Later on that night Joe and I sat and watched a movie in the theater. Yes, they do have a theater, crazy right? Anyways I sat sideways, sprawled out within 2 or 3 different chairs and joe sat behind me doing the same thing. We were watching an amazing action movie, I just sat there in awe while all the action was happening, while Joe in back of me loved to cheer and yell at the screen. Joy. "Oh come on! I can do better than that!" Joe yelled " Punch him! Goddamnit hit him!" he always seemed like he got louder "Oh yeah! Burn!" he yelled loud "will you shut up?" I yelled back at him "powned!" He yelled louder, I sighed and got off the couch and left the room, Denise was sitting on the couch as I came down the hall, she laughed at me "is he annoying you?" I looked up at her "just a little, but its fine, I need to get to bed anyways" I responded "its only 9, do you always go to bed this early?" she asked "sometimes, but I'm trying to get in the habbit so I can wake up early and go for a jog" - "oh, you jog?" she smiled at me "no, but I'm trying to start" Denise laughed "alright, I'll see you in the morning sweetie. Goodnight" - "night" I responded back and went up to my room. I set my alarm for 5am, enough time to go for a jog and catch a shower before school. I was laying in bed for 20 minutes just thinking, letting my mind wander until I picked up a picture off the end table. It was my family, or what used to be my family. I stared at it, hoping that if I just keep looking at it, it'll bring them back. But that never works. I let a tear escape my eye and put the picture back down on the table "I love you" I whispered and dozed off to sleep.
The alarm beeped at 5 am, I groaned and shut it off, this is gonna take some serious getting used to. I hopped out of bed, put on some shorts and a loose fitting shirt before walking out of my bedroom "what the hell is going on?" joes voice was husky "I'm going for a jog" I said walking down the hallway "at 5am?" he groaned "yup, see you later" I opened the front door and began jogging. 40 minutes later I walked back into the house out of breath and sweaty, joe walked up to me plugging his nose "phew, someones a little stinky" he laughed "thats why I'm gonna take a shower, so if you'll excuse me" I said pushing him aside with my hand walking into my bathroom and taking a shower. I got out 20 minutes later and walked to the kitchen and sat down grabbing myself a bowl of cereal "goodmorning, how was your jog?" Denise asked "exhausting" she nodded "what time did you get up?" - "5am" joe blurted "how do I know? her alarm clock woke me up" he wined "oh, Im sorry joe. How about next time I put it on quiet" I spoke sarcastically and denise chuckled "shes got a point joe, if she needs to get up, shes got to have an alarm clock" - "thank you!" I spoke and smirked at joe. Knowing my teasing irritated him a little. I finished my breakfast and put it in the sink "well, I'm off to school" I said grabbing my backpack "school doesnt start for another 30 minutes!" Joe blurted "I know" - "then wait, I'll give you a ride when I leave" - "no thanks, I'm walking with sel, which is the reason I'm leaving 30 minutes before it even starts" I smiled at him and closed the door "that girl is such an early bird" Joe muttered and continued eating his cereal. I walked up to selena "hey miles, whats new?" - "absolutely nothing" I smiled and began walking with her.
Later on at school
Joe walked up to me when I was at my locker "whats with the teasing?" - "I don't know what you're talking about" I smiled at him "you know, the alarm on quiet thing, the not letting me drive you to school. You know, that stuff" - "first, I already told you, I walked with Sel this morning, second... thats not teasing, if I was teasing you... you'd know it" I smirked at him and walked off. All my friends were watching from down the hall, they all ran up to me "whats going on between you two?" chelsea smiled at me "nothing" - "lies" Debby blurted "I'm serious, theres nothing going on between us, I live with him now. Thats all" - "you live with him?" victoria almost yelled "shhh!" I hushed her "yes, the house got taken, we got an eviction notice. So they took me in. As you already know Chels, sel lives with you" Chelsea nodded "well what was with this morning? You seemed to have a flirty face on" Nicole asked "that wasn't a flirty face, joe asked me what was with me teasing him, but I wasn't, so I told him if I was teasing him, he'd know it" - "he totally likes you!" Victoria smiled at me "that's nice, cause I'm not interested" - "bullshit, I can see it in your eyes, you like him back" Chelsea nudged me "no, I really don't. If I'm gonna live with him I can't even think about a relationship with him" - "who said anything about a relationship?" Debby smiled "yeah, you guys can be friends with benefits" Nicole smiled too "not gonna happen guys. There isn't and never will be anything between me and Joe" I spoke and walked off to my classroom "they're so gonna get together" Victoria smiled "yup" everyone else agreed.
After school
Joe walked up to me "are you gonna let me give you a ride now?" - "what the heck is with you and wanting to give me a ride?" - "I don't know, just thought I'd be nice" I rolled my eyes "fine, if I let you give me a ride, will you shut up about it?" - "probably not" I groaned and began walking towards his car, he smirked and followed me.
