I skate to the smoothie bar and order. I choose a green smoothie which is made of mango, spinach, bananas, soy milk, and spinach. I just gave you a recipe, wink wink.
"ROO-EL", so many people mispronounce my name. It's ridiculous. I grab my drink and scroll through Instagram. Esme posted for the first time in awhile. She's with a guy. I zoom into his face. I don't know who he is. Is Esme with a guy already? I don't know why but I'm jealous. Why am I jealous? I don't even like her. I kind of take that back but not really. I shake it off and continue scrolling.
I get a follow request on my private account. I have two Instagram accounts. One is for friends and family and is private. The other is my business account, which I use for my singing career. I see the profile and it's public. The dude is the one in Esme's post. No one usually requests to follow my private account since it's hard to find. It's literally called Cheetosand_bananas. I love cheetos and I include bananas in my music videos a lot. Don't ask me why I chose that name. It sounds like a kid made it but no fan has found my account yet. I click on this dude's profile. To my surprise it's public. I click on a post. I wonder if he's just a mate or a relative. I mean he didn't have the same features that Esme has. He can be adopted. Or he can be a boyfriend?! Ugh. I don't know.

I decided to hangout with Dante today. He is one of my best friends. I have been friends with him since grade 4. We are having a beach day. We love the beach. I wanted to take a couple of pics to post on Instagram.
Suddenly I'm scooped up by arms and thrown onto shoulders. "Dante!" I quickly throw my phone onto the blanket before I get thrown into water. Dante throws me into the water. Of course, a big wave decides to come through and hit me.
I get up and start splashing Dante. "Hey, I'm going to catch some waves. There are good ones today" he runs to get his surfboard. "I'll just sit here and tan" I'm too tired to surf today. Dante pouts. "Your my surf buddy though". I pout, "and I'm tired", I say sarcastically. He runs away and goes back into the ocean. I close my eyes and soak the sun in.
     I fell asleep and I suddenly hear footsteps getting closer. Suddenly I am scooped up once again. Ugh Dante. "Dante Moeller!" I shout. (If u know, u know who he is) All he does is giggle and chuck me into the ocean while carrying his surfboard. "Well, since you didn't even bother to bring your board... hop on!" what the hell! "What?! I was just scooped up and put into the ocean. How about a no" I say crossing my arms. "That's a shame... BC U HAVE NO CHOICE" Dante yells while laughing. I am picked up for the third time and thrown onto the board. What the fuck.

  It's been an hour and a half. It's been a blast surfing with Dante. We are sitting on the surfboard together and watching the sunset. The sky was filled with colours. I rest my head on Dante's shoulder. We are super close, maybe like siblings.
   The colours in the sky turned black so Dante and I decided it was a good idea to head back. I just sat on the end of the board while Dante did all the work to move it back to shore.
   "I'll take ya home" Dante said. "Okay. Are you staying the night?" I ask. Dante always stays over. He's basically my girlfriend. I mean typically, every girl has a girl bestfriend. Mine is a dude. Dante. He is a part of me and I'm a part of him. We talk about everything. He has wavy blonde beach hair and hazel eyes. Ruel reminds me of him a little bit, not gonna lie.
    "Sure!" Dante says as he takes out his car keys. "Bitch you are not driving" I protest. "You already agreed for me to take you home soooo" Dante is a horrible driver! I snatch his keys and run into the drivers seat. "Heyyy! How am I going to get better at driving if I don't practice?"  "Not today bitch". We call each other bitch.

My Mom was making some dinner when we walked in. "Hey Dante!"  "Oh hi!" my Mom knows Dante pretty well. We walk into my room. "Yo wanna log into our minecraft world?" Dante asks. "Sure! I've been wanting to build a home for Fetus", Fetus is our minecraft cats' name. Don't ask why it's called Fetus. "Sure go ahead".

After hours of gaming and watching movies Dante and I became tired. We lay out the mattresses because we never sleep together.

After hanging at the smoothie bar I went back home and did nothing. I hadn't had a lazy day in months! Now I'm just chillin on my bed after getting my stomach stuffed with dinner. My Dad always cooks the best meals. He's the chef in the family.
