There's nothing better than hearing your alarm go off at 7:00 in the morning. Such a great sound, if the sound was a person I would just punch it in the face and beat the crap out of it.

"Ugh" I sit up to grab my phone and turn off my alarm. Once I do I lay back down, stare at the ceiling and sigh. Oh how I wish I could just close my eyes and get another ten minutes of sleep. But I can't considering that was my third time turning off my alarm.

*buzz buzz*

I grab my phone to see a message from Jade.

"Bitch you better be up already we can't be late again !!!!" Eye roll.

"I'm up hoe. I'll pick you up in 30." I sent back.

I get out of bed and start my whole process of getting ready. Clothes, hair, makeup. I swear sometimes I hate being a girl but at the same time It has its advantages.

I get dressed, do my everyday makeup which consists of eyeliner and lashes, and put my hair in a messy ponytail.

I head to my little brothers room and see he's still passed out. Oli is 5 and I may be a bitch to the world and everyone but for this little man I'd do anything. Our dead beat mom left us 2 months after Oli was born. One minute she's here and the next she says she can't do this, this wasn't the life she wanted, blah blah blah.
She's dead to me for all I care.

Dad was hurt, the women he loved took off and abandoned her kids.
Once dad realized he can't take care of 2 kids, let alone an infant, he hired our nanny Heidi and got more invested in his job. Which means he's gone most of the time and by most I mean all the time.

I closed his bedroom door and head downstairs to the kitchen and sat down on the stool.

"Morning Heidi" I say as she sets down my food in front of me.

"Good Morning Len, you headed off to work?" She asks while putting food on her plate.

I nod. "Yeah, I'll be back by 4 hopefully."

She looks up at me and shakes her head.
"I still don't see why you work. You have money. Your dad sends you the money you need." I stare at her and sigh. Here we go again

"I work because I don't want to always depend on my dad." I start by saying. "I also don't want to be like those rich spoil brats who all they do is spend their parents money and act like they're all that" I roll my eyes and finish my food.

I put my plate in the sink and as I do I get a text message.

"Where tf are you!"
I look at Jades message and then look at the time.

"Fuck." I say while seeing it's 7:45. I head to the living room and grab my bag to leave. We seriously can't be late again. Last time our manager Sarah made us stay till closing and made us clean up the place.

We have a love/hate relationship with Sarah. She can be great at times, where she lets us leave early and she can be a pain in the ass when we fuck up.

Im outside and get in my beautiful Jeep that my dad gave me last year on my 17th birthday He gave it to me so I could hate him less but it only made me hate him more. I told him thanks but the car wasn't going to make up for him being absent. I mean he wasn't even here in person to give it to me, he just left a card inside and called to tell me happy birthday.
It's the exact same thing he did this year. The only difference was that he gave a Tesla.

I told him I didn't need it and to send it back but he insisted and it's in the garage. I honestly only use it when the girls and I go somewhere as a group.

I start driving to Jade's house to pick her up.

Jade and I have been best friends since 8th grade. And ever since then we've been giving this town hell. We were that duo, we did everything together. Whether that involved crimes or getting into all that sensitive shit girls do.

One day we were bored out of our minds and got really high and we somehow ended up applying for jobs, idk how or why tf but we got hired to one.
We now work at this thrift shop and we mainly got this job because we shop here anyways so might as well get discounts out of it. It's also not so bad, there's never a dull moment.

I get to Jade's house and start honking until she gets out.
It annoys tf out of her!!!!!! Which is why I do it.

"Shut the fuck up!" She yells from her front door. "You're gonna wake up the whole fucking neighborhood bitch. Then they're gonna hate me even more." She says laughing and I continue doing it until she opens the door.

"Finally." I say while she flicks me off. I roll my eyes and start to head out when I see her neighbor outside her house glaring at us.

" Good Morning Mrs. Lincoln." I smile at her. She glares at us one more time and goes back into her house and slams the door. I turn too Jade and we burst out laughing.

•••

We've been at the store for 5 hours now and the first 4 hours were hectic. I mean who tf shops so damn early in the morning. Seriously. Y'all fucking mental. Jade and I were now chilling at the cash register since there was no one here.

"Party at Dylan's tonight."  I tell her showing her my phone.

"Party at my place babe !! 8 o'clock. Be there. Don't worry about bringing anything!! I just need you. " She read the text and I rolled my eyes.

"I just need you." She mocks me. "But babe? Seriously?" She looks at me confused.

"Ugh. Don't even. We're not together." I tell her making myself clear.

"Make that clear with him love." I looked at her. Oh I have.

"So get ready at your place or mine?" I ask her.

"Yours." She says. " That way my parents don't question me and I can just stay at your house." I nod.

