(1 WEEK LATER)
Today was just like any other day. Except for the butterflies in my stomach which came at lunch when I walked to our lunch group. Hunter, Shaylee, and Jake were sitting at our usual table beside the window.
"Hey guys." I said casually sitting down at my seat beside my bestfriend Shaylee. Shaylee had dark brown hair, which she's keep in a braid since 2nd grade, and along with her flawless face she had sparkling green eyes.
"Hey Sar." Shaylee said taking a bite out of her hamburger. I made a disgusted face. "You know that's not real meat, right?" I asked. She laughed. "It may not be real but at least it's good." "Gross." I say picking up my apple and taking a bite out of it. Jake sits across from me, in front of Shaylee. I examine him. His eyes are blood shot along with dark bags under them, he looks like he hasn't slept in days. I made an effort to ignore it by talking to Hunter. "Hey are we going to your house tonight?" I ask him. "Yeah, my parents aren't going to be home though so I guess we won't have homemade brownies tonight." He chuckles. Lynette always catered us with sweets when we came over she was like our second mother. "Aww." Me, Shaylee, and Jake whined together. He gave a sympathetic look and patted my shoulder. I laughed.
After lunch we all had chemistry together. "Alright class, pass up your home work you had for last night." Mr Lowe said standing in front of the caulk board. "Damn it." Jake cursed. "What?" We all asked, our voices in sync together. "I forgot to do it." "Here." I say passing my sheet to him to copy. "Thanks Sar." He says wasting no time to start writing. I'm glad our table was in the back, Jake would have been in huge trouble with out it, Mr Lowe was very strict and he gave you detention when your assignments weren't turned in on time. Just as Jake finished Mr Lowe came to pick up the papers.
The rest of the day was pretty boring and the last bell ringing was music to my ears. "Class is dismissed you may now leave." Our teacher Mr Peters says. I go to my locker and get my backpack and sling it over my shoulder. Right as I shut my locker I see the brown headed boy leaned against the locker beside mine. "Hey Sar." He says. "Hi." I can't help but wonder about his sleep schedule. "How'd you sleep last night." I say trying to sound casual but my voice is probably full of concern. He sighs. "Not very good Sar." He says as we walk to the parking lot to meet up with our friends. "Is there something keeping you up?" I asked. "More like 'some one'. " He replies as we reach the parking lot. "If tonight you can't sleep, just call me." I say right before we reach Hunter and Shaylee. "Alright." He says with a small smile.
As we road down the road in the back of Hunters truck I tried to keep conversation with Shaylee because I was afraid if I talked to Jake id ask too much questions. "This is our jam!" Hunter yells from the cab of the truck cranking up the volume to You Belong With me by Taylor Swift. The three of us look at each other before belting out the lyrics. After the song ended we pulled up to Hunters house. Just like he said his parents weren't home. We all climbed out of the truck and made our way inside and being growing 17 year olds we all headed straight to the kitchen.
After studying for about 3 hours we all decided to stop. So I was sitting with my legs overlapping each other on the floor, Shaylee In the computer chair on the other side of the room and the boys were also on the floor, Hunter closest to me with a guitar strumming softly. "Let's order some pizza." Shaylee says. " I'm down with that." Jake says nodding his head. We all agree and 1 hour later we have 2 boxes of pizza sitting on the table. "We should have a movie night!" I say excitedly. We haven't had a movie night in forever. They all agree. 5 minutes later were all on the living room floor with blankets, pillows, pizza, sofa watching Lilo and Stitch. Best way to spend a Friday night If you ask me. We sit in a line with me on one end, Jake beside me, Shaylee beside him and Hunter at the other end. We watch the movie making short conversations. In about the middle of the movie Jake whispers to me. "Sar, I'm sleepy." He said softly. "Then go to sleep." I say back quietly. "No." He whines quietly. "I want to finish the movie." I laugh quietly. A couple minutes later his head is lying on my shoulder and his eyes are closed. When the credits roll Jakes still asleep on my shoulder. "Aww." Shaylee says referring to me and Jake. I blush. "You're gonna wake him up." I say. I look around and notice Hunters also asleep on the couch. Well it looks like we're having a sleep over. "I'm tierd." Shaylee says laying down on her pillow. Jakes already on the floor asleep. "Yeah me too." I say lying in between them.
