I woke up to my alarm blasting Justin Bieber's 'Baby' and i got up in less than a second to turn it off. It's not that the song is completely horrible, it just kinda got annoying. Why is my alarm on again? Oh yeah. School. I groaned as I got up from my bed, and walked toward my closet. What to wear, what to wear.

I decided on a Blink -182 shirt and some black skinny jeans with cuts on the knees because why not? I argued with myself between my Converse or Vans and decided on my black Converse.

I changed, brushed my teeth and hair, and walked out the door. I walked to the bus stop even though I hate taking the bus. I didn't have a car and Ashton was in college now so he couldn't be my ride anymore. Who has a car...? I started thinking until I suddenly remembered. Michael! I quickly pulled my phone out from my back pocket and pressed Michael's name on my contacts.

"Hello?" Michael answered. Im guessing he just woke up because his voice was deep, very deep.

"Hey, can you drop me off at school?"

"Oh, sh.it, did I forget to tell you? Sh.it I think I did."

"Tell me what?"

"I kinda dropped out of school." He what?

"Did I hear you correctly?"

"If you heard me tell you that I dropped out, then yep, you heard correctly." Fu.ck.

"Damnit. Now who am I gonna talk to? You know I'm not very social." I really wasn't very social. Most people at that damned high school hated me so meh, I didn't bother talking much.

"Uhmm... I GOT IT. Call Calum!" Holy fu.ck I forgot about Calum.

"Sh.it you're right, mkay ima call him." I told Michael as I tried to remember if I still had his number saved.

"Can I go back to sleep now?" Michael asked, obviously tired.

"Sure. Night - well morning Michelle." I teased.

"ITS MICHAEL DAMNIT." Michael yelled into the phone as he hanged up.

I go through my contacts until I finally reach what I was looking for.

"Cal-Pal, whatcha doing?" I asked through the phone.

"No, honey, what are you doing, calling me while I'm driving?"

"Can you pick me up?" I asked.

"Sure. Are you near the bus stop by your neighborhood?"

"Yep."

"Alright I'm on my way."

"YAY I LOV-" is all I can say until Calum hangs up on me.

Calum arrives 5 minutes later, and I spare no time to get into his car.

"You really need to get a car, April."

"I've been saving up for one, and I think I have enough money but I dont know what car to choose. Help?" I beg.

"Don't get a white one cause you'll get it all dirty." I glared at him and roll my eyes.

"Im not THAT messy, I mean I can always wash it."

"Sure you could." He rolls his eyes as he pulls up to the above-ground Hell.

"Thanks for the ride Cal-Pal. ALSO can I ask you for another favor?" I ask him while we walk through the gates of Hell.

"That depends. Does it involve any illegal sh.it?"

"Nope. I just need help making more friends." I tell him as someone accidentally bumps into me, and they mutter a 'watch it bit.ch' as I flick them off. Calum just glares at me
