I yawned. Shawn and I had fallen asleep after taking the bullets out of each other. I was sleeping on my bottom bunk, Chester was sleeping at my feet. I heard Shawn snoring above me. I looked around my room. It looked brighter. My band posters were shining and I could see the outline of the Sun on my TV. My phone was still in my pocket. I checked it.

7:30

I punched the bed above me with my bad arm, wincing.

"Shawn wake up.", I screamed.

"Why?", he grumbled.

"We're late.", I said.

"For what?", he asked.

"For school, dumb.", I said jumping out of bed, throwing things out of my closet. Jeans and a Suicide Squad t-shirt.

"No, it's probably like 11.", Shawn said.

"Check your phone.", I said. I heard him roll over.

"Oh my god. Why didn't you wake me up earlier?!", he screamed.

"I just woke up. That's why.", I said. Shawn jumped off the bed, wincing.

"Your a dumb. You're legs hurt, idiot.", I said.

"Someone's mad.", Shawn said.

"I'm not mad, I'm just in a rush.", I said.

"I'm borrowing some of your clothes.", Shawn screamed from the closet.

"Ok, just hurry up.", I screamed. We got out of the house in 5 minutes and jumped into the car. We spend down the road, and got to school in 10 minutes. We pulled int0 our spot when I got a call from my mom. I answered it.

"Hey mom.", I said.

"Where are you?"

"At school.", I said.

"How come I just got a call from the school saying yo skipped 1st period."

"Shawn spent the night last night, because his house got paint yesterday.", I lied.

"That doesn't explain why you didn't go to 1st period."

"We overslept.", I said as we walked toward the school, "We just got here, when you called."

"Ok.", my mom said. She sounded disappointed.

"Sorry, mom.", I said.

"This is why I don't want you living alone.", she started.

"Sorry mom I got to go.", I lied.

"Oh, ok sweetie. I love you."

"I love you, too.", I said. She hung up. We walked to the Student Center.

"Who are you?"

"Mario Johnson and Shawn Gomez."

"Why are you late?"

"We both overslept."

"Ok, go to class.", the teacher said.

"Thank you.", I said. We both walked to class. We walked to Shawn's class laughing about our current situation.

"Bye.", I said.

"I'll see ya at lunch or after school, or whenever.", Shawn said.

"After school, I got lunch detention.", I said.

"Ok, bye.", Shawn said. And with that we parted ways.

I ran over to the turn in basket, to turn in my group assignment. The bell rung, second before I got there. I put it in the basket, before my teacher noticed.
