ALARM:WAKE ME UP BEFORE I GO-GO
My alarm goes off. Ugh fuck Monday's. I only like school because I get to see Esme. Now, all I think about is that dude. I put some clothes and grab a granola bar. Ugh my mom bought the weird organic healthy ones. Shit which shoes am I going to wear. I look at My shoe rack, overwhelmed. Yes, I have that many shoes. I need a whole shoe rack to myself. Actually make that two. It's bad. My shoe collection is in my room closet and my front door way. I'm a public figure so I have to have some variety of shoes. Finally, I set myself on my black One-Star Converse. "Bye" I shout as I head out.
I usually take the trail next to Esme's house. It passes a beach and I can walk with Esme so I enjoy that trail. Though today isn't that day. I feel like taking the sidewalk/street.

  As I head to my locker I see Esme. I'm about to go to her until I see her laugh. I look to her right side only to see that dude in her post. Man, who is that. That's definitely got to be her boyfriend. Whatever. I'll just quickly drop off my books and run to my first class.
"HEY RUEL", fuck. "Hey", I slightly smile. Why am I being like this. I notice how I'm acting different from usual. I know I am but I can't stop.
     I sit at my usual spot and Esme sits next to me. "Have you studied?", Esme asks. "Yeah a bit", I reply. "Oh, I didn't", she shows a sluggish smile. Usually I'd give some notes to my mates back at home if they didn't study for a test. But I just don't trust Esme as much as I do with my friends at home.

Ruel has been awfully distant today. Usually he's always smiling. I was at my locker this morning talking to Dante. Ruel didn't bother to say "hi" to me. When we were walking to class, we were passing by each other but he didn't look at me. I know he knew I was there.
Whatever, I'm going to Dante's after school anyways.

   School over for the day now. I say a quick "bye" to Ruel before walking to Dante's locker. "Hi!", Dante says as he catches me walking to him. "Hey"! "You wanna go to the beach?" he asks. "Yeah"!!!

  I always have clothes at Dante's. I also have toiletries there. We have a bunch of sleepovers.

   We had a beach day. After surfing a ton, we headed to where we are now, Dante's house.
We're sitting on our mattresses and scrolling through our phones.
I look up. Shit we accidentally make eye contact. Usually his brown eyes are just brown eyes to me but this time it was different. When we made eye contact, his eyes were gorgeous. A gorgeous brown honey colour/color :) . "What, do I have something on my face?", oh shit. "Yeah", I play it cool. "Really? Where". "You have an eyelash right here", I point to a spot under his eye. This is really playing out well. He poked at his under eye. "It's gone now", I smile. "Thank youuu", he giggles. "It's good". This is awkward in my perspective.

  We finished watching one of the Iron Man movies.
"Shall we head to bed"? Dante yawns.
"Yeah".

After school I went back to my home. It's confusing because do I call this place home? My old location is my home though. This is just my house? Anyways, I just wrote songs and sang the whole day. It's so lonely. I really need to make guy friends. I can't rely on Esme all the time.
Esme
I wake up by myself which is very rare. Dante is awake already. He's on his phone. "Good morning", I say.
"Good morning bitch", he calls me.
"That's something to wake up to", I lightly punch his shoulder.
"Do you want to go to my pool today"? Dante has a pool but we preferre mine. It has a water fall and over looks the city.
"Yeah"! Dante smiles.
"Wait", he looks up.
"Ughh I have to study for the AP Chem test on Monday". Jeez this boy always procrastinates.
"You haven't yet?!"
"No".
"You need any help with it"? I offer Dante some help.
"Okie", he lightens.
"After can we go to my pool"?
"Yeah"

Dante
(Hello new POV:)
I was so excited for the pool but it's alright. I always procrastinate. I look up and accidentally look at Esme's eyes. It was weird this time. I've never felt this weird/different when I look into her eyes or at her. I shake it off.
While getting out of my blanket I notice Esme looking at me.
"What"
"Uh-umm", is all she says.
"Y-you've got an eyelash under you eye". She points at it.
"Oh thanks", I smile. She always helps me lol.
Esme
I can never get used of boys without a shirt when they aren't at the beach. I'm talking about my guy friends. Yeah I'm friends with mostly guys but it's something I can't get used of.
Dante slept without a shirt. I looked. He catches me. Then I had to make an excuse. A "you've got something on you" excuse. Stupid right? I used the same damn excuse again.
Ruel
"Shut the fuck up Coco"!
Argh. She wakes me up with earrape music on a speaker. I flip her off with my finger.
She does a loud enthusiastic gasp.
"How dare you flip your older sister off".
"How dare you rape your little brothers ears".
"It's Saturday"
"And"? I say getting more irritated.
"Let's go hang out with everyone"!!!!
"With who"?
"Anne"
"Who's Anne"?
"My new friend" Coco smiles.
"Anyone else"? I sigh.
"Fred"
"Who's Fred"?!
"Another new friend"
"Ugh okay I'll go unless you go and give me 20 more minutes... to sleep"!
"Okie" Coco skips out of my room. She will never stop getting annoying.
