Winnie's POV

     I had a dream I was in a forest, I could hear a strange melody playing. It sound strange but familiar, like I've heard it before in some distant memory. This feels strange I cant seem to control my body. I started walking forward but I wasn't doing it out of my on freewill. I kept trying to stop myself out of fear of hurt myself. Wait what is tha-  BEEEEP BEEEEEP BEEEEP BEEEEP

  I awoke with a start trying to figure out what was going on, then my eyes landed on my phone it was 6:05am. OH SH*T I HAD SLEPT IN. No, no, no I have get ready quickly before my ride gets here. Umm, what to wear? What to wear?! Oh! I know! I thought to myself as I looked around frantically for my tights, skirt, a white shirt and a black hoodie.

   As I quickly put on my clothes and ran to the living to put on my small dress shoes and grabbed my bookbag. I looked at my phone and saw that it was 6:12am. Somehow I manage to get dressed quickly on days that I wake up late, but take long on days that I wake up early on. Well my ride isn't going to get here till 6:30, so I have some time. A horrible realization struck me as I realized I hadn't brushed my hair. I ran around looking for the brush, ugh if I keep this up I'll be in perfect shape for the Olympics.

    I ran past my parent's room and thought maybe it was in there, I slowly opened opened the door and saw that they were asleep so I tipped-toed inside. I heard someone moving so I turned quickly and I saw my mom moving, she sat up and in a sleepy voice asked me,"What are you doing in here?"

  "Well..", I said shyly," You wouldn't happen to see the hairbrush anywhere, would you?"

  "Weren't your sisters playing salon with it yesterday? Have you checked downstairs?" She responded

  "Oh right! Thanks mommy!" I responded I quickly ran over to kiss her on the cheek and ran out of her room downstairs.

   I was downstairs looking the bathroom and found it. I looked in the mirror and saw my short hair had a huge knot in it. I brushed my hair till it was back to normal it shortself, well it was up my chin but not cut in the form of a Bob. I checked my phone for the time and saw that it was only 6:20, yes I have time for breakfast I thought. As I was going upstairs I saw my brothers old room door open, so being the curious idiot I was I walked in and I saw Ben playing video games.

  "Umm, Ben why are you awake so early?" I asked quietly

  He looked over at me and said,"I should ask you the same thing?"

  "I have school" I responded

  "Oh yeah," he said eyes still glued to the screen, "Have a nice day at school"

  "Ben try not to get seen by my mom or dad"

  "Don't worry I won't get caught" he said nonchalantly

  "Ben its cause my mom tends to come down here to do the laundry and its just-"

    Ben interrupted me by walking up to me he patted my head and smiled saying,"Don't worry I'll be OK"

    I just nodded smiling back and said,"Thanks, well I have to go"

  I walked back up the stairs and Ben stood there at the doorway watching me till I was out of sight.

   I ate breakfast and in the middle of it my ride came so I had to go. I picked up my bookbag and ran out the door and into my best friend Jessie moms car. My friends mom gave us a ride to the bus stop because both of our parents didn't let us walk to the bus stop because when we had to go to school it was still really dark out. I find that silly but my mom doesn't. I just waited there in awkward silence for the bus to come as I watched Jessie and her mom argue.

   I felt so relieved when I saw the bus pull up. Me and Jessie got off and went on the bus, we sat at the seat we always sit. I looked over at Jessie I wanted to ask her what it was all about but I knew better than to ask because Jessie tends to tell me after I ask,"That's for me to know, not you."

   Though I just couldn't stand the sight of seeing Jessie so upset I asked her, "Hey are you OK?"

She gave me a frustrated look and ran her hand through her long curly, brown hair. Then she finally spoke,"My mom wouldn't let me have a boyfriend" she said, then she started smiling to herself,"Well suck for her because I already have one"

  "Ummm, Jessie isn't it bad to lie to your parents" I responded shyly

  "No" She said with absolutely no hesitation, "Sometimes its necessary or else they just get to controlling"

  "Oh, OK" I said quietly

   Jessie looked over at me and said,"We need to get you a boyfriend "

    Uh, oh was my first thought
