My alarm clock went off at 3:45 PM like it always does. The sun was bright and I wasn't happy at all. Like always. I walked down stairs throwing my softball warm up suit on from senior year. I chuckled at myself, such a horrible year. I brushed through my hair pulling the knots out and through it up in a pony tail. God I always dreaded days like this. I went to the freezer and grabbed my freezing bottle of Fireballs whiskey.
To be drinking at...? What 4 in the afternoon, you'd have to have a problem. And I did have a problem. There was only a bit left and I gulped it down and threw it in my trash and laughed at myself again. "You're such a fuck up." I slurred and walked to the oven squinting to see the time. "Oh gosh, 4:15, already?" I walked out my door making sure I had my key and met three of the four boys. "Hey, were your new neighbors, uh, our other friend will be here later." The blonde one said his lip piercing distracted me as well as a mix of the alcohol too. I looked to my right and spotted my mother, she straightened her skirt and walked over to the boys and I. "Hello boys! This is my daughter, she will be helping you guys unload and unpack! Morgan show them." She said and smiled but turned in disgust as she had smelt the alcohol on my breath. I laughed loudly. "Right this way boys." I said and opened the elevator door.
"Calum." The black haired one said. "I'm Luke, he's Michael." The blonde said pointing to the boy with a variety of different hair colors. "Nice to meet you guys, Morgan, as my mother had said." We sat there in an awkward silence as we waited to get to the ground floor.
"Smells like alcohol." Michael said scrunching his nose. I put my hand up and laughed. "That would be me my friend." I said and walked out the elevator door.
"Share," Calum said. "We could all use some. Right guys?" He said and turned to his friends.
I laughed again and put my hands on my hips with my head faced to the ground. "Sure," I started. "Why not?" With that we all walked back to the elevator and up back to my apartment.

"Dude, where are you guys?" The other boy asked Calum. It was their other friend that would be living here too. In this moment we were so intoxicated.
"Haha," Calum laughed, you could tell he was drunk. "In this girls room, uhh, her names.. Uh.. Morgan! That's it, Morgan." I laughed out how he forgot my name. "Uh, where?" He asked as if Calum was dumb. "She lives in the apartment next to us." Calum giggled. "I didn't know guys giggled!" I said as he hung up the phone. "I'm not a guy." Calum said and smirked at me then broke out in laughter. "Can I check?" I said and let out a giggle. "You're a girl." Calum said as I went up to open the door for their friend. The boy knocked on the door and I immediately opened it.
"Hi," he lifted his head smiling. "My names Ashton, Ashton Irwin."
I looked to my right at the clock. 3:07 it read. 3:07 AM.
