I walk into school and to my first class when I pass the science lab and see Pheobe asleep while her poor partner does all the work.
I get to my class and sit in my usual seat while opening my backpack and pulling out my books and stationary.
~•~
My last class finally ends so I put all my stuff in my backpack and walk out of the class.
As I'm walking through the halls, I hear an immediately recognizable voice calling my name from a distance. I turn around and Pheobe is at the other end of the hallway, jogging towards me while waving.
"Hey! What time are we leaving?" She asks as she stops beside me.
When my parents divorced, my dad moved to a house on the beach so me and Elijah stayed there every summer with him. It used to be super fun when we were kids but now it's just boring without any friends so I take Pheobe and Elijah takes his best friend Declan.
I've known Declan since I was 3 and he was 4, we used to be close but eventually grew apart. I dont really know how we got to hating eachother, but it's been like that for a while now. Sometimes I just miss him, and not his present self - His child self. The one that cheered me up when I was sad, defended me when people were mean, the one that made me genuinely happy.
"We can leave at anytime we want, just as long as we're in time for dinner." I answer as we walk outside and towards her car.

"Are you bringing Koda again?" She asks me while she tries to get out of her tight parking spot.
"Yeah, are you bringing Turmeric?"
"Mhm, oh are we stopping by your house first or mine?"
"Let's go to yours first, I dont really mind." I say while turning on the radio and 'Pocketful of Sunshine' comes on.
~•~
We walk into her house and run up to her room.
"Do you think I'm missing anything?" She asks me while she unzips her bag and looks around inside of it.
"No it looks fine, and even if you do forget something - we can just share." I say picking the cat carrier up and opening it.
"Turmeric!" Pheobe calls and shortly after, Turmeric runs up to her and sits at her feet while letting out a soft meow.
I pick her up and put her in the cat carrier while opening Pheobes door.
"Ready?" She asks.
"Mhm!"
We walk downstairs and outside, back to her car. I get inside the car and put Turmeric in my lap while Pheebs drives to my house so we can grab my bag and Koda.
