"Rise and shine, my morning glory!"

"Oh my god! Get out, Margarita!"

Bitch.

"Thats Aunt Rita to you, wise ass! Now get up! Thomas will fire your ass if you're late."

"Good."

"No, not good. If he fires you then my friend Mike will give you a job. You'll spend your summer cleaning shit out of fifty year old pipes."

"Fine, fine. I'm up."

Needless to say that's how my whole week has been going.

I rush in the shower, so there's really no time to try to kill myself and I try to imagine being at home where no one wakes me up so damn early.

After a slice of burnt toast, thank you, Aunt Rita, I rush down the steps of the porch only to bump into Mason.

Mason.

Mason.

Gorgeous, nextdoor neighbor Mason.

"Howdy."

His only downfall is that he says Howdy, as you have witnessed.

"Hi."

"You're in a hurry."

Nice observation, Captain Obvious.

Wow. I'm a bitch.

"Yup. Late for work."

"Oh yeah! You work at Tommy's with Nina."

"Not exactly with Nina."

At least I try not to, but she spends so much time at the shop during my shift, she should find some shit to do.

"Did she tell you about the bonfire tonight?"

"No."

"That's weird. Any way, yep, there's a bonfire tonight and you should come! Meet some of your future classmates and everything."

That is weird, Nina never shuts up about anything I wonder why she didn't mention it.

"Sitting around a bonfire singing Kumbaya isn't really my thing."

At that I turn to leave, but his hand stops me.

It's resting on my shoulder and it's warm and really, really nice.

"I'd really like it if you'd come."

I smile slightly, "Maybe."

Wow. All it takes is a boy's warm hand and I'm ready to socialise.

He grins boyishly "Just think about it, and remember, I'll be there."

I smirk slightly and turn to walk away.

"Mason Freewald invited you to the bonfire?! You have to come!"

I raise my eyebrow "And why do I have to come, because Mason invited me?"

Nina sighed as if I was oblivious, "Mason is every girls dream, and he likes you."

"What if I don't like him?"

Nina scoffs; a look of disbelief on her face.

"That's impossible."

Wow.

He was hot, but not that hot.

"Nothings impossible, especially for me considering I don't like anybody."
