*continuing texts*

Ariana: How do you know if someone likes you?

Kaylee: Why do you wanna know?

Ariana: ...because I want to.

Kaylee: Girl, do you think Justin likes you? Even if he's my ex, you guys would make a cute couple.

Ariana: I don't like him! I still find in a way he's find of a jerk.

Kaylee: I'm confused, but anyways...

Kaylee: I find that if guys like you, they keep looking at you, they would playfully touch you, like kiss your hand, cheek, forehead, BUT NOT THE LIPS! Or just you know, touch you... but if they have you're number they would always text you no matter what you're doing. And if you have an Instagram or any type of social media, and they know about it, they will like a lot of your posts or either stalk you.

Ariana: uh okay, thanks gtg.

Kaylee: k...bye?

I set my phone down. I tried to ignore all the notifications I was getting. I would turn the ringer and do not disturb on, but the alarm probably won't wake me up.

<><><><><><><>

It's honestly almost midnight. I can't sleep. I don't know why I can't sleep. My mom is sleeping, and I'm pretty sure my dogs are. I usually sleep early so I won't be THAT exhausted in the morning.

I decide to get up and pace back in forth in my room a little. When I was little, my mom did that to me if I couldn't sleep. It always worked for me.

I feel like I have been walking for 5-10 minutes though. Nothing was working. Maybe it only worked when I was a toddler or a baby.

I went over to my door and opened it. I quietly left and went downstairs. I didn't want to wake my mom or dogs up, even if I only needed a drink.

I feel like it's rude to wake your parents or anybody else up. When I was little, I used to hear noises and see human shadows in my room, but I didn't want to wake my parents up because I thought it was rude. So I just fell asleep paranoid.

I opened my fridge and grabbed the milk. I hope it helps me. I poured it into a clean cup of glass and sat down.

I started to drink my milk. I practically chugged it down. Once I finished, I put the glass cup in the sink.

I accidentally banged the cup on the sink, making a loud noise. Good thing it didn't break though, I'd imagine it would. I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. Oh shit.

"Ariana, is that you?" Mom asked, half asleep.

"Yeah..." I said awkwardly.

"Why are you awake? I thought you were sleeping." Mom said.

"I tried sleeping for hours. But I decided to take a glass of milk." I said as I pointed to the glass cup.

"Oh, well, try to get back to sleep. If you can't, tell me." Mom said as she went upstairs.

I followed my mom upstairs and went to my room. I closed the door lightly and sat down on my bed. I sighed and laid down.

I finally fell asleep. It took a long time, but I managed to. For some reason, I think I'm dreaming right now.

"Hey Ariana!" Justin said, walking into the bathroom.

"Can't you see I'm about to take a shit?" I said.

"Whoops. Anyways, I want to see if I can fit inside the toilet." Justin smiled.

"Uh, what?!" I awkwardly said.

"Hold on." Justin says as he climbs into the toilet.

"Um..."

"Oh, I can fit in the toilet." Justin said with the biggest grin.

"Why do you want to- you're so annoying." I said.

I flushed Justin down the toilet. He had the biggest grin on his face. He enjoyed being flushed.

I opened my eyes to reveal sunlight. Well, that was a weird dream. I could have sworn I had the same dream when I was a kid, just that Justin was my mom.

I rubbed my eyes and walked over to the closet. I didn't know what to wear, so I just picked a random outfit. I hope this works.

I looked at myself in the mirror. Not bad. I wore a white sweatshirt, black Nike leggings, and Nike sneakers. I decided to put on a green hat that said "plant" on it. Damn, who's this bitch?

I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I decided to keep my hair down today. I pinned my bangs back and did my makeup.

I went downstairs to eat breakfast. I finished so I went to school. I was a little late so I didn't have time to hang out with Kaylee. I just went to my first period class.

I walked in to see Justin talking to the teacher. I awkwardly walk pass them and to my seat. I grabbed my things I needed for English and set them on the desk.

"Justin, if you really don't want to do it, you still have to. You have to participate in everything in school." Mrs. Jensen said.

"Well, I'm not participating in the 'Give your favorite girl a rose' at the pep rally tomorrow." Justin mumbled.

I instantly looked up. We had a pep rally tomorrow? And there's a thing called "give your favorite girl a rose?"

The bell rang, Justin rolled his eyes and walked pass me. He took his seat behind me and I watched students rush in. Some just took their time.

"Good morning class!" Mrs. Jensen said.

"Good morning." The class groaned, finally saying good morning.

"Before we start our lesson, I just want to say something. Girls and boys, wear something nice tomorrow. If you're a cheerleader or in any type of sport, wear your uniforms tomorrow. Because tomorrow's the pep rally." Mrs. Jensen said.

"Half of us already know this since the cheerleaders had to practice their cheering routine for tomorrow." Justin spoke out.

"Let me finish." Mrs. Jensen looked at Justin. "Now, there's something called 'Give your favorite girl a rose.' This is a new activity in our school. Boys, you will be giving your girlfriends, your friends that are girls, or girls you just... really like, roses! It can be anyone. Girls, you'll be doing the same thing!" Mrs. Jensen exclaimed.

Oh... tomorrow will be fun.
