Bad habits

'If i wans't out with my dad i would come keep you company;)'

The next morning I awake forgetting that I have two friends in my room. We all wake up round about the same time. I am still so tired as I have only had 3 hours sleep since I spent all night taking to Esme's friend Finn all night. He seemed like a nice boy, sweet, funny and kind of damaged but I can't really judge someone who is damaged. He seems so scared about everything. I'm just happy I made him smile and laugh by the end of the phone call. I hope life gets better for him, I'll probably never talk to him again.

Only an hour later Esme's father comes to pick her up and she is off to Ireland for a few days. Then an hour later Cassie has left me too. They both thank me for a 'great night' and say that we should do it again some time. I hope we can, I had a nice time.

Once they both have left I call my mother and ask what the family plans are? Since my sister, step dad and mother are not home.

"We have gone to see one of Timothy's friends, since you was sleeping and the girls were round I didn't wake you. So you have the house to yourself for the day. You can cook for yourself. See you late tonight. I am trusting you Annie" she don't even let me get a word in. She must be busy. Well since this is the first time I've been alone home alone since. Well ever. Also, considering my 'emotional unstableness' I'm wondering maybe my mum is finally trusting me again. I am not going to do anything too big. I make myself some more cereal and a cup of tea and decide what I want to do with my day.

Since I am not very productive or maybe I am too lazy to think of anything to actually do and I only have two friends and they are both busy and they have only just left my house I go with spending the day alone and just chill and maybe catch up on some sleep. I clean up mess from the night before, have a shower and get into some comfy clothes. It's only 11am by the time I lay back on my bed with my phone ready to spend the day doing absolutely nothing. I should be doing homework or something but I can't really be bothered so I decide to see what is going on in the world of social media.

I first check out updates on blackberry messenger. All the people I have on here from school are writing about parties people are having and how they love hanging out together. I've lost count how many times I have seen 'best summer ever' at someone's bloody status. I can't moan at least no one is mocking or harassing me on here anymore. Still scrolling through the stupid updates from people I have to call my 'class mates' I see that Esme has updated her status and so has Cassie.

*Thanks for a fun night Annie and Cassie. You guys are awesome*

*wow last night was cool with Esme and Annie. I love you girls*

I smile at the statuses then find myself giggling. We really did have a good time. It was a laugh and I haven't felt this relaxed and happy in a while so I owe it to them to say thank you as well and decide to write one too, in some sort of response.

*much fun last night with the two girlies Cassie and Esme. Now a day of doing nothing and being home alone all day :)*

And save. I added a smiley face because for once I really am smiling. I scroll through a little more then have a chat with Molly. It's only short because she is on holiday and I miss her. So I tell her to have fun. She wishes me good luck on my upcoming shows in the city theatre and she can't wait to see me back at school in just over two weeks. I can't believe the summer has gone so quick. I update my display picture on my profile to one of me and Esme the night before and put my phone down to go make a drink.

Just as I lock my phone is buzzes. Why does that always happen? It's so annoying. I type in my password and open my message. That's when i realise I must of added Finn on messenger last night or early hours this morning. The message reads

*hello again Annie. I just wanted to say thank you again for last night*

Aww he is so cute. I decide a simple reply is okay. I don't mind if he wishes to talk to me anymore so I'll let him decide if our chat goes any further than a thank you.

*you're very much welcome. I hope all goes well with you*

Yeah. That's cool. I mentally give myself a round of applause for being so laid back and keeping my shit together longer than 24 hours. I wasn't expecting a reply so when I got a message back. I was a little thrown off. Especially with the context of the message.

*thanks, you too. Oh I see you are home alone, if I wasn't out with my dad I would come keep you company ;)*

Damn. Was Finn flirting with me? He didn't even know me. I didn't know how to react. I has a weird exited feeling in my belly. So I went with gut instinct.

*arw that's a shame. Maybe another day. Would be nice to meet mystery boy :P*

A sticky out tongue face is okay right? After messaging him back I decide to look at his picture and stuff while I wait for a reply. His display name is very simple 'Finn hart' Unlike the boys and girls who Insist on having stupid characters in their names which makes it almost impossible to read. I roll my eyes at the fact that everyone had such simple nice names and I have a terrible long-winded name that I can't stand to admit or say out-load. His picture is actually really cute. A dreadful mirror selfie none of the less but still super cute. He has this weird crooked smile and lovely brown eyes. He looks like the kinda guy you would want to know. You would want in your life. As I get lost in the thought of being friends with someone like him and hanging out in a group all the time. Me him Esme and Cassie. A delusional thought. My little day dream is stopped by the boy himself replying to me.

The chat stayed on that kind of flirty level for a while and we didn't talk about ex's or any depressing topics. We just laughed and played around until I fell asleep about 3 in the afternoon in the middle of our conversation. Wow I was so tired I slept straight through to the next day. Why didn't I get woken up? Maybe my mum though I had gone to sleep at a reasonable time like 10pm and not mid afternoon. No way would she have let me slept so much.

"Annie, get up we are going to get your school clothes from your school then going shopping" my mum is walking around the house talking to me and telling me to get up but now I feel like I have slept to much so I just want to sleep even more. However, I manage to get up and make myself look presentable by the time we have to leave. We all pile into the car and leave.

I hate having to wake up and get ready and go. I like taking my time getting ready. I was so tired so the morning was kind of hazy and fast. Which was odd considering I had just had over 16 hours sleep!

I check my phone and see I really did fall asleep mid conversation. I even fell asleep mid sentence. So I erase my message I failed to send last night and and send a quick message to Finn apologising for falling asleep. He assures me it's alright and offers to chat or call later on that day. I tell him I will have to see on what my mother has planned for me.

My school isn't far in the car. 20 minutes maybe so once I had finished texting Finn and sending a few texts to the girls asking if they are alright we have pulled up in the car park.

God dammit I hate this bloody school. I had forgotten about this shitwhole and all the assholes that come with it. Speaking of an asshole. Whilst walking into the hall to buy my new school clothes, since my school decided they wanted to change half the uniform this year, I lock eyes with Elijah.
