"Amelia." I hear, as someone lightly shakes me.

Please whoever you are, go away. I am so tired that it will take up all my energy to just open my eyes.

"Amelia.." Then someone lightly taps my arm. Shocks.

I open my eyes to see Xavier sitting on the bed next to me, as he stares down at me with a smile. Is this a dream?

"What time is it?" I say, sitting up.

'"It's about 7:30. I'm going to be taking you home in about 20 minutes." He tells me, standing up.

I stand up as well, and I grab my phone.

Xavier and I walk, side by side, to Lucy's room. He opens the door after knocking and we see everyone still asleep. I go over and wake up Corbin and Chloe as he wakes up Lucy then Christine.

"Guys, we are leaving in about 20 minutes, so let's get our stuff together." I tell Corbin and Chloe.

Corbin, Chloe, and Christine are all very tired as well and we decide when we get back to my house, to just go back to sleep.

Xavier leaves and Lucy sits up from her bed. "Where did you go last night Amelia?"

"I had a bad dream and couldn't get back to sleep, so I went to the bathroom downstairs and Xavier came down to see who was awake and then walked me to his room." I tell them.

"YOU SLEPT IN THE SAME BED AS HIM" they all scream to me.

I blush and look away, "Nothing happened, it isn't a big deal guys."

"Sureeee" Christine says sarcastically.

We grab our bathing suits and towels from last night.

"Okay, I'll be back soon." Xavier tells his parents, who are sitting at the dinning room table drinking coffee, grabbing his car keys.

Lucy doesn't come since there would be no room in the car. I sit up front as Chloe, Corbin and Christine sit in the back.

"So you guys won't be back to school until Tuesday?" I ask Xavier.

"Most likely Wednesday, we probably will be driving home Tuesday." He tells me.

I don't really see them much at school anyways so it won't change my day that much with them not there, but it's still nice to see them in gym.

We drive to my house, listening to a random radio station. When we pull up, my house has the outdoor light on and mine and Christines car in the driveway.

"Thanks for the ride." We all say to Xavier as he just says "You're welcome."

He waits until we all get into the house to pull away, as I watch from the door.

"Hello Noelle!" I say, as she comes from the living room, wagging her tail. "I'm going to walk her real quickly."

I walk out the door with Noelle on her leash, and just walk her down the street. We have a fenced in backyard but I like to walk her sometimes when I'm in the mood.

I get back into the house, and the girls are already on the couches, asleep. I feed Noelle and refill her water bowl, lock the front door then I go to my own room. I leave the door open and then I lay down and fall asleep as well.

"Ameliaaaaaaaa! Dad's calling you!" I hear Chloe shout from downstairs, as I wake up and see that my dad is actually calling me.

"Hello?" I say, in a half sleep daze.

"Hello, just making sure you girls are all okay! How did the sleepover go?" My dad asks.

"Oh it was good, and yeah, we are fine. We are just waking up now." I tell him, sitting up from my bed to wake myself up more.

"Just waking up? Amelia it's 1 pm." My dad says, confused.

"Ugh, ya we stayed up pretty late and then we were dropped off early because they are going north for a few days." I tell him, as I then start to walk downstairs.

"Okay, well just get up and make sure you girls eat. Also you might have to go to the grocery store later today, since I didn't go before I left. I'll call you tonight. Love you!"

"Love you too." I tell him, then we both hang up.

I walk downstairs to see the girls still on their own couches, but now they are all awake and on their phones.

"Amelia, can we drop off Corbin in a hour?" Chloe asks, looking up from her phone.

"Yeah. When are you leaving Christine?" I ask her.

"Soon, my mom wanted me home at 12 so now she's a little pissed." Christine tells us.

"I'm going to go change, then we can go drop off Corbin." I tell the girls.

"I'm changing too." Chloe says, as Corbin and her walk to her room.

Christine follows me to my room. "We have to go Homecoming dress shopping soon."

"Girl I know! I'm thinking to do navy blue this year." I tell her, last year I did a dark purple and the year before that black.

"Okay, just tell me when you're free so we can go to the mall. Also next weekend we have to talk to Xavier and Blake about being our dates." She says.

"True, let's just hope Blair finds someone else to go with." I say.

