*Beep Beep Beep*
I groaned at my alarm before moving my hand to my nightstand to grab my phone.
"Kinsley! It's time to get up" I heard my mom yell from her room. I rolled my eyes and pulled the cover off of me forcing myself out of bed and into the bathroom to start my shower.
"Why would she yell from her room?" I thought to myself
I turned on Frank Oceans new album and sang my heart out to "Ivy". I washed up for about 4 songs then figured I was clean enough and didn't need to be late for school again.
When I got out I wrapped my towel around me and went to the sink to brush my teeth and wash my face. Wiping the foggy mirror with my hand I sighed at my hair being puffy from the steamy shower. I shrugged and walked to my closet just putting on jeans and the first shirt I saw.
I rushed to the bathroom and put on foundation, although it didn't change much about my appearance I felt prettier with it on. I put on mascara and applied some lipgloss. The basic look fit me. I didn't try to hard but tried enough to look at least decent to myself.
My phone buzzed with a text from my bestfriend.
*Messages*
Nia: I'll be by you're house in 10 we can walk to school together
Me: Alright I'll be outside.
Nia: bring me a poptart. K thanks. (;
I laughed at the message. She was so small but the way her mind and hunger was set up she'd be 600 pounds. I rushed downstairs and grabbed a poptart from the kitchen. When I walked to grab my backpack I heard the doorbell.
*DingDongDing*
I rushed to the front door and grabbed my navy blue jacket since it was the first thing I saw. I shouted my loud "Bye" up the stairs to my mom and headed out the door. I gave Nia her poptart and on the walk to school she smacked on the poptart while I told her my issues. "I just really hate algebra, like when will I ever use it? Somebody please tell me." She laughed and nodded "Honestly, I've been cheating off of max since last year" Nia laughed as she took another bite of the poptart. "Seriously, I've been trying to learn but I do ask for James homework form time to time. I just don't wanna be a little cheating whore like yourself." I said giving Nia a look. She shrugged and finished her poptart "No shame in my game. I'm passing with a B and I'm loving it." We laughed at her silliness.
Within minutes we reached the school and I waved bye to her as we headed to our classes.
The day couldn't have gone any slower, each period I felt myself having to gather the strength to head to each class and dreading the hour and some minutes I'd be spending there.
When the last bell rang I basically ran out the class. I had to meet up with my friends outside and knowing them they'd leave me if I took too long. I rushed out the class and down the halls. Not paying attention I flew into someone and landed flat on the floor with my stuff plopping all over in front of me.
When I finally gathered my stuff and looked up I had noticed it was a familiar senior I ran into. He had brown skin and pretty dark eyes I stared at them for a moment then went back to gathering my things.
I rushed past him before he could say anything to me or for all I knew yell.
I heard him begin to speak, "Hey yo-" I pretended not to hear him while I hurried down the stairs and outside. When I got there I was met by the familiar faces of my friends. After talking for a while we said our goodbyes and I started our walk with Nia to her house.
"So what had you rushing out the building?" Nia spoke as she started snacking on a twizzler she bought from the store. I hesitated for a moment then sighed "I ran into Zeek today." She smiled "you finally talked to him?" I tilted my head and shook my hand to show a so-so kind of way. "I mean I bumped into him and while picking up my books I made eye contact so that counts for something right?"
She rolled her eyes "You've liked him since what, freshman year?" I playfully pushed her "that was only last year, it's not like it's been forever." She finished her twizzler and began to speak "you're such a pussycat. I don't know how I put up with you." When we turned to her house I playfully sobbed "hurtful" and we both laughed it off.
Being at Nia's consisted of Homework, Music, Netflix, sleeping and weird stuff that I can't even begin to explain. Sometimes I'd spend the night so I'd always have some clothes stored at her house just in case. As did she for my house.
We had a bowl of fruit infront of us as we listened to Beyonce's "sorry" play in the background while we scrolled through our phones. I clicked the Facebook app to see if my grandma texted me, although she barely knew how to use her phone she used Facebook fluently with the ocassional help from family members.
When I opened the app this time I was caught off guard with a message from someone that wasn't my grandmother but someone new. I popped a strawberry in my mouth and looked at the message.
*Message*
Zeek Wade: Kinsley you left your Journal or diary thing when you rushed away this afternoon. I just wanted you to know its in safe hands.
I nearly choked on the strawberry after reading the message. Nia looked up at me "Bitch are you okay?" I shook my head, "Zeek has my diary"
She nearly choked just like I did.
She looked at me with a serious face "You're fucked." I looked back at her with wide eyes "With a chainsaw. I am fucked with a chainsaw."
She shut her door and rushed back to the bed. "Don't let Isaiah hear you, you know they're probably playing the game together and you know he's a creep." Isaiah was her older brother who was also a senior and might I add was also Zeek's bestfriend. I nodded and whispered "what the hell do I say?" She shrugged "something quick you already opened it."
*Message*
Me: Oh god thanks, I didn't know I lost it but thanks for telling me, when can I get it back?
Nia and I looked over my phone anxiously waiting for a response, then she got a devious look her eyes. "What if this is a good thing." I looked at her like she was crazy "Good thing? How the hell i-" she butted in before I could finish, "I mean let's say he reads it, he knows you like him so you didn't have to say it yourself." I groaned at the idea of him reading it "but if he does read it then he also knows a lot more stuff than just a crush." Nia's face shifted to a slight frown "Oh yeah..." Just then my phone buzzed.
*Message*
Zeek Wade: I could meet you at the mall tomorrow near the food court, and maybe after that we could hang out.
Me: Oh.. Yeah that'd be great.
Zeek: Cool, I'll see you tomorrow.
Nia had been reading the messages right next to me. We both looked at each other in amazement. Nia rushed off the bed and to her closet "Well, you need to find something cute for that date tomorrow." I gulped a little, I was not ready for a date. But I mean since it is Zeek I was in no position to pass this up.
She placed out a stripped dress that if worn once before to a concert. It wasn't too much but it would turn heads for sure. I nodded in agreement to wear that tomorrow for the mall.
I agreed that is wear that dress tomorrow with my natural curls. Nia and I spent all night talking about Friday and what it would consist of.
Tomorrow would be one hell of a Friday.
