I woke up with a loud banging paired with an equivalent tone of Daisy's shouting, and yes that is the sound of my alarm clock, customized version. I opened the door, to see Daisy with a toothbrush hanging on her mouth.

"Hurry up will be fuckin late!" she said as some bubbles escape her mouth and onto my face, nothing unusual. I took it off and smelled it, hmm strawberry. Daisy seems to like using toothpastes for kids, with sesame street characters as its packaging, nothing unusual still.

"Yeah, yeah." I said lazily, as I yawned and scratched my eyes, multitasking as to feel if there's some morning glory sprouted on it.

"Hey babe!" Vincent's face suddenly popped at the side of my doorway.

Well, just to make things clear, Vincent is not my boyfriend. He's the boyfriend of one of my girlfriends named Charmaine, we call her Chin. She's Chinese and Vincent is Dutch, cool combo right? Anyways, Vincent's logic – stupid as it is – if Chin is her girlfriend then all of us will be his girlfriend too. Well not literally, he just call us all babe.

I cringed, surprised to see his freckled face, full smile and a pineapple on his head, and that's actually his hair. "Fudging biscuits Vincent! It's too early for Halloween!"

"Babe you mentioning biscuits, kinda made me hungry." He went inside my room and paced, looking for my stash. Now it looks like a giant just entered my hobbit house.

My room is pretty small with a single bed, single closet, single table, all single, including me. It's painted in girly pink, not by choice, and actually everything in it. It actually feels like I'm in a mental hospital or a day care, or something in between.

"Will you get out of my room!" I said as I pushed him out. He laughed and went inside Daisy's room.

Most of our friends usually comes to our apartment when there's no class and simply hang out, or probably just to annoy us, like what Vincent is doing right now.

I tried to ignore him and probably the rest of the gang, who's hanging out in Daisy's room, who's way more spacious than mine. I silently went towards the bathroom of this apartment's floor without stopping by, careful for them not to sense me. Well it's not like they're vampires with incredible hearing, but oh well it's fun to play spy. Tiptoeing across Daisy's room, suddenly the door opened, and came out Jel.

"Sssssh!" I said aggressively with my eyes on full moon mode. "Hurry and close the door comrade! Don't let them get me." I tried to sound like a cowboy or cowgirl with a rusty voice. Jel laughed and gestured for me to go on. I saluted her before I went inside the bathroom.

After shower, I wore my now very tight uniform, that's been loyal to me for 3 years, and my trusty old backpack. I knocked on Daisy's room, ready to go to school. When I opened the door and saw them in t-shirts and jeans. Fuck.

Daisy laughed, and they all followed suit. "The heck are you wearing? You're not looking like that to the shoot are you?"

Oh shit, I just remembered. Our teacher said we don't have class today, for us to focus on our short film project. Ugh.

"Can I change? Promise I'll be quick."

"Okay babe, 5 minutes we'll time you. Pass that will leave you." Vincent said as he looked on his watch, while smirking the whole time.

"Why the harsh treatment?" I said pouting. I know they love bullying me, well, all of us loves to bully one another.

"We already waited for an hour Vic. What were you doing in there?" Chuck said, with squinted eyes as he wiggles his brows, obviously green thoughts are working on that head of his.
