Friends

I really want to see my friends today, don't get me wrong, I just.. I just don't want to get out of bed, deal with people, be in public, have to get dressed and smile and pretend I'm the person they all think I am. We're having a sort of late Christmas at the mall, and I guess it'll be good to get away from my dad, but I can't get up, I can't. And though, yes, I am the laziest person you will ever meet, this is different, this so so different.

"Isabella get your ass up, we have to be at the mall in fifteen minutes. I woke up early for this so don't you dare tell me you've cancelled." He slammed my door shut, leaving the colorful glass shaking behind him. Guess I'm going to the mall today anyway.

"Izzzyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" Two high pitched voices rang in my ears as I approached my favorite store, Hot Topic. I stared at the two awkward giants looming over me ( Storiesarebeter Amelia and aliveoronlybreathing me, Ash) and waved sleepily. This is going to be a long day. I paste a smile on my face, readjust the grip on my bag, and walk over. No Mikey.. ( cantmakeadifference )

"Hey guys, no Mikey?"

"They texted, they're gonna be late." The two awkwardly sit down, slowly, obviously uncomfortable and unsure as to what to do. I stand on front of them, in the same state, awkwardly flailing. Help.

We've been together all day, at the mall, then I brought them hone (my father sure loved that) and then we went to sushi. I'm alone now, bored, stating blankly at my ceiling. What a day. Stevie never showed up, Mikey met us in the food courts, we exchanged presents. In the food court, we sat at the tiny plastic table that's about a foot tall. That wasn't awkward, weird, or creepy at all. I'm waiting for something to happen, not sure what though. Maybe I'll get a text, a call, or maybe my dad will come in to say goodnight, or yell about something else. Who knows, but I'm waiting, wondering if it will ever come, if I will ever be happy.
