I rolled off my bed and slipped on my slippers. I headed straight to the bathroom and did my business. I stood in front of the mirror, debating if I should brush my teeth now, or after I've eaten breakfast.

As I stared at myself in the mirror, I noticed my necklace, I grabbed it and looked at it through the mirror,

Who got me this? I thought to myself.

I shrugged that question away and walked downstairs, bumping into my dad as I turned the corner,

"Oh, sorry. I didn't see you." He apologized,

"No, it's okay, I'm fine." I reassured him. He flashed me a cheesy smile and kissed my forehead before leaving to work.

The smell of bacon pulled me out of my thoughts, I headed straight into the kitchen,

"Good morning, Mommy!" I greeted my mom with a kiss to the cheek,

"Good Morning Honey, why aren't you changed yet?"

"I'll change after I eat, I don't want to dirty my clothes." She smiled and filled my plate with the breakfast she made.

She handed me my plate and sat with me, "Cute necklace, did your boyfriend give it to you?" She asked me,

I scoffed, "I don't have a boyfriend mom, you should know that. I thought you gave it to me."

"Hm, I probably did. Now hurry up, I'm taking you to school."

Pushing open the doors, I walked into the school. I got that same feeling I had the other night; the feeling of forgetting something. I shrugged it off as Scott walked up to me,

"Hey, how are you?" He asked me,

"I'm good?" I questioned,

"Can I walk you to your locker?" He asked me, I looked at him suspiciously but then allowed him too.

I put in the combination to my locker but it wouldn't open, it was stuck,

"Oh come on!" I re-entered the combination but it still wouldn't budge. I watched as Scott hit the locker and it flew open,

"Wow. I could have done that, you know."

"Then why didn't you?" He teased, I rolled my eyes at him.

"When did you get that necklace?" He asked me, I looked at him, "Did Theo give it to you?" I sighed and closed my locker,

"No, I think mom gave it to me but I can't remember."

"It's nice"

"Thanks, I just wish Theo was here to see it."

"You might hate me for this, but I think he's better off dead."

"Scott!" I exclaimed and punched him, earning a few stares from people in the hall,

"I'm kidding!" He defended himself. The bell rang,

"Are you 100% fine?" He asked me, I smiled happily,

"Scott, I'm fine."
