Plastic Taste || Joji Miller

Chapter 8

I'm so happy. I could actually scream.

I happily jumped the stairs to my room.

I threw myself on the bed smiling to myself.

Closing my eyes.

///

I woke up rubbing my eyes.

7am. Just in time. I got up and went to my closet.

Picking out a random outfit.

I put on some mascara and took my backpack.

////

Sat threw the lessons, Passing notes with Joji once again.

Max was doing something on his phone and so was Ian.

They both are so depressed. We sat in Max's living room.

"Guys come on." I whined.

"What?" Max snapped.

My eyes widened, I stood up. "Nothing."

And walked out of his house. Max has never snapped at me ever. I guess I'm that annoying.

I walked into my house throwing the backpack as far as I could.

One month left till summer. Time is running fast. I will graduate. What will I even do after? Relate my life to art?

I went up the stairs and took my laptop.

I searched up Max's channel that we created a year ago.

I watched the videos where I was.

He makes me happy. He is family. I know that he loves me differently but I don't. I love him so much but in a brotherly way.

I turned on some music, turning it up all the volume. Maybe I will forget my problems.

///

I was shaken awake.

I sat up and looked at the person.

"Hmmm?" I mumbled.

"Hey honey." Dad spoke.

I smiled at him. Rubbing my eyes.

"I wanted to ask, would you go to your moms for a month in summer?" He sat down on my chair.

I just looked at him. "Are you for real?" I asked.

"Yeah, just a month. Please? She misses you like crazy and you could take a break from all the boys you know." My dad winked.

"Yeah okay." I gave in.

He smiled and hugged me. I just shrugged.

"Now go back to sleep it's 11pm."

And that's what I did.

/////

I woke up 10am. I shot up out of the bed. Running down the stairs.

"Dad omg I slept in, I skipped school god damn it. What now??" I was panicking.

"Calm down honey. We are going to go out today. I took the day off, and so will you." He said in a calm voice.

I calmed down a bit. "Okay." I said.

Walking back upstairs. I looked at myself in the mirror. Still ugly. I had tear stains for some reason. Probably dreamed something.

////

Me and Dad had a fun day. Went to the theme park, rode bunch of roller coasters. Ate bunch of junk food.

Dad was asleep and I was up. Doing homework.

I can't focus for some reason.

So I started scrambling bunch of small drawings.

I drew Ian first. And then they all came.

I liked the drawing of them so I ripped it out and putted it into my drawer.

I'm so tired but all I do is sleep. So I took the challenge and stayed up all night.

////

6am rolled around and I was done with my 10th drawing of actors and singers.

////

7am. Perfect time to get ready.

I walked down stairs all dressed and made some coffee into a cup, so I could take it to school.

////

I was drinking my coffee and listening to some movie playlists.

As I got to the school gates the three guys were standing talking about something.

Ian looked over to me and then back over to the guys and then back at me.

He smiled wide and ran towards me. I lifted my coffee cup, and Ian hugged me.

"Ay small bean." I giggled.

Max ran to me also and hugged me after Ian.

"I'm sorry that I snapped at you." Max apologized.

"No need to apologize I get annoying." I smiled at him.

And then Joji hugged me. His head on my shoulder.

"I missed you. We all did." He smiled.

"I missed you guys too." And the bell rang.
