Lexie, and Tara are sitting on my bed as Mia is sitting on the white chair by the corner of my room. I take a seat by Tara, and sigh.

I'm going to Gabriel's house for dinner. No matter how many times I think about it, I'd still be going. I don't have to, but I told Gabriel I would. Now, why would I say something like that?

"You're going to Gabriel's house?!" They exclaim, and all stand up.

I said that aloud, whoops? "Yeah." I'm a little cautious about how much they heard, or if that's all.

"Do you want me to drive you there? Uh, do you even want to go? You can stay home."

"It's across the street, and yes. I do want to go." I hop off the railing, and stand up.

"Don't you think your outfit is a little too much? Why don't you go out on some sweatpants, and a turtleneck?"

"No, I'm leaving. Tell dad I said bye. And don't worry, I have my pills in my pocket, just in case." I say, as I close the front door once I'm out.