I dig into my pocket and pull out a cigarette.
"Text the girls and tell them we'll meet them there at 9." I tell here as I start going outside.

The girls consist of Abigail, Samantha, and Danielle. I met Abby and Sam freshman year and we met Danny last year. I was never great at making friends. I mean Jade and I became friends cuz we both hated this one girl in 8th grade and teamed up on her and got suspended. But with these 3 we just started talking and we've been hanging out ever since.

It was now 4 and we were at Jade's house. Since the store was going slow today Sarah let us leave an hour early.

Now I was helping Jade find something to wear cuz she can't freaking decide on something. I roam through her closet and pulled the perfect outfit and threw it at her face.

" We're gonna be matching today bitch." I smile at her as she holds her clothes to her chest.
"Now let's go." I tell her as I leave her room.

•••

It was now 7:30. Which means time to get ready. I look in my closet to find the matching shirt with Jade and my black leather skirt.
Not sure wearing leather at a house party was a great idea but honestly couldn't give two fucks.
I turn to show Jade my outfit and see she's already dressed.

"Holy fuck. Yes!" She yells.

Time to do our hair and makeup. Jade straightens her hair, while I do beach waves.

"Casual or go all out?" I ask her while holding two different pallets in my hand. I hold one up after the other as I wait on her to decide. She then gives me a smirk and points to the nude pallet. I wink at her and start doing my eyeshadow.

Once I was done I look in the mirror and holy fuck I look good. I did a simple nude eyeshadow and put my eyeliner and blended it out a bit and put on my signature red lipstick. Jade did her original look. Black eyeshadow and nude lipstick. We both looked hot af. Once we were done checking ourselves out, we go to my bedroom to grab our things to head out.

My phone starts ringing and I see it's Danny.

"Sup bitches." Danny yells through the phone.

"What's up." I ask putting her on speaker.

"We're on our way to Dylan's." She says.

"Okay we're about to leave. So who's the
designated driver this time?" I ask them all cuz I know I'm on speaker as well.

"Me." I hear Abby yell. " I don't plan on having a hangover at school tomorrow, thank you very much. I mean who ev-" I chuckle while Abby gets cut off.

"No one cares Abby." Sam tells her. While Jade laughs.

"Hey did you guys hear Xander King is back in town."  Sam tells us a bit too loudly. I roll my eyes and look at Jade so see her surprised.

"Who?" I ask. I'm confused. I regret saying that cuz now Jade is giving me the "are you fucking kidding me" look and I hear Sam, Danny, and Abby all talking through the phone.
What the fuck is going on.

"Tell me you're joking!" Jade yells and starts laughing. I look at her seriously.
"Oh fuck you're not." I shake my head.

"Len he's just— how do I explain this?" Sam asks the girls for help.
"He's basically the male version of you." Danny straight out says seeming annoyed of the topic as well. Girl I feel you.

"Yes! He's a bad boy. He's a player. He breaks the rules. He doesn't give a shit. No one dares to mess with him. And all the girls want him, and all the guys want to be him. You know. Yada yada." Jade tells me grinning like a lunatic. I hear Sam, Abby, and Danny all talking at the same time.

I laugh. "Bullshit." This is complete bullshit. They all start talking at the same time again.

" When did he get back? How do you know? Will he-" Is what Jade is asking. I zone her out and tell her let's go and go downstairs to tell Heidi we're leaving.

I walk into the living room to see her and Oli on the couch watching Toy Story and eating popcorn. Honestly seems like a better idea that going to a party on a Sunday night. I walk up to them and sit next to Oli.

"Are you guys heading out?" Heidi asks.
I nod and give Oli a kiss on the forehead.

"Love you little man" I tell him while cupping his cheeks.
"Oove you too Lenny"  he says while stuffing popcorn in his mouth. I get up and head to my car to see Jade already inside still on my phone.

Seriously who cares about this Xander guy. He ain't no Harry Styles so who gives a fuck. Male version my ass.
The whole ride was spent with them telling who he was but I turned up the music and they eventually stopped. But all I got was that he left mid freshman year? Don't know I don't remember no Xander. Then again I despise the male species. The only time I tolerate them is for my own amusement.

Finally we're here and as soon I park I grab my bag and tell Jade I need a drink ASAP. I jump out the car and start heading inside. All this Xander talk is giving me a headache. I have no idea who he is but one thing I know for sure is that my life will never be the same.

As I walk in Calvin Harris "Summer" is blasting throughout the house. I push everyone out of my way and head to the kitchen. As soon as I get there I'm greeted by Dylan holding me a shot. I smirk at him and grabbed it.

Let the night begin.
