Same Stars

Chapter 28

Dedicated to QueenReinz :) thank you for adding my book into your reading list I hope you don't get bored of reading this.

"Don't wanna be an American Idiot!" Shit. Who's blaring rock music this early? As I stay laid on my stomach I feel the urge to scream at whoever that inconsiderate neighbor is. Stop.

I pushed myself up and opened the window beside my bed. "Who the fuck is playing..."
Ahh the light. The reason why I pushed my bed all the way to the wall was because of the sunlight, my mother used to move the curtains and allow the light to share its unwanted heat on me. Damn it sun.

"I'm sorry, it's my phone. It's like seven twenty." Luke brushing his teeth, went out.

Seven twenty??
I'm gonna be late!

I cursed as I stub my foot on the furniture. No I don't find the need to shower, I took a bath last night, and that's an understatement. "Excuse me." I clumsily shove him "You can gargle downstairs, I'm in a hurry." I closed the door and fumbled with my shorts, but it took me less time to take my shirt off, time to multitask.

Yep, this is basically me everyday.

Wait. My alarm, didn't sound off today, that means. Cue the music, it's finally broken! I can finally find a legit reason not to use it. I've almost finished brushing my teeth when I remembered my closet and bathroom are not connected, mentally facepalming myself. That means I have to cross out there half naked. Like seriously, I don't want to wear these again, they're on the floor already.

Creek. Shit. "Umm. Alice do you know how to turn off the faucet because it's not-"

"You push the knob to twist it back to normal mode and push the button on the center of the knob." I shouted back, hoping he'd leave now. I meant leave the room. Well, as for the faucet, my father apparently made some new features on it. Like there's no sweat in washing the dishes anymore. "Oh, okay." The sound of the door being shut sends me into a moment of relief.

I wasted no time in getting my clothes, and I'm not having breakfast, surely my name will be full on demerit points. As I wore my 3/4 shirt, I can't believe everything that happened yesterday.

Harry and I, Zayn, my father and Luke. Damn it's like I'm living the soap opera life! Although my actions are rushed I still can't help but be bothered of the fight with Harry every single time. "Alice, catch!" My father calls out and I catch the carkeys effortlessly, reaction to stimuli.

Wow. I barely noticed I've already reached the kitchen. "Luke's riding with you, his girlfriend brought his truck home." More like his junk. I nod and walked by my mother who's drinking coffee, (quite unusual) to take my lunch. She is not a fan of caffein, and is most likely expected to be blabbering with dad at this point of the morning.

When I look back to dad he's seated in the living room, with a book in his lap. "Clearly you guys have not resolved things yet." My thoughts made me utter involuntarily.

"No Alice, we have." They say in unison.

"Sure." I wish I could tease them some more but I can't. Mrs. Devin, that bitch who can't get over the news article about me, is our first period. Shit that means we're classmates with him.

That's alright, you can stay away from him.

But if he apologizes, you must accept it. I kept the thought at the back of my head as I strode towards the door to open the damn garage. Fortunately the dude has opened the garage door, "Thank you." I say and gestured to the back seat.

"Where should I drop you off?"
The car door shut and he slumped back to the chair. "Just take me to Coleman University."

I start the engine and thought to myself.
Is he insane? That's more or less three kilometers away Garfield, I can't be late anymore.
