Chapter 15,

Tuesday, a day later:

"Come on Maddie!" Sammy turned my alarm clock off and pulled me out of bed.

I landed on the floor, with my eyes still closed. I slowly fluttered my eyes open, to see Sammy peering over top of me. I rubbed my eyes and slowly pulled myself, shaking my head so I could wake up. 

"Why do I have to go to school? I don't even go there anymore," I walked over to Sammy and started whacking him; my voice croaky. "It'll be fun," Sammy got a hold of my hands and forced me to stop whacking him. 

"Yeah, school, fun!" I rolled my eyes, raising an eyebrow. "Right I'll let you get dressed while I do the pancakes," Sammy chuckled and patted my cheeks.

"Yep," I rubbed my face and felt his arms escape from mine. 

He walked over to the door, just as I did. He walked out, as I closed the door and locked it. I moved my body over to my suitcase, grabbing some ripped baggy jeans out with a white crop top; that had pretty flower prints all over it. I grabbed some black socks along with my white vans, chucking all my items onto my bed. 

I took my pjs off, placing it into the suitcase and closing it up. I placed my clothes on and walked over to the bathroom, with my toothbrush and tooth paste. I quickly brushed my teeth and braces, placing my makeup onto my face afterwards. After I made myself look some what pretty, I styled my hair into a half up, half down but with a messy bun. 

I picked up my toothbrush, tooth paste and extras, exiting the bathroom. I opened my suitcase back up and chucked my items in, closing the suitcase back up. I sat down onto my bed and chucked my socks and shoes on, fitting the shoes tightly. 

I grabbed the backpack that Kayleigh left behind, chucking a grey Nike jumper in there just in case it got cold. I picked up my phone that was laying on my bed, placing it into my back pocket. Then I took myself out of the bedroom, while placing the backpack onto my back. I made my way down the stairs, walking into the kitchen as I followed the divine smell. 

I sat down onto a stool and face palmed my forehead, as I remembered I brushed my teeth before breakfast. Oh well, I can always brush them afterwards. 

"Smells good Sam," I chucked my bag onto the floor and looked up at him, folding my arms upon the bench. "Thank you," Sammy placed some pancakes onto my plate and pushed it towards me. 

"Chocolate chip pancakes, my favourite," I grabbed a knife and fork from the side and smiled up towards Sammy. "That's why I made them," Sammy sat down next to me and smiled. 

We both finished our pancakes, quickly running off to the bathrooms to brush our teeth. The pancakes were alright, just had a hint taste of mint which wasn't very pleasant. I ran back downstairs and made my way over to the kitchen, picking up my school bag. 

"Ready?" Sammy asked me, as I made my way back into the front room. "Mhm," I placed the backpack over my shoulders and nodded towards him.

Sammy nodded and opened up the door, allowing me to go out first. I thanked Sammy and waited for him to get through, walking off with him afterwards. We walked down to the bus stop, meeting Kayleigh who looked so out of it. 

"Hello," I nudged Kayleigh and smiled up at her. "Hi," She shook her head and smiled down upon me. 

"Hi I believe we haven't met, my name is Maddie," I shook this guys hand, thinking it's Sammy's friend. "We have met," He chuckled, letting go of my hand; making me furrow my eyebrows.
