I started this a year or two ago so I figured why not continue it.

*ring, ring, ring*

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I looked at the caller ID and groaned. It was my mother calling like she does every morning.

She bought me an alarm clock the day I moved into my new apartment in Atlanta, Georgia.

Yet she calls me every morning for work at exactly 5:00 am sharp as if that's not the alarms job. You have to understand she lives alone all the way in Massechuetts, and I'm an only child which is why I understand why she does it.

I picked up the phone. "Ryan honey, you need to get up for work"

"Ok ma" I said groaning. "Oh and don't forget to get your hair trimmed" "Ok ma" I said as I was about to hang up.

"Oh an-" I cut her off.

"Goodbye ma" I said slightly annoyed and hung up.

I sat my phone down and sighed. Another good old day at work, I thought sarcastically.

I got up ready to start this dreadful Monday. I hopped in the shower. The warm water slowly but effectively waking me up.

After my shower I looked at my self in the mirror. My sky blue eyes staring back at me. I had ivory skin from working the office all day, Light brown hair with blond highlights I got from my mother, and a nicely toned six pack that girls couldn't get enough of. I smirked at the thought. I slipped on my suit then tie and glanced at the clock. It was already 6:00 and I needed to be outta the house by 6:15!

I quickly warmed up a bagel and slipped some cream cheese on it. I looked at it lovingly. You have to understand bagels are a beautiful creation that I can not get enough of. I looked at it one more time before taking a big bite and then ran out of my house in a hurry but not before locking the door. I slid into my car, buckled up and was ready to go until I realized. I forgot my phone! "Ugh" I groaned internally.

I ran all the way back into my house, got my phone, locked the door, and was back out into the car in a record time of 60 seconds, which may not be fast for others but I never claimed to be a track star.

I quickly got on the road and sped to work with thoughts of the bagel sandwich I was going to pick up for lunch.

I was in my office doing paper work when my cell phone rang which was weird because everyone knows to not call at work unless they're a client and in that case they would call me on the company phone.

I looked at the caller ID and saw it was unknown so I declined it. They called again so I decided to just answer.

"Hello" I answer questionably.

"Hey, it's Dustin"

Dustin's been my best friend since sophomore year in high school. He and I didn't start off very friendly though. We both liked the same girl in the year above us. Dustin and I had been fighting for her affection since the 7th grade. She was definitely out of our league but we didn't care. We were in love. Or so we thought. You see in our sophomore year she was what you would call... promiscuous; to say the very least. Apparently she contacted her fair share of std's and her attitude didn't help her cause. I guess we both realized that our dream girl wasn't exactly our dream girl but not before Dustin slept with her. Fucking idiot.

"Hey man why are you calling me while I'm at work?"

"Well... I need to ask you a teeny tiny favor." He said with hesitation clear in his voice.

"What's the favor?"

It suddenly got quiet. I looked at my phone to see if he hung up on me.

"Dustin?" I was getting annoyed.

"I'm still here." He whispered.

"What's the favor?" I was started to worry. What was going on?

"Will you go to Washington with me?" He asked.

"D.C.?"

"No. Come with me to Washington." He asked. His voice filled with hope.

"So let me get this straight. You want me-"

"Uh huh."

"To fly across the country with you-"

"Yep."

"Missing countless days of work."

"Well-" I cut him off.

"I could lose my job and all because of your stupid spur of the moment idea." I know it may seem like I'm a being a bit harsh, but it seems like he didn't think any of this through.

"And why do you even need to go Washington anyway?"

"Dude no need for the attitude. My boss is sending me to Seattle to clear up something with our competition."

And I guess I thought maybe my best friend would wanna come with me since he hasn't had time to hang out anymore. I guess I was wrong...." He sighed and I knew he was trying to make me feel guilty and he knew it was working.

I gave in begrudgingly. "Fine" I groaned. "Yes! I promise you won't regret this." He gave me the details and hung up.

Guess I'm going to Washington.

A/N: I think zoey 101 popped in my head when I named Dustin.
