Will's POV (present)

          I awoke to the sound of a car engine starting outside the front of the house. The sunshine shone through my curtains causing me to squint my eyes as they slowly started to adjust. I sat up on my elbows supporting my weight as I swung my legs over the side of the bed forcing my feet to the floor. I stood up and lifted my arms above my body stretching them out before I walked to my room door and softly opened it as my eyes were not fully adjusted yet. I trudged into the hallway hearing slight clanking in the kitchen, I continued to walk until I saw my mom standing at the sink with the water turned on.

She looked up hearing my footsteps "Hey your finally awake, Jonathan just left" She smiled at me.

"Morning" I groggily said back.

"You don't have a lot of time, your breakfast is on the table" She pointed to a plate with toast, eggs, and bacon on it with side of strawberries.

"Thank you" I softly answered.

          I walked to the table and sat down before I picked up my fork and began to eat the food. Finishing the food I got up and walked my plate to the sink, rinsing it off with water. I walked back down the hallway but only halfway so I could turn to the bathroom. I grabbed my toothbrush squirting the toothpaste out of the tube onto the many bristles. I brushed my teeth and washed my face with cold water waking myself up a bit. Making my way to my room I shut the door behind myself, I got dressed deciding on a purple plaid button up with long sleeves that I slightly rolled up, with darker blue jeans, and a black belt with a silver buckle. I grabbed my back pack from the foot of my bed slinging it onto my back. I picked up my watch off my dresser before I left my room. I tightened the watch around my wrist as I made it to the front of the house.

"Are you leaving now?" My mom asked from the kitchen table.

"Yeah, bye mom" I reached the front door and unlocked it twisting the knob.

"Bye honey, love you have a good day" My mom said from where she sat.

"Love you too!" I called before I shut the door and went outside.

          The cold air rushed onto my skin as soon as I opened the door, I walked to the edge of the porch and grabbed the handles of my bike leading it to an open space. I got on and started to peddle down the street.

MAX'S POV (present)

          I rolled over in my bed in different positions trying to get myself to fall back asleep, after some time I sat up blowing the hair away from the front of my eyes. Looking back at my curtains I blinked letting my eyes adjust to the light. I turned over gazing at my alarm clock.

12:37. I got more sleep then I thought

          I yawned and put my feet on the floor slowly standing up, I made my way to my room door and slightly opened it peeking out before I let my whole body into the hall. I moved to the beginning of the set of stairs gripping on the rail for support, the stairs slightly creaked as I started to reach the first floor. I went to the kitchen rummaging through the cabinets until I cane across a box of strawberry Pop-Tarts. I grabbed one pack out of the bag opening the packaging as quietly as I could. After placing the two rectangular shaped foods in the toaster I leaned against the counter just waiting. I heard heavy footsteps coming down the stairs towards me.

"Aren't you supposed to be at school?" Billy's voice asked from behind me.

"Suspended" I gave him a shorter response as the toaster popped up revealing the Pop-Tarts were finished, I placed them on a paper plate and faced Billy.
