7:13 a.m.

28 December 2010

"Sonny, get up. We're gonna be late if you just lay there," Tawni whined while she pulled open my curtains forcing sunlight into the opening of my blanket.

"Tawn, you said that five minutes ago," I said, "and repeatedly before that," I mumbled to myself.

"Yeah, well, now it's even truer. Mr. Condor is going to be so mad, not that he gives a damn about So Random!"

Tawni has let me sleep over her house for the past week. I didn't want my mom to see me crying or hear my weeping in the middle of the night. At least with Tawni, she just ignores it and puts her iPod on full blast. This post-breakup sucks; I hate admitting that I actually miss Chad, but who wouldn't? He made me happy and now, I don't have him to keep me like that. I haven't even argued with him. For the past week, I've either aired him out or I gave up trying to talk to him. Whenever I try, I back down. But I have to get over him, and if not talking to him does that then I guess that's what I have to do.

"It's only 7. Don't worry; we don't start actually working til 10:30. Why are you in such a rush to leave?" I asked. Even though I was still half asleep, I got up and walked to the bathroom and started to brush my teeth.

"Well, becaaaauuuusse…" she started

"Arr oo gon oo inihh or senensse?" I tried asking.

"Huh?" Tawni is totally stalling; she knows what I said. We always mumble.

I spit out my toothpaste, "I said, 'Are you going to finish your sentence?' Don't act like you don't know what I said. So, seriously, why are we up so early?"

"Mkay, since you're so eager to know. I wanted to take you to get some fro-yo. I know this cool new place I was thinking about going to. It just opened. It's called 'Fro-Yo'," she didn't sound very sure but I could go for some yogurt.

"Fine, let's go," I came out of the bathroom and opened her closet. I pretty much moved into her house. "I just don't see why we have to go so early."

"Wait! I got your outfit ready, just meet me downstairs. I'm gonna put this weeks props into the car. Hurry," Tawni gave me a warning glance. But I must admit that I do take a while to get ready. How thoughtful of her to put together an outfit… a ridiculously adorable outfit! She put together a blousy white top with denim shorts and teal wedges. But, does she know it's winter? Oh well, it's not like it's snowing.

"Tawn, I'm ready. Love the outfit by the way. Ooh, love your outfit. I just wish it was summertime. But it kinda is in Condor Studios. Do they turn the heater up to sauna or something, it gets super hot." I'm walking down her spiral staircase which sometimes makes me dizzy, but I'd never tell her that.

"Well, I was just thinking that… maybe the yogurt place will have their heater on all the way too because the yogurts cold and the weather and… gas! I need to get gas. Let's go," Tawni seems really weird today. Or maybe she's always like this. Well, she did try to make her own hot cocoa out of her cocoa mocho cocoa.

"Are you coming?" I snapped back out of my head.

"Right, let's go." Tawni opened the door for me as I grabbed my clutch and shades and walked through the door but when I looked down, it was a little more than the 'Welcome' mat on the ground.

"What is this?"
