Disjointed

I pulled up in front of my house and smiled as Austin pulled up in front of his a few moments later. I waited in the car for a few seconds, just to make sure we would run into eachother.

"Hey Austin!" I said. I grabbed my backpack out of my car and walked closer to him. He looked exhausted.

"Do you want to do chemistry today?" I asked, already knowing the answer.

"No..." He said, running a hand through his hair. "I'm really tired and I have piano tonight. Maybe at lunch?"

"Okay!" I said, then turned away before he could see the smile drop off my face. We hadn't had a study session in weeks. Normally this would be fine, but Austin had got a job and so now we never hung out.

"Bye Lila!" He called before going into his house.

"Bye Austin!" But he didn't hear me. I was too far away.

I trudged into my house and sat down on my bed. I needed to write an essay, but I didn't feel like it. I knew I wasn't gonna end up finishing it until midnight no matter how much I tried to finish it now. I collapsed.

Why did I take so many hard courses? I barely was keeping up with my homework, let alone having any semblance of a social life. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and texted Austin.

"I need memes."

He responded immediately. "Here ya go."

I smiled.
