New Day

Every girl woke up in a state that morning.

Either it was being woken up by an alarm or by the sunrise or by a personal maid (if you were lucky), you were probably feeling like a messy teenager after a frat party (which was what they all were anyways).

Nevertheless, each girl made their way to complete their morning routine.

Itunu woke up at 4:00am that morning to get ready for school. She needed to clear her head before going through her day.

And for those 4 hours she spent getting ready, she could only think about one thing.

"What the hell happened that night?"

"And why do I not remember anything else?..."

☁︎☁︎☁︎

"What the hell happened that night?"

"And why do I not remember anything else?..."

Sophia thought whilst eating her granola and yogurt for breakfast that morning.

"You ok love?" Mrs McLaughlin asked, clearly noticing the uneasiness in her face.

"Oh um, yeah. Just a little tired...from writing my speech for today..." She lied.

"Yeah let's hope you don't screw up by accidently burping in the microphone like the last time you practiced in front of us." Aiden teased, not looking up from his from with a mouth full of crumpets.

"That was because you dared me to finish a whole bottle of sprite before telling everyone that I was 'ready' for practice remember?" She yelled back grumpily.

"Wow, trying to hide your imperfections I see. Classic Sophie bear."

"I thought I told you to stop calling me that!"

"Can both of you please shut up!" Mr McLaughlin yelled, slamming his coffee on the table. "I can't fucking enjoy my match of day without you 2 always squabbling about something like headless chickens!"

"Thanks for keeping them quiet dad." Felicity slurred, half of her hair stuck in the almond pudding she was attempting to finish."

"Rough night again Flick?" Sophia asks. She shuffles closer and tries to sort out the sticky situation her sister had wrapped herself in.

"WHAT?! ME, HAVING A ROUGH NIGHT? NEVER?!" She suddenly wakes herself up, attempting to appear fine.

Everyone gives her a strange look.

"Ok fine, I may be a little bit tired from studying to be top in my class in colly...and...look like a right...scruff, but...that's it, I'm...perfectly... fi-"

Before even finishing her sentence, her face falls flat into her pudding.

"I think she should stay home for today." Mrs McLaughlin sighed.

"Again? If she can stay at home for like the 500th time this year, I can certainly stay home and play more fifa." Aiden protested.

"Aiden, go to school and learn something." Mrs McLaughlin grabbed his backpack and threw it on his face. "And Sophia, I wish you good luck on your speech."

Sophia hugged her before rushing off, but little did her family know that the speech wasn't even her main concern...

☁︎☁︎☁︎

The school finding out that she had sneaked in wasn't her main concern. It was the strange thing that happened that night that was.

Jasmine layed in her bed. Confused. Lost of words. A little scared.

It was 8:25, meaning there was 5 minutes until the actual school day started. Yet she was still rolling around in her bed for the past half hour since she woke up.

A notification interupted the loud silence in her room.

Jasmine sighed, knowing that she was gonna have one hell of a day to face.

☁︎☁︎☁︎

Chloe sighed as she walked through the sunrise to school that morning, knowing that she was gonna have one hell of a day to face that day.

She turned around to Katy, but she was staring at her phone silently.

"Are you seriously gonna act like this whole strange thing isn't bothering you?" Chloe asked, confused.

No reply.

"Katy!"

"I am bothered ok!" Katy yells hesitantly. "I don't know what the fuck happened last night and i'm just as bothered as you are but all I know is that if we don't put our mind to it and act like everything is normal, it'll be like it never happened, ok?"

"That's easy for you to say." Chloe muttered. "Your one of the 'miss populars' of the school, remember."

"Just because I'm popular, doesn't mean I get everything handed to me on a silver plate." Katy rolled her eyes as she chews on her doritos. "And I'm not that popular anyways. Your just being overdramatic and jealous. Again."

"Ugh, why did I agree to 'clear my mind' with you and not just get in the car with Lily?" Chloe groaned. "Now hurry up, we've got 5 minutes left until school starts."
