Ring, ring, RING! Shit. That's my alarm clock. "VALERIE!!!!" Even shittier that's my Mom. Maybe she won't mind if I sleep in a few extra minutes. "VALERIE!! I MEAN it!" Nope. She minds "Ok, mom I coming" I say as I run a comb through my pink hair and quickly put it in Space Buns brush my teeth and run to the kitchen. My mom is almost out the door by the time I get there. She kisses the top of my head and says: "Bye Val I love you" "Love you too" I respond as she shuts the apartment door. I scarf down breakfast and head out.

I'm waiting for my friend Noah. Noah, as always is right on time."Hey" he says "Hi" he looks tired. "I left my inhaler at your house on Saturday" he says "I know, I have it" I put his inhaler out of my front pocket. He gives me a smile and says "Thanks" "No prob dude" I say back. He pulls out a blueberry muffin and gives me half. "Did you get the guts to ask Asher?" I ask through bites. "What do YOU think?" I stuff the rest of my half in my mouth "No" he sighs "We are Juniors Val! And I have NEVER had a date!" I roll my eyes "If you would just get the guts to ask Asher, this wouldn't be a problem" He sighed "I know I know" "Ask him! TODAY!" Noah gives me a LOOK and says: "Maybe I will" Then the bus stopped by my house
