I feel his warm minty breath fan across my face as he leans closer. The good boy with eyes like the sky during a storm. He looks into my eyes as I lean for more. He moves again, at a maddening slow pace. I feel his nose against mine, and in a flash, it's all gone.

I open my eyes and roll over, facing the blaring alarm clock. I lift my hand and let it slam on the "off" button. I groan and force myself up to face the first day of school. I make my way downstairs, letting my fluffy blue slippers scrape across the floor as I walk. As I stand in the kitchen, I realize I'm left alone this morning.

Whistling as I grab my backpack and sling it over my shoulder, I head out to my car. Just as I settle into the drivers seat, my phone let's off any annoying pew sound, alerting me of a new text.

"You better be awake, Celia!!!"

I smirk down at my phone and decide not to answer, just imagining the look on my best friends face as she wonders if I'll be leaving her on her own today. I pull my impala out of the driveway and make my way to this hell hole called school.
