I woke up to the sound of a loud alarm and busy street sounds. I stretched my arm to grab my phone and hit snooze. I groan, not ready to get up until a familiar face enters my mind. While smiling, a wave of happiness over comes me, remembering that I get to see that familiar face today.

I lay in bed for around six minutes contemplating whether I should get up yet until finally deciding to get up and get ready for school. I sluggishly get out of bed and open my closet, wondering what I'll where today. While trying on a couple of outfits, I can't seem to find one I like until I settle with wearing  a plain white hoodie, baggy jeans and white Air Force's.

I look in the mirror and see my brown curls barley covering my eyes and remember to set an appointment for a hair cut before the end of the semester before my hair gets out of control. It may be hard to see but I actually have blue eyes and light freckles on my cheeks.

"ETHAN BREAKFAST IS READY"  My mom screamed. Her yell startled me a little and it sounded like she was in a hurry.  I was curious why she yelled so loud, She usually comes to my room to tell me anything.

While running downstairs I yell back, asking why she sounded like she was in a hurry. She waited until I was all the way down the stairs and when I saw her face she had a smile on like always but I could also tell there was something else.

"W-Well I have to go into work early today because there's a chance I might get a promotion." I immediately was happy for her and was hoping things could finally change for the better.

"Oh yeah, since I was already up I decided to make you some pancakes. Well I have to go, see you later. Love you"

"Love you too mom"

I ate breakfast and Since I didn't have a ride  I decided to walk since the school wasn't too far away. At least that what I thought. It ended up being longer than expected and I was deeply regretting my choice

While slowly waking up I could feel someone poking my face and repeating the words wake up. I already know who it is and decided to scare them.

I suddenly scream and hear another scream right after. It was hilarious and I couldn't stop laughing.

"Why did you have to scare me like that?" I heard my sister say in a whiny voice.

"Because you deserve it Layla, who wakes someone up like that."

"A cool person, duh"

"Hmm where's the cool person? All I see is a short person"

"Hmph, meanie I'm telling mom"

"Don't.you.dare" I say with a glare on my face.

And just like she starts running away from me around my room until she gets the idea to throw a pillow at me but I caught it.

"Hah, you thought that would stop me"

With me distracted she runs down the stairs and by the time I noticed she was half way down. She gets to the bottom but me being the obviously faster one out of us I catch her and put her and put her in a choke hold, not strong enough to hurt her but enough to get my point around. But as lucky as I am my mom decides to walk by us.

"Maya what are you doing to your sister!"

"SHE STARTED IT!"

"Did not"

"I don't care who started it, just stop hurting each other. Also Maya hurry up and get ready before your late for school, again."

I sigh and head up to my room to get dressed. I wear a simple white tank top with baggy ripped jeans and a pair of white chunky boots. I look at my clock and see that I have just enough time to eat breakfast. When I get to the table I already see my brother Noah, whose the same age as me already eating, along with my older brother Leo.

"Looks like somebody's finally ready"

"Oh shut up, it usually takes you FOREVER to just get out of bed"

We both stuck our tongues out at each other but before we could argue anymore, Leo just had to step in.

"Ok both of you shut up, we need to leave before we're all late to school"

(Leo's pov)
The car ride was.....something. Like always Noah and Maya found something stupid to argue about. This time it was wether water was wet or not?! Like wtf at least use some of your brain cells and argue about something better than that. I was seriously contemplating getting into a car crash.

Finally the heavens answered my prayers because we were finally at school and I wouldn't have to here there annoying voices for a couple of hours.

When I arrived at school i texted Maya and asked her if she was at school yet. After a minute she responded saying that she was and she was by the gym. I smile and quickly head over and then I saw that face.

That beautiful face.
