Apart

Chapter 1-Avery's P.O.V

Everyday is the same. Starts the same, ends the same. There's an irritating ring to the left of my bed, and then there's a crash as everything falls over while I'm trying to turn off my alarms.
Although, today seemed different.
When I checked the time, my alarm was hours early(or, one hour). I'd set it for 6am instead of 7.
My parents would be so mad if I didn't get up, if I went back to sleep, but that didn't stop me from lying in my bed for at least another half an hour.
Instead of getting up like a normal, civilised person, I opted for the option of simply rolling onto my floor. This way-I get to keep my blankets and I don't have to get up properly.
I would have to stand up eventually-and I did-but that wouldn't stop me from crawling to the bathroom, blankets in tow.
Once I was dressed, it was 7am.
I actually had time for breakfast!
But... I didn't know what to have, which leads to how I was discovered standing in the middle of the kitchen at 8. I'd stood there, thinking, for an hour. Now I barely had time for food, but that didn't bother me.
I decided today was the day-the day I'd try coffee again.
It's been a couple of years(I first tried it when I was 12, and I hated it. I'm 16 now.), so maybe Ill like it now.
It's worth a shot, I guess.
I plugged in the kettle, and switched it on. It was already filled with water.
As I waited for that to boil, I went searching for the coffee. I found some, and chucked it into a cup with some hot chocolate stuff-that way, if it was disgusting, I could disguise the taste with chocolate.
By the time I had finished making that and grabbed my stuff, I was running late.
I had to sprint to the bus stop in order to catch the bus. Lucky for me, I have a friend who gets on before me. She stopped the bus.
Reminder:Thank Leigh
I stepped on, and found my way to a seat, sitting down in front of Leigh. Our bus was pretty empty, as usual, so we all got two seats to ourselves. Which is how I was able to sit with my feet up, while talking to Leigh, on the bus to school.
I thanked her, and then asked if she felt like something was weird today. She didn't. Maybe I was imagining it. Maybe I wasn't.
I can't say for certain that I imagined the feeling, but I can't deny it either.
I shrugged it off, in time to hear Leigh rambling about how she convinced a boy in our year that she had laser eyes, and if he didn't watch out-she'd get him.
If only I'd known that the feeling, it was the feeling of my life changing. Forever.
