I slowly open my eyes. Seeing the light coming through my curtains. I turn over and reach my phone from the night stand. I turn on my phone and check the time. It was currently 8:44a.m. I check Twitter and saw the news about COVID-19. We all have to be quarantined. I was freaking out cuz this is a serious problem. I texted Franny and Nezza. They ended up finding out yesterday while I was in my room on the floor for awhile and didn't check my phone for hours. Great, so now I can't surprise the rest of my friends.

I definitely was taking this serious. I got out of bed and made my bed. Then headed to the bathroom and did my morning routine. Once I was done, I head to my room. I changed into some grey sweats and a T-shirt with my black vans. I grabbed my phone from my stand and head out to the kitchen. I decided to make breakfast for everyone. Made pancakes, scrambled eggs, and oatmeal. Once I was done, I saw Chelsey coming from upstairs. "Morning," she says with a yawn at the end. "Morning," I say back with a smile. Then Jc came into the dining area and sat down. "Did you guys know we all going to be in quarantine," I say. "Yeah since yesterday, we forgot to tell cuz we forgot you didn't know," He says. I let out an oh and sat down.

I started to eat my pancakes and spaced out. I was thinking to much lately. Corey and Crawford weren't awake yet. They love their sleep. Which I understand. But I decided to wake them up soon. Once I was done eating, I wash the plates. Jc and Chelsey left to the store to get some things before everything runs out. It is 10:36a.m. I head to Crawford's room. I knock on the door a couple times then I knock louder. He didn't answer so I open the door. "Wake up you lazy ass," I say loudly while laughing. He look at me like he didn't know who I was. "30 more minutes," he says. "Get your ass up we gotta go shopping for food and other stuff," I say.

I end up leaving Crawford's room and head upstairs to wake up Corey. I knock on his door then louder on the 5th time. Then open his door. "Wake up, it's getting late La Barrie," I say loudly. I see him get mad and covering himself even more. "Corey get your thick ass up, we gotta go shopping," I say jumping on his bed. He uncovers himself and let's out a loud annoying sigh. I got off his bed and left his room. I headed downs stairs to my room and change into some high waisted jeans. Then grab my purse and made sure I had my wallet in there. Then I close my door and sat on the couch as I waited for Corey and Crawford.

Around 11:10a.m, I finally see them coming out of their room. "Finally, you guys took for ever," I say with a sigh at the end. Corey grabs the keys and we headed out side. Once we reach the car, we all got in. I sat in the back seat and Crawford in the front. "Hey Daniel is coming with us cuz he also gotta buy some things," Crawford says. "Alright," I say back. As Corey drive to the Seavey brothers house, I spaced out again. I thought of telling Daniel how I feel but I didn't know when was the perfect timing. I was too scared.

Once we arrive to the Seavey brothers house, Crawford texted Daniel to come out. I saw the door open and it was Daniel. He reach to the car and open the back door. Once he open the door, he saw me and smile. "Hey," Daniel says. We all replied with hey back. I got nervous all of the sudden. As I was looking at my phone, in the corner of my eye I see Daniel staring at me. I didn't even have the guts to turn to him. I was just scared and god damn nervous. I really hated myself. Minutes later we finally arrive to Target.

As we got out of the car, I see Daniel walking towards my way. "So you're going to ignore me now," Daniel says with a sigh. "Why do you think that," I say back. "You can't even look at me," he says. I look at him as we walk into Target. "You know how awkward I get if I stare for to long and not say nothing," I say. I got a cart and we all started to walk to the food/snacks aisle. Crawford went to the drinks aisle and Corey went to the chips aisle. Me and Daniel went to the cleaning supplies aisle. I grabbed 10 Clorox Disinfecting Wipes, 6 bottles of hand sanitizer, 10 disinfecting spray bottles, 6 hand soap bottles, and 10 bags of toilet paper.
