It was Monday morning and I was so tired I probably could of fallen asleep on my desk if I wasn't sat next to Armin. Yes, I had English first thing, which I guess is better than maths but I still would of rather had a lesson where I could just go to sleep in the back but I had English and I didn't want to fall asleep next to Armin. What if I looked ugly while I was sleeping? Perhaps I shouldn't of stayed up until two in the morning waiting for the new season of this show I love to release so I could binge it all to avoid spoilers.

As I walked into the classroom my half-open eyes widened when I saw Armin already sat in his seat, now I was always the late one. I sat down next to him which got him to lift his head from his phone (or maybe it was the fact class was starting but I like to believe it was me).

"Hey, so guess who's birthday it is this weekend."

"Miley Cyrus'."

"No. Well maybe I don't know when her birthday is BUT it's mine too."

"Oh really? I had no idea." which was actually a lie because I went to his birthday last year. It was a huge party at his mansion, it got wild quickly.

"Rude, but yeah I'm having a huge party, even bigger than the one last year so I was wondering if you'd wanna come to this one? It's the big one-eight."

"I went to the last one, and do you even know when my birthday is?"

"Why would I know that? I don't know, summer?"

"Yeah sure I can come, if my busy schedule permits of course."

"Ok well let me know or just show up."

"Cool. I'll try and be the-" I was halfway through that when the teacher shouted at Armin to get out for disturbing the lesson.

"Armin if you don't stop talking I'll have no choice but to ask you to leave my classroom."

"I don't wanna be in this boring class anyway, seriously man I'm about to fall asleep over here."

The whole class snickered and giggled under their breath except for me and the teacher who look enraged. Armin ended up getting sent to the principals office after he knocked his chair over purposely on the way out. He always had to escalate the situation which honestly kind of pissed me off because he had such a gift and was just wasting it. He had no idea how lucky he was to be so naturally smart, I would give anything to be smart like him. If I was his level of smart I would get straight A's, work hard, go to college, get a nice paying job so me and my dad could live comfortably. I guess that's the privilege of being rich though, You don't realise how lucky you are. He will always have  options, choices, back-up plans - average working folk like me and my dad get none of that. If he fails he can try again, if we fail we'll be working at McDonald's for the rest of our lives, praying we don't have a heart attack from all the fat consumption because we cant afford that type of hospital bill or any for a matter of fact. That's why I had to stick with Armin, try hard and I will succeed.

It had been a few days since Armin invited me to his birthday and tonight the party begun. I knew this night was going to be a blast because basically anyone over 16 in our town was coming to Armin's party tonight. I had only a few hours to prepare myself for the party and my top priority was to make heads turn. I wasn't looking for a boyfriend or anything, I was far too busy for that but a few compliments wouldn't hurt, maybe even a little hook-up. Even if I didn't have time for a boyfriend I was still 17, those hormones course throughout your body like electricity and boy was I charged up.
