I wake up to my alarm. I had a peaceful sleep last night. Probably because I was sick and my nightmares decided it was trash if they woke me up.

I stop my alarm and get out of bed. I sniffle my sickness kinda going away but definitely still there. I go to the washroom and brush my teeth. I put on some black ripped jeans and a white tank top. What to do with my messy hair. I need a hair cut honestly. I want to cut it short. I tie it back. I slip on my vans grabbing my bag and phone. I start going downstairs and cough a whole bunch. I go into the kitchen and grab a water bottle and then get a text from Sam saying he's here.

  "Hey" I said my voice raspy once I got into his car.
  "Hey" he replies. "Feeling any better?"
  "Yeah. Way better than yesterday" I nod. "Do you think I should get a hair cut?" I asked. "Cause I want to. I want to cut it short."
  "How short?" He asks.
  "Here" I demonstrate with my hands where.
  "I think it'd look good" he nods. "My moms a hair stylist. You can just ask her" he says.
  "Really?" I asked he nods. "Cool I'm coming by then today if she's free."
  "Yeah whenever I'm sure" he laughs.

We got to the school and that's when a wave of coldness runs over me and I'm cold.
  "Bad idea" I say to myself.
  "What?" He asks.
  "Wearing a tank top" I mutter. "I forgot that I was sick obviously and didn't realize that I get cold flashes" I reply.
  "I have a sweatshirt in my locker" we walk into the school.

  "BITCH!!" Austin comes up to me.
  "Hey" I say.
  "Are you still sick?" He asks I nod. He backs up a bit.
  "Lets go to my locker" I tell him and we do while Sam goes to his not far from mine.
  "So next weekend there's a party not the weekend coming up but after that. It's Jacob Martins I'm pretty sure" he says. "We're going because apparently it's giant."
  "Ya Cool" I nod. I shove my shit in there. "Where's Stella?" I asked.
  "I think she got sick" he sighs.
  "Oh" I frown.
  "Probably your fault" he says giving me a look. "So stay back."
  "You can stay back bitch" I say he laughs.

  "Jo!" Dylan comes up.
  "Hey" I respond shutting my locker still cold as fuck. He leans into kiss me. "Still sick hun."
  "Right" he laughs. "You said you needed to talk" he tells me.
  "Right" I sighed. Austin slowly slips away. "So my dad's having a barbecue for my uncle this Friday, sometimes we have them. He wanted me to bring you.. so you could meet him" I tell him. "If it's not a problem" I shrug.
  "That's fine" he laughs. "A little scary but chill" he nods.
  "Cool" I nod.
  "Your uncles gonna be there too?" He asks.
  "Yeah he will," I nod.
  "Even better" he laughs nervously.
  "You're fine" I pat him. "Sam, Austin, Stella and Caleb will be there. Maybe Kyle" I shrug.
  "Ya but none of them are meeting your dad for the first time as a boyfriend" he scratches the back of his head.
  "You'll be fine Dylan. Sam was fine and he's a guy that's a friend" I shrug.
  "Right" he mutters. I wrap my arms around myself.
  "Sorry here" Sam comes up and looks up. He sees Dylan. "Oh, hi" he says. I take his sweatshirt from him.
  "Thanks it's freezing" I laugh.
  "Really it's like so fucking hot in here for me" Dylan laughs. He watches me put the sweatshirt on.
"Ya I'm sick" I laugh.
"So Friday right?" Dylan asks.
"Mmhmm" I nod.
"Kay, see ya later" he kisses my cheek and walks away.
"You told him" Sam holds back a smile.
"Yeah I told him. I kind f have to for him to show up" I roll my eyes.
"What happened?" He asks.
"Nothing, he's scared" I laugh.
"See there's the difference between me being chill and all and not being afraid and him being a puss" he states.
"He's my boyfriend. It's different" I say we start walking Austin comes up too.
"You told him?" he asks.
"I did he's scared" I nod.
"Who's scared what did we tell?" Caleb and Kyle show up randomly.
"And why the fuck are you wearing a sweatshirt?" Kyle asks.
"I'm sick" I said. "It explains the voice. And my dad's having a barbecue on Friday, made me invite Dylan" I shrug.
"Ooooohh" Caleb smirks. "He has to go through your dad and your uncle. And my mom. That's a tough one."
"Yeah we'll see" I shrug.
"So who's all going?" Kyle asks.
  "All you guys I assumed" I shrug. "Why?"
  "Just asking" he shrugs. The bell rings.
  "See ya betches" Austin says and we all go.
