When my alarm rings I have to force myself up and out of bed. I grab my phone to check my notifications.

Only a good morning text from Logan.

I have a shower immediately before looking for something to wear. I pull on a denim shirt with a red jumper that goes off of my left shoulder. I pair it with some heels.

After doing my hair and makeup, I grab my bag and phone, leaving my room in a mess as I head downstairs.

"Hi pip." Dad sips his coffee whilst sat at the island reading a newspaper.

"Hey." I say back. I don't want to settle for a hot coffee so I'll go to the brew on the way to school.

"Logan getting you this morning?" He asks as I ruffle through the fridge for breakfast.

"Nope, I'm going to drive myself, I think I'm gonna pick Hannah up. Do you know where my keys are?" I ask him.

"Dish by the door." He says, folding up the newspaper.

"You know I don't dabble in town gossip." Dad starts. I pour some yogurt and granola into a bowl with some pre cut strawberries.

"Right?" I question.

"But I've been hearing rumours." He says and immediately panic rattles throughout me.

Oh god. Oh god. Oh god.

"About?" I ask taking a bite of my breakfast.

"Ashley Marin." He admits. "About her killing that dodgy cop." He adds.

"Oh yeah well they're just rumours. She wouldn't do that. Everyone in this town are like blood hounds for gossip." I roll my eyes.

"That's true." He nods.

I finish my breakfast and then grab my bag.

"Hey before you go." Dad puts his coffee down.

"I have a friend at Boston College, I can still arrange for a campus tour this weekend if you want?" He offers.

"I think I should think about what I want to do and rough locations before I do any tours." I tell him.

"Sounds like a plan, when you know let me know and I can pull some strings for some tours and some of those colleges hopefully." He gets up to hug me.

"I'll see you later." He says.

I say a quick goodbye to him before I head for the brew and grab mine and Hannah's coffee orders.

Once I have them I head for Hannah's house to pick her up for school.

"You will never believe the dream I had." Hannah jumps into my car.

"That's for you." I say pointing to her coffee.

"Aw thank you." Hannah grabs it. "Anyway I had a dream that my mom shaved her hair off and was in a prisoner jumpsuit." She tells me.

"Oh fucking hell." I shake my head.

It's not looking good for Miss Marin.

"You are representing your family, your school and your community during these college visits. Translation? Do not use this weekend to discover beer pong." Mrs Montgomery gives a tight lipped smile.

"You are to use this time to audit classes, your the campus and decide if this is where you want to go." The bell rings and she dismisses us.

I pack up my notebook and start putting it in my bag when Hannah turns to us.

"Hey, you guys, why would I dream that? I mean, A is about to drop the hammer on my mom." Hannah rants.

"The only thing your dream is telling you, is that you should be drinking warm milk before bed." Spencer tells Hannah.
