Socially Awkward

Chapter Twenty Four

‘One more day!!!’ I screamed, waking Madison up.

‘What, it’s too early.’ She yawned before turning over and going back to sleep.

Okay then, I’ll explode on my own.

I couldn’t get over how much I had to do today. Pack a case, do all my tutor work and so much more. I don’t even think I’ll get to see Cody today.

*Insert sad face here*

I climbed over Madison and went to my bathroom. I quickly showered and packed most of my wash stuff, leaving my toothbrush for tonight and the morning.

I couldn’t put into words how excited I was. I got dressed and Madison finally emerged from her cave. 

‘Do you mind if I have a shower?’ She said, rubbing her eyes.

‘Sure, fresh towels are in the basket!’ I said, pointing to the woven basket in my bathroom.

‘Thanks!’ She said before closing the door.

I opened my laptop and I saw a message from Cody on my twitter.

‘FaceTime me babe? Xo’ It read.

I logged into FaceTime and saw Cody’s user name flash green. My laptop began making the annoying ringing sound that FaceTime makes. I clicked answer.

‘Hey baby!’ I laughed.

‘Hey, I need some help packing!’ He smiled.

‘How am I meant to do that when I’m here?’ I said jokingly.

‘Well, help me pick then!’ He said sarcastically.

‘Good. And I need help packing as well, seeing as I have no idea what to wear.’ I said.

For the next hour we both held things up to the camera and did a ‘yay or ney’ session. I couldn’t get my suitcase closed by the end but after sitting Madison on it holding a couple of telephone directories, it closed.

‘Okay, I better go babe, got a ton of tutor work to do! See you tomorrow! I’m so excited!’ I beamed.

‘Speak to you later honey!’ He said, before logging out.

‘I better go, or my mum will get mad! Thanks for letting me stay, and see you next week! Have an amazing time Lexi!’ Madison said before giving me a huge hug.

‘Thank you and I will!’ I smiled.

‘What is the average of… blah blah blah.’

With my tutor work done, I decided to venture downstairs and get some brunch, seeing as it was 11 am. My mum was sat organizing some scripts from the acting course the day before.

‘Morning sweetie!’ Mum said, before burying her head back into the piles of paper.

‘Morning.’ I smiled, scanning the breakfast cupboard for the appropriate breakfast snack. Oh my gosh I should start a cooking show, I’m going to apply that to my things to do list.

Done. Get in.

‘And apply the milk to the cereal in the appropriate quantity, do not apply to much, you will end up with a bowl of shredded wheatpaste.’ I own this stuff.

The next time I looked at the clock it was 2pm, I have no idea what I did to kill three hours. I ran upstairs to make sure I had everything. I also tested the weight of my suitcase and it turned out, I couldn't lift it off the ground. Brilliant. I fought with the zip to open the suitcase again and it practically exploded. I searched for my smaller suitcase and transferred some stuff to this, seeing as I could have up to three suitcases.
