Monday, two days later:

*Beep, Beep, Beep*

"Shut up!" I chucked my pillow at my alarm, after hearing it go off, and off, and off.  It didn't stop ringing, causing me to get really frustrated with it. I sat up properly and slammed it off, huffing and blowing my hair out of my face. 

After rubbing my eyes, yawning and scratching my neck, I looked at the time and noticed it was around six-thirty. I rolled my eyes and rolled out of bed, going into my bathroom for a quick shower. 

After having a nice, refreshing, but quick shower, I placed some light makeup onto my face. I dried my body and slipped into my uniform, that I brought in with me. I walked out of the bathroom and quickly slipped on my shoes, becoming more late for school. 

I stood up, noticing I still didn't do my hair. I rolled my eyes and quickly parted my hair, French plaiting it. I grabbed my school bag once it looked well presented, and headed down the stairs down to the kitchen. 

As I walked into the kitchen, mum and dad were making some lunches and pancakes to eat this very morning. I smiled at everyone and placed my bag down onto the floor. 

"Good morning you two," I quickly gave mum and dad a hug. "Morning sweetie," Dad chuckled and gave me a kiss on the forehead; which I smiled as a response. 

"How are you this morning?" Mum placed some pancakes down onto and plate and pushed it forward along the counter. "Alright. Just hope today won't be a bad day," I shrugged and sat down onto a stool. 

"It won't, I promise you," Mum winked at me; placing more pancakes onto another plate. "So how was the little holiday Sky?" I asked Sky, as she came zipping around the corner and jumping up onto the stool next to me. 

"Good! Papa was really funny," She grabbed her plate of pancakes; as her eyes lit up from the sight. "Really? What was he saying?" I took a bite out of my pancakes, smiling at how cute she was being. 

"Funny things about horses," She took a big bite out of her pancake, and started giggling. "That sounds funny," I giggled at her response. 

"Dad can we take the car?" Nash came into the kitchen, flicking his hair everywhere. "No, you got drunk at a party that you shouldn't of gone too," He stopped making the lunches and looked sternly at Nash.

"Dad!" Nash groaned, rolling his eyes. "Nash," Dad narrowed his eyes down at Nash, having this weird vibe in his tone. 

"Sorry," Nash sat down on a stool and started pouting. "Dad, please?" I spoke up, seeing Nash's head pop up. "Maddie, you know what he did wrong," He started to look at me. 

"But-," I placed my fork down. "No but's Maddie," Dad walked out of the kitchen, sipping on his coffee. 

"Dang it," I mumbled, shaking my head. "Don't worry, just take the bus," Mum smiled, like she doesn't know what goes on in there. 

"Yeap," I rolled off my seat, "I'm going to brush my teeth," I placed my plate into the sink. "Okay," Mum smiled, watching me walk off. 

I ran up the stairs and quickly made it down to the bedroom. Once I got into my bathroom, I quickly brushed my teeth and made sure my braces shone. After brushing my teeth, I ran back down the stairs to the kitchen to pick up my school bag. 

"Let's go," I spoke to Nash and Hayes, as I got out of the kitchen; flinging the back onto my back. 

They nodded as an response and stood up, flinging their bags onto their backs. I opened the door up and allowed them to go through first, with me going in behind and closing the door behind us.
