She woke up. One week until her 17th birthday, one week until daddy came home. And she was exited. She hadn't seen her dad since Black Friday when she was 4. He seemed to have run away with her mom. But that didn't matter now, when She was three her dad said he had plans for the future. And that if everything went well he would be the first to arrive at her party. Now he had a week, a week to come home and get Auntie Mae out of their house. This was going on in her head while Janie Brown showed her best friend Marc a magic trick. It was a dumb one he had seen a thousand times, one she had taught him. He was being considerate, even though her handy work was incredibly sloppy.When they were six, he was the only friend She had. They had been friends for 11 years now. But 9 years into they friendship Janie moved next door to Alexa. They had clicked and about a week later Marc and Janie had clicked to. And a year later Janie had un-clicked with Alexa. And it has been three years now and it's time for her to move away. Soon. She's like a sick puppy you try to help, but then it doesn't want to leave. But it just seems like she wants him. Wants Marc. And it made Alexa uncomfortable. Because honestly she wanted him to. But if he liked her she just want to know. He was talking but she had tuned him out. She had tuned the world out, why the simple fact that her dad was coming back.
