"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!"
The annoying sound of my alarm went off as I struggled to open my eyes. I lazily reached over to my nightstand, grabbing my iPhone to stop the alarm. Nearly blinding myself by the brightness of my screen, I looked at the time: THURSDAY, 6:00AM.
"Ughhh.." I groaned while I snuggled with my warm and fluffy white blanket. "Why is my bed so much more comfortable as soon as my alarm rings?" I thought to myself. I unlocked my phone and continued to lay in bed for a good 20 minutes checking all my social networks. I sighed and placed my phone next to me.
I stared at the ceiling fan as I began to think about the dream I just had; correction, always have. I've been having the same dream for about 3 weeks now. It always has the same boy too. All I can remember about his appearance was his dreamy hazel-brown eyes and his picture perfect smile that showed all his perfect white teeth. I felt butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it. I felt myself smiling like a 5 year old who just received a new toy.
I quickly snapped back into reality and got up from bed to get ready for school.
I walked out into the hallway and made my way over to the bathroom, turning on the lights, closing and locking the door behind me. I nearly jumped at the sight of my tired zombie-like face and my bedhead when I looked at the mirror. I hopped in the shower and brought my toothbrush with me to save time.
As soon as I got out of the shower, I wrapped my body with my towel and quickly walked back into my room. I slid open the closet and pulled out a maroon tank top, a black cardigan, and a pair of slightly destroyed light washed skinny jeans. I walked over to my vanity and pulled out my makeup bag. I applied a little concealer under my eyes, mascara, and eyeliner onto my waterline also on my upper lash line slightly winging it out. Being the lazy person that I am, I quickly put my hair into a side braid.
I stared at myself in the mirror examining my appearance. Round light chocolate eyes, brunette hair that reached about 2 inches past my breasts, and medium skin tone. I let out a deep breath and walked downstairs to the kitchen.
*BUZZ BUZZ* I felt my phone vibrate multiple times in my back pocket. It must be Bethany.
I took my phone out of my pocket and saw the name light up the screen: "BETHANY". "Ha! I knew it" I said to myself while letting out a slight chuckle. I answered the phone.
"Hello?" I said while scanning the fridge deciding on what to eat for breakfast.
"HEY BITCH!" She shouted. "I'LL BE THERE IN ABOUT 2 MINUTES. LOVE YA, SEE YOU SOON!" I heard her blow a kiss and she hung up before I could even say anything back.
I slowly pulled my phone away from my ear. "Um... okaaay...."
One would think that by now I would be used to her being this obnoxious considering the fact that we have been best friends since we were just learning our ABC's. We used to be neighbours when I first moved here from New York. I was only 4. Our moms became really close and would make us go on play dates and that's basically how our friendship started. Bethany is practically like my sister, I love her to death.
"Shit. I don't have time to eat breakfast" I closed the fridge, snatched a banana, grabbed my keys, my backpack, put on my white low top converse, and went out the door.

I waited outside for 10 minutes when I finally saw Beth pulling up the street with her black BMW that she got on her 18th birthday during the summer. Not gonna lie, I'm kinda jealous of her car probably because I don't even have a car.
She honked the horn 2 times as I ran towards it while still trying to eat the banana. Just as I got in the passenger seat, she greeted me. "Hey Blair" She said awkwardly.
"Hey Beth." I smiled, trying to hide the fact that I could tell she was acting strange. Ignoring it, I continued to talk. "You told me on the phone you would be here in 2 minutes when it actually took you 10. What happened?" I said as I grabbed my backpack about to put it on the back seat.
The pitch of her voice went up 2 octaves "Well...."
"What?!" I said impatiently. I turned around towards the backseat to place my backpack, when I suddenly stopped to discover that someone was sitting there. I was in complete shock as to who I have just come face to face with.
My jaw dropped. "Oh..my..god.."
