A week and a half later

My eyes flutter open as the morning sun comes through the windows. I reach over Ana and grab my phone, turning off my alarm.

She rolls over and says without opening her eyes, "What time is it?"

"Very early, go back to bed."

She nods and falls back to sleep.

This past week I've been intentionally avoiding George, though it isn't easy since he's right down the hall.

Today's the first day of school so I'm really hoping that it gives me a lot of opportunities to be out of the house. My first day at Build-A-Bear was yesterday and I really like being around all the kids.

Jordan seems really nice and yesterday after work we went to SCHS so she could help me find my classes.

(A/N: SCHS= South Couty High School.)

I walk into the bathroom and take out my curler.

By the time that was done I apply a natural shade of makeup with black eyeliner and mascara.

I walk back into my room and open the second drawer of my dresser. I look around at my clothes and take out a jean button up along with a pair of cropped black leggings.

(A/N: Visit @hidden.me on Instagram to see the visual for the shirt! And the characters:) still haven't found one for Jonah, be sure to give it a follow!!)

I look to make sure both the kids are sleeping and that George wasn't in sight, then I slip out of my last night clothes into my first day of school clothes.

I walk out of my room and into the bathroom, looking at myself in the full body length mirror.

I smile at my reflection then head into my mothers room.

I tap her shoulder, "Mom, I'm taking your car into school today, I'll call you when I get home. Please don't forget to wake up Jonah and Ana. I'll get them from school later, we should probably fill our tank soon."

She nods, "Mom I'm serious."

"Okay Drew, have a nice day."

I walk into the living room, grabbing my backpack from the couch and I walk out the door.

I drive down a small road hoping to be going the right way, now that I am friends with Jordan we are now carpooling, or well, I'm bringing her to and from school. I think it's going to work out well though since we have the same job and live farely close to one another, and she said she'll contribute to gas money.

I come to a stop and look out to the house I assume to be hers since I'm at 76 Harem Road, which is where she said she lives.

Her house for one was huge and I can see her crystal chandelier through the gigantic window that I assume portrays her stairwell.

After a few minutes of gaping at her upscale and rather ginormous house and wishing that I had the the luxury she had, she finally runs out of the house in what seems like a hurry and hops into my car.

"Jordan I am very upset with you."

She let's out a breath and nods, "I know I know I'm running late, my fucking alarm didn't go off!!"

I laugh, "Well damn, that sucks. But no, you did not inform me that you lived in a MANSION!"

Her cheeks turn red and she shrugs, "Sorry, I didn't know it was something you would be interested in knowing."
