School Day (part 1)

- Karlnap and mild cussing are in this chapter

George's POV -

My eyes flutter open to the sound of my phone alarm going off, my body not letting me move an inch. I'm pretty much covered in blankets, so my likelihood of getting out will probably be an issue. I let out a massive yawn as I turned my alarm off, my dark brown eyes automatically squinting at my phone screen, blinding me with its brightness. 

Just simply sitting up on my bed and gazing out the window makes me think it's way too early. It's very dark out with a hint of blue, and the June sky is clear except for a few scattered clouds. The streetlights are still on, and nobody is driving out on the roads yet. I let out a huge stretch, almost like a cat, as I'm now sprawled out on my bed. I guess I need to get up, or else I won't make it on time to catch my bus.

 As I climb out of bed, my feet meet the carpet flooring, making my way to the bathroom and turning on the lights. I grimaced and covered my eyes with my hand, since the fluorescent bathroom lights are so bright. I look into my reflection, looking at the reflection of the face of regret. 

I look so dull and exhausted, and my hair is all messy and tangled. I guess that's what I get for staying up until 2 am playing with my best friends Dream and Sapnap, playing hardcore Minecraft and trying to keep quiet while our parents slept. We couldn't help but let out a couple of laughs and screams that we hoped would go unnoticed, as we went completely silent, listening for shuffling or any sign of them potentially being awake.

My sister insisted on using the simple skincare that I had in my cabinet, cleansing my face with icy cold water. She told me that cold water can help wake me up, but I'm not sure if it actually does. As a result of the little sleep I got, my under eyes were very dark, and I didn't really want to look like a raccoon, so hopefully the cold water will help. 

After gently drying my face and applying some moisturizer, I brush my teeth and then start with my hair. I brush out my unkept, coffee-colored hair and add a tiny bit of hair oil to tame any frizz. I also used some of my sister's concealer under my eyes since they are so dark, tapping it in with my finger.

I look at my reflection again and see how much better I look now, compared to what I first started with. After getting out of the bathroom, I head towards my closet and grab a comfy black oversized sweater, a pair of dark-colored jeans with a few fashionable rips, and a pair of socks. Not only that, but I also spritzed a bit of warm vanilla-scented cologne on the back of my neck, chest, and wrists before heading down the stairs to my kitchen.

"Good morning George, make sure you eat something before you go." My mom sleepily said, her back leaned against the kitchen island. She held a special mug drinking her daily coffee and scrolling on her phone. "Don't worry, I'll grab something." I clarified as I grabbed an english muffin and some black tea with milk. Sometimes I'll make some mocha, but that's usually when I'm extremely tired. 

As I eat, I scroll through Tiktok and Twitter, nearly choking with laughter as I come across a hilarious tweet from Tommy. I have about 8 minutes until my bus comes, so I quickly finish putting things into my backpack, doing some last minute things to make myself look a bit better, and make my way back to the kitchen to fill up my water bottle.

"Bye George sweetie, make sure you turn in any missing assignments you have, and make sure you say hi to Clay and Sapnap for me." My mom smiled as I put on my black high top converse. "I will, love you!" I say, as I open the front door and make my way onto the sidewalk. I'm met with the cool morning air and the sun peeking its way into the sky, it's now filled with pinks, corals, and different shades of blue.

As I make it to my stop, I take the time to drink my water and pull out my airpods to listen to some music. As I press shuffle on my Spotify playlist, helium by Glass Animals begins playing. It reminds me of someone, that person being one of my friends I somehow caught feelings for..
