I groaned so loudly when my alarm clock went off that I was positive the neighbors heard it. I hadn't gotten any sleep last night since my brain decided it didn't want to shut down.

I lazily smacked the top of my alarm clock which made one last annoying beep before shutting off. I rolled slightly to the left and fell off my bed with a loud thud. I groaned once again before untangling myself from my blankets and standing up. I rubbed my eyes and walked towards the bathroom. When I got inside I turned the light on, I immediately shut my eyes for a second and opened them once again not being able to see anything I shut the door. When my vision cleared I looked in the mirror. My hair was scattered all over the place and there were bags under my eyes. I looked like a zombie except for there wasn't any blood.

I opened one of the many drawers in the bathroom and pulled out my hair brush. I brushed through all my knotted hair and washed my face before going back into my bedroom. I quickly put on a pair of jeans that had a couple of tears in them before putting my black sweatshirt that said "I'm not lazy I'm just on high energy saving mode" in big white letters, on. I grabbed my black vans and put them on before going back into the bathroom. I pulled my wavy hair up into a messy pony tail before putting some make up on. I quickly went into the kitchen and ate something before brushing my teeth and putting deodorant on. By the time I was done getting ready it was time for me to head to school.

I followed my older brother out the door and climbed into the passenger side before buckling in. He took off down the street as soon as we were settled in the car. I turned the radio up and looked out the window, zoning out and before I knew it we were at school. I grabbed my bag and climbed out of the car, walking over to the front doors of the school. I flung one of the doors open and stumbled to the cafeteria. When I reached our table I dropped my bag on the floor and flopped down into my seat.

"Damn, somebody's tired today." I heard Liz say, from where she sat at the table.

I grumbled in response.

"I hope that means she's not going to be grumpy today." Carmen said.

"Nah she won't be because I won't let her." Jake answered.

"Is that a challenge?" I asked, glancing at him.

"If you want it to be?"

I narrowed my eyes a little. "Fine."

"Fine, what?"

"It's officially a challenge and I will win." I said sternly.

He laughed a little. "Don't be so sure. I've known you for a while. I'm pretty sure I can get you out of a grumpy mood."

"Maybe you should listen to your own advice. Don't be so sure."'

Jake shook his head and looked over at Liz joining in there conversation, leaving me to my grumpy self until the bell rang.

Throughout first period Jake was constantly poking me and trying to get me to at least smile which just led to me being more irritated.

"You know you really suck at making me be happy?" I say as we walk to our next period.

"Hey in my defense that usually cheers you up."

I look up at him with an annoyed expression. "Got any more tricks up your sleeve?"

"Well of course I do!"

I groaned, dramatically. "Kill me now!"

"No, then I would be depressed for the rest of my life." He said, equally dramatic.

My lip lifted a tiny bit which made him smile. "I'm winning."

"No your not." I folded my arms over my chest.

His smile grew. "Yes I am." He reached forward and began to tickle me.

I couldn't hold back my smile or laughter as I about fell and hit the ground, but thankfully Jake caught me.

After a minute he stopped and helped me stand upright. "I win."

I sighed. "Okay, you win."

He smiled.

I smiled back as the tardy bell rang.
