~CHAPTER 1~ Mornings are for morning people

I wake to an excruciatingly painful melody...My alarm clock...The constant noise drove my sleepy body towards it. I lazily flopped my arm on top of it to put a halt to the machine that woke me from my dreams of absolute paradise.

I sluggishly roll to face my wooden bedside table that consisted of my alarm clock, an industrial lamp, my favourite book series (The Maze Runner) and my phone.

I reach for my phone and watched as the screen lit up. I had 2 emails, a notification for the addictive app Candy Crush and 5 text messages.

I unlocked the fully charged device and see who texted me. 2 from my mother, 1 from my best friend Y/F/N and the other 2 belonging to my close friends Thomas and Dylan.

Before I have a chance to view the messages my eyes flutter to the time displayed on the screen. 8:15am... CRAP! I slept in and school starts in 15 minutes.

I jump in the shower and force myself to wash in cold water (*what do you expect there was no time for it to heat up*) I get dressed in my bland school uniform and quickly brush the knots from my Y/H/C hair.

I stumble down the stairs and grab food for lunch and a quick snack to eat on the way.

I check the time 8:26am. School starts in 4 minutes.

I do my hair, brush my teeth and ladida you know the story. I slip on my shoes and sprint towards the school which is conveniently only a 2 minute walk, but there was no time for walking.

Oh my gosh! Mornings are for morning people, not me.
-----------------------------------------------------
I reached the school in just under a minute. Huffing and puffing I burst through the doors to make my way to my home room.

I sat down just as the bell rang to indicate that school had started. I let out a breathless sigh as I receive cold stares from the teacher.

"You're lucky you made it before that bell went Ms. Y/L/N. I would have marked you as late and then given you a detention" he says behind an evil smirk. The teacher wasn't all that bad to be honest, he was a funny teacher, but he hated students that were late.

As we waited for the second bell to dismiss us to our next classes, I checked my messages that were sent earlier.

MUMMA: hey babe your father and I are going out tonight and your sisters are at your grandparents house...you are more then welcome to invite your friend over since you're going out with her tonight. But no more than 4 friends!!
love you honey xo😘
MUMMA: AND NO PARTIES!

Hehe my mum's the cutest. I quickly scroll through to Y/F/N's message.

Y/F/N: I CAN'T WAIT FOR TONIGHT! Hope you actually get out of bed this morning...hehe. See ya at school!

I flick through and finally land on Thomas's text.

THOMAS: Morning love, hope you slept well so you don't look too drowsy for tonight...hope to see you there! 😘😁

I giggle slightly as his text because of how cute he sounds. I then cross to Dylan's text which had an attached selfie of him and his friends on their way to C/Y/I (city you're in).

DYLAN: Sup weirdo. Hope to see you tonight to watch me and my epic acting skills😏see ya soon...later gator
Dylan

He's so funny sometimes.

As I silently giggle at the picture of his slightly puckered grin and his messy bed hair, I don't notice the second bell had rung until I felt a tap on my shoulder from my annoying teacher.

"I know that you so desperately want to stay but you need to actually fill your brain with educational knowledge," he says quietly laughing at his corny joke "that's what school is for so move out of the class please!" He states practically yelling.
-----------------------------------------------------
I make my way towards my locker and retrieve my schooling needs for the first period. I check my timetable for my first class. English. Great.

I make my way to the class and sit with my bestest friend ever in the whole wide world! We chat the whole lesson not paying any attention to what's happening. We talk about tonight and how amazing it's gonna be seeing the movie and the cast, even though she didn't believe I knew most of them already, I just went with it.
-----------------------------------------------------
" Until you can prove to me that you know them and are friends with them, I won't share my food with you ever again!" We both smile and laugh loud enough to be heard on the other side of the school. I then remembered the picture Dylan sent this morning of him and some of the cast.

I flicked to the photo, shoved it in her face, and told her it was from him. But of course she had her smart ways of turning it around.

" Not good enough!" She squealed with laughter and giddiness in her voice. Did I mention she has a major crush on Dylan O'Brien?

"WHAT?!" I scream through laughter.

"I need to see him IN THE FLESH!" She replied. We both exchanged laughs as I put my phone away into my bag.

Then the bell went signalling then end of lunch.



Hey guys this is my first time writing a book but I won't say 'DON'T JUDGE' because I can see some flaws that I don't want to fix but oh well...if you like it then I will update more.
