Hey, I'm Mim. Mim Maria Hudson to be exact. Okay, that sounds so basic and cheesy but what do you expect from a 15 year old whose life revolves around watching marathons of Netflix shows and procrastinating while trying to complete homework. To be honest, I'm supposed to be doing my homework right now, but I'm sure the Tudors can wait another hour. 

Alright, I'll cut the crap out and tell you all about my first day as a sophomore; the day were my 'story' unfolds.

I gazed at myself in the mirror looking pretty proud at the outfit I created. I was wearing a crop top that had a gradient of black and dark green. To match, i wore black Nike shorts and black Converse. As you can tell, I'm really basic. To top it all off my hair was styled like Ariana Grande's famous up do instead my hair was black. Anyways, after approximately five minutes of doing touch ups on my makeup, my mom yelled my name. "Coming!" I replied, grabbing my backpack as I walked heavily to my bedroom door. "There's a boy here!" she yelled once again. At that moment, a smile rose across my face and my heart started to warm up. All my thoughts had been pushed back and Parker took their place. By the way, Parker is my crush. I've liked him ever since freshmen year when I first saw him across the hallway; looking grand and extremely attractive. I quickly rushed out the door trying to hold my excitement in, but I looked like a dog running to It's owner to receive a treat so that didn't really work out. Anyways, as I approached the kitchen I screamed "HEY PARKER!" like a lunatic. God, I really am mad. My grin swiftly turned into a frown as I saw Drake instead of Parker standing next to my mom. Drake Dixon is my best friend. We've known each other since kindergarten so I practically regard him as my brother. I looked at his stupid smile as I stood there highly embarrassed, you could tell I was because my cheeks were as red as a tomato. I hate tomatoes. "Nice to see you too, ho." he scoffed not remembering that my mom was standing like half a meter away. My mom didn't say anything so I don't think she cared. "Shut up" I said, giving him the beady eyes. "What are you doing here? Go." I said proudly, making him give the beady eyes to me instead. "Shut up, you love me." he uttered smiling, revealing his pearly, white teeth. It was kind of charming, not gonna lie. "Uh, yeah sure" I laughed sarcastically, rolling my eyes. Obviously I do love him, he's my best friend. Then my mom interrupted saying something awkward. "Aw! You two are so cute! When's the date?" she said in a enthused yet curious manner. Silence filled the room as me and Drake looked at my mom in shock. "Uh.. No mom, that's gross." I let out a laugh and my mom sighed. Drake gave an awkward laugh for some reason, he kind of looked nervous in a way. "Oh, so what do you kids say these days? Ship! Yes! I ship you two!" my mom is 31 years old, so it's pretty obvious she still wants to feel young and keep up with the slang words that us teenagers establish. It's kind of embarrassing. Slapping my face with my palm I grabbed Drake by the arm and we headed our way to the door. "That's our cue to leave. Bye mom, love you!" I slammed the door.

Drake and I always walk to school with each other, he doesn't live that far much away from me. We both walked rather slowly as we wanted to avoid the horrors and terrors of high school for just a few more minutes before the feeling of summer really ended. Tragic. "I had a dream today, it was really weird." Drake said gazing at me, he always had weird dreams so I wasn't surprised at all. "So tell me about your epic adventure in your unusual, non-realistic dream. Were you a cat swimming like a fish this time?" I chuckled, he rolled his eyes. "No, it was realistic for your information and... really fucking weird". he said anxiously, slowing down his walking pace. I stopped walking and faced him; our eyes met. Drake had blue eyes like bright, pure, full on blue. That was one of the things I envied about him, he had these amazing, gorgeous, blue eyes while I had boring brown eyes. Kind of annoying. Anyways, we were both just standing there, facing each other awkwardly for like ten seconds with no verbal interaction at all. I finally broke the suspense by gasping and laughing in hysteria. "You had a wet dream?!" I shouted uncontrollably. "NO! WHAT THE HELL?" Drake exclaimed in dismay, his face looked so funny, you had to have been there. I then started to screech "DRAKE HAD A WET DREAM EVERYONE!" still laughing at this point. I told you, I'm so goddamn crazy. He then attempted to make me stop shrieking by covering my mouth with his hands. At this point, we were really close to each other like his body was shielding mine. It felt weird when I come to think about it, I mean we both always play fight, but this time it felt different. I let myself free from his arms and because i'm really immature, I kept yelling and laughing. "HELP! KIDNAPPER!" The people in the neighborhood must've thought we were so fucking weird. I ran away towards the direction of the school, still laughing. "HEY! WAIT!!" Drake said running after me, he wasn't mad if you were wondering, I could hear him laughing from the distance. It didn't take long for Drake to catch up to me, he is way faster than me when it comes to running, I blame my short legs. By the time he caught up, we were both acting like normal human beings and walking together more relaxed, we then arrived at hell.
