*The next morning*
It's officially the first day of the rest of Calithea's life.
*Alarm goes off*
"Aaaarg!"
I painfully land on the floor during a failed attempt to turn off the alarm.
"Well...I'm up now."I groan.
I then stand up then belly flop onto my bed with my phone in my hand.
As I scroll through my notifications and timeline on the gram,I notice one thing most posts have all in common.
Everyone is posting party flyers.
It's a Saturday today so there are definitely going to be a few 'good riddance high school' parties.
I don't know if I'll be attending any of them.I'm not really into the whole,being around drunk and high reckless teenagers for too long thing.
The things I'm told happen at those parties make me cringe.
*Phone rings*
"Hey Mom."I cheer.
"Hi honey.Bad news,my business trip has been extended an entire month."
Surprise surprise.
Some things never change.
"A whole month!Did they say why?"I ask trying my best to mask my disappointment.
I don't think I'm doing much of a great job.
"No honey they didn't but don't worry okay?Danniel will check on you and make sure you're safe."
"I can take care of myself mom." I giggle.
"I know baby.I'll talk to you later okay?I love you."
"I love you more.Mwah."
*Call ended*
"Great."
I then decide to jump out of bed and wash up.
I'm going to be out of sweets soon so I need to restock.
Halfway into my shower session I realize I forgot my speaker and phone in my room.
I hate showering without music because I tend to overthink a lot in the shower.
Why did Danny tell me to stay away from Xavier?
It was weird of him to speak to me all of a sudden yes...but he was kind enough to take me home because it was raining.
There's more to this than what Danny is laying out and I will find out.
I then turn off the faucet and make my way back into my room.
After getting dressed I grab my mom's extra car keys and head downstairs for something to eat before I leave.
*Knock knock*
"Huh?"
Since when does Danniel knock?
"I'm coming!"
When I open the door I see Xavier standing there dressed similar to how I'm dressed and I can't help but smile.
When he notices,he eyes my outfit and returns the smile.
"Hi.What are you doing here?"
"What are you doing here?"He asks back.
"I live here."
We both laugh then he continues, "I believe you're holding my umbrella hostage..."
"Wow."I giggle.
"Can I come in...?"
"Of course.Of course."I move out of the way making room for him to walk in then close the door.
"Wait here."I then walk over to the location where I placed his umbrella then hand it to him.
"Thanks."He smiles.
"So you really came all this way just to get your umbrella...?I'm not buying that."I then fold my arms and squint my eyes.
"Fine you got me."He laughs.
*Door swings open*
"Hey Thea I was wondering if..."
Shit.
