It's Friday and that fact alone is my only motivation for getting through this dreadful day. I need to be out of the house this weekend. I don't care where, but I can't take being there anymore. I know I probably should stay home in case something happens with mom, but I'm sure Autumn can handle it. I hope Autumn can handle it. And there's a chance that dad might be home, in case she needs any help.
I see Mason and Jack standing by their lockers, which are right next to each other. My locker is all the way down the hallway which kind of sucks, but what can you do? I walk towards them.
"What are we doing this weekend?" I ask, not even bothering to say hello to them. I'm to determined for greetings.
"Well, good morning to you too." Mason says sarcastically while laughing.
"I have literally no plans bro," Jack says with a sigh, "we can always go to Steph's, I don't think she'll mind."
Stephs house, great. It's not like I was there last night or anything. Whatever, anything to get out of the house. Plus her house has a pool and her fridge is always full of food.
"Sure, let's ask her at lunch."
And with that we go our separate ways to our classes. After Literature Noah asks if he can walk with Violet and I to lunch and she says yes before I can even open my mouth to reply. I swear she's too nice sometimes. He tells her about all of his classes and which teachers he likes and doesn't like. I walk next to them feeling like somewhat of a third wheel. He really does get along well with girls, even girls in relationships. When we arrive at the lunch table Violet immediately sits next to Mason and Jenna calls Noah to sit with her, Steph and some other cheerleader whose name I also can't remember. I take a seat next to Jack, grabbing a handful of his fries and stuffing it into my mouth. He groans and is about to say something, but I interrupt him.
"So Stephanie, how about we all come over this weekend?" I ask.
"Sure, but only till Saturday though. My parents are coming home on Sunday." She says with an annoyed sigh and I nod in reply. Any amount of time out of the house is honestly fine with me.
"Great, we'll bring the drinks." Jack says on behalf of him, Mason and I.
Jenna turns to face Noah with a flirty smile.
"Will you be joining us?" She asks him and he looks at me, as if he's asking for my approval. I don't do or say anything though, I just stare back. Even from across the table, the green in his eyes is extremely noticeable. I wonder how my eyes look to him.
"Sure, why not?" He says finally turning away from me and looking back at her. Is it just me or did that stare feel like it lasted really long?
Great, now I have to watch these girls shamelessly flirt with Noah all night. At least I can get drunk and pretend it's not happening. I should go to a new school too so that I can also be fresh meat and get all the girls' attention. I spend the rest of lunch eating half of Jack's fries, I don't have food or money today and he's not complaining so I guess it's okay.
After school I walk home with Autumn to get everything I need for tonight. She keeps asking me where I'm going, but I doge the question. The last thing I need is for her to ruin my weekend. I hate to admit it, but I'm really looking forward to being out of the house tonight. I grab a change of clothes, underwear and my toothbrush. I wait for Mason to tell me he's outside so that we can buy some drinks and pregame for tonight. I didn't ask Noah to come with because I don't really know how Mason and Jack feel about him. I mean, he did say that I'm his only male friend in this school.

"GOAL!" Jack shouts with running around the living room with his arms high up in the air. Mason and I just laugh at his crazy behavior. This is what I meant when I said "pregame", a few games of fifa always gets you ready for a night out. Jack and Mason are playing right now and Jack is winning. Mason isn't bad at fifa, but he's definitely not good either, not as good as Jack and I at least. After Jack sits back down I decide to ask them what they think about Noah. I can't seem to get it off it my off my mind, what do the other guys think about him? I can't be the only one getting some weird vibes from him. I mean, what was up with that stare at lunch?
"So what do you think about the new guy?" I ask, trying to sound nonchalant.
"Who? That Noah guy?" Mason asks not looking away from the screen.
"Yeah."
"He seems cool, he's coming tonight right?" Mason asks.
"Yeah, he is."
"Why are you asking anyway? Do you have a crush on him?" Jack says jokingly and he and Mason start laughing. I suddenly get really pissed off, of course I don't have a crush on him. Why would that even be the automatic assumption?
"Relax man, it was just a joke." Mason says and gives me a pat on my knee. He obviously noticed that I'm getting upset because he finally looks away from the screen at me. Jack decides to take advantage of this oppurtunity.
"GOAL!" Jack shouts again, making me laugh and Mason groan. I guess I was being a bit dramatic. I won't let this ruin the night.

I'll try and update again soon. xxx
