A view from Liv

Okay so this is a continuation from my character Liv I wrote about a few weeks ago. I had to write from the narrative point of view so I wrote from the main character's of course. And to my dad: THIS IS NOT BASED ON A TRUE STORY! So don't freak out at the end.

Time had been going by unbearably slow today and Liv couldn’t stand it anymore. “Please just get me out of here, I have so much to do,” she kept thinking over and over. With 30 minutes still left in class, she decided her time would be better spent making a list of all the things she had to do this afternoon. Liv loved a list and in fact had gotten a book about list making for Christmas and had luckily remembered to grab it off her shelf before she walked to campus that day. As she pulled her book out and grabbed a pen to get started on her list her phone vibrated. “Gosh just what I need right now,” she thought as she picked it up to see what who it was. “Will you be home after class? Need to talk. Bad day” was all it read. It was from her best friend Kate who had been having boy drama lately. While Liv cared for Kate more than anyone else sometimes she was a bit much to handle. It seemed as though the whole revolved around her and Liv sometimes got tired of her always having to be the mentor Kate needed. “Yeah stop by and I’ll make mac and cheese,” Live responded with a feeling in the pit of her stomach like something wasn’t right this time. She pushed the thought out of her mind and for the rest of class continued making her list of things to do.
Liv rushed home as soon as class was over to meet Kate who was already at her house. Since Liv shared a house with three other girls there was always someone there and they had an open door policy for any one of their friends. It was obvious that Kate had been crying all day and as Liv put water on to boil and opened two cans of Diet Coke, she turned to her, “Ok, so tell me everything.” As Kate began to explain the boy drama of the day, Liv couldn’t help but have her mind elsewhere. She really didn’t have time for this today and just wanted to get started on her list of things to do. You see, Liv had a boyfriend and he was the love of her life. They had met the year before after they both had attended a career fair. She had noticed him from across the room but didn’t think anything of it, she noticed guys all the time. The guys she attracted where never the type of guy she could actually see herself with. Sure, they were fun for awhile but after that she just moved on. But Gage was different. Every time her phone went off she got butterflies when she noticed it was him. When they would make plans she changed her outfit four times because even after a year, she still wanted to impress him. Gage was The One, she just hadn’t accepted it yet.
As she got deeper into her thoughts, she realized that someone was saying her name, “Liv, LIV! Are you listening?” Crap, she’d totally blocked out Kate as she had gotten used to doing these days. She didn’t have the energy to hear the story again so she told Kate “I’m sure everything will work out like it usually does. You always freak out over nothing.” She saw the hurt in Kate’s eyes as she said this. She knew that she had messed up this time. What had she missed while she was thinking about Gage. Think Olivia, think. What had Kate said to her? Then it hit her like a ton of bricks, “Oh, my gosh. Did you just tell me you think you’re pregnant?” And before Kate could respond they were both in tears at the kitchen table and Liv was wondering how in the world they were going to get through is.
