"Ellie, You better not be sleeping, you're going to be late for school.....AGAIN!" my mother yelled from downstairs

     Technically I wasn't sleeping, I was trying to finish my last mission in GTA 5, I mean I dedicated a whole night and french homework to getting close to finishing this game.  I begin to hear my mom storming up the steps...Shit... I pause the game and roll out of bed and dash to my bathroom, Thank God I have a walk in bathroom. When I look in the mirror I can see the hours I wasted playing that video game, I put up my Curly, dyed blood red hair into a bun and hop into the shower.

I decide that since I have soccer practice after-school that I might as well wear some joggers and a tank top, I throw on a pair of Nike Trainers and when I look at the clock I see that I am only going to be 10 minutes late today if I leave now, I grab my book-bag and try to race down the steps before my mom catches me, I make it out the house and head to the train station

"I will never understand why you tainted your hair"  a voice that sounded like Joe said behind me

I turn around and see my best friend Joe behind me, Joe has been my friend since 6th grade and we even dated my first year of high-school, and then 2 weeks later he told me that he was gay. It  would of been more humiliating if Joe wasn't such a great friend, There was a time that I secretly wished that he was Straight and that we would fall in love but that dream shattered in my sophomore year when he started dating his current boyfriend Tony. 

"You, Bitch, you love it" I taunt

"Only in your dreams" He replies

"What's your excuse today for being late?" I ask as we enter the train

"Tony, he loves to gab my ears off, I would leave him if I wasn't so helplessly in love" Joe replies in a fake dramatic tone

" Being helplessly in love is better than being helplessly alone" I say in a joking tone

"Oh come on! You and Dylan are one more fight away from doing it on the soccer field" he says teasingly 

I can't help but cringe at the thought of doing it with that jerk, Dylan Saunders.

Before I can even reply, Joe gets up and leaves the train, I'm confused for a second until I realize that this was our stop, I rush off the train and walk with Joe to School

When we finally arrive at School and walk to our lockers (10 minutes late, which I successfully predicted) I can't help but give a moan at the long day ahead of me. 

" I didn't know you missed me that much babe"  a voice that irritatingly sounded like Dylan Saunders said behind me 

"You know I just love a man who doesn't mind getting his ass handed to him on the field" I say as I  shut my locker and begin to walk to my first class
