"it's only 11 something but why does it feel like it's two som-"

i picked up my phone as soon as i heard the ringtone go off. i didn't bother to look at the caller id but i knew it had to be either nate, my parents, or leila.

"hello?" i asked into the phone.

"is this Amira?" asked an unfamiliar voice.

i looked at my phone to see a number i didn't realize.

"yes, this is her speaking." i said sounding confused.

"this is Sam, one of Nates friends."

"blonde guy and really tall?" i asked remembering the friend who interrupted Nate and I's convo yesterday.

he chuckled, "yup, that's me."

"how'd you get my number?"

"Nate's phone."

"oh, not to be rude but what do you want?"

"the boys and i are going out to spooky world and wanted to invite a few girls."

"ok and how does this have anything to do with me?" i questioned him acting stupid.

"well you're one of the few girls we want to invite."

"oh, what time does everybody have to be there?"

"8."

"alright, i'll see you at 8." i said hanging up.

i looked over at the clock that stood on my nightstand to read 5:48. i'll get ready at 6 leaving me 12 minutes to beg my parents to let me use their car.

i went downstairs to find my parents in the kitchen. my mother was cooking while my father was sitting at the table, opening mail.

"hey," i said sitting next to my father.

"look who finally decided to come out their room." my dad joked around.

i playfully rolled my eyes and looked around the room.

"what you looking for?" mother asked.

"oh nothing."

i continued to look for the keys but sadly didn't find them.

"dinner will be ready in a few, go wash your hands." my mother told me.

"uh about that, i'm going out with a couple of friends."

"what friends?"

"uh Leila and Tracey." I lied.

"where do you guys plan to go?"

"probably to the movies and out to eat."

my mother nodded and my father looked at me.

"you need money to catch a cab to Leila's house?" he asked.

"i was gonna ask if i can b-"

"the answer is no." he said plainly interrupting me.

i sighed really loud and went back upstairs. it's not even worth arguing with him because he's just going to win. i grabbed my phone and went to recents, calling the only number that isn't saved in my phone.

"hello?"

"Sam it's Amira, i'm not going to be able to make it."

"why?"
