour about six months ago, and would be back in a few days. I had already started my junior year in highschool, and was now about four months in. I never imagined I would miss him as much, being we didn't get along as well as I'd like, but I miss him more than imaginable.

Stephanie eventually pulled into the parking lot, and we both hopped out of the car and ran into the mall. We immediately entered a store I didn't know the name to, but it had a lot of awesome stuff.

My eyes scanned every item in the store, picking up the things I liked and could afford. I ended up with a pair of black ripped skinny jeans, a pair of black combat boots, three muscle shirts, and a new lip ring.

Stephanie had about three pairs of jeans and four tops so we ended up spending about the same amount.

The store we went to next was hot topic, where I got a leather jacket, more band shirts, a new beanie, and a black phone case that had a skull on it.

We stopped shopping at around 3:30, so we were now in the van driving home after getting food.

"Well that was fun" I commented. Stephanie laughed with a nod. Just then, my phone buzzed, signaling I had a text message from my best friend, Tom.

Tom:

Remember we have a chemistry test tomorrow to start off the week. I know you didn't study...

Alex:

You know me too well, friend cx but I'll try to study a little

Tom:

You better, have a good night

Alex:

You too, tom.

I sighed, now remembering I had a chemistry test I haven't studied for yet. Throwing my head back with a groan, Steph laughed at me.

"You'll do fine" she assured.

"How did you know what that was about?" I inquired. She shook her head.

"It lit up the window"

I giggled.

We finally reached the house and eventually made our way inside along with a ton of bags. We threw them into our rooms and then rushed into the living room so we could eat our food and watch movies.

I sat cross legged on the couch, eating my salad while Stephanie put in a movie that happened to be, The Other Women. Practically my favorite movie of all time.

We sat and laughed through the movie, and overall enjoyed ourselves.

"So, you excited for your solo in a few days?" Stephanie asked randomly. I sighed.

"Kinda. I'm extremely nervous though"

"Awh, don't be nervous! You'll do great I know it"

"Thanks Steph" I smiled.

"Anytime hon"

We finished our food and the movie, and then we parted ways and went to bed. Well, she did, at least. I stayed up and took a shower, and then watched an episode of Breaking Bad on Netflix. Also, I studied until about four in the morning, an hour before I had to wake up. So, I just didn't sleep at all, which would definitely help with the test. Note my sarcasm.

With a sigh, I stood from my bed and walked to my vanity to do my hair because I didn't do it last night. After, I did my usual eyeliner and mascara.

With another two hours until I had to leave for school, I decided to study more. Tom eventually called and quizzed me a few times, claiming I was ready. We spoke until I had to leave, so I hung up and threw on leggings, a band shirt, and a hoodie, before grabbing my belongings and rushing out the door with Stephanie.

a/n - sorry so short :/ upcoming chapters will be longer!

Also, I'm going to be moving in a few days, so I'm gonna try to write as much as I can to make up for the time I may lose.

But anyway, comment and vote?
Feedback is appreciated!
