I woke up to the sound of water hitting my window.  My eyes were finally adjusted so I grabbed my  phone.  I hit held down the top button on my i phone and on the top of my lock screen was the time.  It said nine fifteen.  It was way to early to wake up Scarlet so I headed down stairs and find food.  My feet touch the comfy, carpeted floor.  As I made my way down the hall I could smell the casual smell of either coffee or tea being made.  I saw my mum sitting at the table still wearing the same clothes as yeasterday except added to her outfit was a somfy white robe and pink fuzzy slippers.  She was reading a weekly catolog that was from the local furniture store.  She looked up at me and noticed I was looking for breakfest.

" I just put on a pot of coffee, there should be enough for you and your friend,"she stared and returned to browsing the catolog.

 I nodded and grabbed a mug from the cabinet.  I pulled out a clean white mug that looked as if it had never been used.  I turned towards the coffee macheine and poured about half a mug with black coffee.  I did't bother to add anything fancy to it.  I turned around and my mum finally put done the catolog.  

" It was a nice thing you did," she smiled. 

" Oh um that wasn't me well it was Scars idea," I admitted and took a sip of my drink.  " Mum why did you bring him home?" I added. 

" Marcel, its never going to happen again.  It was a mistake and I cant expain why I did what I did," She explained.

" I'm not saying that you have to explain what happened yesterday, but one question why did that man hit you?" I asked not exactlly knowing the answer.  

" Because sweety I got drunk and he knew that if I got drunk I would do somthing for him.  I didnt and he got mad.  Unfortantly people can't handel anger."

" I know mum," I sighed.  I looked down at my warm, dark drink and slowly took a sip.  

" What are your plans for today? She asked impationtly waiting for answer.

 I looked up at the plain white cealing and thought about it.  Truly nothing was on the ajenda.  I remebered that there was about four days till school started and there was only so much things I want to do and too many things I had to do.  

" I'm going to go shopping for some new clothes for you and pick up some school supplies so you don't have to worry about it.  All you have to do is make sure you pick out your classes the list of classes that are still avalible came in the post this morning," She said slidding a crisp white envolope across the table.  

I grabbed it from the table and couldn't help but notice my name on the front of the envolope.  I didn't bother to open it.  I set it down next to me and enjoyed the sound of the rain.  My mum and I truly didn't talk,  we just remaind lost in our own worlds, in our own heads.

I finished my coffee and set the no longer clean cup in the sink.  I walked up the stairs and saw Scarlett still fast asleep in the same position I left her.  I checked my phone and relized that I was down stairs for about forty- five minutes doing absoultly nothing.  Somthing that could enterain me for hours.  I walked over to her and nelt down.  Then I sort of got in the positon of laying next to her.  She was quite beautiful while sleeping.  

" Scarlett the cops are coming they found out you murdered someone!" I shouted in her ear.  She quickly shot up and her cheeks turned red.  Her eyes got big and she started pacing around my room.  I tried talking, but she cut me off every time.  I lughed harder and harder, by the minute.  

" Scar-"

" Shut up Marcel!" She yelled and started biting her nails.  I got up and I was still laughing so hard.  I grabbed her arms and she stared at me like a lost puppy.  

" There are no cops," I said trying to calm.  Then I burst out the loudest of laughter.  

" Shut up that wasn't funny," She yelled and started smacking my arm.  

" Oh come on you thought that was halairous," I argued.

" No it wasn't,  your such an ass," She whinned and plopped down in my bed.  

" Yeah an ass that can wake you up like a boss," I fired back. She stared at me for a few sconds then burst out laughing.  We were uncontrolably laughing about nothing.  " How far did you get in the book?"  She asked. 

" 'Bout less than half way through."   I said. " Hey can you help me pick out my classes," I gotta do that like now," I admitted. 

" Seriously Marcel your doing that now?" 

" I never said I was wise about time."  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scarlett helped me pick out organic chemistry, A.P math, Shop class, and A.P English.  I dont have to take guy this semester so yay for me.  I didn't get very much to choose from becasuse most of the classes were all filled.  I relized that Scarlett and I don't have any classes together, but everyday we each get to leave very early.   

Scarlett told me after she had coffee that she was very tired and wanted to hangout at her house by herself.  So she drove herself to her house and she didn't text me for the rest of the day.  I decided to try and read as much as possible, because right when school hits the last thing I'm going to want to do is read.  

My mum came home about late afternoon and she had about five shopping bags weighing down her arms.  I rushed down to the door and helped her with the things.  As I glanced through the opaque shopping bags and saw a few note books, a pair of jeans, and pencils.  I know there was more unfortnantly I was not able to see.  She set them on the clear, transparent table and ordered me to take them our of the plastic bags and bring them to my room.  I organized everything into piles and tried on the two types of jeans.  The problem with trousers were that I'm a very tall teenager and it is very hard to find pants that don't make me look like a homless boy that has to share jeans with his pre-teen sister.   I folded everything and put it in my dresser.  Then relized that in four days I will start a new journey.
