my eyes jump open. the sunlight shines into my eyes, forcing me to wake up properly. something seems different today, it would be different.

i smell the air, it smelt like nature and gardens. the fresh air was perfect. i uncover the blankets, my body getting colder after being under my blankets. my bare feet press against the floor, and i sigh in relief. today was a new day, not like yesterday or the day before..

it was going to be different.
____________
i check the time and see my reflection first, my hair knotty from sleeping. but, it was 6:47am. i had never really woken up this early. i had my alarm set for 7:00am straight. i had to be at school early today, it was the first day of this term.

i grab my hair brush from the bed side table, brushing it through my knots. my hair was becoming greasy and needed to be washed. i'll leave it for tomorrow. i think to myself, still brushing through my hair.

my hair was a chocolate brown, it had curls mostly on the ends.
it had streaks of dirty blonde highlights that were also curly. i swoosh my hair around, making it have more volume.

i open the door to my bathroom and grab my clear white lipgloss, dabbing it on. after i put some lipgloss on, i grab my mascara, swiping it on. making sure there was no big clumps. i wipe off the excess with a cotton bud. i hear a knock at my door then a voice.

"ace, are you up?" my mom says using my nick name and opening the door slightly. "yeah! bathroom." i call out, grabbing my toothbrush and the toothpaste. the door creeks open and i hear loud footsteps coming to the bathroom door.  "honey breakfast is ready." "already!?" i say almost dropping my toothbrush. "yes acelynn, i've been up since 4 o'clock this morning, now get ready and come eat."

i sigh, dabbing on some minty paste onto my toothbrush and i wet it slightly with some water. i start brushing my teeth in a circular motion. i scroll on my phone, spitting into the sink after about 30 seconds, again and again.
after about two minutes i finish brushing my teeth and i rinse my minty mouth with some tap water. i wash out the sink with water, cleaning it enough that it wasn't dirty anymore.
____________
i go through my drawers and closet, looking for an appropriate outfit for school. since it was 12th grade. i grab a blue and white checkered vest and a plain white shirt for underneath. i grab my folded jeans and place them on the bed.

i take off my pyjama top, putting on a bra and the shirt then the vest. next i take off my pyjama pants, throwing them into my laundry basket in the corner of my room. i grab a new pair of panties, they were white and laced.

i put my legs through the pant holes, pulling up the jeans fabric. the outfit was cropped and showed my curves. i reach over to the hooks on my wall, grabbing a white tote bag. i throw it on my shoulder, putting in my phone, purse, keys and etc.

i walk down the stairs one by one, going down to get breakfast. my mom was sitting at the table on her phone, she was 35 which meant she had me when she was 16. i was older than 16 now, 19 to be exact. i don't think she regretted it.
i sit on the chair, grabbing the piece of toast with pb&j on it. i bite into the delicious breakfast, taking a sip of my milk after the bite.
____________
after there was nothing left on my plate, i had the last sip of milk and grabbed my keys from my bag. "bye, i'm heading out to school now." i kiss her forehead. it was 7:34am now and i had to be at school by 8. "bye hon." she says blowing a kiss when i'm at the door.

i turn the keys into the car and the car starts with a growl, of course. i turn the car into reverse and back out, hoping i wouldn't crash into another car. i turn around making sure there was no cars coming and i start driving on the road.
____________
the school appeared in the distance. i saw the black spiked gates and the gateway was open, for cars to drive in. obviously. i stop the car as i get a park, it was rare to get a park sometimes so i was lucky.

i turn off the car, letting it cool down in the car park. i get out and start walking inside the front office desk, doing my role call. we used to have a class for it, but it changed last month. "ACEEEE!" bailey screams in the distance of the hallway.

"BAYBAY!" i say using her new nick name i made on the last day of last term. "hey!" she giggles and hugs me. "oh my god, i missed you so much!" i say hugging her tightly. i smiles and so does she, pulling of off our hug. "hey, elio is in our class this term!" she says, sounding really excited. "ohh! really?" i ask a bit quieter. "yeah!" i giggle and grab my phone to text my mom.

me: i'm at school now, don't call or text until 3pm :)
mom: okay honey

"hey girls." a familiar deep voice comes up behind us. elio. "hey babe" he turns bailey around and kisses her. i giggle. "hey elio, i missed you!" i say lovingly. "missed you too ace." he hugs me and i hug him back. he was always so warm to people.

i pull off his warm body, putting away my phone back in my bag. he brushes his hair with his hand and wraps his arms around bailey's waist. i sigh. "i have class soon! better get going" i smile and forget something. bailey and elio laugh. "we have the same class, lets go together." bailey says, holding elio's hand.

i couldn't take it..

"uh, i need to go to the bathroom. meet you at class." i say heading left into the ladies bathroom.
as i'm in the cubicle, i sit down on the closed toilet lid. i grab my makeup bag and touch up my mascara making sure it was perfect. i open the door and flush just so people don't be weirded out by me.

i walk out of the bathroom, heading to class.
"hey guys." i whisper to elio and bailey sitting the row in front of me.
____________
after what seemed like a full day of school, it was finally over. i catch up with bailey and to my surprise, elio wasn't actually with her for once. i smile and greet her. "hello baybay" i say pinching her hand slightly. "oh hey acelynn" she says in a weird tone. "whats wrong bailey?" i say stopping her.

"nothing.." she pauses "elio had a little accident in soccer.." i frown. "i-is he okay?" i stutter, trying to find the right words. "well, yeah i think so." she says rubbing her arm. i hug her. "i'm so sorry bailey.." i say hugging tighter.

"lets go home. come to mine?" i ask, forgetting to text my mom. "sure, i caught the bus so you can drive me." she smiles, making herself happier. "okay lets go." i smile back and push the keys into the car once again.
