Chapter 5

The next day I woke to the sound of Sam's ringtone going off continuously from my bedside table.

"Uggh..." I groaned, reaching over to grab the phone. "What?!" I said impatiently into the phone.

"Wow! Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed." Sam chuckled.

"What do you want Samuel?" I said grouchily, "I'm trying to sleep!"

"Well, dear friend, I was just calling to inform you that it is now..." he paused as if he were looking at the screen of his phone, " 7:30 and yet you're still not dressed." I glanced over at my alarm clock and swore under my breath.

"Crap! Sam, why didn’t you wake me sooner?!"

"I tried! I called you like 30 times this morning & I came in your room and tried to shake you awake. You, ma'am, are an abnormally heavy sleeper."

"Wait, you came to my house?"

"Yep." He said and I could almost see his grin through the phone.

"So where are you now?"

"Downstairs in your kitchen with your mom. Say hi Gene." He said to my mom.

"Hi sweetie," she said, "get moving or you'll be late."

"Oh and by the way," Sam again, "I hope you don’t mind, but she gave me your breakfast."

"Hey! Don’t you touch my food!"

"Too late!" He said before hanging up the phone.

By now it was 7:35 which meant I had about 15 minutes to shower and get dressed if I didn’t want to late. Personally, I didn’t care if I was late but if Sam was late one more time then he would get detention, so I was in a hurry. I finished getting dressed with a minute to spare though I didn’t have time to do my makeup at all. I planned on stopping at the bathroom to do so before going to class. I took two steps at a time and headed straight for the kitchen.

"Hi mom" I greeted her as she stood with her back to me at the stove. She turned to smile at me, her light brown hair swaying back and forth.

"Hi honey."

"You ready, Sammy-pooh?" I asked, swinging my backpack over my shoulder and turning to him.

"What did I say about calling me that?" Sam said as he walked over to me.

"Whatever!" I said opening the door. "Lets go. Later mom" I closed the door after Sam and we headed toward his car.

When we got to school, Sam went ahead to first period while I headed to the bathroom to put on my makeup. I told him to let our teacher know where I was so I wasn’t counted absent. I reached the bathroom just as final bell rang so naturally ten girls came running out. I set my stuff down at one of the mirrors and turned on the faucet. Cupping warm water in my hands, I splashed some on my face to wash away any dirt. My face dripping, I looked in the mirror and gasped.

"Lauren?" I said, grabbing a napkin to dry my face, "God, how long have you been standing there? You scared the hell out of me!"

"Oh I hope so." She said, putting her hands on her hips.
