What's The Meaning of Life?

Chapter 7

Wednesday morning I woke up to the alarm on my phone. I stretched and felt someone's arm tighten around my waist. I looked to see Wes still sleeping as he cuddled closer to me. A smile found it's way to my face.

    What, no I can't like him. I know he doesn't have a girlfriend now, but liking him like that just makes things complicated. I watched him for a second as he slept. Not in a creepy way just admiring how peaceful he looked.

    I scooted out from under his arm and down to the foot of the bed. I got up and went to the bathroom. I pulled my hair into a messy bun in front of the mirror and did some minimum make up. After that I took my bag back to Wes's room and noticed he was still asleep. I heard Keaton get up and start the shower. I grabbed my clothes for the day and looked at Wes again. He seemed to still be sound asleep.

    I changed my clothes quickly and stuffed my old ones back in the bag. I needed to go to my house and get my book bag and dance stuff. Sadly I didn't want to, but I know I need them, so I guess I'll do it. I looked back at Wes one last time. I closed his door behind me and crept down the stairs. I got to the door when I heard Keaton in the kitchen.

    "Morning Keaton." I smiled making him jump.

    "Oh my gosh you scared me!" He laughed.

    "Want a ride to school?" I asked.

    "Yeah sure." He nodded buttering a muffin.

    "Meet me in front of my house in five." I smiled

    I went over to my house noticing Kayla's car still out front. I shook my head and went in the unlocked door. I grabbed my bags off the floor in the kitchen. There were sounds of movement upstairs, but I left before I could see Kayla or my sister. Keaton was waiting next to my car with muffin in hand.

    "Want one?" He asked.

    "No thanks. Get in." I said as I got behind the wheel.

    "Thanks for the ride Jayden. Is Haley riding with Kayla?" He asked buckling up.

    "I don't know Keaton I haven't talked to her since yesterday." I shrugged.

    "Why not?" He asked finishing off his muffin.

    "I don't want to talk about it. I just over reacted." I said as we drove. We listened to some Fall Out Boy before we pulled into a parking place. Then I told Keats to make sure he had a ride home since I had try outs today. He said he would and was off to do whatever Keaton's do.

Haley's POV

    I woke up and Jayden was still not home. I looked out the window and her car was gone. She must have went to school already. Kayla's car was gone too. I wonder why she didn't wake me. I must have been a bitch to get up today. I can't believe I smoked weed last night. I've never done anything close to bad before. I mean sure it's legal, but everything Jay said was right. I feel so bad.

    I got dresses and brushed my hair. If I leave now I could still get to school. I wandered over to the guys house next door. I knocked a few times and Drew pulled open the door shirtless and sporting mad bed head.

    "What up?" He asked sleepily. 

    "Can you drive me to school? My friend and sister ditched me." I asked.

    "Yeah let me get keys." He yawned and closed the door.

    Moments later he reappeared with a shirt and keys. He drove me to school in silence and not asking questions. He was a chill dude. He dropped me off and I thanked him. I made it to first period just as the bell rang.
