I woke up at the sound of my alarm that I forgot to turn off I slowly got up and stretched my aching muscles then reached over to turn off the alarm.
I got up and walked over to my wardrobe and threw on a pair of shorts and a checkers sleeveless top. I walked over to the door and opened it then walked down the stairs.
Since I didn't get dinner last night I started to make a big breakfast. I grabbed my phone from the counter and called Michael as the toast cooked.
"hello?" he asked in a tired but rough voice. "I'm making breakfast and if you're not here within half an hour I'm eating without you" I say and he groans. "why can't you just sleep like a normal-" I hang up just to tick him off.
I had the eggs and orange juice layed out and the toast and pancakes waiting on the table within five minutes I hear my phone go off.
"hey I knocked you didn't answer now open the door" he said chuckling and I giggled. "well you have to say the magic word don't you?" I question. "okay shazam now open the door" he says laughing. I kiss my teeth then hang up as I go to open the door.
He walked in and glared at me. "well aren't you a comedian?" he says and we both laugh we walk over to the table and dig in.
My phone went off but this time it was James. I look to Michael and showed him the phone.
"Answer it" he said shrugging his shoulders and I furrowed my brows.
"hello" I answer. "Hello Skyler I'm driving to school want a lift?" he asks and I think back to last night when he offered me a lift.
"uh..em nah I'm grand I'll talk to you later" I say and he grunts, "fine" then hangs up.
I set my phone down and keep eating. "you okay?" he asked gazing at me, and I smiled. "of course" I say and he smiles back.
After breakfast we clean up and I look to the clock and see its already half two. "Hey wanna go for a drive?" Michael says and I nod my head.
We walked out and I locked the door and we got into his car, "So are you still with James?" he asked looking over at me with his big brown eyes.
"I guess" I say looking away. "you know I'm always gonna protect you, your my best friend and he isn't going to touch you" he said and I smiled but he was very serious.
"I know" I say and we started driving. We were driving in silence and I watched the wind blow back his dark chestnut hair back.
"So..Friday..first proper party" I say and he rolls his eyes and sighs out. "what?" I asked and he smiled" and he starts mimicking Mia.
"Omg you should totally come to my party it's so...um chill Omg Peerrf" he said putting on a squeaky girl voice and I started to laugh.
"I know but why are you going then?" I ask and he turns his face to me. "because if I don't go my dad's gonna start getting suspicious and will want me to be all social and that's effort" he says looking back at the road.
I smile and he looks over. "so where we going? He asks and I shrugged my shoulders." roof?" he asked and I nodded.
We drove back to my house to see a silver porche in my drive way. We drive in and I see a very angry looking James.
He walkes over and Michael gets out."you okay dude?" he asks and I just stay in the car. "so you're fucking cheating on me?" he asks looking into the window right at me.
"woah woah dude she never cheated" he argued. "I WASNT TALKING TO YOU" James snapped and Michael put his hand out.
"I think you should leave" Michael said closing the car door. "and I think you should shut the fuck up" he James walked over to my side of the car.
"I love you but this is fucking bullshit" he says and scowl at him. He walks back to his car and drives out I watch as Michael get in the car and we Park in the garden.
We get out and go inside. We sat down on the couch and stayed there not talking just sitting there. "tomorrow were going to the coffee shop after school are you gonna be serving?" he asked and I nodded.
"okay good, you gonna be in school tomorrow?" he asked and I smiled. "sure" I say and he smiles, "good" he continues. "alrighty well I have to go I'm babysitting tonight I'll talk to you later" he said and nodded. "and I wouldn't suggest leaving the house just in case" he said and my smile faded.
He left and then I turned on the TV I sat there until mum came in. "hey sweetie, the school called" she said laying her handbag on the table and folding her arms.
"really" I say looking up at her. "yeah you weren't in, you okay?" she asked and I nodded. "you'll be in tomorrow though won't you" she said and I nodded.
"Okay you go upstairs and pick out something to wear for Friday and I'll get dinner ready" she said and I knitted my brows together. "how did you know?" I ask and she smiled.
"mias Mum may have mentioned it" she says smiling and I roll my eyes then walk upstairs.
I walked into my room and walked to my wardrobe I opened it and peered around it pulling out a few pieces of fabric and examining it.
I didn't want to wear something flashy but it was a very..sophisticated.
I looked around and gave up soon after ten minutes. I took my phone out of my pocket and called Mia.
"hi skyler what's up?" she asked and I started to stumble over my words. "em...will..you..uh..come shopping with me this Thursday?" I asked and I heard he screech. "omg of course but I have to go right now I'll see you later" she answered and I let out a sigh." okay bye" I say then hang up.
I walk out to the hallway and close the door behind me. I walked downstairs and enter the kitchen to see my mam making food.
"want help?" I ask and she turns on her heels. "no no that's okay, but can you get the plates and cutlery?" she asked turning back around before giving me a quick smile.
"of course" I say turning tO the cupboards and opening it revealing the clean white plates.
I grabbed a few plates and turned around to the table and put the plates on the table.
I walked past my mum as she put the food out and I grabbed the knives and forks.
I walked over and sat down and we dug in. "so..are you going to cut your hair anything soon?" I stopped chewing and looked up.
"em..I kinda like it this long" I say fiddling with a few strands. "The other day you got it caught in the door" she said laughing.
"But I like it" I say looking down at my palms I never argued with my mom, but my hair is something I take pride in. "well, okay but the split ends are to be trimmed okay?" she had a faint smile.
"yes" I say smiling and then went to put the dishes away. "okay I'm going to gotake a bath I'll see you soon" I walked upstairs as my mom yelled good night and I went for the handle of my door but the door was slightly open.......
