The sound of my alarming blaring caused me to groan. I reach over slamming my hand down on my alarm. I was not ready for another day of school but I had to go. Sitting up, I rubbed the sleep out of my eye, only to open them and let out a scream.

"Sorry, sis I didn't mean to scare you. I was just checking to make sure you were feeling better, or if you needed to stay home today." I almost threw my pillow at my brother for startling me like that. Who just sits there on someone's bed waiting for them to wake up... Actually a face comes to mind.

Wait, feeling better? Oh yeah, I went home from school early yesterday. I wanted to say no I wasn't feeling better and just lay back down but I was going to have to go back to school eventually. The sooner the better in this case since it was only going to get worse from here.

"I'm feeling a lot better just let me get ready." He nodded and walked out of my room, shutting the door behind him. I got out of bed, reluctantly and dragged myself over to my closet. This will probably be the last outfit I pick out. I tell myself I'm being over dramatic, but due to the fact that at first I was dealing with Cindy.

Now, I was dealing with Alison. A completely unfamiliar territory and if the rumors were true I was doomed. Maybe I could transfer schools? "Ding ding." I hear my phone going off, I reach over to grab it off my dresser and see that I have a bunch of missed calls and texts from 'Em.

Em; Yooo girly where are you?

Em; HELLLOOOOOO??????

Em; Are you okay? Answer me, please??

Em; Don't make me come over there and kick your butt

Em; I swear you have like 10 minutes before I come get you

Em; You have 2 minutes left ARIA MARIE NOVA

Me; SORRY I Just woke up! I should have woken up earlier and texted you

Em; Dang you are just now getting up? You have like 20 mins to get ready for school; you feeling okay girl? The last message I got was *Sorry not feeling good leaving early from school will talk to you tomorrow* Like what the heck is up with that?

Me; Yeah, I will have to explain it all to you when we get to school but don't worry I am feeling better

Em; You're coming to school today?

Me; Yeah where else would I be? :P

Em; Yay I missed my BFF ): You better hurry your butt to school Missy ^^

Me; All right dork

Em; Yay see you soon (;

I sat my phone back down on my dresser and hurried back to my task of getting ready. I don't pay too much attention to my outfit, just grabbing my favorite black sweater and a pair of jeans because well if I am going to be murdered today I might as well go out comfortable right? I rush down the stairs on my way towards the door when I hear a noise come from the kitchen and then a voice I'm not used to hearing in the morning anymore.

"Hi, Honey, before you go come in here and grab something to eat." I'm shocked because my mother is never home in the morning, she's usually the first one out the door for everything. "Hi, mom, what are you doing at home? Shouldn't you already be at work?" I walk around the corner to see my mom all dressed up like she usually is for work, but, yet here she is. Don't get me wrong it's not like I am not happy to see her because I am. It's just you could say this is out of character for her these days.

"Well, I am going into work a little late this morning. I have a lunch thing with someone to go over some stuff." Wait, what? She's going to work late for a lunch thing? She's never done that before. "Oh uh well alright I should get going, also I may be home a bit late." She smiled walking over to me and giving me a hug. "Alright, dear, just make sure you grab something to eat at school and be careful, I love you."
