"Free huh?" I asked peering over the stuffed animal's head at the now visibly nervous man.
"Of course not, your friend here won it," The man says his voice dripping with warmth, I nearly gagged.
I turn my head to look back at Triston, nodding my hea...

I stare at the books in my locker intently trying to figure out why everyone wanted to date me all of a sudden. We had just had assembly like we do every Monday, it consisted of announcements, singing the school song, and reciting the school pledge, then after the teachers had left the prefects gave their stupid announcements, I didn't really pay attention.
But with assembly now finally over I could now walk around freely without my blazer. It now hung on a hanger in my locker to the left of my school books. I had moved my Cancer sign pin from my blazer to my half jersey, right above the school crest on my right. It was mandatory to wear your sign pin at all times while in uniform, for identification.
I had my black backpack on the linoleum floor in front of me ready to be filled with the books and stationery I would need for my first four periods. My normal school day would usually go like this, I wake up at 4:30 am to shower and get ready for school, I wake up thirty minutes earlier to shower than the wake-up bell to avoid everyone else. I usually take about an hour to get ready.
Then after I'm dressed I go down to the common room and play games on my phone until Cora comes to get me for breakfast which is at 6:30 am. Breakfast ends at 7:00 am when we have assemblies on Mondays, they usually take up to thirty minutes give or take.
Then it's homeroom from 7:40 am to 8:00 am. There Mr. Donahue takes attendance and then asks us how our classes are going or if we need help with anything, he's basically a guidance counselor of sorts. Then from 8:00 am lessons actually start. There are eight periods in a day, with four periods before our break and then four more before lunch at 1:05 pm, each period is 35 minutes.
On Mondays and Wednesdays, we have clubs from 1:35 pm to 3:35 pm and on Tuesdays and Thursdays, that time is reserved for sports till four. Then from 3:35 to 4:00 pm on club days to do as you please.
I usually go back to the dorms at four to shower before supper which is from 5:30 pm to 6:00 pm. From 6:00 pm to 6:30 pm we prepare to have prep at the classrooms (It basically study time), we have it in our respective homerooms with a prefect as a class monitor to make sure we behave.
We have prep from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm then it's back to our respective dorms for roll call and whatever announcements our matron or prefects have, in the common room. Then it's to our rooms, junior bedtime is at 9:35 pm and since I'm a senior my sleep schedule is up to me, I usually doze off around eleven.
Then it's a repeat until the weekend but that's information for another time. On Fridays after lunch there are no clubs or sports, it's usually the day most events happen, such as sports competitions, charity events, academic decathlons, art showcases, and the like. Back to our scheduled programming.
"Hey, what did Olivia want?"
Cora's locker was across from mine while the boys' lockers were further down the hallway. She had her white backpack on and was looking at me expectantly.
