I Want To Be With You

Getting Ready

*BEEP* *BEEP*

I groan as I begin to stir from my bed, I swing my arm to the bedside table. I smack the top of the alarm clock a few times, in hopes of turning it off. Once I had successfully done so, I roll of my white bed, and land stomach first on the floor.

"Lanet, it's time to get-" I lay my head on the floor, and looked to left, to the door. It was Johnathan, we were just staring at eachother, for a little. "Ok.... well..." He says as he nods his head. "Keep, getting ready." He says awkwardly, as he closes the door. I groan as I lay face down, after I'm done groaning I get up and begin to get ready. I get my phone from the charger, and press the YouTube icon.

I walk to my attached bathroom, in a little hallway, close to the door. I walk in and turn on the shower, I get out the curling iron, blowdrayer, and let them heat up. I search Todrick Hall, and put on a playlist, and set my phone on the counter. I take off my pajama shorts, my tank top, and hop in the shower.

As the water trickles down my body, I pick up the body wash, and lather my luffa up with the soap. I scrub my body, as the water lightly falls on me. I rinse off the body wash, squeeze some shampoo into my hand. I wash my hair, then rinse that off. I squeeze some conditioner into my palm, and repeat the process.

After I get done I reach out of the shower to get my white towel. I dry my hair first the best I can, then wrap it around my body. I go to my bedroom, and get some undergarments, then walk back to the bathroom. I tie my hair into a messy bun, and put on my undergarments. I put on the tank top from last night, and begin to dry my hair, completely.

I walk out of the bathroom, with my hair done and ready for school. I get to my dresser, and take off the dirty tank top, then throw it in the dirty laundry. I find a nude colored tank top and pull that over myself. I find a pair of blue skinny jeans, and an olive colored shirt, with the shoulders hanging slightly lower than my shoulders. I get dressed, and walk to my door, and pull on a pair of light brown sandals on. (Above)

I walk down the stairs, holding the strap of my backpack. "Hey mom." I smile as I spin into the kitchen. She looks to me, and smiles, "You look beautiful, Lanet." She says as she motions me to spin again. "It should look good, you picked it out." I remind her. "Oh yeah, I have good taste." She smirks, looking to me. We both laugh, and I go to the fridge, and get out my water bottle.

"Morning, ladies." Johnathan, announces coming into the kitchen. "Hola!" I smile, as I pop out my head from the fridge door, and wave to him. As I pop out I see his eyes go wide. "Step out for a bit, Lanet." He says, I do as told. "You're not allowed to wear that!-" He pauses and starts to get teary eyed. "You look too grown up, my little Lanet!" He cries running to me, engulfing me in a hug. "ACK!" I grunt as I'm lifted off the ground. I look to my mom and mouth, 'HELP ME!!', she just giggles and watches the scene unfold.

My phone beeps in my pocket, "That's my alarm for school!" I gasp, he gently sets me on the ground. I bend down, and rest with my hands on my knees. "Oh, calm down." My mom laughs as she lightly hits my arm, with a kitchen towel. "Bye!" I say as I dart out the door, and to my car.

I start the engine, and head to school. Before I could pull out I heard my phone buzz. I pull it out of my pocket, to see that Janice needs a ride. I send her a quick reply, and pull out of my house, heading to her's.

I pull into her driveway, and wait untill she comes out. I wait about two minutes, then I hear my passenger door open. "Okay, let's go." She instructs as she buckles her seat belt. "Okay...?" I question as I pull out.

We get onto the road and she plugs in her music. "Hey, why are you dressed so fancy?" I ask as I raise an eyebrow to her skirt, and nice blouse. "Ugh! I have to present my speech, for English today!" She whines as she slams her head on my dashboard. "Ha! I do mine tomorrow." I brag, as I stop at the red light.

"Are you coming?" She asks as she straightens up. "Depends, what class?" I ask back turning to the left, and onto the school road. "Second period." She informs me. "Hmm... Yeah, it's just English, and we have the whole period to do our research paper anyway." I shrug, as I pull into a spot, closest to the front doors.

"Y'all have a paper due... when?" She asks as we both get out of the car. "Umm..." I ponder as I open the back door, and get my backpack. "Next month." I say as we walk to the front doors of the school. "Why is he giving you the whole day... this early?" She asks again, as she opens the first set of doors. "I have concluded he either hates us, or he hates teaching." I answer as I hold the second set of doors open for her. She hums as an answer and walks through the doors.

We walk to the library, to find Andrew walking around. "Woah, what's with the get up?" He askd as he motions to Janice's clothes. "Ugh!" She grunts as she begins to walk out. We both follow her, Andrew confused, as I am trying not laugh.

We enter the hall, and I burst out with the laugh I've been holding in. "I have to present." She tells Andrew. "Ahh." He slowly nods, his blonde hair lightly going back and forth. We walk around talking and laughing. I mainly laugh at how awkward my cousin in a skirt at school is.

We stop by my locker, to get my math book. After I shut the door, the bell rings, and we all part ways. As I'm walking to class, I relize I'm a little more happy to go to this class, than usual. 'Hmmm...... maybe it's cause I actually have someone to hang out with, or even just partner up with.' I smile at the thought of not being alone and awkward in that class.
