5:00pm
After the groceries are put away, I grab a handful of chocolate from my stash, shove it in my pocket, and then crawl out my window. I push Taylor's window up and pull myself in. It's almost 5:30 in the afternoon and she's asleep, so I tiptoe to her side of the bed and kneel down. She's got her facemask on and her dirty blond hair is matted to her cheek, thanks to the amount of drool she produces while she sleeps. I inch in as close as I can to her face and scream her name.

"TAYLOR! WAKE UP!" She jerks herself up with such force that I don't have time to move out of her way. Her flailing elbow crashes into my eye and I fall back. I immediately cover my throbbing eye with my hand and sprawl out on the floor of her bedroom. I look up at her out of my good eye, and she's sitting up in the bed holding onto her head, scowling at me.

"You're such a bitch," she groans. She throws her covers off and gets out of bed, then heads straight for the bathroom.

"I think you gave me a black eye," I moan. She leaves the bathroom door open and sits down on the toilet.

"Good. You deserve it." She grabs the toilet paper and kicks the bathroom door shut with her foot. "You better have something good to tell me for waking me up. I was up all night packing." Taylor has never been a morning person, and from the looks of it, she's not an afternoon person, either. In all honesty, she's also not a night person. If I had to guess when her most pleasant time of day occurs, it's probably while she sleeps, which may be why she hates to wake up so much.
Taylor's sense of humor and straightforward personality are huge factors in why we get along so well. Peppy, fake girls annoy the hell out of me. I don't know that pep is even in Taylor's vocabulary. And fake? She's as straight shooting as they come, whether you want her to be or not. There isn't a fake thing about Taylor, other then her one coach wallet.
When she was fourteen and her parents told her they were moving to Texas from Maine, she rebelled by refusing to respond to her name. Her real name is Tessa Marie, so she would only answer to Taylor just to spite her parents for making her move. They still call her Tessa, but everyone else calls her Taylor. Just goes to show she's as stubborn as I am, which is one of the many reasons we're best friends.

"I think you'll be happy I woke you up." I pull myself up from the floor and onto her bed. "Something monumental happened today." Taylor opens the bathroom door and walks back to her bed. She lies down next to me and pulls the covers up over her head. She rolls away from me, fluffing her pillow with her hand until she gets comfortable.

"Let me guess...Katherine got cable?" I roll onto my side and scoot closer to her, wrapping my arm around her. I put my head on her pillow and spoon her.

"Guess again."

"You met someone at school today and now you're pregnant and getting married and I can't be a bridesmaid at your wedding because I'll be all the way across the damn world?"

"Close, but nope." I drum my fingers on her shoulder.

"Then what?" she says, irritated. I roll over onto my back and let out a deep sigh.

"I saw a guy at the store after school, and holy shit, Taylor. He was beautiful. Scary, but beautiful." Taylor immediately rolls over, managing to send an elbow straight into the same eye that she assaulted a few minutes ago.
