**Addies POV**
I wake up to the blinding light of the morning sun. Have I mentioned how much I hate waking up in the mornings? I really do. It's probably my least favorite thing in the entire world. In all honesty it's really not even that early. I look at my alarm clock. 12:30 on the dot. I have about half an hour before I have to meet the girls at squishy's. Squishy's is our favorite frozen yogurt place. We tend to go there to hangout a lot.
I make my way over to my closet. I usually tend to put a lot of thought into my outfit choices, but I was way to tired today. I pull out my light wash pair of skinny jeans and a floral t-shirt. To lazy to want to deal with laces I slip on my lavender ballet flats and a matching bracelet. For my hair I just simply clipped it back for a half up half down look. I decided against makeup and went for the natural look.
As I walk down the stairs I'm hit by the strong smell of bacon and French toast. Surprisingly I was greeted by the face of my aunt in the kitchen. "Auntie when did I you get here? I missed you so much!" I shout when I run up to her and give her the biggest hug. I have a better relationship with my aunt than most of my family. Mom and dad put tons of pressure on me to be perfect. The only person I probably get along with better than my auntie it would be my grandma. It just felt like she always understood me. It was not always easy being in this family. Sometimes it feels like I don't belong.
"Oh honey, I got in yesterday night. It's been so long! It's great to see you. You look fabulous!" She's such a sweet heart. "Thank you auntie, you too! I was just on my way out to meet the girls, but I would love to catch up with you later. Movie night?" She thought over this for what seemed like a minute. "I guess that would be fine. But only if we do The Hunger Games series marathon and there must be popcorn." I let a slight chuckle "I think I can arrange that" I give her a thumbs up and head out the door.

I walk into Squishy's and suddenly all heads turned towards me. The feeling of having something on your face suddenly rushed through me. I quickly made my way to our table. "Why are they all looking at me like that, it's creepy." In unison laughter broke through the girls. "Obviously it's from your little stunt yesterday Add, everyone knows." Lola says with her devilish smirk spreading over her face. I totally forgot they all saw me naked. I'm so embarrassed! What on earth was I thinking. I quickly get up to hide in the bathroom when I bump into a short dark haired guy. I recognize him as a freshman in our school. "Nice body you got there." I'm completely mortified. Not knowing what else to do I run out the main door and make my way to my happy place.
Most people's happy places are places found in their head or made up so they can think about them when they need to calm down. Not mine. I found mine when I was about 7 and I was with my cousin. She is about 4 years older than me and her dad said that she should take me around and show me the town. That's when I found it. About half a mile away from Squishy's, is a little hidden statue in a tucked away corner of downtown. Something about the statue just made me happy, made me forget any problem I had. I wanted this place to be mine. So with the exception of my cousin I refuse to tell anyone else. It was my safe spot.
After cooling down in my happy place I decided i should make my way home. I was so hungry, I haven't eaten a crumb all day. I stopped at the Burger King near my house and decided to pick up some chicken fries. It doesn't come with many so I was still hungry but it should hold me over until later.

I walk into the living room carrying a big bowl of popcorn. "There better be extra butter on the popcorn." I flop onto the couch. "Only the best for my auntie" we were interrupted by the knocking coming from our front door. I look over towards my aunt. "There is no way I'm getting that." She said shaking her head. I grunt and reluctantly pull myself of the couch and make my way to the door. That better be the pizza other wise I may throw the popcorn at them. After opening the door and realizing that it was in fact the pizza I gave him the money and waited as he handed me the goods. "Hey wait aren't you that girl from yesterday who..." I slammed the door in his face. I didn't need my family hearing this nor do I have any intention on reliving it.
I make my way over to my seat and whip out a piece of cheese. "So are you team Peeta or team Gale?" My auntie asks while grabbing her own slice of pizza. "Obvious question. Gale all the way. He is such a sweet heart and would do anything for Katniss. Not to mention he is pure sexiness. They should have ended up together." She just laughed and shook her head at me. "Your too much." And with that we watched the movie.
Theres something about watching a full series of movies that makes you ridiculously tired. It's not really that late. 10:30. I tend to sleep sometime before midnight. I'm definitely not a night owl, for sure. I make my way to the bathroom brush my teeth and hit the shower. It's definitely been a long weekend and I'm so ready to forget about the majority of it. I know I didn't want to feel like a ghost anymore but I didn't know people were going to talk so much about my streaking. The good part of this is I definitely got one thing of my bucket list.
After drying my hair and pulling it into a braid I head to my room stopping to say goodnight to Auntie. I open my laptop and take number 5 off my bucket list. I smile inwardly. This really will be my year for change, no more boring Addison. Tomorrow I will have to face the girls, the school oh and not to mention Derek Hollister. I completely embarrassed myself last night with him. I mean I wouldn't even let him drive me home. How am I supposed to have a relationship with Derek if I can't even accept his ride home. He probably thinks I'm a mess. A naked mess in a bush. I'm way to tired to think about this right now. I close my eyes and let the deep sleep wash over my mind and body.
