I haven't done much today except for clean my house with my little brother, Kenny.
Kenny & I have been cleaning for a good 2 hours because we'd be in big trouble if our mom & dad came home to a messy house. But that's Kenny's reason to be helping me. Mine is because my good friend Jenny is going to be coming over. Jenny & I always say that we're the best sisters in the world! We have so much in common! We're both 17, have many similar interests like horror movies, writing & reading, track, & cheer! But our differences sometimes overwhelm us & hide the good. Jenny is a lot more emotional out of the two of us, she wore dark clothes & was full out emo at school, she never listened to her parents even though she loved them so much. The only boundary she wouldn't push, dating. Myself of the other hand acts like the opposite almost all the time. I hide my emotions deep inside & dress all girly. I'm a bit bigger than most girls in my school but that doesn't hold me back. Jenny loves me for who I am & that's all I care about. For now though, I should probably stay focused on the preparations, & getting ready to see Jenny.

It's been about half an hour since Jenny said she was on her way, so she must be walking. But thats okay, it's given me time to finish my cleaning, get Kenny his dinner & ship him off to his friends house, & have some food ready for myself & Jenny when she arrives. Then, the back door swings open & Jenny steps inside. She was wearing a blue tee-shirt with the name of some band she likes on the front of it, tucked into a pair of black, ripped up jean shorts that go down to her knees. She was wearing black 4inch heels or something, which matched a flower pin that sits in her short, blond hair.
"Hi, Martha!" Jenny says as she closes the door, she has not yet made eye contact with me, since she's trying to keep her balance.
I'm laughing up a storm, "What, did you break one of the neighbours things?" Referring to the fact that it seemed like she rushed inside. Jenny comes in through the back door because she hates walking around the whole block, so the people behind me let her jump the fence into my backyard as long as she doesn't break anything.
"Nope. I would've ran home & called you if I did that. I just wanted to see how fast I could jump the fence in heels, & I figured it out," Jenny finally looked me in the eyes after closing the door, "4 seconds, except the fact that I tripped & almost fell inside your house, face first if I may add."
"Well then..." I said to Jenny, "I'm not sure what to say about that." I was holding in the biggest laugh.
"If you're gonna laugh then do it." She stated. It was obvious that she was very annoyed but I didn't care anymore, & so I did. I handed her a pair of fluffy, pink slippers as she went upstairs to my bedroom.

I look down to dust off my blue jeans. They had a lot of holes in them but I was wearing fishnet tights underneath so it looked good. I had a white long sleeve shirt tucked into my belt & was wearing fluffy blue socks that matched the headband I was wearing.

Jenny came back downstairs in a red tank top, still wearing the same shorts, but now also wearing the slippers I gave her instead of her heels. Her makeup consist of mostly nude colours, with a dark lip. Mine is more the other way around.
"Did you make dinner, Martha?" Jenny plugged her phone into the wall while questioning me, so I simply say,
"Yeah, mashed potatoes & Russian mushrooms with gravy."
"Awesome, hurry & bring it to the couch our show is on." Jenny laugher, walking over to the tv to turn it onto the channel with our show. We sit down with our food on our laps & watch our show in almost complete silence, saying the odd word to one another during each commercial break, just eating & watching the show. Jenny got up & grabbed both our empty plates & walked to the kitchen. She filled the sink & began to wash all of our dishes from dinner. I sat up & walked behind her, still silent, & I hugged her. My hands wrapped around her waist & I just smiled. Jenny chuckled, drying off her hands & turning around to face me. She was taller than me so it was easy for her to put her arms around my head & pull me closer to her heart. Hearing it beat made my heart flutter, but I couldn't tell her that. She's straight & has a boyfriend, so what's the point of even mentioning liking her? Hell, she doesn't even know I'm a lesbian. But then, Jenny grabbed my cheeks & looked me in the eyes,
"I love being friends with you, Martha."
"I love being friends with you as well, Jenny." I said before cuddling closer to her.

Jenny & I walk upstairs into my bedroom & get ready to go to sleep. I put on my sweatpants & a tank top & Jenny put on her nightgown. We tuck ourselves into bed & smile at each other.
"Goodnight, Jenny." I say, rolling over to face away from her & begin to drift off to sleep.
"Night, Martha." She replied, turning away from me. Jenny & I fell asleep around 2am, all I knew was that we were gonna need a lot of coffee in the morning.
