Chapter 7
446 Words
I wake up Saturday morning ready to start the day fresh. I pull open the blinds and let the sunrays shine through the window. I play on my phone until like 8:30, then I decide to head downstairs. Once I enter the kitchen, I decide on oatmeal for breakfast. As I'm preparing my food, I get a text from Haley.
Hey girl! I'm coming over this afternoon, we are going to go shopping for this party tonight!
Party? Is she crazy?
What party? You know I hate social parties.
It's been 2 years! Please Mia, Joey invited me. I can't just go alone!
Why can't Joey just pick you up?
We he is hosting sooo
At this point, I knew I wouldn't win this argument.
Fine, I'll go, but I'm not making any promises I'll stay the whole night
YAY! ILYSM MIA! Picking you up at 2 for the mall
Sounds good
I put my now empty oatmeal bowl in the dishwasher, and I head back upstairs. I turn on the hot water, and hop in the shower.

After throwing on some sweatpants and a tank top, I go downstairs to wait for Haley. I hear a knock on the door, so I run over to open it.
"Hey Mia!" Ryan said. Alongside my brother was Logan.
"Hi Mia! Looking good, as always," Logan smirks and shoots me a wink.
I shake my head, and turn to Ryan, "Do you know about this party tonight?"
"Yeah! It's over at Joey's place, why? Are you finally going to one?"
"Uhm, yeah. I actually think ima go to this one."
"Wait, so you've never been to a high school party?" Logan asks in astonishment.
"Not since I was a sophomore."
"And you're a senior," he asks slowly. I nod.
"Why?"
"It's because her loser ex boyfriend freaked her out." Ryan angrily piped in.
"What?" Logan asks, now confused.
"It's nothing. It was in the past. It's all better now, I hope," I mumble the last part.
Ryan didn't catch the mumble, but Logan did. He shot me a worried glance. "Gotta go, Haley just rolled up," I say, wanting to get out of this now, awkward, conversation.
"Bye Mia, glad you'll be coming tonight!" Logan shouts as I scurry out the door.
"Bye guys! See ya later!" I shout as I get into the car. I shut the door as I greet Haley.
"Hey Mia! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for doing this!" She gushes.
"It's not a problem, whatever floats your boat floats mine."
"Ready to go get some clothes!"
"Yes! Let's roll!" I say as we find our way to the mall.
