"MACI!"

Who the fuck is waking me up at...what time is it?

I grab my phone to see the time and it reads '6:00 am.'

I swear I will kill someone.

"Maci." I hear a voice sing. I recognize the voice as my best friend Liam.

"I hope you're not naked." He says and pushes open my door.

"Liam! What the actual fuck! We don't have school today!" I complain.

Me and Liam are graduating high school this year. Soon we're going to be sent out into the world to try to figure out what the hell we're doing with our lives.

Liam is almost as tall as my doorway, being 6'2. He folds his muscular arms across his chest just making them bulge more and look twice as big. His brown wavy hair almost falls over his bright emerald green eyes.

"It's time for our run tigger." Liam says and smiles revealing his perfectly white teeth.

Liam has called me tigger ever since grade school. We both liked Winnie and the Pooh so it just stuck with us.

"No. It's time for me to sleep and you to go the hell away." I say and pull my blankets over my eyes.

"Come onn." He sings. "Don't make me throw you over my shoulder." He threatens.

"Lee! I need sleep! All this beauty doesn't happen by staying up all night." I say.

"Of course not. It happens by makeup."

"Fuck off!" I say and throw a pillow at him.

"Come on tigger." He whines.

I throw myself off of my bed and onto my feet.

"I swear I will kill you one day." I tell Liam.

"I'll be waiting outside!" He says cheerfully.

Me and Liam has had a deal every since junior year that I would go on a run with him everyday. He got bored with doing it by himself so I was the next option.

I grab a pair of black running shorts and a white t shirt to wear for our run.

I am not prepared for this at all. I just wanted to sleep for hecks sake! I go to the middle of my room and pick up the pillow that I threw at Liam. Yes, I'm a neat freak. So what, sue me.

"Oh momma lookin fine this mornin." Liam says when I walk out of my house.

Liam is a little bit of a player, I'll admit.

"Shut up." I groan.

We try to walk a mile every morning. It's a lot to accomplish and I wouldn't do it at all if it wasn't for Liam.

"Race?" Liam smirks.

"Where to?"

He points to a fire hydrant a couple houses down.

"You're on." I smirk back.

"Ready? Set! Go!" He yells.

I take off and for a minute I thought I was doing good, but then Liam appeared beside me and soon enough he was ahead of me.

I swear baseball boys have it all. Especially the butt. I let my eyes trail down to his bubble butt that jiggles along with him.

Man that's hot.

"I win!" I cheekily smiles when he turns around.

"Ugh! You always win!" I complain.

"Because I'm just better than you."

"Stupid bitch ass." I mumble when I finally catch up to him.

"What's that?" He pretends he didn't hear me.

"I said stupid bitch ass!" I yell.

"No need to be so mean." He pouts.

"I'm sowwy did I hurt your feeling?" I say in a baby voice.

"Matter of fact you did."

"Well tough shit."

"It's so hot out here!" I whine after about 20 minutes.

We only have about 15 more minutes until we're home.

"You complain so much." Liam huffs.

"You're the one who makes me go on these things."

"I'm starting to have second thoughts." He says brushing his hair out of his eyes.

"Lee just carry meee!" I whine and hold my arms out for him.

"Hell no. You're not a baby, cmon."

"I'll just have to find a new best friend. One that will carry me."

"Fine!" He huffs. "Only a piggy back ride tho."

"Yay!!" I exclaim.

He bends down and I climb on his back. He wraps his arms around the back of my knees and picks me up on his back more.

"You're the best Lee." I say and pat his head.

"Yeah yeah." He huffs again.

He puts me down once we get closer to my house.

"So, what's the plans for today?" Liam asks.

"Catch up on the sleep you made me lose."

"You're such a baby."

"I don't know Lee. What are the plans for today?" I ask.

"You can't ask me the same question I asked you." He says with one eyebrow up.

"Yeah huh. I just did." I sass.

