I yawn and get up, checking my phone. 15 minutes until school starts. Oh fucks.. we're so dead! I quickly grab a pair of skinny jeans and a blue sequined tee, brushing my teeth. I rush out, grabbing my phone, locking my room behind me. I skip the stairs, counting. One, two, three, four, five, six and.... I slipped. I was about to hit the floor, when an arm encircled my waist and pulled me up. Yup. As you have guessed by now, I'm a total klutz and I'm completely clumsy. I look at the person who saved me.
"Thanks Cal." I say to Caleb Johnson, my second best guy pal.
He just winks at me and I look down, blushing. I've had a huge crush on him, for about three years now. I follow him to the kitchen, where Andy(Andrea Henderson), my other best friend is eating an apple. I roll my eyes at her. She's on the cheerleading team at school and is head cheerleader. This mean that she believes in keeping her 'body' in 'shape'. I grab a toast and a glass of orange juice, gulping down the latter. Andy rolls her eyes at me and I snort. Yeah, I know. It's very un-lady-like, but whatever. I look around for Julian but he's not there.
"He's not gone yet. Chill, Zoe. He hasn't even come downstairs. I bet he's still sleeping..." Andy taunts me.
"Shit! I locked him!" I yell.
This time, Caleb snorts, spraying juice on the table. Andy glares pointedly at him and sighs at me.
"Again? Oh Lord, please tell me what to do with this girl... How will she ever learn? Good luck with that..." She tells me.
I shake my head, tiptoeing out of the kitchen, heading to my bedroom. I heard him banging repeatedly on my door. As I was going to the door, the floorboard underneath me creaks. Fuck you stupid floorboard! The banging and shouting stopped, as if he knew someone was outside the room.
"Zoe, I know it's you. Open the fucking door!"
I giggle, letting myself have the satisfaction of him having to suffer inside my room.
"Its not even funny anymore! Just open it..." He says.
I roll my eyes but unlock the door, looking inside. He's slumping on the floor,with his back on the wall, running a hand through his black hair, already in a Calvin Klein T-shirt and a pair of ripped jeans. God, just look at that! Why in the freaking world am I drooling over my best guy friend and ex-crush?
He shakes his head, takes his car keys and walks out, pushing me aside. I look around my room and spot his phone, still on the bedside table. I grin and slide it into my backpocket, first putting it on silent mode, not even vibration mode. After that, I went out, locking my room once again and sliding inside his sleek, shiny and new black Mustang.
'Too hot (hot damn) call the police and the fireman, too hot (hot damn)...' Same old, same old.
"There's a new album by 5sos. Did you buy the vinyl yet?"I ask him.
"Yeah, but I'm not gonna give it to you." he replies curtly, not taking his eyes off the road. I huff and look out of the window, ignoring him. Fine. If he wants to be like that....
