I wake up on the floor, rather than my bed.
I sighed.
What happened yesterday, though?
It must have been a dream, right?
There's no way. No.
I mean, even if it was a dream, why would I be dreaming of her and I going out?
There's no way MacKenzie Hollister and I are dating.
I mean, we both like Brandon, so how did we get into a relationship?...Whatever.
I arrive at school relatively earlier than I originally did before.
I sigh and open my locker door, only to be surprised by a note that said:
Nikki, we have to talk to you!!
Come to the janitor's closet ASAP.
(Latest 7:15!!)
Better come quick!
Chloe and Zoey ♡☺︎I check my phone.
7:10 a.m.I go down the hallway, looking for the usual place we go to hang out in secret, when I see Chloe peeking through the door and whisper-shouting to tell me to hurry.
I rush towards the closet and I close the door of it.
"What happened?" I ask.
"So, we heard that MacKenzie-" Zoey started to speak
"Is having a birthday party!!" Chloe finished.
Zoey gave her a look and she sighed."Anyways, you must have heard, right? Didn't she tell you yesterday? You know, when you went to her house?" Zoey asked me, confused by how I looked.
So it wasn't a dream? It was...real? It isn't a sick joke, right? I mean, there's no way all of them are cooperating like this to just pull a prank on me.
"No, she didn't tell me that. Now I feel really bad for forgetting her birthday... Anyways, the bell is going to ring soon, bye guys."
I step out of the tiny space carefully, leaving Chloe and Zoey as confused as I was.
As I walk to my first period class, English, I see Brandon walking from the front door of the school.
"Hey, Brandon," I wave towards him.
Wait, how am I just...
Talking to him normally? It's not like I lost feelings for him or whatever, I just don't feel like I'm liking him as more than friends..?
"Hey Nikki! Where's MacKenzie? Is she later than usual? Hmm..that's odd. We can walk- Nikki, are you okay?"
I must have looked like I was sick because of the concerned tone in Brandon's voice.
It just...doesn't make sense!
I mean...
If her and I were originally pretty close, then I wouldn't be overthinking all of this, but it just doesn't add up."I'm okay. See you after class," I say back to him.
No point worrying about something that wouldn't be fixed, I guess.
Luckily, MacKenzie wasn't in this class, so I wasn't too self conscious, but I was still a little nervous if I meet her in he hallways after class.
"...The homework for today is pages 41-51, read through..."
Class ends and everyone heads out the door.
I see Chloe and Zoey stand outside, waiting for me.I walk up to them.
"We're gonna talk, Ms. Maxwell," they said almost in sync.
