I woke up feeling very refreshed and went into the bathroom. I took my hair down and grabbed a towel out of my freshly-stocked cabinet. I stood there for a while just looking in the mirror thinking about shay. Then I remembered josh and how I was going to spend the night at his apartment tonight. Well, I probably wouldn't actually spend the night, just stay until three or four in the morning. I glanced at my phone on the sink countertop and noticed that I had been in here for a good twenty minutes. I then hopped into the shower and drank in the delicious warmth of the water.

I got out feeling even more refreshed and went to go get dressed.

Four outfit changes later and I was ready. I had decided to dress down in my 'buckle' jeans and a wrap-style blouse. I looked at the clock and noticed I only had ten minutes to do my hair. I decided upon a "messy bun."

After my hair looked decent I went into my bedroom to grab the makeup bag I had left on my dresser and heard honking. I looked out the window and saw Shay's car.

"Shit! No makeup today!" I muttered as I grabbed my purse and flats and ran outside.

"Hey, there! Didn't I tell you I was gonna leave you here?" Shay said jokingly. He pressed on the gas and the car scooted forward a little while I was trying to get in.

"Stop it Shay! I'm sorry!"

"You know I'm kidding you, don't have to get so upset Kai!" He exclaimed as he saw how red my face was. "Aww, is someone embarrassed?"

"Shay, I swear to GOD I'm going to punch you someday," I laughed. Well, maybe not, but in my mind I will.

"MarKai, I know you won't. Lexie and I know how you are, don't we Lex?"

I heard giggling coming from the backseat and I looked over it to see Lexie squatted down on the floor.

"Boo!!"

"What the hell you guys?" They know I do not like people suprising me.

"Happy Birthday!" they said in unison.

"Aww, thanks guys!" I said half-heartedly as Lex handed me a cupcake out of a plastic container.

She looked hurt.

"You don't like it? It's vanilla and vanilla, with blue sprinkles. Your favorite!"

"I do to like it Lex, it's just, I'm 18 now! I'm so old!"

Shay looked at me with one eyebrow raised and Lex just looked at me.

"I'm already 18!" Shay told me, as if I didn't already know, "and Lex here is turning 18 next month."

I looked at both of them and realize just how much we'd all been through together. I met Lexie in 7th grade when we both went to a new school, and I had met Shay when we had Algebra together, and he was about as smart as a rock when it came to math. He asked me to tutor him and I had agreed, seeing as how just the look of him back then was enough to make my heart flutter.

I looked over at Shay and sighed. He was my best friend, and Lex was my bestie. The three of us did everything together, even though we were in completely different groups. Lexie was a cheerleader gone half-way bad, and Shay was part of a "tough-guy" group. As for myself, I didn't really fit in anywhere. I hung out with some of Shay's friends with him sometimes, and Lexie's friends were pretty much all of my friends, but I only had a few friends of my own. Jenna was my first ever friend, and we had grown apart over the years but we still met up at the spot every Saturday night and hung out in our group we had there.
