Together We Fight *Major Editing*

Chapter 7 (Edited)

I spent the whole Sunday in bed with Netflix and an unhealthy amount of junk food, my mum and dad were doing their own things somewhere in the house.

A few hours after I had woken up I heard my dad's car start as the sound of a car door shutting could be heard. I'm pretty sure he's moving his stuff over to his new apartment.

Despite being a total slob for the day, my Sunday was pretty good.

***

It's Monday today, one of my favourite days. Kidding! Monday's suck big time, no matter what you're doing.

I reluctantly dragged myself out of my warm bed to have a quick shower before getting ready for the day. I decided to wear a tight, white, long sleeved shirt with a pair of ripped, black, denim shorts. I grabbed my white adidas shoes that would match perfectly. My hair was straightened and had two little plaits on either side of my head which were tied together at the back. I applied some mascara and eyeliner as per usual.

My phone started to ring and a picture of Jess pulling a funny face popped up on the screen as the chorus to 'Barbie girl' burst out from the speaker. She must have changed her personal ringtone again.

"Hey, what's up?" I asked, placing the phone between my shoulder and ear as I shoved my books into my black leather backpack.

"Are you driving today?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Micheal is being a donkey butt." I laughed at that while slinging my bag over my shoulder and grabbing the phone.

"You want me to drive you, right?"

"Yeah...please?" I stupidly nodded my head then realised she couldn't see me.

"Of course."

"I'll walk up."

"Sounds good." She then hung up as I grabbed my keys from my desk before grabbing a jacket from my wardrobe just in case I got cold today and making my way downstairs. Jess stalked out of her house and down the road with a scowl on her face. I tried not to laugh at her fuming self.

I waited for her to speak, she didn't. "What's wrong?"

"Micheal!" Was all she said, she growled his name really.

I wonder what he's done now, "What did he do his time?"

"He says thay I'm not allowed a boyfriend, like who does he think he is? He irritates me so freaking much, like 'I'm going to rip my hair out if you don't stop your annoying ways'. Some people wish for a twin or siblings but trust me, you do not want a sibling, twins are even worse though. They think they know everything about you, like, yeah you're basically my other half and you've known me my whole life but I'm different now, I'm a grown woman and I'm allowed to date whoever I want whenever I want!" She ranted while I tried to stifle my laughter, she stood huffing and puffing for a about 20 seconds before she settled down again.

"Feel better?" I asked her while barely containing my chuckles, she nodded and motioned to my car. We climbed in and buckled up then made our way to hell -Oops, school. I did it again, my bad.

"You know when we went to that party and there was that guy I went off with?" Jess asked while fiddling around with the radio, trying to find a good song as we waited for the traffic light to turn green.

"Yeah...why do you ask?" The light turned green and the cars all moved forward, I eased my foot off the break and we moved with the wave of cars.

"He goes to a different school but I really like him and I want you to meet him. You know, since your my bestfriend." She looked at me while saying this, I thought about it for a minute.
