Poppys POV:

I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I groaned and looked over at my clock on my bedside table. Six bloody 30 in the morning. I let out a scream into my pillow and eventually got up and staggered over to my bathroom. As you may have gathered I was NOT a morning person.

I blinked as I looked at the mirror at the person staring back at me. My brown wavy hair was a birds nest , my eyes looked tired, I had small bags forming under my eyes and to top it off I had smelly breath. I quickly had a shower and brushed my teeth. I blow dried my hair and curled it slightly at the bottom. I walked over to my closet and looked for an outfit. I finally decided on wearing black skinny jeans and my cropped red hoodie over the top. I put on my red converse and lightly did my make up. I applied a bit of mascara, concealer, powder and chapstick. I grabbed my school bag and my phone and I headed down stairs. I saw Liam on the phone leaning against the kitchen counter. I dropped my stuff at the front door and I grabbed some bread and put it in the toaster and I listened into Liams conersation.

" Ok... I'll tell her... bye ... love you."

He put the phone down and turned to me.

"Mom and Dad will be home next week on Saturday ." He grumbled. Our parents were never home. We loved them both but we were left alone a lot due to their demanding jobs. When ever they were home, mom always made the most of it but dad never did. When he wasn't in his office he would lecture us on how we had to focus on school not TV and friends.

My thoughts got cut off as the toast popped up. After eating I grabbed my keys for my car and my stuff and I headed off to school. Liam was on his first year in college and he went to the local one so he only took about 20 minutes to get there.

About 5 minutes later I was in the school parking lot and parked my car in my usual spot. I walked into the school and headed straight to my locker. Not to my surprise Lorina was leaning against the locker next to mine smiling at me.

I walked over to her and opened my locker as she started talking about the new celebrity gossip. I didn't really like the gossip so I just answered in the right places as I got my books.

"- Can you believe that?" she finished. I turned to her and smile and say:

" No way"

As she was about to start talking I checked my phone and realised I had 1 minute and 51 seconds to get to my first class that takes at least 3 minutes to get too.

" Hey Lorina I have to go I am gonna be late." I apologized.

"No problem I gotta go now anyway, meet you at the usual spot for lunch" She shouted as she walked the oppisite way I was going. I pratically ran to my classroom and just as I reached the door the bell went. Great, I guess I will be spending after school in the detention room, I thought.

I slowly opened the door and everyones eyes were on me.

" Miss. Light, why are you late " the teacher asked. I could feel my face start going red.

" Er... M-my alarm c-clock b-broke" I stuttered. Great going Poppy, I thought to myself.

" Detention after school" she shouted and I quickly rushed to my seat, my head was low in embarrassement.

Soon the dreaded morning ended and I was about to meet up with Lorina. I saw her accross the cantine and waved. I grabbed my food, containing: A ham sandwhich, apple and a can of coke.

I sat my tray down on the table and sat on the uncomfortable bench and sighed.

"What?" Lorina said.

"Detention"

"What, why?"

" Late for class" I mumbled.

" Oh, it could of been worse" she said.

One thing you needed to know is that I had never gotten a detention and I was a senior in high school. I was planning to try to keep that record but I broke it... oh well.

Lunch ended and not long after school did. I walked over to the detention room and opened the door. What I saw before my eyes was just ... disgusting. Why did it always have to be me who walked in at the wrong time??
