twenty-two

    It's been ten months since I moved to Washington, and so far everything was good, and so was school. I was able to make some friends, though it was kind of difficult considering people here are not as welcoming as the ones in California. Everyone seemed to be more bitchy if possible. I don't mind though, as I still have Dee and Leo. For the passed ten months, we have been facetiming as often as we can, which was pretty easy considering we are still in the same time zone. Though we haven't face timed for a good four weeks now, and we barely even talked since finals is just around the corner and so was prom. And knowing Dee, she'd want everything to be perfect for her first and last senior prom.

    Within the past ten months, I was able to finally get my driver's license once I turned 17, which was last july just a month after I left California. I also received a car from the Styles as my birthday gift, it was a pitch black 2017 jeep wrangler, with beige leather interior. I obviously cried a river and declined it but they insisted. We were on facetime when my aunt called me down for a surprise, telling me that there was something at the front door for me. Obviously I knew it was a package from the Styles, though I thought it was going to be the typical gucci dresses they would alway give me, but no it was the jeep. Now Dee and I have matching car, though hers is white with black and red interior.

    It was pretty difficult keeping up with the gas money though, as I noticed how much Jeep uses gas. And at that time I was only working part time for Coldstone, until I was able to convince them to give me a full time job. Half of my salary going to the car whilst the other to my savings for college.

    Two hours have passed, and finally we were off school. Quickly, I rushed to get into my car before starting it not wanting to have people ask me for rides, specially Em, one of my closest friend here, I don't really want to deal with her right now. Suddenly I received a call, I answered it through the car using bluetooth.

    "Anna speaking," before turning to the road. "Hey Anna-banana," Leo's laugh echoed throughout the car making me smile, "Hello to you too stud," luckily, Leo actually lives in Seattle, if not I wouldn't know how to cope with everything. We actually have been on a few 'dates' and he is quite the stunner for sure.

    "Wondering if you want to go to Oregon tomorrow? Maybe at Woodburn?" he asked, "if you're driving then sure," I joked. "Gladly, I'll pick you up at maybe 8 in the morning?"

    "Sure, my car or yours?" I asked, taking a turn to my neighborhood, although I live only five minutes from the school, I have to consistently get gas due to the amount of going back and forth from school to house then back to work then house again.. And also because the ice cream shop I work out was at least twenty minutes from where I live. "Uh- we'll debate that later, still thinking which car I'm going to use," he sarcastically said, knowing damn well we will be using mine. He never uses his cars for long road trips, his prissy ass.

    "Don't forget gas money," I joked, parking on the driveway of the house, before ending the call on the car and using my phone instead. Slinging my kanken on my shoulder. "Ha as if," he scoffed.

    "Anyways I got to go, dad's calling me, bye babe," bidding his goodbyes, "tell Lou I said hey, bye," I laughed. Luckily Lou, Leo's dad, have been welcoming this whole time and even told me about how he saw me as his own. Which can be weird considering the questionable relationship I have with his son. Yes we went on dates and maybe kissed a few times but we are not official so I'm not quite sure where we stand.

    "Auntie, I'm home," I beckoned once I shut the front door close behind me.
