I woke up with a start. Music was playing somewhere. I tried to find the source of the annoying tune with my eyes still closed but eventually gave in. I grabbed my phone to turn off the alarm. 7:25!! I only had five minutes to get ready in time for the bus. Three if you count getting to the bus stop. I scrambled out of bed and slipped on my uniform shirt from yesterday. I looked around desperately for my school pants. After rummaging through my laundry bag, I settled for a pair of semi-clean black tights. My English teacher wouldn't be happy but it would have to do. I snatched a head band from my dresser and ran outside. I was halfway down my driveway when I realised I had forgotten my bag. A stitch on my side burned but I ignored it as I sped around the corner. The bus was just coming in to site. I sighed in relief.
"Hey Luce!" My stomach dropped when I heard the familiar voice. I hesitated, making up my mind. Should I sit with them? Could I just sit here without them noticing? Too late. Sam was ushering me over and patting the seat next to them. What do I say? I thought as I sunk reluctantly into my usual seat. My head was spinning. Well they don't know that I know. I could just pretend that I don't know anything. No, I couldn't do that. It'd be too weird. I should just let Sam know. I opened my mouth. The words thankfully faded when Sam said, "Want me to do your hair again?" I felt guilty for the silent breath of relief I had let out. I'd have to tell Sam at some point. But not then. Ideally not ever.
