I wake up to my best friends ringtone.

"Ugh! Duncahahahannn!" I whine while pRYING MYSELF UP oN my bed.

My "early morning blues" as my dad calls it immediately faded as I looked at the picture on the screen of my ALL TIME BEst friend and I.

It was by FAR my favourite picture in the wHOLE world.

I answer

I answer.

"Yeah, Hey, What?" I say sounding very monotone.

"Good morning to you too" he says sweetly through the screen of my iPhone 6s Plus.

"Sorry, you just woke me up" I tell him.

"Just woke you up!? Pheeph, it's 11 am"

"WHAT!?" I scream.

"Be right back" I say getting out of bed and storming out of my room wearing my oversized Rolling Stones shirt that I wear as a night gown.

"Oh no..." I hear Duncan say as I leave the room.

As I'm walking down the stairs, I frustratedly tie my short hair up using the baby blue scrunchy on my wrist.

I stomp into the kitchen thinking I'd find him there but I was proven wrong.

I then wonder into the living room.

"There you are! Grandpa! I thought you were gonna wake me up! You always wake me up when I sleep over! Duncan FaceTimed me and my excuse for looking like I do is that it was- I mean I THOUGHT it was 9. I sleep until 9 on weekends!" I rant to my grandpa nOT KNOWING THAT THERE IS 2 MEn sitting beside my grandpa.

"Phia..." he says pointing to the men while he's trying to hold in a laugh. I can tell.

"Sophia, these are the Duffer brothers. The writers of Stranger Things. I told you we have important stuff to do today"

"Oh my gosh! I'm sooo sorry! Umm... you guys uh, keep-yeah, keep talking. Il go get dressed properly. I am so so sorry. Oh wow Pheeph" I say whispering the last part.

As I walk back upstairs, I think of what just happened.

"Wow your granddad's house is echoey" Duncan says as I walk into my room.

"You heard?" I whine.

"Just the part where you apologized MULTIPLE times. But don't worry, it wasn't that bad. You handled it well. So who are those men? Friends of your grandpas?"

"Uh, yeah!" I reply WAy too fast.

"Umm, gotta go. Talk later?" I say then hang up before giving him a chance to answer.

Wow.

I'm a horrible person.

I've never lied to Duncan before.

I guess I really wanna keep this a secret.
