The next day...

My alarm beeps repeatedly until my eyes finally flicker open. I slowly sit up yawing and I grab my phone. I look at the time. It's 7:25AM. I put down my phone and lay back down. Until I realize something.

How is it 7:25am? Everyday I set my alarm for 5am, that can't be right.

I stand up and grab my phone it is 7:25. Holy shit. I have to be at school by 7:45. So that only leaves me with 20 minutes to get ready.

I unlock my phone then I go check my alarm to make sure I set it right. As I'm looking through my alarms I notice something strange. I see a new alarm that I didn't make. It's named: "Don't click this alarm and look at the details love, Jace"

Why Jace?

I click the alarm and look at the details.

Alarm details:

Alarm name: Don't click this alarm and read the details love, Jace.

Set time: 7:25

Alarm tone: Beep

Description: Good Morning Sam:) I hacked your phone and deleted your alarm set for 5AM and set this one for 7:25AM because I think you should be late to school at least once. - Jace

He just won't stop will he?

I sigh then I put my phone down and start getting ready. I have 15 minutes to get ready. I run into my bathroom and take a quick shower then I put on a black hoodie and some jeans. I brush my hair down. I put on my glasses. The I put on my shoes.

I look at my phone I only have 5 minutes to get to school. I grab my book bag and run out of my room screaming.

"MOM! DAD! I'M GONNA BE LATE FOR SCHOOL CAN ONE OF YOU PLEASE DRIVE ME?"

Since I get no response I immediately realize my mom is at work and my dad is still on his business trip.

Jesus Christ I can't be late.

I run downstairs grab my plate of breakfast and dump it into my book bag.

A girls gotta eat right?

I zip my book bag up and go run into the shed in the back of my house. It's super clustered and really dusty. I trip over a old hose and fall. I quickly pick myself up them continue to make my way to the back of shed until I see it.

My old bike from 3rd grade.

It's pink with rainbow colored streamers attached to the handle bars. I sigh. I close my eyes. "Samantha this is for your perfect attendance record you can do it." I whisper to myself. I drag the bike out of the shed and prop it up. I put my book bag in the basket attached to the bike. I quickly put myself on the bike and start peddling really fast.

The school is about a block away now. So I'm almost there. I car zooms in front of me and honks it's horn. I stop the bike and catch my breath. I dig in my book bag and grab a hair tie. I put my hair in a messy bun. Then I put one foot on a pedal. I hear a car zooming behind me.

I look to my side an see Jace in his car with a couple of his football friends. The roof is down. I look in the back seat and see Mindy and her 'followers'.

What I wanna right now is go up to Jace and smack him in the back of the head for changing my alarm. Then, force him to drive me the rest of the way to school. But I can't. I'm intimidated by Jace and the cool kids.

The car pulls closer to me and stops.

Mindy looks at me and I look at her.

"Well if it isn't Simillia." Mindy says biting the tip of her designer Sun Glasses.

"My name is Samantha." I say while trying to stay calm.

Mindy laughs and points to my bike. "What is that?" She asks.

"Oh I don't know, looks like a piece of metal with two wheels." I say sarcastically.

"Well it's ugly." she growls.

"Yeah it's like so super ugly." one of Mindy's 'followers' says.

They all laugh. Even Jace.

After they all finish there little giggling session. Jace pulls the car away leaving a smoke cloud that blows in my face.

I cough. I roll my eyes then get on the bike and continue to school.

***

When I finally reach school I get off the bike and put it in the bike rack. I walk into school and head to the third floor. I open my locker and put my book bag in I grab my supplies for first period. Then close my locker. As soon as I close my locker. I see Jace.

"What's up Sam?" He says.

"Nothing." I mutter.

"Something wrong?" Jace asks.

"No. I'm fine. But next time try not to blow a cloud of smoke from your car onto my face." I say bluntly.

"I'm so sorry Sam." Jace says.

Never thought I'd hear him apologize.

I cross my arms and look at him.

"Forgive me please?" Jace says softly punching my shoulder.

I frown at him.

He bats his eyes "Pretty please?" He says with a smile growing on his face.

I can't help but smile. "Fine. I forgive you. You loser." I say hiding my smile with a straight face.

I've never gave in so fast in my entire life this boy is a sorcery.

"Yeah right. I'm the loser." Jace says sarcastically.

"What did you just say?" I question seriously.

Jace laughs. "Chill. I was just kidding."

Jace starts walking to class and I trail behind him a little. I stare at the back of his head. His hair is messy but well groomed at the same time. It works for him.

"Aye Jace." I yell.

Since when did I start saying "Aye"?

He turns around.

"Don't ever change my alarm again." I say bluntly.

He grins and nods his head in agreement. But I know he'll probably just do it again.

He turns back around and continues walking to class.

I've never met anyone like Jace before. I guess the saying "Everyone is different." is actually true.