Liam's black, four door Ford F-350 is parked in our driveway, taking up half of it.

Most guys at our school drive big jacked up trucks that just make their egos bigger. They believe it helps them get more girls. And sadly it does.

"I'll meet you back here after I shower." Liam says while walking towards his truck.

"Good because you stink." I say and scrunch my nose.

"See ya in a minute tigger." He says and starts up his truck making a deep grunting noise.

The truck roars down the road as I walk in my two story house.

I live in a gated community full of rich petty people. If I had it my way I would live somewhere far off from here.

My parents are filthy rich and they hardly even do anything to make the money.

My dad is the towns governor; I guess he does quite a bit. My mom actually doesn't even work here. She works a couple towns over, making it a long drive to work and back.

I walk up our spiral stairs and into my abnormally big room. I walk over to my private bathroom and take a quick shower.

As I am getting my clothes on I hear Liam's truck pull back into my driveway.

I walk out to my balcony to yell at him for his truck being so damn loud.

"Maci!" I hear someone yell with the door closing behind them.

"Do you just barge in whenever you want?" I ask coming out of my room and leaning against the stairs railing.

"Pretty much." He says walking up the stairs.

He walks past me and into my room, plopping down on my bed.

He takes a deep breath in and smiles with his eyes closed.

"You smell like coconuts." He says sitting up and opening his eyes.

"You're so weird." I say.

"You smell like nuts." He says snorting.

"Really? Are you twelve or are you eighteen." I say rolling my eyes.

"I'm not sure anymore."

I walk over to my bed and sit beside him.

"We cant just sit in my bed all day." I complain.

"You know what else we could do in your bed?" He says winking at me.

"You make me want to smother you."

"You know you want me baby!" He says and smiles.

"Ew. You wish." I say and pretend gag.

He just looks at me and laughs.

"What are we gonna do?" I ask him again.

"Wanna to the mall? I've been meaning to get a new pair of shoes anyway." He explains.

"Sure why not." I say and walk over to my walk in closet.

"Get out." I say turning towards him.

"And miss the show? Nah I'm good." He says leaning up against my headboard.

"Lee now! Shoo!"

"Fine" He groans and shuts the door behind him.

I pick out a pair of ripped blue jeans and a white tank top. I grab my white Nikes to go along with it.

"Lee I'm ready." I say waking out of my room.

"Liam!" I say after I get no response.

I go downstairs into my ridiculously huge kitchen.

I find Liam in the pantry eating all of our cookies.

"Really?"

"I couldn't answer you with my mouth full." He says and stuffs another cookie in his mouth.

"Cmon Liam lets go. Put the cookies up."

He pouts out his bottom lip and puts the cookies back in our pantry.

I look at the floor underneath his feet and glare at him.

"Oh shit." He says looking at the crumbs on the ground.

He looks up with me with wide eyes and starts running around the island to get out of the kitchen.

"Liam I am going to kill you!" I say running after him.

"You can't catch meee!" He sings while running through the tv room.

"I swear you freaking baseball boys!" I say while chasing him up the stairs.

He runs in my room and into the bathroom while shutting the door behind him.

I jiggle the doorknob just to find out it's locked.

"Open the door dufus!" I yell while banging on the door.

"Your insults just keep getting worse." He says and laughs.

"Hmm what's in here?"

I hear him opening drawers looking through stuff. Not that I have anything bad in there but I'd rather him not go through my shit.

"Liam stop!"

"Your bathrooms boring." He says opening the bathroom door.

"No shit. It's a bathroom."

He walks past me and down the stairs into the living room.

"Can we go now?" I whine.

"Yep." He says popping the P.

He grabs his vape out of his pocket and takes a puff.

He hands it to me but I shake my head. I only vape sometimes; I don't want it to be a habit.

I hoist myself up into his lifted truck. His truck isn't as loud when you're inside of it.

