Just a casual day. I wake up, get dressed, head down the stairs, get ready in the bathroom, while  listening to my mum try to wake up my sister,

"Roxi! Wake up now, Roxi"

"I'm up, mum, I'm up".

I go downstairs to eat breakfast, the door opened Troye, Nathan, and Tori walked in, as they do every morning. Nathan always got the food for everyone, Tori and Troye sat down at the table and said hey to me as Roxi was walking the stairs.

"Hey, Nathanial, can you me some too?" she said sitting down at the table

"Sure, Roxanne."

They always call each other by their full names, I don't know why really.

Nathan's bringing in five bowls, cereal and milk and setting it all down on the table.

"So, Tori, what's going on in your life?" Roxi asked

Roxi didn't bother me. She's my sister and she's actually very cool, and gets along really well with my friends, considering we all walk to school together because the schools are really close by.

"If I had a life, nothing much would be happening" Tori said, we all laughed while eating

"What about you, Troye?" Roxi said looking over at Troye, he looked up as if he was caught off guard while he was deep in thought,

"Huh? Oh, um, nothing really." he look kind of down, but I wasn't going to ask him about it yet and bring attention to him.

Roxi and Nathan were already having a conversation about something. I'd been staring at Troye so long that he looked up at me for a minute before giving me a confused expression and questioning me

"What-"

I cut him off with a distracted "sorry."
and looked and my food again.

Mum walks downstairs, wearing a nice top with what i call 'a business lady skirt'.

"You look so nice, Mum. Where are you going?" Roxi asked

"To a meeting," she responds

"A meeting with who?" Roxi said, curiously.

"Important business people about the salon." Mum said with pride.

"Are we losing it?" Roxi said, sounding very sad

"No, of course not, love."

Mum gave Roxi a kiss on the cheek and said "Alright, I got to go. Bye, darling. I'm spending the weekend in the city, so you guys stay safe. I'm leaving the car, too" and kissed my forehead

"You look very nice, Maisie." Tori said

Mum said "That's very nice of you, Tori." and happily rushed out the door.

I picked up my phone and checked the time '08:05'

"Shit." I said.

Nathan looked over at me in a rush picking things up. He checked his phone and said "Get your stuff together, guys, it's past time."

We got ready and left. We started walking and talking but nothing interesting. Troye still looked sad and wasn't talking that much so i walked over to him to privately talk to him i kinda grabbed his arm and looked at him and asked if something had happened he didn't say anything then nodded his head I asked him if he wanted to talk about it he hesitated then said that we would later i asked if he was staying with Nathan because sometimes when this happens he stays with Nathan

he said "No, i can't, he said that if i go with Nathan, it'll be worse"

"Does Nathan know?"

"No, not yet" he looked at Nathan, who was smiling and talking with Tori and Roxi.

"i'm telling him as soon as can get him alone, completely alone."

i just said "okay."

i wanted to hug him though. After some more boring conversations we finally got to Roxi's school and then ours.

"Hey you guys wanna come over today?" i asked

"Um, i'll ask." Troye said and pulled out his phone and sent a text. i'm assuming to his dad

"I already planned that. i've got some weed." Tori said giggling

Nathan had a nervous expression and swallowed he said
"i don't think i can." obviously a lie

I told him "you don't have to, we won't judge you"

Troye got a text, smiled and said "i can"

I said "oh, yay" and continued "Nathan, i don't give a shit if you do or not and i'm not gonna be a dick and pressure you or judge you if you don't you can just talk with Troye he doesn't, so just c'mon"

Troye looked at me and said he wants to try it.
Tori just said  "Yay." excitedly

Nathan just said "alright i'll come"

We all smiled.
