The beeping of my phone alarm went off: 6:20 A.M. My head was spinning, my throat as dry as the Sahara Desert. God, is this what a hangover feels like?! I sat up, trying to regain the motivation to pull on leggings and my Nick Jonas shirt from last night.
Last night. Oh last night. If I could replay it over and over, I would. I've never felt more at peace myself than I was last night.
"Marie!!! Hurry up!!" I heard my mother screech down the hallway; 7:05 and we were stopping at Dunkin Donuts before school. SCHOOL THE MORNING AFTER A BADASS CONCERT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. I raced out of my room, pulling my grey Uggs on.
I approached my locker and Renee was standing there wearing leggings and her Nick shirt, too.
"We completely match. With the exception of shoes, but we both wore boots. Close enough!" She remarked.
"Here, take your coffee. I have to check my phone. I haven't since I fell asleep last night," I reached into my pocket, "Renee. He texted me twenty times!" I smiled.
"Really?! Saying??" She sipped her coffee.
"Everything ranging from how beautiful I am to goodnight," my phone buzzed, "he just texted me saying have a good day at school!!" I felt the heat rush into my cheeks.
The bell for my first period rang signifying class was going to begin. There was no teacher. Yes. That means we have a substitute meaning I can text Zach all hour. Double yes.
*Text to Zach*
Sub in first hour. Meaning this really is going to be an easy day and no work 😏😏
My phone buzzed on the desk.
*Text from Zach*
That's great! If I were you I probably would've skipped school. I'm developing major PCD and major PMD.
I read the text, smiling.
"Marie! Why are you so red?" My friend Nathan questioned.
"Ah, I'm just flustered and exhausted. I didn't get home from the concert till 1 this morning. It's rough right now okay" I sipped my coffee.
*Text to Zach*
Made the deal with my mom that I wouldn't miss today if I could go downtown tomorrow. So I think I'll survive 😏 BUT LITERALLY SAME. major PCD 😭😭😭
*Text from Zach*
Good deal. Can't wait to see you again 😊
As I read, the bell rung. Shit. I don't want to deal with anyone today, and going to Algebra II was going to kill me. My brain is just set on thinking about Zach and the concert.
I sat through all of my classes with just a blank face. I stopped replying to Zach the moment I walked into my Algebra class; however, I didn't stop thinking about him at all.
"Marie. Get your license already so we don't have to ride the bus anymore" Renee plopped down on the seat next to me.
"Honey I wish. I hate the bus so much" I pulled out my phone for the first time since like 9 this morning.
138 texts from Zach. Some girls may think of that as a turn off, but to me it is a turn on. He wants to talk to me.
*Text to Zach*
Sorry. I had to take like three tests today and my phone has no service in that hell hole.
I turned to Renee, "Did your mom say you could go?"
"Of course. I just have to have my sister drop me off at your house tonight because my dad left for work before I could get money from him. So I think you should just casually get off at my stop and come home and pick an outfit out for me to wear???" She stood up, and I followed.
