"Hey Luci, wanna hang out again tomorrow?" Abigail asks, excitement surely evident in her crystal blue eyes.

"Sorry, I can't. I have a lot of work to get done. Maybe another time." I quickly brush.

Work. If you could call that work then I guess I didn't lie.

I hang up the phone after an empty goodbye and toss my phone on my bed. I'll be spending tonight the same as everynight; doing everything I can to fall asleep until I see the sun rise. A hellish cycle, really, but it's only until 6 am that my eyes begin to feel heavy. So the question comes, what do I do all night? Think. Reflect. I'm relatively self destructive, so normally I'll end up writing some shitty poem like an ansty 15 year old scene kid. Tonight felt different, though. I didn't want to lay in bed for hours sulking, but it's nearly 11pm, hardly anyone I know is awake and everywhere is just about closed. So where do I even go? My phone bings with a message, so I lazily unlock my phone and check.

Can't sleep. Anyone up?

I chuckle at the nickname I gave to my best friend Ricardo.

From: Lolli
Sry I'm in a deep sleep. And by deep sleep I mean meme binge.

From: Gopher
Dude I'm literally down the street from you. You could've just walked your ass over here.

My friend group: me, FagMagnet (Ricardo), Lolli (Samuel), and Gopher (Angela).

We all know Ricky isn't gonna get up if he doesn't have to lmao

We all met in high School, all in detention. I had skipped class with my girlfriend at the time to get Micky D's, Ricardo was caught getting high in the bathroom with a few friends, Sam had cussed out his math teacher, and Angie fought some random bitch out of boredom. The teacher on detention duty had to use the bathroom so I took that chance to get on my phone and break it off with that girl, I only used her for sex anyway, and that's when I heard Angie telling off some white chick. I chuckled and Ricky cheered it on. Sam was the one who broke it up, but Angie punched him square in the face. At this point I was dying from laughter, as was Ricky, and me and him bonded off that. Sam complimented her punch and I booed him. So how did we all become friends? After all that fighting, Angie was hungry and Ricky had the munchies, so I offered to give them a ride and Sam was like "fuck it I'll pay" for gas let's go. That day at a small diner, some guy hit on Ricky and we joked about it for the rest of the day. We went to my house and drank beers and Sam decided to show Angie hentai. Very fucked up hentai, but Angie wouldn't stop asking him why he deleted his search history and took his phone so she kinda asked for that. So what's my nickname?

From: FagMagnet
"Fuck off Jerky"

Yup. Jerky. Not because of my love for beef jerky, no, because I jerked off and busted a nut in the boy's locker room because I was dared to. Not my proudest moment.

From: Gopher
We should walk around the city

From: FagMagnet
Yea we shouldn't do that. You tryna get shot? Lmfao

From: Gopher
Nah I do it all the time it's actually pretty chill

From: Me

From: FagMagnet

From: Gopher
