The Life of Kayleigh [LRH/AFI]

Getting to know

I opened my eyes slowly as the tune of Daylight played blaring and loud from the alarm on my phone, my favourite band 5 Seconds of Summer; what a great way to start the day.

Note the sarcasm, it was the ass crack of dawn and I had school, even as a 17 (almost 18) year old junior in high school I still had to go, finals and everything as summer was right around the corner.

But I'd rather wake up to Daylight than a blaring alarm sound, or The Chainsmokers.....

Pushing the covers off I stood up, groaning as I popped my back.

I, being the lazy relatable teen I am, decided to procrastinate getting dressed and went to do my makeup.

Oh I should probably introduce myself, my name's Kayleigh Sophia Mclayn. Doesn't that just roll off the tongue?

Essentially with my name you might as well nickname me Vanilla with a twist, funny as it is I like my name.

I brushed my teeth quickly as I decided the look I wanted to do today, I almost went 'natural' but fuck that I put effort into my makeup I don't wanna look natural.

I skipped foundation cause to be honest I'm complete shit at it when it's 7 in the morning and I haven't even had my first cup of coffee (Starbucks because as much as I totally hate stereotypes I play into that one) and went straight into doing my eyeshadow primer, doing a flawlessly blended red and black smokey eye in 5 minutes.

I swiped on some neutral pink lipstick and brushed my hair after, leaving the bathroom I got dressed.

With my black jeans and white 5sos shirt I slipped on my black Converse and stuffed a black beanie over my dyed hair.

"Kayleigh time for breakfast, be quick or you'll be late." My mother called up from the kitchen, I quickly rushed down the stairs.

"Morning!" I called cheerily to her, she smiled and greeted me back waving her spatula at me.

"Hey mom I'm leaving early, Lindsay said she's bringing breakfast  with her and she's picking me up early." I gave her a kiss on the cheek as I ran to the door and picked up my backpack.

"You sure honey?" She asked just to make sure, I nodded with a smile.

Soon a honk was heard outside and I called goodbye to my mom and left out the door.

"Get in bitch I've got food." Lindsay yelled to me from the drivers seat.

"Okay!" I said and climbed into the car.

After that we quickly ate our food and drove to school, parting ways as soon as we got inside to go to our respective classes.

When I got into history class my phone buzzed twice, a text from my nearest radio station.

103.7: Hey lucky winner! You just got a ticket to the secret pop up show for 5 Seconds Of Summer down in LA! Reply back with CALM to accept, do decline reply with DONT STOP. To cancel receiving all messages reply with END.

I quickly typed out the reply with shaky fingers and in all caps, my entire body having jitters.

I read the second text coming from Linds and it was a screenshot from the same text as mine to her phone, followed by at least 50 emojis.

Before I could reply another text came through.

Kayleigh was shaking, her breath becoming ragged.
