I Can Ride

The Dinner

I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed. I got up out of bed and walked into my bathroom. I brushed my hair and it laid straight down my back with little ringlets at the bottom. I brushed my teeth and walked back into my room. I pulled out a pair of ripped, light wash skinny jeans, a black t-shirt that says "Little Black Tee" on it and my new pair of black leather Roxy boots with silver studs on the sides of them. I put on some eye liner, mascara and concealer, grabbed my phone and my back pack and walked down the stairs. My dad was in the kitchen cooking breakfast so I sat down at the table. "Good morning dad." I said. "Good morning sweetheart." He grabbed a plate from the cabinet and placed two chocolate chip pancakes, three pieces of bacon and two half pieces of toast on it and set it down in front of me. I muttered a thank you and dug right in. 

After I finished eating, I placed my dish in the sink. "Ok dad I'm leaving." I shouted. "Ok. Oh and don't forget about the dinner tonight. I'll be working later in the afternoon so be ready by 6:30 because I'm going to pick you up here and then we'll go." he shouts back. "KK." I say before I walk out the door, shutting it behind me.

Once I get to school, I walk to my locker and get out my English textbook and made my way to class. When I got there, the group was already sitting on top of the desks in a circle, gossiping away. "Hey guys." I say. "Hey Candy." they all say together. I burst out laughing and soon they all join me. "Dude that was hilarious." I say, trying to catch my breath. We all stop laughing eventually and then the bell rings, signaling that first period is about to start.

By the time lunch rolled around, I wasn't  that hungry. I was still full from breakfast this morning. Plus, I have that dinner tonight, and usually when people invite dad and I over for dinner, they make a lot of food. So I want to take sure that I have a big enough apatite for tonight. "After Pete and the girls get there food they meet me at our usual table. "Why aren't you eating Candy?" Emily asks me. "Oh, I'm still full from breakfast this morning." She nods her head in understanding. "Oh hey, we were planing on going to the mall again this afternoon, you're coming right?" Simba asks. "No I can't actually. One of my dad's co-workers invited us over for dinner with him, his wife and his son." "Oh." she says. "But you guys should definitely still go. Try on a few cute things for me." I say with a reassuring smile. "Yeah maybe. Oh, is that guys son our age?" "I don't know, I didn't ask my dad but I think so." "Maybe he'll be a hottie." Simba says with a big smile plastered on her face. I laughed and shock my head. My friends are crazy.

******At home after school******

After I got home I went straight to my room and started on my homework. It was 3:30 and I have to be ready by 6:30. So i have about and hour and a half before I have to start getting ready. I pulled out my English homework and got started on it. I have to write an essay on one of the books we're reading. It's not due until next Monday but I figure I'll just go ahead and get a head start on it, that way I don't wait till the last minute. 

I worked on my essay for about an hour and then for the last thirty minutes, I figured I'd go ahead and work on a couple math problems, that way when I tutor with Emily tomorrow, I'll have improved at least a little bit. I mean, I don't want her to have to constantly keep going over the same things with me. I should do my part in this just as much as her.

After I worked on several problems, I put all my things back into my back pack and got off my bed and walked into the bathroom. I turned the water and started the shower. I stripped out of my clothes and stepped into the shower. I washed my hair and my body and shaved my legs and underarms. Once I was done I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body. I walked back into my bedroom and slipped on a pair of panties and a bra. I went over to my drawers and started looking through them to pick out what I was going to wear. I decided on a pair of dark skinny jeans, a bluish-teal shirt with a lace back and my black and neon converses. I changed into my clothes and then went back into my bathroom to straighten my hair.
