I stretch my arm out reaching the nightstand beside my bed taking my phone in hand. I quickly rub my eyes making me wake up faster. The light coming in from the window blinds me for a second but soon enough i get used to it.

I sit up in my bed leaning against the wooden frame, i instantly check my phone for that one message i wait for everyday, but.....nothing

I let out a small laugh. To think that the boy i like would actually be interested in me....what a joke! i think to myself

I let out a sigh as i get up and i start walking to the kitchen, phone in hand still in hopes that he will text me.

I always forget im alone. This apartment is pretty, others would say it's a teenagers dream to live alone away from their parents...away from responsibilities....yeah no.

I miss my mom and dad telling my to clean my room or just waking up and them being in the kitchen making breakfast. Its the littlest things that make me miss them the most.

In the end I pushed myself to make breakfast but i only end up eating half of what I actually cooked.

As i was washing my dishes my phone starts ringing

|Amanda|
Hey em theres a party 2night wanna come?:)

|Me|
Let me guess ur bf invited u but u gotta trick ur mom into thinking ur going with me? 🤨😐

|Amanda|
Pretty much:/ i mean i was going to invite u anyways so...🤷🏻‍♀️

|Me|
Idk Amanda, every time i go to one of ur little friends party i always have to bring ur drunk ass home...not to mention ur mom thinks im the bad influence 😒

|Amanda|
Are u coming or not?🤨

|me|
Yeah sure whatever.

I put my phone dow and started to get ready for today.

"Hey em" Amanda catches up with me and we both go to my locker.

"Hey Amanda" i smile at her as I start putting in the combination to my locker.

"So about that party tonight..." she leans against the lockers twirling the end of her booksack between her fingers.

I sigh and close my locker. "What happened now?" I asked crossing my hands.

"There's a change of plans" she says.

I furrowed my eyebrows not sure where she was going with this conversation. "Ok...so there's no party?" I asked.

She stands up straight and starts walking back to class, i follow. "No, there is not." She says in a sad tone."But...Daniel invited me to stay over at his house and of course I can't go without you" she stops walking and looks at me hopeful.