I change into black leggings and a random t-shirt from a school event. "Anyways... have you started the essay for Lit yet?"

"Oh shit! Isn't that due tuesday?" Christine says, grabbing her phone.

"Yeah, I'm only 3 pages into it though."

"The fact Mrs. Matthews is making us write a 6 page essay on that shitty book is so pointless." Christine says angrily.

It is true, Christine and I's literature teacher is known for making students write long essays as a way to 'prep' us for the AP test.

We both walk downstairs and I grab my keys as she grabs hers as well from my hallway table. Corbin and Chloe are already outside by my car and I lock the door behind myself.

"Bye Christine." We all say, as she walks to her car. She then drives down the street and turns out of my neighborhood.

I unlock my car and we all get in. Chloe grabs the aux cord like she always does. We soon pull up to Corbins house.

"Bye Corbin." Chloe and I say as she gets out.

"Bye and thanks for the ride." She then walks to her front door.

"Let's go get lunch and then we have to go to Costco." I tell Chloe.

"Ooooh, let's go to Chipotle!" Chloe suggests.

"Okay." Chipotle isn't my favorite place to eat, but it isn't bad.

We drive to Chipotle, walk in, and order our food. We then sit down at a table near the back and start to eat. Chloe and I both got burrito bowls, the only thing we really ever get from here.

"Have you asked mom if we are going there for Thanksgiving this year?" Our mom usually has us for Thanksgiving and we then go to either our grandparents house or Jason's parents house.

"No not yet. To think of it, I haven't talked to her since the night before the first day of school a few weeks ago."

"Yeah me neither." Chloe says.

We usually talk to mom at least once a week, but I guess neither of us has had the actual time to sit down and video chat lately. It's sad if you think about it, not being that close to our mom, but since it's always been this way it isn't anything new to us.

"On another note, how's it going with you and Aidan?" I ask her.

Chloe starts to blush, "It's going good, we have a streak on snapchat and always text."

"Ask him to the Homecoming dance. It's only a few weeks away now." I tell her encouragingly.

I love Homecoming because of spirit week and the football game. Christine and I go to a lot of the football games with our friends and the games are even more exciting because we have a really good football team.

"We should have the boys and Lucy come to the game this friday with us. I'm pretty sure it's home and I know it's against Marymount High School."

"True we should. I'll see what Corbin is doing." She says.

We finish eating and then head to Costco. We didn't need much so it was a quick trip and then we went home.

*****
It was now 7 p.m. and I'm home alone. Chloe went out with her friends on the volleyball team to go see a movie and sleepover at one of the girls houses.

I asked Christine if she wanted to come over but her mom is still pretty mad about her being home late because that caused her to miss a doctors appointment she forgot about.

I'm currently in my living room, watching Bob's Burgers wrapped in a blanket as Noelle is at the end of the couch sleeping.

*Ring Ring Ring*

I see Zoe's name pop up on my phone.

"Hey." I say after answering.

"Girl, Nathan Becker is having a small get together and he wants you to come over." Zoe tells me, followed by her squeals.

"What do you mean he wants me to come?" Nathan Becker has never really said more than 10 words to me since I moved here.

"I mean, he's been asking me all night to make you come!"

"Ugh, Zoe I really don't want to go out tonight."

"Pleaseeee. You don't have to do anything, it's just a chill kick back anyways and your dad will never know you left your house." Zoe begs.

"Fine I'll come. Send me his address and I'll be there in about an hour." I tell her, getting off my warm, comfortable couch.

"I will. Text me when you get here." She says before hanging up.

I get up and jog up the steps to my room and go straight to my closet.

I end up wearing black leggings and then a lilac colored flowy tank top with a black bralette underneath. I slip on my black and white slip on vans and run down the steps.

I turn off the lights in my house except for the ones outside, and grab my wallet and keys from the hallway table. I walk to my car and look at my phone to see if Zoe texted me the address yet.

Instead of a text from Zoe, I see one from Xavier. "Hey, just wondering if you might want to go to the football game this friday?" And then the text underneath it said, "With everyone else I mean, not just you and I".

I text him back that I'll ask Christine and Chloe if they want to come. I don't bother to tell him that we were thinking of the same plan.

