Faith-Chapter1

I turn on my radio and the spokesperson sings out "Kesha's new hit! Up next!" The moment he calls it, the song plays out. I plot backwards onto my bed, then grab my notebook and pen. Crossing my legs, I lean forwards and rest my head on my hands. I tap my pen against my chin as I think about what to write. The melody plays in my head as I lose concentration. Im zoned out. My phone rings and I jump and the vibration on my lap. Before reading the screen, I know who it is. Jason. My best friend since grade 2.
I flip open my cell phone and swing it up to my ear. I speak in a soft tone trying to hide my excitement, " Hello?" I ask, acting like Im not sure who it is, but clearly, I do.
"Hey Mick! How are you doing?" I smile at his nick name for me. I have always preferred Mick over Micayla. It has always just seemed more, 'me'. "Are we still on for 10(AM)?"
I looked at my clock and silently cussed under my breath. It was 9:08AM! It takes me almost an hour to get ready! But what can you expect form a 14 year old teenage girl? It takes me almost 20 minutes to pick and out on the outfit Im wearing. Then the other 20 is finding the right shade of lip gloss. I am always wearing lip gloss. I find that eye makeup makes pimples easily. But well I have never really researched it so dont take that advise. And I also need to get my hair ready. But thats typical me. Slow.
"Yeah," I tried to sound calm. Although I was for surely NOT calm. It takes me forever to get ready! Its not like Im trying to show off, but Jason is cute. I shook my head. No, I cant think like that. Jason is my best friend, and I dont want to ruin our friendship.
"I will meet you at the bus stop!" I hung up without another word.

In about 40 minutes I was ready and dressed in a black Aeropostal sweater, white cotton jeans and my long tongue shoes. My hair was tied back in a bun and I had slipped lipgloss across my lips. I was out the door in a flash.
