We fall asleep like that, the TV still on and Anthony still holding me.

I roll out of bed a put on a cute PINK brand shirt and my matching sweatshirt. I pull on army green leggings and silently slip on my boots. Is 5 am, and I decided to walk to school and study and do homework. I leave a note on the counter, along with texting my parents later, and hope that they don't get nervous or anything. I walk out the door and head toward the school. I pass Rileys apartment building on the way there, and see him in the window. He quickly pulls it open and calls down to me.

"Hey, you're up early. I'm headed down in a couple minutes. Want me to buzz you up?" He asks and I speak over the low roar of the early city. "Sure, be right up." I say, then bound up the stone steps as the receptionist points me to his apartment. I step in and sit on the dark wooden chairs in his kitchen. He pulls on a swetshirt, then swings his bag over his shoulder. He swings his arm over my shoulder and we make our 2ay down the steps. We take the cold, 30 minute walk to the school, arriving at 6:45. We head into the small Aux gym, spreading out our stuff to study.

We put out things away around 7:10, when the gym begins to fill up, and sit with our friends. We all have like, 5 tests today, so Riley and I came early to study. We head out to our lockers and I find Riley again, taking our short time in homeroom to study again. We nervously head to our first hour, hoping we both do decently on our tests.

After we finish our first 5 hours of school, then head to lunch. I wait ten minutes in line, then get my food. I sit with my friends and we talk for a while, mostly about the tests, because we're all in the same hour 6 class, meaning we've all taken them. We're all fairly confident in how we've done, so now we just have to wait for our scores to come back. We all pack up the leftover food we saved for rehearsal and head to hour six, which is easy compared to the tests we took. It's mostly reviews and questions, then we take a quiz. Our Social Studies teacher only gives tiny quizzes, with two multiple choice questions, 3 short answers, and then we have to name certain states on a map.

We all gather our things at the end of the day, split up and go to our lockers. We then all get back together again, opening the 2 lunchboxes that we stuffed our shared snacks into. We sit in our regular seats in the front corner, eating and laughing. We've finally finished all of the choreography and blocking, so we are doing a full run-through today. It's pretty easy, each person only asks a line once, and it's normally just wording that their confused on. Our director is extremely pleased and ecstatic.

When we reach the part where Riley has to kiss me, it's kinda funny. Everyone was staring, but it was nice. I 'woke up' and it was funny, watching everyone rip their eyes from us to focus on blocking. We finish, and it's one of the few times our director doesn't hold us late. She quickly congratulates us on doing so well, then let's us go. We all quickly change, then say goodbye. I walk out to Anthony's car and sit in the back, jazz in the front. "How'd the tests go?" Anthony asks, looking at me in the rear view. "Pretty well, I think I got then all right." I reply and they both nod.

We head home and do our normal Monday night routine, eat, homework, dance, sleep. I smile through it all though, loving every moment.
