Maddie’s POV
I’m a seventeen year old girl that is off on her own. My best friend, Mary, and I are roommates at the University of Alabama and we both are in the Nursing Program. I never knew how hard it would be to accomplish my dreams but I know I can do it.
“What’s up hoe?” is the first thing I hear after I open the door to our dorm. I love living with Mary. It helps a lot that I’ve known here since birth pretty much. We are the same person because we act just alike. I swear it’s actually kind of scary but it’s the truth.
“Just got out of a lab. When do you have class today?” putting down all of my stuff, I grab my phone and see that my boyfriend had called me. Ehhh I don’t feel like talking to him right now. It’s just one of those days where you just want to hang out with your girlfriends and just forget about having a boyfriend.
“I don’t have it today. It got canceled because our teacher got sick or something. You know how Mr. Meeks is sometimes.” I throw my phone on to my chair and then lay down on my bed. Mary was just lying on her bed reading her book but stopped once I sighed really loudly and looked at me. “What’s wrong?”
I honestly don’t know what is wrong. I just have been so tired and so out of it lately. I feel like I’m not supposed to be here. Something just doesn’t feel right. “Um nothing! Just exhausted from all these classes!” I don’t want to bother Mary with my problems because I know she has her own and I know she doesn’t need mine on her mind right now as well.
“Do you want to go shopping?”
“I swear it’s like you read my mind. I seriously just need a girl’s day out!” When I get off my bed, my phone starts to ring and I already know how it is, my boyfriend. “UGH!” I sign and answer it regretting what was to come. I don’t know what is going on but we have been fighting a lot lately and it is so annoying. I’m the type of person that hates to fight unless there is a reason but you know guys, half the time they want to fight they really don’t have a good enough reason. “Hello”
“Hey babe. What are you doing?”
“Going to the mall with Mary for a girl’s day out. How is Auburn?” You know of course I’m having a long distance relationship. Yeah they don’t work out very well, I can tell you that!
“I thought I would come up for the weekend and hang out with you since we haven’t seen each other in almost over a month but whatever. You can have your girl’s day out.”
“Are you kidding me Kyle? I told you to come up last weekend because I was completely free but you said you didn’t want to come because you were too busy at a party. Don’t you dare say that.”
“Maddie you never have time for me anymore. You’re either studying all the time or with Mary! You see Mary everyday so I don’t get why you have to have a girl’s weekend with her again!”
“Kyle! I’m not fighting with you about this. You are serious just trying to start shit out of nowhere! I’m going shopping and I will call you later tonight. We will talk about you coming up on Saturday. Bye.”
Mary just looks at me and I just look at her. I go into the closet to change because I’m not wearing my scrubs to the mall. I couldn’t find anything cute to wear because I just didn’t feel like looking cute so I just put on some Nike shorts, a T-shirt, and my Chaco’s.
“Alright I’m ready. Let’s go!” I grab my keys and walk out of the dorm. I honestly can’t believe Kyle is mad about me going shopping with my roommate on a Friday night. Seriously he can come up on Saturday but no he will probably have one of his stupid parties tonight. It is so obvious that he cares about parties about more than he cares about me but some reason I’m still with him. I think it is because I’ve been with him since junior year of high school. I’m not even going to think about him right now because honestly he isn’t worth my time right now.
