"Emily wake up before you make us late for Mass," my loving mother yelled from the kitchen. I swear she loves Mass more than me.
I sluggishly got out of my warm comfy bed and walked to the bathroom, took a quick shower before mum burst my eardrums with her yelling. I quickly dressed in a hot pink skater dress that ended a few inches above my knees,wore my favorite silver sneakers,put my hair in a ponytail and rushed to the dining room with my phone. Guess who I found in her pajamas drinking coffee with my sister Isa that is right my mom.
"Really mum I thought we were gonna be late for Mass ," I said air quoting the late.
Isa just laughed at me, "sorry siz we just wanted to make you hurry."
I glared at them and poured myself a glass of milk, sat at the dining table checking my phone for any new messages. I had like ten from my best friend Hayden most of them really stupid.
HAYDEN:Em do you think I should dye my hair red.
HAYDEN:I can't find my lucky pencil 😭
HAYDEN:Are you free after mass?
ME:Sure why?
HAYDEN:Did you forget we have to go play a prank on the principal. I'll be waiting at his house.
ME:okay I'll be there will everyone else be there?
HAYDEN:Nope did you forget it was our thing on the first of every month.
ME: kk .
And that was pretty much all we chatted about. Hayden has been my best friend since I was eight we've done tons of stupid stuff together. Actually we began the idea of pranking the principal in our freshman year that is two years ago yet as junior we still do that. We even promised to be like Peter Pan and never grow up which explains why my mum calls me childish and I still believe in fairies and secretly hope I'll be one. What!? A girl can dream.
After like twenty minutes mum was done and so was Isa.
We walked to the elevator and then out of the lobby to the chapel.
I loved going for Mass mostly 'cause I got to spend time with mum and Isa and also Mass for some reason relaxed me.
We got to the church and as usual we sat at the middle pew where it was warm and cozy. I won't bore you with the details but it was normal. As soon as mass ended mum  and Isa went to see the priest in his office and I waited for everyone to leave the chapel as I prayed. After making the sign of the cross I began walking out of the chapel when I saw a guy about my age his head on the pew and he was sobbing! So I did what any normal kind-hearted Christian would do and walked over sat next to him and tapped his shoulder.
"Hey is everything okay?" I asked.
Way to go Emily his eyes are red and his cheeks tear-stained he's obviously not okay. I mentally slapped myself I'm so stupid at times.
As he looked at me his green eyes seemed sad and I felt bad I had walked into a private moment.
So I just got up and said "I'm sorry I'll just leave"
I walked out of the chapel not knowing where to exactly but I just walked cursing myself for wearing a dress and not having a jacket in the November coldness. I felt someone walk beside me I turned to face the mystery guy who was looking right ahead.
"Uhm so do you wanna grab a bite?"I asked I'm so awkward I thought.
He didn't turn to face me but he nodded and kept looking ahead as we walked. Ah weird and I'm the queen of weird so trust me when I say he's weird.
