I wake up and roll over to see my little brother snoring, mouth open drooling on my favorite pillow, a PuffPower Gals Pillow with Dandelion (The best one out of the three) on it. “Oh, my days, Dom wake up! Why are you in here?!” I yell at Dom, and he wakes up startled.
“Uh-Uh Umm sorry sis! I had a bad dream, a monster ate you and I was really sad.” He says upset
“Awww bud you alright? That sounds scary, it’s okay I’m right here aight? Nothing will ever happen to me.” I say in a small tone
“Kay love you, sis.” He says, falling back to sleep snoring gently.
I get up and go downstairs to the kitchen and boil the kettle for a cup of coffee. Mum comes down and asks “Can you make me a coffee too?”
I look at her with my most disapproving look “Yeah... Sure.” I sigh loudly to show my annoyance.
The kettle finishes boiling, I grab two cups and pour a coffee for me and Mum then sit down at the table and open my phone to see ten texts from my best friend Kat asking if I can meet up at 7:00 “shit.” I say under my breath I check the time, it’s 6:59. I jump up and run upstairs to my room and get changed, forgetting to get some socks. I run and grab my car keys, Mum stops me “Where do you think you’re going?” She says giving me ‘the look’ that all parents seem to know “To Kat’s place it’s urgent apparently.” I say rolling my eyes “Could just be a plan to get me out” I say laughing to myself.

“Fine, be back before 5:00 okay? We’re going to the uniform shop. We need to get you some shoes, yours are a wee bit scuffed.” she says sternly standing with her hands on her hips “And don’t be stupid aight?” She looks at me knowing I need this reminder.
When I’m with Kat -I do admit- I’ve been somewhat stupid. My first time drinking was with her last month and last year we got high together -and with no regrets- we had our first kiss together. That's how I found out that I liked girls. Mum found out a month later when we talked about it and she walked in, luckily she doesn’t judge me.
“Okay bye mum! Love you, I’ll try not to be stupid!” I say before I run to my car (A beat-up 1999 Honda Civic) and start it up the engine starts up with no luck “fuck! Why won’t you work? Piece of shit.” I try once more and it turns on, the radio blasts some crappy remix of a song that I don’t know. I slap the mute button and the song cuts out, and the engine takes over revving loudly every time I hit the accelerator pedal.
I get to Kat’s without my car breaking down (surprisingly) I run up to her door, my feet hitting the ground hard, tearing up some grass with each step. By the time I’m at her door, I’m out of breath and panting, barely able to knock on the door. After I knock on the door Kat is there flinging the door open the hinges crying as it hits the wall, her parents would’ve killed her if they had seen that. “Holy shit I’ve got tea!” she yells at me in her usual excited self
“Oh my god, what's the ‘tea’?” I say looking at her and rolling my eyes in annoyance but also trying to sound enthusiastic.
I could’ve stayed home I thought she got assaulted, raped, or (with great surprise) lost her virginity, but no it’s ‘tea’. “Come in Ilsa please, it's really important!” She looks at me.
It's important to her, I want to make her ‘tea’ important but I can’t “It’s way too early for this, fuck me” I chuckle. She grabs my arm and pulls me in just about dislocating it in the process.
