I hate alarms. I hate the annoying rings they make. The only reason I was up before mine was because of the continuous knock on the door. I groggily sat up in vain because I immediately fell down to the floor. Jason and Sophia had left last night saying that they still needed to pack for the vacation at our house. Well, Jason said that. It was then, that my alarm clock decided to go off, surprising me and making me bash my head on my bead frame. The knocker was still going on with a steady beat of knocking. Did I mention I hate alarm clocks?

I stood up, furious, "That's it!" I roared, storming out of my bed room, sliding down the stairs and yanking the door open only to come face to face with a familiar signature smirk. Jason."I see that someone's happy to see me." Only responding with a growl, I started to slam the door close but was stopped by a pair of light blue converses. That little- "Now, now princess, you can't escape me that easily. I could literally feel the smirk on his face as he opened the door. Once the door was fully open and once I was fully glaring, he stood there smirking at me in his ripped jeans and mused hair that looked like he had just gotten out of bed. He probably had. 

"Did I ever tell you that you look nice in your pyjamas?" 

I sighed, "What do you want?" 

He spread his arms grinning, "To see my favourite neighbour of course. Is that a crime?" His grin widened when I raised my eyebrows, "I'm here for my vacation so let me in."

I put on my thoughtful face before getting an amazing idea. "Of course." He looked confused at my kindness but it looked shocked after my hand connected with his jaw. My hand stung a bit. Damn those high cheekbones. Recovering quickly though, I made way fr him to  come through. Walking like he was in a trance, he entered, muttering something under his breath. I blew a kiss to the back of his head and left the doorway, giggling like a school girl.

When I got to my room, I had a few messages from an unknown number.

Unknown: Hi

Unknown: It's me

Unknown: Sophia Allison

Unknown: Asked your parents for your number when I first met them

I saved her number and replied.

Me: Cool, you coming over?

Her reply was instant.

Sophia: I'll be over around lunch.

Sophia: I've got an ice skating rink waiting to be danced on

I loved ice skating, it was the first thing that I learnt all by myself. Unlike martial arts or any type of sport that Josh taught me, it was a skill that I developed all by myself. I had come a long way from 

Me: Can I come

Sophia: You skate?

Me: Don't believe me just watch

Sophia: I'll see you there.

I frowned and started to freak out. What if she regretted it later?  what if she didn't like me? What if-

Ding! 

New text message. I looked at my phone and scrunched my eyebrows: Blocked number.

Trust yourself, you've survived a lot. You will survive this.

This time, Instead of pondering, I smiled.
