Gwen's POV

'Ring! Ring!, Whack!'

"Shut up,and let me sleep!"

"Its time to get you lazy ass out of bed. now move it!" says the alarm tone.

I really need to change that alarm.But first I should probably get out of bed.

"Whump!"

"Ahhh shit!" I fell out of bed again.

I am really not a morning person. I peek through the cutains, only to find the dark early morning staring back at me. I feel a smile play on my face. I've always liked the dark better than the light, but unfortunately I have school in the light with all the creatures of light.

I feel the smile drop from my face and is replaced with a scowl. I quickly shake it off when I remember why I woke up at 6am.

"Crap, I should go get ready."

I tug on my gym clothes, pack my swimsuit in my backpack, grab a shake, and I'm out the door in 10 minutes flat.

As I go out the door I call

"I'm off!" into the empty house.

I shake my head, why do I even do that? Its not like there's anyone to hear me, I live alone. I've always lived alone, I've always been alone.

As I think this I remember the blood on the rug of the tiny bedroom that I'd killed my family in. The looks on their faces when I took the final blow.

Wait, why am I thinking about this now?

I quickly shake the thought from my head and begin my run towards the dojo.

Dante's POV

There he is again, I know because of his blonde slicked back hair that only just covers the top of his neck. His head comes into view, and I can see his insanely long sideburns that look like their dripping down his face.

I'm trying really hard not to stare as he curls his goate with his pinke, it makes you wana rip it off just to see his reaction. Though I know he can see me through the window I try not to look like I've seen him already. I must have been pretty convincing because he was taking this moment when I supposedly when I wasn't looking to dip his head down to inspect the contents of his nose in the car's side mirror.

God he must have like a million nosehairs in there!

They even have snot running through them!

Seeing this, he digs through his poket to find a discustingly filthy hanke, and, making a noise like a blowhorn he blows his oh so shinny nose, then he looks to see what he's found.

I hope it was buried treasure so he can get some proper medicine for his constipation...

Shit! Now he's at the door.

'Knock, knock, knock!'

I go to open the door for the prick.

"Hey son, howya doing?"

He's putting on that forced smile. well lets see how you like this.

"Oh hey phill, so did you get that medicine for your little problem yet? I saw you looking in your nose for any signs in our car mirror." I tried to sound helpful.

"Oh you saw that did you?" He's still smiling but I can see he's finding it harder. Oh, now his eyebrows twitching!

Looking for an escape he says "Um, I might go and use your bathroom."

"Ok,but just remember to double flush this time!" I call."You left your business in there last time. Don't let it happen again." I say with a smile on my face.

He turns away from me but I can see his face is beet red, he practicly sprints up the stairs.

"Oh honey, is phill here yet?" my mother asks, her voice as spooth as honey.

Where the hell did she come from? And how does she just appear like that?

"Ya he just got here, he's in the bathroom right now."

"Oh.Well then he might be awhile,do you want some tea?"

"What kind?" I say suddenly interested now that we wern't talking about that loser.

"Rovoice.Its a kind of African tea." I smile. She's always trying new types of tea, our tea set colection was legenary. Neighbours were frequently coming over for tea with my mom.

"Sure. But I want the blue teacup!" I point to my favorite teacup.

"Of course!" she says,with a beaming smile.

I watch her as she expertly makes the tea. Then finished she hands me my cup.

"Anything interesting happening at school?" she asks.

"No nothing much really." I answer.

"Hey that smells good!" phill declares walking into the room,

"But we really gotta get going!"

Mom looks sadly into her unfinished tea and says " Well I guess I have to go, Have a good day at school Dante!" and looks up at me smileing.

She gets up to go out and I see her glance at the implaced tea set.

"Don't worry I'll put it away." I reasure her.

She gives me a big smile and is out the door. I stare at phill, daring him to try and make a move. He gives me a mischivious grin and I show him the finger.

After they've gone I start putting away the tea set and get my things together for school.
