TAYLOR'S POV
I woke up before my alarm for once, I picked up my phone and saw my good morning text from Carl. I smiled, quickly replying then checking social media. I then - finally - got up and got changed into a black and grey striped t-shirt with black leggings and white converse, I pulled Carl's grey zip-up hoodie over my outfit and put little effort into my hair and makeup. I grabbed my satchel and slid my phone and my charger inside. I walked downstairs, the smell of toast filling my nose.

"Morning!" I called, my voice shaking from the fact I was running. I dropped my bag on the floor and pulled out Noah's toast.

"Seriously?!" he whined, watching me spread Nutella over his breakfast and taking a bite. I winked at him, going to sit down. PJ entered a moment later, Gina was already sitting eating silently.

"Oh, um, Tay?" PJ mumbled, checking our mom wasn't in the living room.

"Mhm?" I mumbled, my mouth full of toast. He took a plastic bag full of pre-rolled joints and passed it to me - he knew I could never roll them right.

"Thanks, Peej." I chirped, sliding them into a hidden pocket in my bag along with a lighter. I stood up and grabbed a water bottle out of the refrigerator, then I left my house and began my walk to school.

CARL'S POV
I woke up to the same old thing I always do - Fiona screaming for us to wake up and the smell of some weird thing she's making for breakfast. I sat up, climbing out of my bed and getting changed. I pulled a black Nike sweater on over jeans and white sneakers. I sprayed cologne and fixed my hair, shoving my stuff into my pockets.

"Carl, come on!" Fiona yelled. I ran downstairs and sat in the only empty chair at the table. She placed two plain waffles and a cup of badly made coffee in front of me. I smiled at her to show I appreciated the fact she was trying. Despite the fact we always yell, I love Fiona, well, my whole family actually.

"Come on." Debbie mumbled, hitting my arm after we'd both finished eating. She grabbed her bag and we both quickly began walking to school.
