It was a chilly Monday morning, I realized as I walked out of my door into the cold November air. My school was only a few blocks away, so I walked everyday. I looked down at my watch, 8:00 sharp- perfect. I took a quick detour and head to Starbucks for a coffee, you know, to start the week off on a good note. My school starts at 7:45 for most everyone, except for seniors, we start later. I was walking down the sidewalk and took a left to find Starbucks. Ahhh I loved this place, especially on days like this. I opened the door and walked inside. Instantly I was warm again. I found the end of the line so I stood and waited. Just then my phone vibrated, it was Niall. Niall is my boyfriend and we've been going out for 2 years. A few of our friends hooked us up and from the moment we met we got on really well. I guess you could say it was love at first sight. I looked down to read the text. "Hey Carmen, hope you have a great day, it's a Monday so i'll see u after school! Love you xx" I sent him back a short reply saying that I love him too. Niall was busy with collage, so he wasn't always able to come over. So we made a deal that no matter what was going on, every Monday we would make sure that we could see eachother. I looked up and realized that I was at the front of the line, it was my turn to order.
"I'll have a medium Pumpkin Spice Latte please." I said pulling out my wallet getting ready to pay. The lady nodded and went off to go make my drink. A few minutes later she came back, I traded her the money for the drink and I was on my way to school. I walked back outside and the brisk cold air hit my face and sent shivers up my spine. About 5 minutes later I was in my school. I walked to my locker, grabbed my books I needed for my classes, and head to first hour, exactly on time. I sat down in my seat and took a sip from my latte. I pulled out my phone and checked for any new messages, there were none. I looked up and saw my best friend Anne walk into the room. We made eye contact and she ran over to me and gave me a huge hug.
"Carmen!" She screamed, as she was smiling. She just got back from a vacation, so we haven't seen eachother in a month.
"Anne! How was the trip?" I asked her, interested.
"Eh, it was actually kind of boring, but better than being stuck at school!" She said shrugging her shoulders. I laughed and she went back to her seat, right as the bell rang.
*After school*
I walked outside and waited at the front of the school for Anne, we were supposed to walk home together today. I felt my phone vibrate, it was from Anne. "Carmen! Sorry, i wont be able to walk today :( But lets hang out tonight!" I texted her back, "Aghh fine, ill just walk by myself and cry :'( hahha but okay, call me when you get home and lets make plans for tonight!" I slipped my phone into my back pocket and headed back home. I headed up my drive way, pulling out my house key. I unlocked the door and set my bag down on the bench and took of my shoes and coat. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bag of chips and sat down to watch T.V. Anne called literally right when I sat down. We made plans to meet up at Starbucks (of course, it was our favorite place to go together), and to go see a movie. I went upstairs to go get dressed and get ready to go.
*RING* *RING* *RING* Someone was calling me. I looked frantically all over the place for my phone. I finally found it in my pocket, I was such a dork, this happens to me all the time.
"Hello?" I asked into the phone.
"Hey babe, it's Niall."He said, he sniffled and sounded pretty stuffed up.
"Oh, hey! Are you okay? You sound sick." I said, worried.
"Actually, yea I am. I don't think I'll be able to come over today, I wouldn't want to get you sick as well." Crap! Today was Monday! I totally forgot that me and Niall were going to hangout and I went and made plans with Anne, ughh I'm such a horrible person.
"Aww, babe it's okay. I just want you to feel better alright? Take some medicine, and drink plenty of water okay? Oh, and get plenty of rest." I told him, deciding not to say that I already had made plans with Anne. And don't get me wrong, I love Niall. I would have hung out with him today but I just forgot about it I guess.
"Okay, I will. But I don't want you to be bored today, I really wish I wasn't sick." He said, I could hear the hurt in his voice.
"Really Niall, it's okay. Maybe I'll make plans with Anne or something." I said, feeling guilty.
"Okay, you do that. Well, I'm going to go, I'm getting a bit of a headache. But have fun with Anne if things work out! Love you Carmen."
"Love you too, Niall." I said, hanging up. Gosh! I really do feel horrible! I know I shoudln't, I mean Niall and I will have plenty of times to see eachother but I don't know, I just feel bad still. Maybe I'll surprise him after school tomorrow with some hot soup or something. I took a deep breathe and decided to brush it off of my shoulders. I really was making this into a way bigger problem for myself than it should be. I finished getting dressed. I scribbled a note to leave my mom, telling her where I would be. Then I went downstairs, slipped back on my coat and shoes and headed out the door sending Anne a quick text, telling her I was on my way.
