Summer '09 (was life)

Chapter Twelve

When I wake up, I roll over and am faced with a snoring Paige. What a wonderful way to wake up, NOT. She's snoring away into my ear, so I lean over and loudly snort in her ear. This wakes her up, and she screams, so the others wake up too. Well I guess now that we are all awake, we might as well get up, we have school anyway.

Oh crap. SCHOOL. Yeah I'm just gonna go in late. The others apparently feel the same way, because they all roll over and go back to sleep, Yeah we are soo gonna get to school on time.

I drag my butt over to my stereo and connect my iPod to it. I set it on shuffle and the song that comes up is, Its Not Your Birthday, by Allstar Weekend. It's strange, how it's on my device but I've never actually heard it before, I mean there are only three hundred something songs on my iPod.

The loud music jolts Kylie awake and the first words out of her mouth are, "What the hell Kate? I know we have school soon but come on, at least wake us up instead of bursting our eardrums."

I argue with her stating the fact that they just rolled over when I attempted to wake them. After five minutes of arguing we come to an agreement, we decided that we'd blast the music in the others ears.

Unfortunately before we can do this, the others wake up.

Soon the room is filled with six teenage girls rushing to get ready. Somehow we all are ready in thirty minutes, including food time.We all get into our respective cars and caravan to school.

We all walk into the office to claim our late passes, which we are handed. Once we have our passes, we all head to class. My class has Adam and Grace in it, so it makes an ok class, I guess.

I slowly open the classroom door and trudge, with my head down, to Mrs. Tyler's desk. She disapprovingly nods at my note, but doesn't say anything about it, which I find strange until I look over my shoulder to see Grace already in her seat.

I quickly walk to my seat by Adam and set my binder down in front of me. Class passes slowly and by the time it's over, and I don't have to hear Mrs. Tyler's droning voice anymore, I'm half asleep. Luckily, lunch is next and I can take a short nap, maybe.

Adam and I walk out of the classroom together, and we head to our respective lockers to grab our lunches. After he has gotten his, he comes over to my locker, so we can walk together. Since we only have our lunches, he entwine our hands.

When we reach the table, all of the others are already there. The others being, the girls and the boyfriends. Paige has Mark, Grace and Luke, Kylie is with James, Abby is dating Colton. Leah has just broken up with her boyfriend, so she's alone at the moment.

The two of us sit besides each other and pull out our food. For once I am glad that I pack my lunch the day before, because I definitely would have forgotten it this morning.

Lunch passes quickly as does the rest of the day. When I walk out to my car, I spot Adam leaning against the door. The first thing I do when I reach him is, give him a huge hug. I don't know why, I just do. I nestle my head into the crook of his neck and just close my eyes. Eventually we pull apart and I stand looking at him expectantly.

Soon he notices that I'm not checking him out, I'm waiting for him to step away from my car door so I can get in. He steps away, but not before asking me, "Are you doing anything tonight, Kate?"

My answer is, "No. I'm going home, doing my homework and am going to take a well needed nap."

He smirks and as I predicted, says, "Well that's what you get for having late night sleepovers on Sunday nights."

I yawn, so I go ahead and get into my car and put the key in the ignition, starting the car. He tells me that he will text me later tonight and, I pull away.

When I get home, I do exactly as I said I would, I do my homework and take my nap. My dreams are filled with unicorns, rainbows, and happiness.
