You Know That I'm No Good

I woke up around 10 on my own. I got up and took a shower. It was so quiet without Alex home.

I got out and put on a black crop top and black leggings with ankle boots. I actually straightened my hair and put on makeup today. I looked into the mirror and nodded at myself, not bad.

"STEPHANIE!" I heard Alex scream along with the door slamming against the wall.

I jumped at her roar and turned to look outside my door as she came running into my room.

"Oh, you're up" She said then smiled, "I got the best news ever"

I raised my eyebrows, a way of showing her that she can tell me.

"Tonight we're gonna party because we're graduating!" Alex yelled.

I screamed and ran to her. I passed! I was finally graduating college! I hugged Alex tighter than I ever had.

"I've got to call my parents!" I shouted and ran to my phone.

I sat on the edge of my bed, dialing my moms number. God, it would be SO nice to see my mom. I haven't seen her since Christmas when I went down to Florida.

"Hi sweetie" My mom answered.

"Mom, guess what!" I smiled.

"What?!" She asked.

"I'm graduating college!"

She gasped, "Stephanie! That's wonderful! When is the ceremony? I want to see my little girl get her certificate" She said, sounding almost in tears.

"I'm not sure. I'll let you know when we know. But mom please don't get emotional, I just did my makeup" I laughed.

"Oh that's so you. You use to tell me not to cry when I was on the verge of tears and now.. I'm too happy to hold them back"

"Well get off the phone then before I start crying"

I heard her sniff then laugh softly, "Okay. You be good and remember to let me know. I love you"

I smiled, "Okay. Love you" I said then hung up.

"Was she crying?" Alex asked.

"Yeah. Poor thing" I chuckled.

As I was locking my phone, I got a text message from Chris. When I saw his name, my heart began racing. I clicked on his name and read his text. 'Hey, I don't know if this sounds weird or not but I wanted to know if you'd like to get coffee with me after the shoot? Lemme know'

I smiled big then replied 'Sure. I'd love too!'

"Dude, it's eleven fifty eight! We have to go!" Alex shouted as she ran out of my room.
I grabbed my flats from the closet and ran out with Alex. We hoped into her car and she drove the hotel Chris was staying at. It was funny to me because no matter what, Alex and I were always late. We got to the hotel pretty quick thanks to Alex. Thank God we didn't get a ticket because she was speeding and it was noticeable. We parked and went in.

"There's Sam" Alex said as we got into the lobby.

I looked and saw him talking with Chris. The same feeling came over me that always happened when I saw Chris. I didn't understanding why he had such a force on me.

"Hey, there you two are" Sam smiled, moving his attention towards us.

"Here we are" I laughed softly.

"You must be Mrs. Cortez" Chris said to Alex, extending his arm out to her, "How are you feeling?"

"Better. Thank you" She smiled then sighed "Well, we can get started with the photoshoot"
