It was another day. Wake up with a hangover, get over hangover, go out, get drunk yet again.
It was a continuous cycle. An unbroken repetition.
I got up and made my way to the bathroom. My shaky hands found the cabinet door and opened it, causing the pill bottle to fall out. I simply unscrewed the lid, took two, and dry swallowed them. Once they were put away, I found my way downstairs.
I noticed a figure sitting at my table and I rolled my eyes.
"You shouldn't leave your apartment unlocked, it's dangerous," he joked.
"Hello to you too, Jack," I muttered.
"Someone hit it hard last night," he laughed and opened a cabinet, pulling out some fruit loops.
"Speak for yourself, I saw you and Alex last week clubbing it up with some ladies who didn't know how to dress properly," I shook my head at the memory.
"Point taken," he agreed as he pulled out some bowls and the milk.
I snatched the cereal from his hands and thrust my hand into it. I shoved a handful in my mouth and then noticed Jack's face. He was seconds away from peeing himself.
"What?" I said, not remembering that I had a mouthful of fruit loops. They sprayed out of my mouth and Jack collapsed in laughter. I shrugged and picked up the spewed cereal and ate it.
My eyes looked over the counter to find Jack on the ground, clutching his stomach. "What the fuck is wrong with you? Crackhead," I muttered, shaking my head.
"Shut up," he mumbled, getting up off the floor. I dumped the fruit loops in one of the bowls and poured the milk on it. I looked around the counter and laughed.
"What?" Jack asked looking up from his trance with the very colorful box.
"You forgot the spoons, dipshit," I chuckled. He waved me off and went back to the box.

A little while later, I went out with my friend, Nicole. She was Rian's cousin.
"Which one should I get?" I asked as I held up two of the 1975 tops the store had.
"That one," she said as she pointed to the plain black with the simple 'The 1975' logo. I nodded and threw it over my arm. I then proceeded to get a Pvris tee as well as a Pierce The Veil muscle tee.
Nicole had picked up a Paramore sweatshirt and a black leather skirt.
I grabbed a Bring Me The Horizon tee, and made my way to the cashier. My arms then decided to pick up a Don't Panic! long sleeved shirt, a very prominent smirk on my face.
After I checked out, (the cashier was an old friend, so she knew not to bring attention to me and Nic) we made our way to the food court.
"Panda Express," we said in unison. We laughed as we walked to the little restaurant in the huge mall.
When we had finished stuffing our faces with Chinese food, we walked into Urban Outfitters.
I was staring at vinyls and eyeing a crop top, while Nic was wandering around. Eventually, I ended up buying the crop top as well as Pvris's album White Noise on vinyl.
"Nic!" I yelled as I walked to the checkout. She was nowhere to be found. "Not again," I mumbled. I quickly paid for my items and dialed Jack's number.
"Hello?" His voice called after three rings.
"Did Nic find her way to you once more?" I sighed. I hear his chuckle from the other end, "Yeah. She took your car as well."
"Damn it, Nicolette Dawson!" I yelled. A customer standing next to me scoffed, so I flipped them the bird without looking at them.
"I sent Alex to come get you," he explained, "He should be there by now."
I stood still, my eyes scanning the crowd looking for the outgoing loser, known as my ride.
Arms wrapped around my waist and lifted me into a spin, causing me to scream.
"Alex you fucking asshat!" I yelled, but also laughed.
"Nice to see you, too, babe," he greeted. I rolled my eyes and started walking out of the mall.
Thankfully, I had already paid for everything, so I didn't get frisked by the security guard again. Alex dragged me through the mall to the entrance.
Once in the car, he spoke, "Let's go somewhere, yeah?" My eyes met his and we shared a smirk. I quickly nodded and he drove to our destination.
We reached the grocery store and ran in, buying supplies. Eggs, toilet paper, silly string, mentos, coke, and other things. We made our ways to the registers, smiling proudly at our items.
"Definite prank war. Barakat-Dawson vs. Barakat-Gaskarth," I laughed maniacally and the cashier gave me a strange look, looked at our items, and nodded in understanding.
"Are you ready?" Alex asked as we loaded the bags of supplies into the car.
"I was born ready, Gaskarth," I flipped my hair over my shoulder and threw my aviators on. He rolled his eyes and closed the trunk of his car.
When we finally reached Alex and Jack's house, we started planning.
"Eggs and silly string first, mentos in the cokes after, and we save the toilet paper to take their room out?" Alex decided. I nodded, "What about the rest?"
"That's for next time," he winked. I shook my head, laughing. We took no time loading the eggs all into two cartons and two silly string each. I knocked on the door and it swung open, revealing Jack.
"Now!" Alex yelled. The silly string then coated Jack, as well as the launched eggs. Jack screamed in terror, causing Nicole to run in. I shifted my aim towards her, and she shrieked.
"Shit!" I yell, noticing I'm out of eggs.
"I have your back!" Alex yelled in my direction. He handed me his half empty carton and pulled out more cans of silly string, continuing to attack Jack. Quickly, the eggs flew from my hand to Nicole's body.
"Go Jess, Go Alex!" A voice screamed. I looked to see Rian and Zack at the top of the stairs, cheering me and Alex on.
We finally ran out of eggs and silly string, and called a day of truce. Little did they know of Alex and I's plan.
