Tia's POV

I woke up to the sound of my phone vibrating . I groan and answer it to hear Manuel's obnoxious voice through the phone .

" Guess what Tia . " he says quickly

" What that is so important that you decide to wake me up at three AM ?! " I screech

" I got a new case ! I named it Pumpkin ! " he explains . I smile and stay quiet as I plan his death . I was thinking I could slice his throat and use his intestines as a jump rope and use his feet and shove it down his throat . Yeah sounds good . I smile evilly and he speaks

" Uh Tia y-you okay ? " he whimpers and I start laughing like a idiot

" Oh Manuel I am more than OK . Please don't worry about me . Don't be surprised if I show up at your window with an axe and a body bag . " I smile and hang up . Teaches him right . I get up and walk to his mom's house which was just a few houses down from mine . I climb into his window which was slightly open and seen his lights on .

" Oh Manuel " I whisper in a deep voice

" M-mom? Is that y-you ...? " He stutters and shuffles under in his blanket

" Ah no no no it's the spider man " I use his weakness against him as he gasps

" I-I didn't mean to kill the daddy long legs ! He was trying to molest me ! " he screams

" Oh man up you fag . Its me Tia " I snort as he pops his head up

" T-Tia ? Look I-I got my case . His name is Pumpkin.. " he states nervously and I can see the sweat dripping down his forehead . I grin and pat his head .

" Just imagine me jump roping with your intestines and using your eyeballs as a tennis ball . Oh its okay you will feel nothing . Ole sunny boy " I grin like a psycho as he gulps and runs out of his room

" Hope he learned to never wake me up at 3 AM . " I mumble and hop out of his window

" Tia honey wake up .. its the pre dance before homecoming ! Everyone is invited ! " My mom shouts from down stairs . I quickly get up and hop into the shower . I rub the coconut and Shea shampoo all over my hair and wash my hair with conditioner and finally do a body wash . I hopped out in a hurry and put some lotion and started blow drying my hair . When I finished I did some lazy curls and scurried into my closet looking for an outfit . Its just for pictures . I grabbed my floral crop top and my long black skirt along with my white keds and black rose earrings . I snorted at how ridiculous I looked . But who cares . I didn't feel like using my car so I rang up Manuel .

" T-Tia look I-I'm sorry ! It was just in the m-moment "

" Yeah sure forgive you . But an you give me a ride to school ? Don't wanna mess up my hair "I say in a girly pip squeak voice and he laughs and says hes on his way . I grab a banana and quickly but some Nutella on it and eat it not long before I hear Manuel's familiar horn honk . I skip outside and hop down the steps and see him rubbing his bare arms in his car . It was pretty chilly in Florida around this time . I smile and knock on the frosty window while chattering . This hoodie wasn't enough . I quickly hop in as soon as he unlocks the door . I grin and mimic him

" T-Thanks bud . " I punch him lightly as he drives to Elise's house .

" She needed a ride also . She wanted to surprise Jacob " He snorts loudly and honks the horn . Elise walks out with a huge teddy bear and a tiny bag with hearts all over it .

" I am sorry . It's just it's our anniversary and I wanted to get him something " She grins widely as Manuel stares in awe at her effort for their anniversary . I snort and face forward
