Skylar

Milk. Milk. Milk. Milk. Milk. Milk.

If I were a carton of milk, where would I be hiding?

How do you not have milk?

I looked around the small kitchen and sighed, first no bread, no eggs, no pop tarts, and no lunch meat. There's cereal, but no milk to have with it! Does he expect me to eat dry cereal? 

Not gonna happen buddy boy.

"Ryan!" I screamed while slamming the fridge shut. He walked into the kitchen and sighed, "What the hell-whoa." he noticed my pissed off stance with my arms crossed, leaning on one leg, eyes narrowed, he knew I wasn't happy.

"We have no food."

He swallowed; did I scare him that much? That's pretty cool...I wonder how many other people I scare... "I know, I need to get some food."

"Well, I'm starving, and we have no food. And you do not want to see me when I'm hungry and sleep deprived...not a pretty sight. Now." I grabbed a pen and a notepad from a drawer and wrote down some of the needed food, "This is the piece of paper that we will use to write a grocery list on. If we're out of something, write it down and you or I will get it. But, we better not run out of food again or I will explode." 

Ryan nodded as I set the paper down and walked past him, "We're leaving in five minutes. Be ready or I'm leaving your ass here."

Even after my nine hour work day, I was still slightly mad at Ryan for not having any food earlier. I love food, so as a food lover, I need food.

"You still coming over?" 

I looked over at Chloe and saw her leaning on the counter beside me, "Huh?"

She looked at me as if I were stupid, "We made plans for you to come over tonight...remember?"

I gave her a confused look, but then remembered talking to Chloe last night about me going to her place tonight to get away from Ryan. "Oh yeah! I'm sorry, I completely forgot about that."

"Its fine." she shrugged, "You don't have to come over."

I shook my head, "No. I want to come over. I could use a night with a friend."

She smiled and we walked around the counter together. As we were nearing the door, Ryan fell into step beside me, "Well hello ladies. How are we doing on this fine evening?"

"Ry, one of us doesn't like you and the other is in a committed relationship, nice try." he shrugged and looked at me, "Are we leaving."

"Oh, right." I looked over at Chloe and back to Ryan, "About that, I made plans to go to Chloe's yesterday, and I completely forgot about it until now. Do you think that you could catch a ride with someone else?"
