I am not a morning person. I was never a morning person. I will never be a morning person.

"Harley Austin Little," my mom knocked on my locked door, dammit, "so help me God, if I have to knock this door down I will do it. Harley get up!" she yelled through.

"Ugh! Let me have three. Three more minutes mom please!" I covered my head with my pillow. Maybe if I suffocate, I could go to the ER. But what's the one thing worse than school; the ER. 

I dragged my body off the floor and unlocked the door. She wasn't there.

"Harley, go take a shower!" She was downstairs. I smelled toasted frozen waffles.

My dad walked passed me and started the stairs. "Hey slug." He nudged me towards the bathroom door.

"Hey bug." I rolled my eyes and grabbed the bathroom door handle. "Honestly, at this point in my life, I think I want to drop out."

"Yeah, sure, but you know the rules," he replied.

I laugh and enter the bathroom, "first, drop out, then, drop dead."

Ugh.
