The Bucket List
Name: Alex Garrison.
Date: December 20
My bucket list:
1- Make the list
"Oh that's great, genius." My best friend Spencer says.
"Shut up." I snap.
2- Be sassier.
"My God if that were a thing..."
I shoot him a look and continue the page.
3- Have sex
An awkward silence is in the air.
"Not with you." I say, and he nods. "Okay."
*ahem*
4- Get a tattoo of a quote
"A Fall Out Boy quote, of course." I say, pointing to my endless collection of CDs and posters.
"Of course. And not our band. You know. Panic! at the Disco."
I smile smugly. "Right."
5- Have a boyfriend.
6- My first kiss
7- have a baby
8- Go to a Fall Out Boy concert.
9- Date a member
"Write a member of the band. Not member."
"Why?" I ask.
He sighs, "I read to much smut on wattpad."
I giggle and change it.
9- Date a member of Fall Out Boy
"Better."
10- Write letters to Juliet
11- sing with Fall Out Boy
"Geezus. Fall out Boy much?!"
"Shut up." I giggle and look over at my poster of soul punk Patrick Stump.
12- meet Patrick Stump
"
Are you kidding me?"
"No. What did I say?"
".....shut up...."
13- Be nicer to people
I give him a death stare before he says anything.
After a while I come up with a little over 30 things for my list. I'll add more later
(Check back here in case you get confused. I'll just add them on)
"What are you gonna start with?"
"Dating a member."
He gives me a look.
"Of Fall Out Boy....no cause I'd have to meet Patrick first. OK, so Patrick, then date."
I crumble the first paper and start over:

December 21
"Time to get up, Tina you fat lard."
"Shut the frig up, Spence."
"Working on number two, or are you really like this?" Spencer sits on top of me in the bed and bounces up and down like a friggin 5 year old.
"....A little bit of both. Now get up, I can't breathe."
He stands up suddenly, and immediately crashes on the floor. I laugh.
"You aren't Panic! At The Disco! You're Fall Down Boy!!!"
"Oh ha ha."
I swear I lost it all.
"It's not that funny, Alex."
Tears are rolling down.
"Alex, Stop."
I'm gonna pee.
"It's not funny anymore," He sings, "No, it's not."
That's when I have to run to the bathroom, pull my pants down and pee.
Rule one: Never make someone who just woke up laugh. (They have a ton of pee stored up in there for hours #fyi #tmi)
Spencer knocks on the door. "You OK?"
"Yes! I just need you to stop being sassy."
"OK." He says simply.
"Oh why can't the world be like you."
He chuckles and then I don't hear him. After a minute or so, I check and see if he's there.
"You still there, Spence?"
"Yep."
"Uh, you can go now." *bladder shy* *bladder shy*
"Why, can't you wee while I'm here?"
"Darnnit, Spencer! You know I'm bladder shy." I whine, "Please go away I've gotta peeeeee."
"Fine, fine, I'm gone."
I hear foot steps and a door close.
He left my room.
I let go of the pee I was holding in and glorious heaven yes.
I know, I know.

After I wash my hands, I get dressed in a T-shirt that says "This ain't a scene it's a Gah Dah Ahs race", black skinny jeans, a Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco and Sleeping with Sirens bracelets.
I exit the bathroom, to see Spencer waiting for me in the living room.
"Wanna go to Hot Topic?"
"Yeah. Then I can ask about getting a job. Kill two birds with one stone." Good thing I tucked my brown journal with my bucket list in my purse.
"What do you have against birds?" Spence asks.
I roll my eyes. "Let's go." We get into his red pick up truck and I get buckled.
"Hey, you know what?" He asks me as he pulls out of the driveway of my house.
"What?"
"You can check being sassier off of the list."
I roll my eyes.
"You've proved your point. Check it off." Spencer says, pulling out of the neighbourhood.
I open my journal to the next bucket item.
2- Be sassier √
