Ro's POV

I sat in my room staring at my selves of games. It was 12:06am and I was bored. I decided on Smash Bros and put it in to begin.

I heaved a sigh as I rubbed my tiered eyes. My insomnia not letting me sleep was gonna kill me. Literally.

My mind wandered from the game to Micheal. We texted a lot since that morning. Apparently he and his friend had made it through level 8 of Apocalypse of the Damned. He told me that when schools starts he'll introduce me to 'Jeremy'.  It had been a week since I'd first met him. He was a pretty funny!

I select Link and begin the game. Fighting mindless computer calibrated characters was soothing. I won eventually.

I felt my phone vibrate by my foot so i picked it up. I snorted at the goof ball who was texting me.

Michael: Ro my buddy how's it hanging!

Ro: Good. U

Michael: great! I can't sleep tho so I got lonely :3

I stifled my giggle and started to open my window.

Ro: feel my pain gamer boy. Feel. My. Pain.

I sit on the roof waiting for him to join.

I watched as he sleepily stumbled out the window.

"*yawn* Hey my nocturnal friend." He waved as he fixed his lopsided glasses.

"N-n-not nocturnal. I'm u-u-u-up most th-th-the day t-too." I counter laughing.

He laughs too as he tries to get rid of the his friggin adorable bed head.

"Well any who. I gotta question!" He smiles.

"Shoot." I reply as I yawn myself.

"Well have you left your house yet?  Cuz if not there's a great 7/11 with slushies not to far from here!" He beamed.

I giggle and shake my head.

"I have yet to leave my humble abode. But *yawn* that sound like a good reason to leave!"

We start going off on random tangents for a while till I started to dose off around 3:27.

"You should get some sleep Ro. We got school." Michael smiled.

"N-nooooo!" I whine but yawn still.

We both climb back into our rooms. I waved goodnight and crawled into my cushy bed. I fell asleep almost instantly for once.

Morning

I rolled out of my slumber slapping my Mario alarm clock. I groggily walked to my closet pulling out my attire for he day (outfit is the pic at the beginning). I walk into the bathroom 'fixing' my hair and makeup.

I go downstairs and grab an egg sandwich outta the freezer and put my headphones on with one of my favorite songs playing.

I left the house to see Michael trip on the sidewalk to get to his car.

"Sup M-m-Michael. St-st-struggling?" I ask.

He jumps a bit then laughs, "yeah. Oh hey you left the house!!" He beamed as he unlocked his car.

"Sadly." I roll my eyes.

"Do you wanna ride?" Michael pointed at his car.
