I woke up to the annoying sound of my alarm clock. I sat up and slapped it to the ground , making sure the plug came out. It was freaking Saturday. Why is my alarm going off again?
WORK! I jumped out of bed so quick I tripped . I looked on my dresser for my phone . Oh Yea.
I picked the alarm clock up and plugged it back in. 7:10 . I had less thank a hour to get ready.
I ran to my closet grabbing my What-a-Burger work shirt, black jeans , and undergarments. I grabbed my towel and went to the restroom to get ready.
----------------------------
When I was done with my speed shower, brushed teeth, and my curly hair in a ponytail ,I rushed to the kitchen. On the counter was my phone and car keys . I mentally smiled. I picked my phone up and shoved it in my pocket. Under it was a note that read:
Work and Back.
Great dad , way to be authoritive. I grabbed my car keys and walked out of the door. Today I'm going to have to skip breakfast. I jumped in my car.
When I made it to work it was 7:59 . Almost late. I hurried and took my piercings out trying not to snatch it and put it in my Ziploc bag . I turned the car off and got out, locking it as I walked .
Time for Patty cooking and Table wiping .
When I got off of work it was 4:10 . I clocked out and walked to my car. I grabbed my phone and dialed Silo, one of my bestfriends since 7th grade year.
"Dude what happened to you. " Her voice rang through the phone. I knew she was talking about Dylan's party. "I called your phone a million times last night ."
"My dad took it " I started, "then gave it back the next morning. " I could hear her giggle.
"Wow , way to break down the rules Mr. Silan." She was right. My dad never punished me long enough. I don't think he knew how. He'd take my phone for usually a week. One thing he never did though was take my car keys. Until last night.
"Hey, you still there. " Silo said snapping me back to reality. "Yeah. "
"Come to my house , your off work right. " I thought about it. I actually would love to chill with Silo today , but my dad.
"I can't, work and back. "
"Well then me and Jussane will come over there ". She sure knew how to work her way around the rules. Jussane.
He was one of those really cute male friends you have but never actually date. Last year when we where Sophomores, I was at his house for his 16th birthday. We we're both wasted and ended up in his room making out. I stopped it.
I didn't want to go any further. We've been friends since Freshman year and I didnt want to ruin that. We never spoke a word to Silo about the kissing. Come to think of it, we never said a word about it afterwards either.
Something's are better off left unexplained. That make out session was one of them .
"OK, call me when your on your way." I told Silo before hanging up.
10 minutes later I pulled into my drive way. My dad's car was gone . He works morning shifts on weekends .
I got out of my car and walked to the front door exhausted. When I was inside the house I walked to the kitchen to get some water.
As I was pouring the glass of water a piercing sound came from down the hallway . What the hell ?
I put my glass down and slowly walked near the sound. "Hello? " Nothing. Maybe I'm just really tired. As I turned around the sound came again starling me. I ran down the hallway stopping at the basement door.
One rule that is absolutely stretched at this house is that the basement is off limits. Why? How would I know. I couldn't get even this close to it without my dad freaking out.
A scratching nose snapped me out if my thoughts causing me to jump back. "Who's there? " I grabbed the doorknob not waiting on a answered before the door bell sounded.
I stared at the basement door one last time before leaving. Whatever is going on, I don't think I want to know.
I walked back to the front of the house to answer the door. It was Jussane and Silo.
