I woke up to my phone alarm going off.

I sat up and turned it off.

Damn, It's cold.

I got out of my bed and walked into my bathroom to take a shower.

I took care of my personal hygiene and everything then got dressed.

I put on black leggings, a Nike tank top, Nike Air Force high tops, a black Adida jacket, my glasses, and put my hair up in a bun.

I grabbed my backpack and phone then walked downstairs.

My twelve-year-old cousin, Mackenzie, was sitting at the island, eating cereal.

"Hey Mackenzie." I said "Hi Ali" "I didn't see you yesterday morning." I pointed out "I had early band practice." "Oh."

I grabbed a Pop Tart out of the pantry and sat down on the couch.

Princess was sleeping in her pink little doggy bed in the corner of the room.

I opened the pop tart bag and her head shot up. 

I slowly opened the rest of the package and she got up and walked over to me.

She sat down in front of me and just stared. After a while it gets creepy and annoying.

"Mackenzie, come get your dog." I said "why?" "She's begging." "Then don't pay attention."

I rolled my eyes then got up and went to the table - she followed.

"MOVE" I said while scooting her away with my foot.

She just went back to the exact spot.

I just turned around and ignored her until she started to whine.

"Mackenzie, please get this dog away from me before I beat the life out of it." I said while rubbing my temples

She quickly ran over and picked up her dog from the ground, gave me a 'humph', then walked away.

Before I beat the life out of her with her dog.

I heard the sound of high heels coming down the stairs, then Rachel walked in the kitchen.

"I have an early meeting. Are you ready to go? If not, your uncle Daniel can take you to school.""I'll just go with you."

We got in the car and headed to my school.

"Rachel?" I asked "Yes?" "Can I get a dog?" I asked "We have a dog." "That's Mackenzie's dog." "It's still a dog."

"Please. I'll take care of it and everything. I did that when I lived in LA." "What kind of dog?" She asked "I don't know? I just want a dog that I'll actually like." "Ok. But it's your responsibility." "Ok."

I arrived at school at 6:00 and school starts at 6:30.

I sat down in the cafiteria and put in my earbuds in.

I put my songs on shuffle and the song Dead and Gone by T.I. ft. Justin Timberlake came on, and went on Twitter.

Before I knew it the bell rang and it was 6:30.

I walked to my locker and put my stuff, including my jacket in my locker.

I grabbed my binder and headed to English.

Nate's POV

I was sitting in the back of the class waiting for Aaliyah to arrive to class when my friend, Sammy, sat next to me.
