Monday morning I wake up early for school. After doing my usual morning routine and put on the most perfect outfit thats a mixture between classy and sexy I head down stairs. Nothing says classy like converse and sexy like jeans and a hoodie.
"Hi mum." I say, seeing her making coffee in the kitchen.
"Hey honey. You want some coffee?" she asks
"Is that a serious question?" I joke. She laughs slightly at this and turns back to the coffee machine. Going to stand next to her I get to see her face clearly. She has large black bags under both of her eyes and her hair is twisted into a messy bun with half of it falling out.
Mum is a nurse at the hospital and she loves her job, but we all know how tiring it is for her. She mostly has late night shifts and sleeps whenever she's home. But considering the hospital she works at is a while away she sometimes stays with her friend who lives around the corner from her work. All in all, Neither me or Lauren see much of her at all. Growing up it was quite difficult but we kinda got used to the feeling, and we always had each other.
"How was work?" I ask her carefully, looking at her side on. She sighs at this.
"It was good. Stressful but good. A patient that I have had for a while dealing with leukaemia just got released with a full recovery." She says smiling at this. Mum is so passionate about helping people which is why Lauren and I could never ask for her to quit for us.
"Morning mum!" Lauren yells as she walks down the stairs and kisses mum on the cheek.
"Good morning sweetie." Mum says handing me my coffee. "Now that you two are here I have some news to tell you."
"What's up?" I ask sitting at the bench next to Lauren.
"I am not going to be here tonight. I am going out with Marie, our new neighbour." Mum says excitedly smiling.
"Kotas mum?" I ask before I can stop myself. She pauses for a second surprise on her face before answering.
"Why yes. Marie mentioned that she has a son called Kota, and a little girl. But how did you know that?" Mum asks. Thats right, Kota has a little sister, weird how I have never seen her.
"Yes, How did you know that dear Finn." Lauren asks turning to me and smiling at me evilly.
"Umm, he umm well he moved to my school, he's in my grade." I say.
"Oh, well thats nice. Is he a nice boy?" She asks
"He's...quite nice." I respond sipping my coffee.
"I bet he's a dork, If he is friend's with you." Says Lauren.
"He is not a dork, he's like nice ya know." I respond awkwardly and defensively.
"He's probably ugly too." Lauren says. Oh if only she knew the truth.
"Lauren, Please." Says mum looking at her sternly. "Finn its 8:00, won't Ben be here soon?" She says turning to me.
"Oh crap. Yeah he will be." I say, hoping up and chugging the rest of my coffee.
"Well have fun at school Kids. I am going to take a much needed nap." She says yawning and heading up the stairs. Man, I wish I could go back to bed now.
I walk out the front door to call Ben, who after a few rings answers.
"Hello, Iowa sperm bank, you squeeze it, we'll freeze it. How can I help you?" I hear on the other end of the line.
"Hahaahahhah BEN?!? What the hell?" I ask still laughing.
"What! It's funny." Responds Ben. "Whats up Finn?"
