ROXANNE-
To what have seemed to be two seconds in between every time I tapped my snoozed button, I began to think how that was even physically possible seeing as I always set my alarms five minutes apart for these dreadful school mornings. As per usual I finally cooperate by the time the third alarm goes off but I don't get up entirely, I lay in bed and check all my social media notifications. None of them involving my friends of course just mainly notifications for all my celebrity baes. You could say I was trash for most pop rock bands and any male artist that could sing or dance with aesthetically pleasing faces and jawlines.
After a solid half an hour I gradually get out bed and mentally prepare myself for this place I call hell but others call it school. As soon I place my phone on my dresser while charging it, I proceed to having a shower but I get not one but three messages at the same time appearing on my screen reading;
"wake up lazy ass and stop sleeping through your alarms, get ready I'll come get you in an about 45mins :)) "
From-Dysn 7:39am"come downstairs and make us your bomb ass pancakes when ur ready"
From -Jaxon 7:39am" also dysn is picking us up in about 45mins so hurry up "
From -Jaxon 7:40 amI silently laugh to myself while replying to my pest of best friends. Dysn knows me too well to know I always sleep through my alarms and hate mornings in general as he sends me similar messages every morning at the same time.
As for Jaxon, his parents are away on a business trip together in Australia for eight months so my mom insisted he stays with us for the time being. Even though he's my neighbour my mom wouldn't let him stay in that big house home alone, which doesn't really make a difference because it's just my mom and I who live in our two storey house exactly the same layout as his. I think my mom just has a soft spot for him because he is basically like her son we've been neighbours for years now. This would be his second month living here with us and I love it. He's so annoying but i love him, I love having his joyful vibes around.
After I shower and get dressed I quickly run downstairs and into the kitchen to find a desperate jaxon struggling trying to distinguish what packet label reads flour and sugar. I let out a mocking laugh unintentionally that filled the entire house. "shut up roxy, a nigga be desperate out here trying to eat some dang pancakes" he playfully says while scoffing out giggles. "Well I appreciate you finally trying to do something on your own but please step aside and let chef curry get to work" I cockily say knowing damn well I'm boss when in the kitchen. "okay you cocky bitch get at it gurl, dysn will be here soon" he laughs.
With Blink 182- all the small things blasting in our kitchen speakers, Jaxon and I eat my bomb ass banana pancakes and dance like fools around our kitchen counters. Hysterically laughing at each-other as we both try and out sing each-other while stuffing our faces with pancakes. Then suddenly we both hear dysns voice singing along and the next thing he comes in frolicking in as his overly happy self like he always is. We all laugh together and share the last couple of minutes eating brekky and dancing like fools until we have to leave for school aka HELL.
We all step out my front door and walk over my driveway where dysn parked his dark navy blue dodge. "Shotgun" Jaxon practically yells in my ear while sprinting to the vehicle. "oh whatever I shot gun aux chord then" i scold with a cheeky smirk. "urrgh fine..well I guess you are the profound Aux Chord Lord" he genuinely states." " Boy you better know what's up." I sassily state.
The 15min drive to school consisted of the most diverse playlist ever. All three of us are literally so eclectic and we listen to all most every genre of music well except for country music because..well because it sucks ass.
If any person was to ride with us they would honestly get so frustrated because we can never listen to a entire song, we rewind songs multiple times just so Jaxon can record him lip syncing to song for a snapchat video and manly because the music will shuffle from Michael Jackson -Tupac -Nirvana -Chris Brown -5sos -Drake- Blink 182 -The 1975 -Bryson tiller- Chase Atlantic and quite frankly ain't nobody can handle all that musical goodness.
As I see we were almost at school i announce " in reference for today I'd like to give a special shoutout to my fav artists ever" I play Jaxon and dysn's new ep single bout you (pray for you), I cheekily wait in the gap of the backseat to see their reaction and instantly when the bass drops in the intro they get hella hyped up and you literally feel their excitement. In the previous summer all we did together was create musical fusion with each-other and we all proudly sing along to the lyrics to the song, who am I kidding we were obnoxiously yelling out the windows to any pedestrian in sight.
This morning was officially our first day as seniors and with all the excitement of finally finishing school and senior priorities and the bumpin senior parties came along all the stress of adulthood. Although all summer Jaxon, dysn and I would all talk about our futures together, as of today we were all living in the moment and cherishing every minute as the reckless teens we are while struggling in high school with great taste in music.
