Living With My Best Friend

Day 2

Day 2

_____________________

The morning of Day 2, I woke up, just like every other day, but that morning, I woke up thinking of him. Mark. My best friend, soon to be roommate. What if something happens. Will he never talk to me again? Millions of worries swirled around my head, leaving an ugly taste in my mouth. When I reached over to check the time on my phone, I realised that if I didn't get up right at that moment I'd be late. After freshening up, I threw on a blue and white striped top, black leggings, and my sparkly silver Uggs. I was going to make today fun the only way I knew how. Flirting.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Men are such pigs. As I walked into the school, I felt all male eyes go to my butt. Truly, I don't blame them, it's the least ugly part of me, but I still felt offended. I walked up to the first hot guy I saw and smiled at him. "Hey William." He lowered his sun glasses and glanced quickly at my chest. Ah, the happy tingly feeling you get when someone hotter than you checks you out. Refreshing.

"Allie, right?" I nodded and bit my lip, drawing his eyes to the glossy surface. "Are you good at English?"

"I guess you could say that. Who wants to know?"

"Well, babe- can I call you that?" I laughed a whatever. "I happen to need a tutor." Nice try.

"I guess I could..." I said teasingly, trailing my finger down his chest. "consider it." William smirked, filled with confidence.

"That would be nice." Ha ha whatever. I'm not a slu*.

"I bet" Just gagged... Trying too hard.

"Lots of fun." He flashed a bright mouthed grin and tapped my cheek.

"See you later babe."

"You shall." I winked at him. William walked away and down the hallway. Today was already going too well, that never had happened before. Nobody had ever flirted with me without there being a catch. Unfortunately, I learned about a week after that there was. But back to that day. As I walked into my classroom, I held my head up high and kept a hand firm on my hip until I got to my assigned seat. I sat down and flipped my hair over my left shoulder as I glanced at the blank board, once again thinking about my best friend's problems.

I must have fallen asleep because I woke up to Mark standing at my side. My observation also showed that I was in the nurse's office and I was covered up by his large shirt. When he noticed I was awake, Mark smiled and looked me softly in the eyes. "Good afternoon sleepyhead." I shut my eyes and groaned unhappily.

"Afternoon? Mark you doof. Why didn't you wake me up?"

"You seemed tired and" He reached down to pinch my cheeks. "you look adorable when you're sleeping, like a devious, dirty minded little girl." Slapping his hands away, I giggled loudly.

"Dirty minded? Sir, you've seen me at my best." I heard a knock in the door and someone walked in. It was May-belle.

"Hun I have to agree, you are pretty adorable."

"Take one more step and I kick you. No more pinching! My cheeks do not appreciate it. Both of you! I mean it idiots!" They gulped loudly and Marks hands went protectively in front of his thighs. "That's right. You should be scared. Very scared. Extremely terrified. Back away slowly and no one gets hurt kids." They did as I said and I jumped up, neither one of them telling me to do differently. I exited the small room but then peeked back in. "How did I get in here anyway?" I asked them. Mark grinned.

"You were carried. I didn't want to wake you so I just picked you up bridal style and tip-toed down here. Mr. K gave us permission and hall passes. If we really wanted to stay here all day, we could." My eye brows raised but I frowned and looked at my feet sadly.

"Thanks. But no thanks. I have a test in Maths at sixth period which happens to start" I looked up at the analog clock on the wall. "in five minutes. I have to go. You know how he gets when people need time to do or redo tests after having a chance."

"No need to catch him on his man period."

"I know right." I turned to leave. "TTYL peeps."

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"I did good on my test, thanks for asking." I said pointedly to my mother as I walked down the hall to my bedroom. She yelled after me.

"You didn't even tell me you were having a test today so don't use sarcasm on me missy."

"You're a mother for heavens sake! Aren't you supposed to be able to read these things?"

"Er, nope. You're a child for heavens sake! Aren't you supposed to be able to tell me these things?"

"Touché Mother."

"Good night. Have fun playing on your laptop and being sad." She laughed.

"Thanks. It's nice to be appreciated."

"I bet." After this, I walked into my room and slammed the door behind me. Then I did exactly what my mom said I'd end up doing. Except not right away. First, I put on Marks shirt that I had stolen earlier in the nurse's office.
