As soon as I got home, I called Bailey, and after ending the call I saw that I had a text. I recognized the number, but didn't quite know who it belonged to.

tomorrow after school meet me by the front gate and we can head to my house together -marcus

I quickly saved the number under the name 'Marcus Bieber', and typed a reply.

To Marcus Bieber:

i'll be there

My response was short and simple. I didn't feel like having a conversation with him, especially since I was tired from school today.

Shutting off my phone, I looked over at the clock. It read '18:48 pm'. It was still early, but I was tired, so I decided to take a nap.

Getting out of bed, and stripping myself of the clothes I had worn to school, I entered my walk-in closet and found something more comfortable; my pajamas, which consisted of a long sleeved white shirt and plaid shorts.

Hopping into them, I dragged my feet across the room and back to the bed. I lifted up the covers, sliding in, and sandwiching myself in between them and the mattress. I closed my eyes and began to imagine different scenarios of how tomorrow could play out.

                                                            ****  

My eyes fluttered open, only to be met with the pitch black. Shuffling to the other side of my king sized bed, and out-stretching an arm, I flicked the switch of the light that balanced on top of the bedside table. Immediately, the whole room was illuminated with its light.

I squinted, to sheild my eyes from the brightness. The clock now read '05:09 am'. I had slept far longer than I had planned.

Groaning, I sat up and swung my legs out of the bed. I stretched, then slowly walked over to my walk-in closet and picked out an outfit for school. I picked up a pair of ripped, washed out denim shorts and a flowing, white, sleeveless top and put them on the end of my bed along with some clean underwear. I waltzed across my room, grabbed a towel and continued into my ensuit bathroom.

It was silent and dark. Everyone was asleep. I tried my best not to make any sudden movements that would result in loud noises.

I re-entered my room, only being covered by the cotton material of the towel, which I had wrapped myself in after the shower. Glancing at the clock as I walked in, I read '06:32 am'. School wouldn't be starting for another three hours.

Realizing this, I sat down on my bed and recovered my phone from its position on the nightstand. For the next half hour or so, I flicked through social networking sites; Twitter, Tumblr and occasionally Facebook, even though I barely used it, and eventually ended up watching Youtube and Vine videos for another half hour.

The clock on my phone told me that it was now '07:46 am' which meant it was time for me to get ready for school. I slid off my bed, still just in a towel, and picked up my clothes from the end of it. Quickly changing, I went downstairs to get myself some breakfast. I made myself some cereal, returning back upstairs, after eating it, to brush my teeth.

By this time, everyone in the house was awake and rushing around to get ready for work and school. My mom was in the main bathroom, also brushing her teeth.

"Morning, sweetheart." She chirped upon my arrival.

"Morning, mom." I responded, grabbing my toothbrush from next to the sink and beginning to brush my teeth.

"Did you sleep well?"

"Great, thanks. What about you?"

"As well as I could with your father and his snoring." She rolled her eyes.

"I heard that!" Came the voice of my dad, who was walking down the hallway.

We both smiled, our giggles filling the room. "Oh yeah, mom." I spat out the toothpaste. "I'm going out after school."

"Where are you going, honey?"

"Um, just out shopping with Bailey." I lied. I couldn't have her knowing that I was failing Chemistry.

"Great." She finished, washing out her toothbrush and putting it down. "Just don't be back too late. Have fun and get something nice. Call me if you need anything." She kissed my forehead and walked out.

I stood fixing my hair, which had gone wavy due to being wet in the shower, thinking about where I was actually going to be after school. The thought made me nervous, I didn't know what to expect.

In any case, today should be eventful.
