I woke up to the sound of my alarm blaring and quickly grabbed a pillow and pressed it against my ear to try to ignore the terrible sound. Much to my disappointed I could still hear it, so I swiftly took the phone from my night stand and pressed any button available trying to get it to shut up. For a good ten minutes I just laid on my bed hoping I was dreaming and I would wake up to it being June. I got up though dragging my feet across the floor with each step until I had made it to my bathroom, I looked in the mirror at the mess that was my hair and quickly brushed it out so I wouldn't scare the neighbors. I then swept the small amount of makeup i wear across my face with my eyeliner going to a nice wing tip. I nodded at myself in the mirror and walked to my room pulling out my outfit for the day. It consisted of the usual for me, dark jeans, a plaid button up shirt and my precious grey converse that I still don't understand how some people survive without. I then walked down the narrow hallway of my house to the kitchen and poured myself a bowl of honeycombs taking my time processing the sweetness of it, while I scrolled through tumblr. "Piper, Dylan its time to go!" my mom said as she walked towards the garage coffee in hand. I swooped up my bag from next to the door and climbed into the backseat of the car since my brother always got shotgun. About three minutes later Dylan came out looking like he had just fought in WW2 with his hair a mess and his outfit barley matching, he obviously didn't have a good morning. I decided it was probably best not to talk to anyone since everyone seemed a bit grouchy, so I put my headphones in and listened to twenty-one pilots newest songs while lightly humming.

   Once we got to school I jumped out of the car while exchanging "goodbyes" and "have a good days" with my mom. I left my headphones in as I walked up to the prison looking school with its metal siding and dull colors drowning the life out of students. I took my time walking down to coach Fishers room since I was there a bit early. I walked in and set my track bag down on the back counter with everyone else's and quickly joined a conversation with a few of my close friends like Erica, who is like my best friend in the world, Ellie, Riley and a few others. We discussed basically anything that we thought of ranging from penguins to who should date who. Thankfully before they got to me my other best friend, Allie, texted me saying 


Where are you? I'm bored!


I knew why she was bored, she was in our first period class, algebra, that I should really be getting to. That and she was with Luke, who she was destined to be with and James, who she was convinced i was destined to be with. So I let my fingers type out a quick reply saying,


On my way. I was hanging out with some track and cross country girls in coach Fishers room. 


I said goodbye to my other friends and started heading up to the class that I considered hell. I slumped up stairs and walked into the room to be greeted by Allie who was sitting in her seat next to James, I took my seat behind to the left of her and started a conversation with Lexie, the girl who sits next to me. As soon as Allie had finished scrolling through Instagram she turned around to face me her dark hair almost hitting James as she turned. 


"Luke is the worlds largest dork, I swear" she said smiling 


Lexie felt the need to chime in because of her outgoing and loud personality,


"You and Lucas are made for each other! I swear, everyone ships you guys."


I started to giggle at that comment being that it was completely true. I saw Allie smile and open her mouth to say something but the bell cut her off. She turned to look at me once again this time winking and pointing at James. I glared at her hoping she would stop but her talent is embarrassing herself so she kept doing so. I saw her say something to him right as the root to all my pain and suffering walked in the room, Mrs. Dalton.
