Emily Sanders and the List (on hold)

Chapter 5

My eyes fluttered open to see the light shining through my window. I roll over to check the time.

8:30

Groaning I roll over again till I'm on my back, I drape my arm across my eyes so I don't have to see the light. Not moving a muscle, I stay like that for a few minutes.

I'm finally pulled out of my thoughts when my phone starts to play 'Worth it' indicating that Kate is calling.

I reach over with the arm not covering my face and hit talk.

"Yeah?" I ask, my voice strained from just waking up.

"What's up bitch!" Kate yells. I pull my phone away from my ears.

"Nothing I just woke up." I said

"Well perfect, John and I are going to the mall. You wanna come?"

To be honest, I don't want to go anywhere today, even if it is Saturday. My body is just screaming no. As if when I get up it will break.

"Listen, I'm not really in the mood for anything today" I tell her as nicely as possible

"O what's wrong are you ok? How did the appointment go? Do you want me to come over?" She starts to sound worried

"No no I'm fine. I'm just really tired and sore. I promise I will tell you about the appointment later"

"Are you sure you don't need me?"

"No go enjoy your day. Besides when was the last time you and John hung out alone?" Even though she can't see me I start to wiggle my eyebrows.

"O my god Em stop" I know she is blushing. "Ok well I got to go. Call me if you need anything ok bitch?"

"Ok."

"I love you"

"Love you too" I then hang up and throw my phone on the bed.

I curl up into a ball as slow as I can. I grab as much blanket that I can and try to get comfortable. Soon I close my eyes and let sleep take over.

About two hours later I wake up to my phone vibrating again. I pick it up and look at the screen. I got another text from Caleb.

Be ready, I'm picking you up in 30 minutes.

I groan once again before responding

Do I have to?

I try and close my eyes but is soon interrupted once again .

Yes you do

I quickly send him and angry fine and put my phone down. I take a deep breath and attempt to lift myself up. However I fall down on my bed from being to weak.

After 3 tries I finally get up and head tho the bathroom. I ignore the mirror like always and hop into the cold shower. The cold water helps wake my body up a little. When I get out I feel a bit stronger then before. I put on my underwear and brush my hair, leaving it to air dry. I walk back to my room and throw on my brown slippers, leggings and a tank top. I put my blue sweatshirt over it and I'm done. I mean, its not like I have to try for this boy. I don't even know him.

I go back and grab my phone, seeing Caleb sent me a message 15 minutes ago.

O I like them feisty. ;)

I roll my eyes and head downstairs. When I see my mom I tell her Good morning.

"Good morning sweetie. Where are you off to?" She asks me while I take my pills and pack a few in my purse just in case. What do I tell her. O I'm just going to hang out with this guy I barely know so we can finish this bucket list I made of things to do before I die. Yeah no thanks.
