I woke up to sunlight streaming through the windows. Ugh, I'm going to kill whoever forgot to close the blinds! I groaned and covered my face with my pillow.

"Wake up, Red." As soon as those words registered in my mind, I bolted upright and saw a smirking Wade looking down at me. I looked beside me to find the bed empty, and furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, as Harper was the one sleeping with me in this bed. As if sensing my confusion, Wade cleared it for me.

"She's in the bathroom. Told me to wake you up. Mrs.D told us to be done with breakfast by 8, and it's 7:30 now."

"Okay." With that I got out of bed and went towards where I threw my hand carry as well as luggage. My mom advised to attach the key with a safety-pin and then attach the safety-pin with the inner pocket of the bag, as I had the habit to lose things, quite early. I found the key where I remembered it to be, and blew a sigh of relief upon finding it wasn't yet lost. I detached the key and moved towards my luggage and opened it. After rummaging through the bag for a while, I ended up with with a warm full-sleeves beige shirt, with sea-green and red flowers on it accompanied by jeans-shorts, and decided to pack a long red coat in my hand carry, if it got too cold. When I took out all the necessities, I locked the bag again and re-attached the key and proceeded to put the red coat in the bag. Halfway zipping my bag close, the bathroom door opened and out came Harper, all dressed, with a black knee-high dress, and black stockings. I cat-whistled and she laughed, while performing a twirl. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Aly making a break for the bathroom, and I got up quickly, almost knocking the makeup bag over, and sprinted towards the bathroom. Thankfully, I reached there before him and just as I locked the door, I heard a loud groan and I mentally cheered. I didn't bring any toiletries with me as Harp and I had the same tastes and she already had everything. After taking a bath, I dried myself and put on the new clothing, and didn't blow dry my hair, as I liked them natural. I got out of the bathroom, while passing a glaring Aly, and I just couldn't resist so I stuck my tongue out at him and he went in. After putting on some socks and my shoes, I was ready.

"I'm ready!" I announced and everyone turned towards me. I then realised that the shouting wasn't really necessary and I looked up at them sheepishly.

"No makeup?" Wade asked.

"I hate it." My statement seemed to shock Wade as he widened his eyes. I rolled mine and he stared incredulously at me.

"Most girls don't go out without it."

"I'm not like most girls." I replied.

"Amen to that!" Harper said and I threw a pillow at her. She just laughed and resumed doing her makeup. After 10 minutes, we were all ready with our backpacks on our shoulders and Harper was locking the door. She handed the key to Aly and he took it, holding her hand longer than necessary. She punched his shoulder, but didn't resist the smile that took place on her face. Speaking of romances, looks like one's going to bloom this summer. We went towards the elevator and it opened. An hour later all of the students were done with their breakfast's and the teacher was about to announce something.

"I hope all of you had a good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast! We'll be traveling on foot today, roaming around the local market and whatnot. I advise you to stick together at all times, and not wander off as it'll only delay your trip more. That is all." With that she told us to follow her and we did. I felt a tap on my shoulder to see Wade opening his mouth to say something to me when we were interrupted by the last person I wanted to see right now, accompanied by the second-last person I wanted to see. Felicity Tonks. The queen bee with shorts so high, her bum was most likely be naked, and makeup so much that she practically looked baked in it. Tyler Hank. The school's second most popular boy, and my ex. He cheated on me with some random girl, and has tried multiple times to reconcile, only for me to reject him. I hated both of them with a passion.
