Dreaming Of(f) You

**Chapter Five**

**Chapter 5**

I wake up in the middle of the night and find myself lying in bed with my econ notes sprawled out all over my bed. The light on my nightstand is still on as well. I groan and stand up, but by doing so my computer falls off the bed and onto my floor. I curse silently so that I won't wake my parents.

"Shit, shit, shit. Oh please don't be broken," I let out a silent prayer to God, and hope for the best. I pick up my laptop and thankfully I only find a small dent at the edge of it.

"Oh thank God," I let out my breath and sigh in relief.

I place it on my desk and walk back to my bed in order to organize the mess of papers. Once I've done that, I go to the bathroom to brush my teeth since I fell asleep yesterday directly after finishing my assignment for econ. My thoughts travel to Alex and how I wanted him to kiss me. Although he is rude at times, I just know that I am extremely attracted to him. My thoughts now wander to how it will be when he picks me up for school. Will he be rude? Or will he be nice to me and all smirky?

I yawn and decide to not think about that right now and rather go to bed so that I will get a little more sleep. Looking at the clock it reads 2:56 a.m. meaning I have to get up in about four hours. I set my alarm, turn my light off and find myself falling asleep in an instant.

The alarm goes off, which pulls me out of my dreams and brings me back to reality. I roll over and press the snooze button, only five more minutes. Five minutes later my alarm goes off again, but I just don't feel like waking up yet so I press snooze once again.

I wake up to someone knocking on my door.

"Skylar?" I hear my mom from outside the door.

"Yeah?" I mumble and then the realization hits me like a truck.

"Fuck!" I reach for my alarm and see the time in horror striking 8 a.m.! By now I should be ready to be picked up by Alex. I must've pressed stop instead of snooze on my alarm. Once again, I curse loudly.

My mom comes into my room and begins talking, "there is a boy at the door waiting to pick you up, should I tell him that you still need time?"

"Yes, tell him five minutes" I race to my closet and grab the first things I find.

I curse under my breath and run to my bathroom. How could this happen? I stare at my own reflection in the mirror and begin to panic, my hair is a mess, and a big pimple decided to grow on my nose, making me look like Rudolph. Frustration takes over, but I quickly recover. I grab my dry shampoo and cover my hair with it. After, I do a messy bun that sits on top of my head, but some loose strands stick out and frame my face, but for now, I don't care. I apply three layers of concealer to cover that bastard of a pimple up. Looking at my clock I only have one minute to go downstairs. I quickly undress and get dressed again. I cringe when I see my outfit, being blue Jeans and a pink hoodie from Victoria's Secret. Oh well, this will have to do. I brush my teeth and rush downstairs, almost tripping over the last steps. I grab an apple, my bag, and race to the door half screaming half breathing a goodbye to my parents. I swing open the door and almost fall over Alex who is sitting on the few steps that lead up to my entrance door.

"Woah, watch it!" he laughs.

"I am so sorry, I completely overslept!" I rush my words, still being out of breath.

He takes in my appearance and raises one of his eyebrows, scanning my outfit.

"I see that" he smirks.

"Do you want me to change and be even later to school?"

"No, it's fine. Not because I care about being on time for school, but because I don't want to wait any longer" and with that, we walk to his car and drive to school.