Zoe texts me a few minutes after with an address, "539 Sudlers Rd." I put it into the maps app on my phone and start the drive.

I turn on the radio and go to a station that plays pop music. I don't mind pop music, but it's not one of my favorites either.

I pull up to a two story house that's light blue. I park across from his house against a curb that isn't in front of someone else's house

I get out of my car and walk to the front door, texting Zoe that I'm here. I knock on the door and Nathan is the one to answer.

Nathan is about 6'1 and he has dirty blonde hair and brown eyes, he's well built and is the quarterback on our schools football team so he's also very popular. I'm still confused as to why he was asking Zoe if I would come tonight.

"Hey, I'm glad you made it!" He says, opening the door wider so I can walk in.

The inside of his house is not any different from my house. He has a hallway that leads to the kitchen, with a living room to the right and a staircase to the left.

"Hey and yeah Zoe called me and I had nothing else going on tonight." I tell him.

"Follow me, everyone's downstairs."

I follow him past his kitchen to the basement door and then down the steps. At the bottom of the steps I see a large, fully remodeled basement with a pool table, tv, and multiple couches.

"AMELIA!" Zoe screams from the couch closest to the tv.

I walk over to her and leave Nathan, who is currently talking to a guy named Matt.

Zoe pulls me down and I end up on the couch next to her. A girl named Anna is on my left who is currently talking to a boy on the soccer team.

"I see Nathan was the one to go answer the door..." Zoe says wiggling her eyebrows.

"Yeah well it is his house." I don't want to read too much into Nathan.

About an hour passes and all that has happened is everyone started to drink a little more and chill on the couches while we all talk. I have been glued to Zoe as she talks my ear off about how cute Nathans best friend is.

"Zoe! I get it! His butt is cute and plump." I lowkey snap at her.

Zoe rolls her eyes at me and then gets up to get another drink. I decided to not do anything tonight so I would be able to go home later. It is only 10 right now and more people start to show up changing it from a kick back to a party.

I scroll through Instagram as I wait for Zoe to come back and sit with me. I hear someone walking down the steps and I look up to see Blair at the bottom of the steps now.

She has her friends with her and they walk over to Nathan and start to talk to him. Suddenly they look right at me and I shift my eyes back down to my phone.

I feel someone sit next to me but thinking it's Zoe I don't look up immediately.

"Well look who showed up without her comfort friend." Blair says, causing my head to snap up.

"Comfort friend?" I say confused.

"Christine, the only person to be able to stand you for more than five minutes. I mean where is the friend you came with now? Oh yeah, over there talking to Daniel." She says, and I turn to see Zoe walking towards the pool table with Daniel, Nathans best friend.

"1. I can hang out with people other than Christine, and 2. Zoe can do whatever she wants." I say agitated. All I want to do now is go home and sleep, this party blows and the only person I'm really friends with is now hanging with other people.

"So, just to let you know Xavier and I patched things up last night. He called me in the middle of the night because one of Lucy's friends woke him up, says he misses me." She says, with a smirk.

"What? Now you two are dating again? Good for you." I don't think Xavier called her, he fell asleep before me and I don't remember waking up to him talking.

"Yup! And we are going to homecoming together so I hope to see you there with whoever takes pity on you!" She says smiling and walking away.

I decided now is not the time to deal with my emotions in front of everyone and leave.

"Hey, I'm going to go." I tell Zoe in her ear.

"Awww, okay" She says pouting.

"Amelia, you're leaving? This early?" Nathan says from one side of the pool table.

"Yeah, I'm just tired."

"Oh, well I'm having a little party next weekend too, you should come." He says.

"Sure." I say.

We all share our goodbyes and I walk up the stairs and walk out of the house to my car and drive home.

I lock the door behind me and pick up Noelle. I walk up the steps, and into my room throwing off all of my clothes and changing into cotton shorts and a random t shirt.

I don't think Xavier actually called Blair and if he did, he can do him. Nathan's cute so if Xavier wants Blair well then I'll have Nathan.

~~~~~
And I'm back! Honestly I don't know when I can actually write anymore because of school, work and marching band, I don't have time at the moment. I know I do want to finish this by August 2019, so I will most likely start to update more often!
