"Cam! CAM!" I heard the yelling from my mother. It was the last day of sophomore year and I was praising god it's almost over. I roll and fall out of bed and I'm now currently on my floor, I could just stay here all day right? I crawl to my wall to help myself up, I lean against the wall and push up, yay first mini victory of the day. I take small step over to my closet to pick out a blush pink cropish-top (like you can see tummy but not a lot) with black leggings and black and white converse. I take my clothes across the hall into the bland bathroom, I turn on the light and instantly regret it, I squint till I can't even see anymore. I try to blindly walk to the shower and feel around to the handle and twist clockwise to release the water falling from the faucet. I turn around and lock to door so no surprises walk in. Now used to the light I look at myself, god I'm a mess my hair is tangled my makeup is smeared and I look down-right awful. Good thing someone invented makeup. Now fully undressed and happy with the temperature of the water I turn the faucet to make it come out the shower head, I step in and instantly feel like heaven with the warm drops on my skin.
I step out of the shower and a wall of cold air hits my steamy skin, I shiver, aching for a towel. I dry off my freshly shaven legs and work my way up. I twist the towel up my hair to wash my face, the sting tells you it's working. I dry off my face and untwist the towel to put on my clothes. I slip on my panties (if y'all make any nasty comment imma block yo ass) and leggings, I clip my bra on and pull the shirt over my head. Great, now for the hard part. I grasp the blow-dryer and hair brush and brush through my hair while blowing the dryer. Eventually my hair gets dry enough to put it into two Dutch braids. I put on a dash of concealer on my under-eyes and problem areas, I apply power, natural shadow, mascara, a touch of liner, and peach lipstick. Satisfied with my look I run down stairs and grab a muffin while putting on my shoes (skills ik)
My mom comes in laughing at me.
"Wow that's a sight"
"Hey multitasking is an art and I happen to be an artist"
"Ain't that the truth, anyway have a great last day, I'm going out to happy hour with Ruth so I won't be here when you get back"
"Okay sounds good, love you!"
"Love you too"
I just grab headphones and keys because no one was doing any real work so I decided it was a great choice. I slide the key into the car door and twist to unlock, I open the door and felt like opening an oven, I immediately twist the keys into the ignition to turn up the AC all the way. I let the car cool down to safe levels. I plug my phone in to the radio and blast my playlist to start the long drive to school, my mom wanted me to go to a school the next town over because it had a "better reputation" but my theory is because it cost much less money, this place was a shithole. The paint was peeled, bland walls, weed surrounding the air. Classic school. I don't really have friends and I'm okay with that because no friends equal no drama. I put on my headphones to silence the noise of school and walk to first period. Fabulous, the one teacher I hate gives us summer work.
----Fast forward
The last class ends and everyone is celebrating, papers flying, people screaming, everyone racing out the door. But then there's me, the average girl listening to music not giving two shits about school. I take my time getting to my car, i don't feel the need to rush like everyone else. I finally take the final few step to my car and feel a small victory for getting through another year. As I start the car I feel thirsty (if y'all make a nasty comment, your ass is getting blocked) so I decide to make a coffee stop on my way home. I pull up to the drive-thru coffee house I get my usual, a 3 pump decaf mocha, I wait for what feels like years until the barista calls my name. I pick up and sip my coffee and silently curse under my breath of how hot the drink is. I decide to let it cool down in the car, I ram up the AC anyway, I plug in my phones playlist and put it to the highest setting if you can't tell I absolutely love music. My coffee is now at a drinking level and I almost chug it (but I don't) I jam out to Halsey as I pull into my neighbourhood, I notice a moving van and figure its someone moving in for the summer, I brush it off until I see someone come around the corner of the van, damn that kid is easy to look at, eh he's to good for me anyway. I pull into my driveway and grab my now empty cup of coffee. I fiddle around with my keys until I find the right one. I push the key into the tiny slot and turn to unlock, the handle gives way and the door opens. I twist out the key and close the door behind me, I run up stairs to change into shorts and a tshirt, I settle on a plain maroon tee with jean shorts and throw my hair up in a bun, it's way to hot here. As I'm pulling the last stands of my hair into place I hear the echo of a knock on the front door, I run down the stairs and look through the blinds, it's the hot guy, "shit" I mumble, I look like crap. I cringe as I slowly open the door to greet the guest.
"Hi, I'm Ashton"
He said with a pure white smile, holy crap I've never done this what do I do? Okay Cam just tell him your name, you'll be fine.
"Cam"
I smile as I reach out my hand, he takes it and we shake hands for a couple seconds but to me it felt like .2 seconds.
"I've just moved in across the street and wanted to meet my new neighbour."
