13.

I walk out of the shower feeling fresh but also a little tired. I better not be a mess at school or I'm dead meat.

I grab an oversized-grey hoodie and matching sweatpants. I put my hair in a claw clip. I take my backpack from the foot of my bed before heading downstairs with a pair of socks and high-top converse in my hands.  I put my shoes on quickly before making myself some cereal.

I finish up and wash my dish but by the time I'm finished, it's only 5:34.

I hurried up for nothing.

Well, I sit down on the sofa, take out my claw clip and rest my head on a pillow to sleep. I feel my body slowly drifting to sleep and eventually...

*Knock knock*

I jolt up as I hear a knock on the door, I look at the clock above the TV and get up as I realise I should get up. I quickly put my hair in the claw clip and grab a piece of gum from the pouch of my backpack as I pick it up.

As I open the door I'm met with a beautiful and radiant Lily. She has a white spaghetti strap dress with an off-white cardigan and white ankle Converse. I smile at her as I fix my backpack.

"Hi!" I say, my voice sounding like a monster's since I was asleep.

"Hey! Did you fall asleep?" Lily asks, I nod and step out of the house, the chilly morning September air blowing lightly. I lock the door and follow Lily to her car. She sits down and starts the car, the radio turns on and plays some Nirvana song about mosquitos? I wasn't paying attention, I just need to sleep. I close my eyes and get lost in my own thoughts.

"We're here!" Lily announces with a strange amount of happiness. I groan and grab my backpack which was placed carefully on my lap, "Um, go on without me I need to fill the tank very quickly okay?" Lily says, I nod and wave, "Later." I mumble as I walk towards the school, passing the jocks and their  girlfriends who seem to be more of arm candy than their actual girlfriends.

As I pass them I hear a wolf whistle from the only guy who doesn't have girls all around him. I roll my eyes and keep walking until I enter the school doors. I feel a hand on my shoulder and turn around to find the same guy smirking at me.

"Hey, I'm Brayton. I don't think we've been properly acquainted."

Oh great!
