"Bernard"

•1•

Malia could feel the sunlight peeking through the window as Pepper jumped on her bed.

"Good Morning sweet girl" she sleepily says, opening her eyes to the golden light.

Slowly sitting up in bed she grabs her phone to see what time it is. (6:45)

"Oh crap, the triplets will be here in 15 minutes and I haven't even gotten out of bed yet." The thought ran through her head like a bullet train.

Throwing off her covers she rushes to the bathroom to take the world's fastest shower. Once out she put on her makeup and threw on some blue jeans, a light gray speckled sweater with gold jewelry, a Gucci belt, and black heeled boots. She is ready not a second too soon because right as she slips on her shoes a honk comes from outside.

"Oh thank god, I had just enough time." She thinks to herself before grabbing her bag from the bed and running outside to see the boy's white van sitting in the driveway. Jumping in the back seat with Nick she flashes a smile at Chris and Matt in the front seat.

"Goooood Morning!" Malia says in a singsong voice.

"Hey, how ya doin'?" Chris says from the passenger seat.

"Oh you know, got ready with not a second to spare. If it weren't for Pepper I would still be asleep." she responded laughing.

"Pepper really is the best." Nick says, shaking his head from the seat next to me.

"Oh you have no idea, that cat is pretty much the only reason I ever am up on time to make it to school."

Matt lets out a small laugh as he puts the car in reverse and begins to pull out of the driveway.

The drive to school is filled with laughter and singing, as they pull up to school Pictures by Lxst is blaring through the speakers and the 4 teens are singing their hearts out.

Matt finds a parking space and pulls in, as he puts the car in park he begins unbuckling his seatbelt and says "Alright everybody out."

"No need to rush everyone Bernard!" the girl says with a smirk.

Matt hates it when Malia uses his middle name but she only does it because whenever she does he gets the most dumbfounded look on his face. How could she resist that!

Matt's eyes snap up to the rear view mirror where he can see the blonde grinning, "You know what you can find a ride home from school after that comment Malia Mae." Matt says with a spark of mischief in his eye.

"Oh get a room you two!" Nick says as he rolls his eyes earning a shove to his shoulder from me as he gets out of the van.

"Come on Nick you know I can't start my day without making Matt a little mad. It's so much fun!" Malia says gathering her things and opening the van door.

Everyone laughs and hops out of the van beginning to walk towards the front door of the High School when suddenly a bright red WRX goes flying past the group, nearly running them over. The car has music blaring from the open windows but the lyrics are indistinguishable due to the heavy base thudding in the song.

"Watch it ass hat!" Chris screams at the car jumping backwards with the group to avoid getting hit.

"What a douche." Malia says rolling her eyes, once the shock wears off she begins to walk towards the doors once more.

"What, do you really expect anything else from Caleb?" Nick asks catching up to me after our near death encounter.

The group just hums and nods their heads in agreement. What Nick said was true, Caleb Young thought he was the best guy in school. He was the captain of the basketball team and had practically the whole school wrapped around his finger. Even the principal was under his spell. Caleb had literally never gotten in trouble for anything no matter how bad it was. The one thing that got on his nerves was that Malia and her friends were the only people who saw through his facade, and that made him do his best to make their lives miserable.

Once inside the 4 teens met up with the rest of the group (Amelia, Daniel, and Mason).

"Hey where have you guys been?" Mason shouts as he sees the group approaching.

"Not our fault! Caleb almost ran us over on our way in." Chris remarks with an annoyed look plastered on his face.

"Why can't he just be happy he has everyone else following him around like lost puppies and leave us alone" Amelia chimes in rolling her eyes.

"We may never know." Daniel says, slamming his locker as he turns around.

The group talked for about 10 minutes telling each other about their weekends before the bell rang signaling that there were only 5 minutes until the first block began.

"Ok come on Mason, Amelia let's get to geography." Nick says, beginning to walk the class.

Mason and Amelia started to follow Nick waving goodbye to the group. Matt and Malia went to Calculus and Chris and Daniel headed to the gym.

_____________________________________

Calculus Class (Matt and Malia)

Class starts off as always with Mr.Valdez writing the warm up equation on the board for everyone to solve and the 15 minute timer starting.

Matt and Malia sat next to each other as always, this made the warm up a breeze because they both were good in school. Malia in particular had a knack for math, it's not something she particularly enjoyed but she has always been good at it.

Once the warm up was over the lecture began. Matt pulled out his AirPods when Mr.Valdez started talking and handed one to Malia. The pair listened to music while Malia took notes.

Every class one would take notes and give them to the other, it was always fair because they would switch who took notes every class.

Once the lecture was over everyone got their assignment and were set free to work. Matt and Malia got the assignment done with 30 minutes to spare as always so Mr.Valdez just lets them go to the library for the rest of the class.

Once they got to the library Malia opened the group chat to see if anyone else was able to meet her and Matt in the library.
