Feeling in December

Seth's POV~

~beep beep ~
I search for the alarm clock blindly, desperate to turn it off. Finally my fingers find the button. The horrid noises stop and I roll over on my back. I turn to look at joey but nothing but his trace in the sheets were there. I sit up and look around the bedroom. I notice a piece of paper on the dresser. I leave the warm and cozy bed to investigate. The note read.

Morning babe, sorry I didn't wake you but you just looked so peaceful I didn't want to disturb you. But me and Chris went out Christmas shopping.
-love joey

I place the note back on the dresser before returning back to the bed. I turn on the TV to see if AHS recorded from the night before. "Huh that's weird I guess last week was the season finale" I leave MTV music on in the back ground and I start getting dressed. I decide to wear my Stella Adler school of acting hoodie, with dark blue skinny jeans, to cover up my messy hair I throw on a beanie, and I put on a little mascara to make me seem like I'm more awake and alive. I slip on my mint green vans and grab my book bag before heading out. "OK if I go to the cafe now and sit down and read for a little bit I'll be able to get to class right on time". I think aloud.

I arrive at the cafe and order my usually chai tea. I sit by the window a read " Off the Page" by Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer as more snowflakes fall past the windows. I read a few chapters before checking the time and seeing I have to leave in order to make it to class on time. I finish my tea and head to school.
When I arrive I look at the clock and see I'm 15 minutes early, fewer students were in the class then usual. Not even our professor was here yet. I take my set at one of the tables closest to the back of the room to the far right. Mr. Hemming arrives and starts writing our assignment on the board. I can't make out the words cause he's in the way but I can tell it has something to do with having a partner. When he turns facing the room he starts pairing us up. I end up with a girl who has short vibrant red hair, she's wearing a Hollywood undead band T-shirt, ripped up skinny jeans, black vans, and has a flannel tied around her waist. She was definitely more on the punk side but she seemed nice by the warming smile she gave me as she approached. "Hi, I'm Delilah". She reaches out to shake my hand. I smile and shake her hand " Seth, nice to meet you".
Mr. Hemming passes out our scripts for the project. " you are to have everything memorized by February 29th and props are allowed. You may work on this for the rest of class and remember just because its November 28th doesn't mean you can push this off the due date is a lot closer than you think". Delilah goes straight to looking at the script while I look around at everyone else's script. "Everyone has a different one. Cool". Delilah looks up " huh? Oh yea that is pretty cool". I turn the script over and look to see that we have "looks get in the way" by D. M. Larson.
I skim through the pages looking over the 2 characters seeing which I'd be more interested in. I look at Delilah and see she's reading over the entire play its not long by I assume she wants to get the just of things so I do the same.
We finish reading our scripts. " you could play Sidney and I'll play Phil". "Awesome. I was gonna ask if it'd be alright if I could be Sidney any way". I start getting excited for one I get to wear an old lady mask and talk funny and two I love the meaning of this play. " oh I'll play tony as well". "Huh?" I look at the script and realize that there's a 3rd side character to add more detail. "OK sounds good to me". We spend the rest of class going over our scripts until our professor dismisses us. " here's my number to get in touch with me". I hand her a slip of paper with my number on it. "OK that makes meeting up much easier". She laughs " yea, hey we can meet up at the library later on tonight if your free". "Tonight I actually have dance lesson but maybe tomorrow night we can meet at the cafe since the library closes early on tuesdays". " OK sounds great".
We say our goodbyes and head our separate ways.

I head to the same cafe from earlier this morning. I order my usual chai tea and sit and read for a bit. Its around 3ish so I head home to grab lunch. I finish eating and text my best friend Sam. She answer almost instantly.

*Sam: hey
Me: so joey and Chris are out Christmas shopping and I still need to get presents. Wanna go to the mall and go shopping for stuff?
*Sam: yea sure. Wanna meet there or do you want me to pick you up.
*Me: well considering it is freezing cold and I don't have a car it would be nice if you'd pick me up.
*Sam: alright smartass I'll be there in 10 mins.
*Me: thanks Sam.
*Sam: yea whatever 😛

Sam pulls up as I'm leaving the front doors of the apartment complex. The snow had finally stopped falling. "Thank goodness they salted the road or we would not be going anywhere with all this snow". "For real". Sam laughs before droving off. I search through her radio channels before finding a channel that just happened to be playing " this town" by Niall Horan. Me and Sam sing along to the beautiful lyrics horribly ruining the song but we didn't care We arrive to the mall about 30mins later. Its usually a 15min drive but the traffic was terrible. We head inside an decide to go to american eagle. I get joey and Chris some shirts. We leave there and go to journeys I buy joey and I matching high top black vans. "You two are so cute". Sam fan girls. " I wish I had something as strong as what you and joey have". I smile looking at the other vans before paying for the ones I have and go find another store. I see hot topic and decide to head there. I buy Chris band merch like bracelets and such, I buy joey some band merch and AHS stuff, and I secretly buy Sam supernatural stuff before she sees me. We look around seeing if there's any more stores we could go to and we picked up a few more things. I looked at my phone to check the time and it was 7 mins to 5. I also see that joey texted me saying he was home. I look and laugh at Sam. "What?". " Sam we've been in the mall for almost 4 hours". "Dang it didn't feel that long". We take our stuff to her car and head to her house so we can wrap the stuff we bought.

Pleased by the wrapping work I've done. I smile at Sam and take the last bag of stuff to her bedroom. " sorry Sam but you can't see this stuff". "How'd you buy me stuff I was with you the entire time". I laugh at her. "I'm just good like that". I lock the door behind me cause Sam would be the one to forget I'm in there and just walk in. It takes 15mins to wrap the few presents I had. I take them back to the living room and put all of the ones I wrapped in a single pile. I text joey.

*Me: Is it safe for me to come home? Lol
*Joey: Yes I'm done wrapping everything. For you at least. 😝😁
*Me: 😊 OK I'll see you in about 40 mins. 😘
*joey: OK babe see you when you get here 😍😘

I tell Sam that joey is done at the house and we load all the presents in he car and head back to my house. Traffic was light considering its dark and snowing again. We arrive at the apartment complex 38mins. Later. " well today was fun. And thanks for driving me around my little servant". I laugh. "Oh whatever and your welcome". I close the car door and gather the pile of presents and head up.

~knock knock~

I open the door struggling and trying to keep the pile of presents from toppling over. "Hey babe how was your day" He asks me while helping me by taking a few presents. He sets the presents down then helps me take my coat off. "It was fine but very tiring a lot to think about" I reply. We both head inside and sit on the couch to watch American Horror Story. I lay my head down on his lap sprawling my body out along the rest of the couch and drift asleep.
