"you can't judge a book by its cover."
he looks at me as if i was a whole different person. "why not?"
"because you haven't even read one page in."
"then let me."
i always wondered what it'd be like to wake up to a mom and dad who love you. especially when it's the weekend and you have no idea where either of your parents are.
i scroll through netflix on my laptop and click on the first interesting-looking series that pops up. insatiable starts playing and i sit back on my headboard, setting my laptop in my lap.
my phone buzzes next to me and i grab it, hitting the lock button to see the notification.
tana: party tonight. you down or not?
i sigh and text back my response.
yeah. meet at my place before
i hit send and within minutes i receive a text back.
tana: wow, surprised you want to come. i'll see you at 7 x
i roll my eyes at her text and throw my phone on my bed at my feet, engaging myself back into my series.
"this is boring as fuck," i groan grabbing my phone and not paying attention to the show.
i scroll through my camera to find my pictures from my last summer's trip to spain. i decide on posting a picture, one when i still had my red hair. i kinda miss it.

i roll my eyes at collin's comment. he was my "boyfriend" in sixth grade back when we knew nothing about relationships and dating.
i get another text message from tana, telling me she is on her way. ugh, already? it's like only five.
about ten minutes later i hear her annoying voice enter my home and i throw the duvet off of me. she comes storming up into my room, holding her hand up to tell me not to talk to her. some other voice babbles on the other end of the phone, clearly loud.
"yeah, whatever, bye kendra."
oh, her mom. see tana and i both have parent problems. although, her father is amazing and always there for her when her mother, kendra, couldn't give two shits about her. we relate on the mother part, not so much the father part.
she slams her phone down so hard on the desk that i swear it's going to break.
i giggle a little. "you good?"
"yeah, fine," she says shaking it off. "who's ready to get laid at a party? whoop!"
i laugh and shake my head.
she grabs out her enormous makeup bag and starts applying way too much. i just start off simple with a natural nude smokey eye, eyeliner, highlight, contour and a little bit of concealer. then i swipe some mascara on my lashes.
