Harlow's pov ;
I woke up to my annoying alarm called Gemma. Yes, she is my roommate and she is annoying. She literally woke me up by dumping a freaking bucket of ice water on me.
"I am up" I said in my morning voice.
"Get ready you have 15 minutes if you are even late by a minute your ride is pooff gone "she said.
"Ok devil now get out of my room before I dump you in the dustbin".
She left my room and I checked my clock to see its 4.40 am. Yes 4.40 am you might think 'I would have killed someone if they wake me at 4.40 in the morning', but we have gym and boxing class to attend to so we have to wake up early. I got ready and went out to see my roommate Gemma aka the devil waiting for me at the front door.
"You are 30 seconds late" she said.
I rolled my eyes for her childishness and said "Now shut up and start moving you idiot".
We both got out of the house she huffed and locked the door. We got in in the car and started driving towards the gym. Gym and boxing classes are in the same building so we don't have to travel much. Going to gym takes 10 mins to walk but since we are using Gemma's car it takes 3 mins to reach there. So, we reached the gym and started working out till 6 and then we went to boxing classes.
I actually met Gemma inn my boxing classes. Since I am so worried about approaching someone considering my past experiences, I didn't try to make friends but Gemma herself approached me. She was so lovely and kind. We became friends instantly. I was hesitant at first for asking her to share room with me. But I gained courage and asked her. She agreed instantly. I was so happy. From then we became inseparable. Gemma has only boxing classes to attend to. We both work at the same café but she works full time whereas I am a part time worker since I have university to attend to. I am currently doing a major in psychology. At the end of my course, I can start my career as a therapist and continue my boxing career at the same time. I am very thankful for having Gemma she is a lifesaver. She gives me ride back home when I have late shifts at the café.
So, we finish our boxing classes and then made our way towards our cute little apartment.
"So, Gemma I am free today evening since the café is closed today what shall we do?" I asked her while we are in the car making our way back.
"I was wondering about that too" she replied.
"How about having a movie night?" I suggested.
"We do that every Saturday night Harlow its boring" she replied.
"Strictly speaking miss no parties allowed. I have read a lot of books where all the trouble starts at a club. Ok then how about we go to a mall after I come from college and spend all our savings" I told.
Her face lightened up with this idea. whenever Gemma hears something she is fond of of her eyes twinkle like a star. Let me tell you Gemma is so so so pretty. She could be easily mistaken for a movie actor. She has an amazing height and body too. So, since Gemma liked my idea, she spoke up
"We can have a cheat day it's been so long "she said.
Wow a cheat day sounds so amazing. it's been ages since I had something junk in my system. I am really excited for today. Then I got an idea.
"MOVIE MARATHON"
"MOVIE MARATHON´ me and Gemma exclaimed at the same time.
"Harry Potter or Twilight" we both spoke at the same time again. We laughed hard at our obsession before we picked one we are in front of my room.
"We will select the movie later" I said and went inside my room to get ready for the university. I had a shower and got dressed in a black top and jeans and head out for college.
Finally, it felt like a long time but it's been only a few hours. My college is over and I'm a free bird foe the rest of the day. Gemma is waiting to pick me up as I got out of college.
I got in her car and we started driving towards the mall. Since its going to be winter and I love warm coats I am going to get them a lot. We went to many stores and bought many many I mean many things. We got summer dresses, coats, jeans, tops, sandals, heels, jewelry and almost everything available in the mall. We are spoiling over selves a lot and it's a very good thing. We saved some money to buy junk food. We had a lot of fun we almost got kicked out of a store for making a lot of noise. I am so happy that I got break after a long time and I have a friend to enjoy. this feels nice spending time with someone who cares about me. more like the only person who cares about me.
We finished our shopping and came near the car with our hands full of bags. Gemma opened the car door and we threw our bags in the backseat and lord the seats are filled with our shopping bags. I suddenly had the urge to thank gems for being there for me. Gems is her nickname. I went to her and hugged her real tight and whispered 'thanks gems' she might have understood and she hugged me back. She knew everything about my past, like everything. She knows how much having a friend means me to me. Gemma is more like a sister to me. I love her she is the first person I've ever loved. She broke the hug with a sad look on her face. Like she is going to miss me. That's the last thing she would cause she is stuck with me for the rest of her life so she doesn't have to worry about missing me.
We go to our apartment and took all the shopping bags inside. We carelessly threw them on our beds we will have a lot more. We go to living room with huge blankets.
"JUNKIE TIME" we shouted and ordered all the things we wanted to eat. We are surprised by the food that came. And we were surprised by the bill too. At the end of the day our living room is looking like a big buffet of junk food. There were everything pizzas, burgers, nuggets, tacos, wings, noodles and all kind of unhealthy food.
We decided to watch harry potter. All the movie I kept praising British guys. I even told her that I choose London because of British guys. We literally watched all the 8 films and its morning. We miraculously finished all the junk food. Good thing todays Sunday. We decided to sleep in. we went to our respective rooms without cleaning the mess we made in living room.
I forgot that my room is a huge mess too. My bed is full of shopping bags. I just pushed them aside and slept.
