Chapter 43
I shot up, WAIT, I forgot to tell Adam about the conversation I had with Willaim and my decision to tell Alex about our secret. Sigh, I'll tell him in the morning. I fell asleep again.
A few hours later, I heard someone slam the door, then I felt a heavily weighted thing land on my stomach, "Oof." I creaked open an eyelid, "Adam, what the heck? Stop jumping on me."
He poked my cheek, "I need help, I can't close my suitcase."
I pushed his face away from me, "What? Why are you packing?"
He slapped at my arm, "I'm packing for Alex's tour, we are going with him, and you know I can't pack the day before anything, so I'm packing now and I need your help with it."
I sighed and pulled my hand away from his face, "Fine, what time is it?" I looked at the clock, 6:49...ugh, it wasn't even seven yet.
Adam poked me again, "Are you going to help me or not?"
I pushed his hand away, "Yeah, I'll help, just give me a minute, I need to put on some pants and have breakfast."
Adam sighed, "Food, food is always on your mind."
I shrugged, "I need breakfast before helping you pack. It is a dangerous job, I could get lost in your closet for a couple of days without trying to."
Adam smacked the side of my head, "Shut up, my closet isn't that bad. Hump."
I mumbled, "Just keep telling yourself that."
He snapped his head around, "What did you say?"
Sheesh, you would think he was the one who got the periods instead of me, "Nothing, nothing." Please don't kill me before I've had breakfast.
Adam glared and told me to, "Hurry up and go eat, I'll be in my room." He stomped into his room.
I quickly put on my pants and walked into the kitchen. I grabbed cereal, milk, and a bowl. I poured cereal into the bowl and dumped in the milk. I put away the milk and grabbed a spoon, I shoved cereal into my mouth and finished within 5 minutes.
I washed my hands and quickly got to Adam's room, "I'm done, now, what do you need help with?"
Adam pointed to the suitcase near the bed, "That thing won't zip up. Ugh, help me, please."
I asked, "Can I sit on it this time?"
Adam shook his head, "Nope, you're pulling the zipper."
I sighed, "Adam-"
He glared at me, sigh, "Fine, I'll pull the zipper."
He sat down on the suitcase, I sat down in front of him, "Okay, use your hands to help me with making the space in between the zippers smaller."
I yanked on the zipper while Adam pushed the top down as much as he could, "Uuuggghhh."
When it finally started to zip up, my hands hurt from all the pulling, but finally, zzziipppp, the zipper went.
I flopped into the floor sighing, "Please tell me that was the only suitcase."
Adam shook his head, "Nope, two more to go."
I groaned, "Why do you need so many clothes? We're only going to be gone for a week."
Adam sighed, "I have makeup and wigs, too. Oh and 3 pairs of shoes."
I rolled my eyes, "Why do you need 3 pairs of shoes? Why not just 1? You said wigs, as in plural, why do you need more than 1 wig?"
Adam shook his head, "Fashion, because of fashion, Avery."
I muttered, "Fashion-smashion."
He flicked my forehead, "Get up, we have more work to do."
I dragged myself off the ground, "Ugh, fine."
We finished half a bag before Adam asked, "When is your next period?"
I paused, "Hmm, I don't know, I have it on my phone though, why?"
Adam rolled his eyes, sometimes, I wonder if he has ever seen his brains before with how much he rolls his eyes, "So you know if it will come during the trip."
I smacked my forehead, "Oh, I'm going to go check right now, be back in a sec." I dashed into my room and grabbed my phone, I typed in the password and check the app, it said my period will start in 2 days, ugh, crap.
I walked into Adams room, "The app says it will start in 2 days, what do I do?"
Adam nodded, "Okay, so why don't we just pack some pads in my bags? Alex thinks I'm a girl, so it wouldn't be weird for me to have them."
I nodded, yeah, that was a good idea, "Okay, yeah that works."
Adam pointed to the pile of clothes on the bed, "Now help me with this, I need to fold it and then zip up the suitcase."
The rest of the morning went on like this, Adam had breakfast and we went to school.
The school was the same as always, go to my locker, put my books in it, get to class, sit down, say hi to Mark, focus on class, walk to the 2nd period with Alex.
Go to the club room for the break, then get to biology, then after that, it was time for Language Arts.
Then lunch, I spent that at the club, French class, I talked to Luke when we finished the worksheet we had to do after the teacher gave the lecture, after saying goodbye to Luke, it was time for PE.
I quickly made it to the locker room, I grabbed my clothes and changed in the locker room as always. We did roll call and then warm-ups. After we did the long jump, I changed and went to the club.
So basically my typical day. Then it hit me, I forgot to tell Adam about the conversation with William and my decision again, ugh. Damn it, I keep on forgetting.
I texted him:
Me: Adam, I forgot to tell you something.
Adam: Wut?
Me: I had a conversation with William yesterday and forgot to tell you.
Adam: Okay?
Me: Well, after that conversation, I've decided I want to tell Alex the truth.
Adam: WHAT?! wHy? Are u crazy?
Me: Because I don't want to keep it a secret from him, it'll make me a bad friend.
Adam: Ugh, okay, will I be able to change your mind?
Me: nope.
Adam: Sigh, then you do what you want, just make sure he doesn't tell ANYONE else.
Me: Okay, I will.
Adam: Good.
Me: K, bye, see ya later.
Adam: See ya.
Not texting:
I put my phone away and walked into the club room, I waved to the people in there saying hi and greeting them.
Alex came up to me, "Hey Adam, ready for tomorrow?"
I nodded, "Yep, all I have to do is pack."
Alex nodded, "Good. Hey did you tell Shane?"
I shook my head, "No? Why?"
Alex shrugged, "I don't think he knows."
I bit my lip, "I'll tell him then."
Alex smiled, "Sure, practice with me after?"
I nodded, "Yep, definitely."
I walked over to Shane, "Hey dude, do you have time to talk?"
He looked over at me, "Yeah, sure, what's up?"
I told him about going with Alex on his tour. He nodded along with it all, "Okay, that's nice to hear, I guess."
I smiled, "Okay, that was all I needed to say, I'll let you practice now." I patted his shoulder.
Alex and I practiced until the club was over, I waved to my friends and got in the car.
I smiled, "Hey, Thomas. How has your day been?"
He smiled, "It has been good, Miss. directly home?"
I nodded, "Yeppers."
He smiled and started the car.
When we got to the apartment, I opened the door, "Hey Adam, I'm home."
He waved to me from the couch, "Welcome back. There is food in the fridge."
I walked into the kitchen and grabbed the food, Adam asked, "So, did you tell him?"
I swallowed my food, "Nope, I'm telling him when we're on the tour."
Adam nodded, "Okay."
I quickly ate my food and then took a shower, I walked into my room and face planted onto the bed, sigh, I love my bed, so soft and comfy.
I grabbed my kindle and read for a few hours, I got up to brush my teeth and say good night to Adam, I returned to my bed and read for another 2 hours, it was 10:29 PM when I fell asleep.
And thus, ended my day.
