Jun was laying on the floor staring at the ceiling wondering if she should bother going into school. She'd gotten home a little late last night, and the house had no hot water. She dreaded the days of showering in the freezing cold, but what else did she expect. Her father was gone, so she had free reign. She had called last night to cancel all her shifts while her dad was away. She would use the free time to clean the home and get everything in order. She thought that maybe if she cleaned her mom would come and see she wasn't such a burden. She sat up slowly when her phone buzzed beside her. She picked it up and a smile spread across her face. Jun didn't think he'd actually text her or even associate with her after yesterday. She figured he'd think she was just wasting time and forget about the time they'd spent together.

Her fingers typed up a reply, and then quickly deleted it. She wanted to be careful not to scare him away. With pursed lips she finally figured out a reply. [i][b]I hope you slept well, Kenton. Can't wait to see you at school.[/b][/i] [b]Send.[/b]

She put the phone down and let out a small sigh. She would shower in the cold, and she would get herself together. She had to. She finally had a person in her life who talked to her. This was the first time a friend had ever texted her about something other than homework. She quickly stood up and made her way to the bathroom. She'd get through this day with just few hours of restless sleep if it meant talking to him again. He made her feel slightly normal, which was ironic since most people thought he was rather odd.
