𝐈 then wake up in my bed as i gasp. I hold my head as i feel a migraine. I then feel my phone next to me vibrate. I groan and reach over to grab my phone. I click on the group chat with everyone else.

Them;

I snicker as i realize they didn't do it.

𝐘𝐨𝐮: 𝐈 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤

𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐥𝐲𝐧: 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐰 𝐢𝐭.

𝐓𝐲𝐥𝐞𝐫: ^

I then sigh as i begin to get up from my bed. I stretch my arms then go out my room to get a bottle of water from the kitchen.

I glance around my house as it looks empty per usual. At least ever since she left. I know she'll be back but, y'know, still feels lonely around the house.

I look at the time on the microwave, it read '𝟏𝟐:𝟎𝟕𝐚𝐦.' I sigh and start to get ready for work. I then get my bag for school ready and my other bag to change for the school day, which is by the way only a few hours away.

I then head to the front of my door and grab my keychain that held both my house keys and my car keys. I lock the door behind me and walk over to my car.

I put my phone in front of my face and look at the time '𝟏𝟐:𝟏𝟗' it read. '11 more minutes till my shift..' I think to myself sigh. I open the door to my car and get in.

I start the engine of my car. I buckle my seatbelt and stay in my seat for a moment and groan knowing i have to show up for work. I suck it up and begin to drive to work. I couldn't help but feel uneasy as i drive.

I then pull up to my working place, a convenience store. I then enter it and i see Josh, my co-worker getting ready to leave. He smiles at me and waves at me as he leaves the store. I smile and wave back at him. I then walk behind the check out counter. I yawn and pull out my phone as i scroll on it, knowing not many people are going to come into the convenience at this hour.

Of course that's why i even chose this shift, i know not many people come at this hour, free money to be honest.

The rest of my shift goes by pretty smoothly until finally, it comes to an end. I then head to the locker room as my other co-worker Sasha enters the store and greets me.

I greet her back as i enter the locker room and the door behind me closes. I start to change to more casual clothing for school. I yawn as i stretch and rub my eyes. I hear a few pops as i stretch and i hum contently. I pull out my phone as it read. '𝟕:𝟐𝟖𝐚𝐦' I then put my phone back into my pocket.

I exit the store and walk to my car. I unlock it and enter my car. I yawn one more time and start to drive to school.

I still had sometime before class started so i just added some light makeup to my face. Once i finish my makeup i smile, contently. I look over to my radio and check the time, '𝟖:𝟎𝟒𝐚𝐦' I sigh and decide to head to class.

I get out my car and lock it and i begin to head inside the school, on my way i see Logan i wave at him and smile lazily. He sees me and waves back. I could tell he couldn't sleep like the rest of the group. Of course, who could even sleep after going through that on a daily every night? Of course as expected, he had visible eye bags under his eyes.

"Let's head to class!" I tell him as i smile happily with my eyes closed. I grab onto his upper arm as i walk with him to class. He looks at me as he gives me a small smile. "Good mor-.. ning.." Mr. Thomas greets us. I lazily wave his way as i yawn. I then walk towards mine and Logan's seat.

Luckily we sat right next to each other. I could see Mr. Thomas sweatdrops as he glance over at our group before saying, "Everyone get your homework out please.." I got my homework out and yawn as i lay on my desk as i start to fall asleep.

I didn't know how much time i slept until i jolt up when the bell rings. I slightly groan in annoyance, knowing if i kept this up i would fail this class. I sigh and get my bag and stuff as i yawn. I see Logan waiting for me. I smile at him and i throw my bag over my shoulder.

We walk towards the others. Aiden the calls over to Ashlyn. "Ashlyn! We're all eating lunch together. Y'know, to talk about stuff." He tells her as he empathizes 'stuff' I slightly roll my eyes, unamused. But, of course, it's Aiden. We all knew what he was talking about.

"..Alright." She replies, looking tired.  I then yawn as we head towards the cafeteria for lunch.
