My alarm goes off.

I groan as I press the stop button on my alarm clock. I get out of my very comfortable warm bed. I hate mornings and I hate having to get up for school.

I look out the window to see that the suns not even out yet. It's only 5 in the morning.

I just want to go back to bed.

I head into my bathroom.

Brush my teeth, pee and take a shower. Once I step out the shower and wrap a towel around my damp body, I walk over to the mirror and just stare at how skinny i've gotten, how bad my eye bags are from studying till 2 this morning.

I head out of my bathroom and into my walk in closet. I grabbed my black Nike sweats and a Blue hoodie since it's Monday.

I hate Mondays but honestly who doesn't?

Once I finished getting dressed it was already 6am, I walked out of my room and when I was walking down the hallway I bumped right into Ashton, "Open your fucking eyes and watch where your going." He growls deeply with clear annoyance in his voice.

I gave him a dirty look while I try to catch my balance. No one in this house is a morning person.

Me and Ashton share the West wing of the house while Mom and Dave share the East wing. Then the annoying twins share the North Wing. The South wing is where everyones offices are.

I finally got to the stairs on my side and started to walk down them. I can hear my mom in the kitchen cleaning? What is she doing home?

Did she make breakfast?

I feel like a zombie this morning but after I get down stairs I walk into the kitchen to see my mom washing the last of dishes.

"Umm, mom?" I ask confused.

"Yes, sweetie?"

"How come you decided to make breakfast this morning? You never make breakfast unless there's some type of special occasion happening soon," I say as she looks at me with the smallest smile possible.

"Well sweetheart, your brothers friend and the rest of the Costello's are coming over for dinner, so I thought why not make breakfast to start off the day."

How sweet.

I gave her a tired look while Ashton walks in the kitchen and her smile grew 2x bigger while looking at him.

When is she ever going to smile at me like that?

Why doesn't she smile at me like she does Ashton?

I sighed loudly and get some breakfast to eat before school.

Once I was finished eating I clean my plate and then tried to rush Ashton out the door because Emily and Keilanni are waiting for me at school.