The day he got his truck my house was the first place he came. My mom cussed him out for it being so loud and waking her up. "What the fuck is that damn noise?" I remember her saying. "Are you brain dead? Why the fuck is that truck so mother fucking loud?" She told Liam. His face went pale and that was the best day of my life. He took me out to eat after that and then we went to the park.

We arrive at the mall shortly. I jump out of his truck and make my way to the main entrance.

"What shoes are we looking for?" I ask him when we enter.

"Yeezys 350 v2." He smoothly says.

What the fuck are those? I mean I know what yeezys are but I thought there was only one of them.

"And they have those here?" I question.

"Nope."

"Then why the hell are we here?" I ask.

"You wanted something to do so here we are."

"Liam!" I hear someone squeal.

"Is it too late to run?" He asks me as his number one fan approaches him.

Kirsten has been attached to Liam since the ninth grade. She has brown straight her and beautiful blue eyes. And she happens to hate me. Can you even believe that?

Apparently her and Liam have a thing for each other and I'm in her way of it. Whoops.

"Hey Liam!" She says getting extremely close to my best friend.

"Hi Kirsten." Liam says incredibly bored and looking around the store.

"So I was thinking... my parents aren't gonna be home today so you would come over. Maybe even give me a ride in your truck." She says batting her eyelashes.

Can this bitch just shut up? I swear if I don't get some pizza in my system I will kill everyone in this mall; and that's a lot of people. Oh no, I think I'm getting hangry.

"Oh hey Maci. I didn't see you there." Kirsten says.

"Sure you didn't."

I'm quite a bitch sometimes. But damn this hoe deserves it.

She just shoots me a dirty look and keeps talking to Liam.

"Oh my god! Kirsten, is that Tanner making out with your best friend Laura?" I say in a 'omg' voice.

Tanner is another one of her obsessions. He also happens to be Liam's best friend. Kind of messed up if ya ask me.

"What? Where?" She says angrily.

I point to a random direction and she stomps off.

"Now we run." I say and take off in a random direction.

I see the sign for the pizza food court and run to it.

"Lunch is on you!" I call to Liam and go to the register.

"Sure why not." He rolls his eyes and comes up next to me.

I order two slices of pizza while Liam orders a salad and a water.

"Thanks for lunch Liam you're so sweet!"

"Anytime." He says in a flat voice.

"Do you have to work tomorrow?" He asks me.

I work as a barista at a coffee shop called 'all brewed up.'

"No, not tomorrow. Why?"

"Well my buddies are having a party and-." I cut him off.

"No. Nope." I say shaking my head.

"Oh come on! Live a little!!"

"A party is not living a little. It's gonna be full of drunk people and I always end up being center of attention because I either punched someone or someone's trying to sleep with me." I explain.

Both are true stories. Every party I go to there's always a drunk guy trying to get me in bed. The punching incident is because some hoe came up to me and told me I was an 'attention whore' and that I should lighten up on the lipo. It was totally justified.

"I remember that." He says laughing.

"Yeah so no." I tell Liam.

"Pleaseeee." He asks poking out his bottom lip.

"No." I say taking his water and getting a swig of it.

"Hey that's mine." He whines.

"Yeah, so?"

"Cmon tigger! I'll even be your body guard I promise nothing will happen!" He begs.

I look at him for a few seconds contemplating on what I should do.

"Fine." I finally give up.

"Yes! You're the best!" He says.

He gets up and comes over to my chair and opens his arms for me.

"Hug?" He asks.

I can never resist Liam's hugs. I stand up and walk into his arms. Liam towers over my 5'2 self. He squeezes me tightly then lets go of me.

"You're lucky I love you." I tell him.

After we eat we walk around the mall aimlessly. We finally decide to go back to his house to just lie around and watch tv.

We watch a couple of movies when I start to find myself tired. I lean over to Liam on the couch and put my head on his shoulder.

"Night tigger." He whispers as I fall asleep.
