Lizzy's POV:

Ugh, Monday. I. Hate. Mondays. Well, hate is a strong word, so I would have to say strongly dislike. But who cares, the point is, I don't like Mondays. They meant that the weekend was over. So, when I was younger, I decided that I didn't like Mondays. Except that one year in 5th grade when Art was on Monday, I only liked Mondays for that one hour and a half that year.

I groan as I reach over to my bedside table. I find the alarm clock and hit the snooze button. I end up hitting it too hard and it falls to the ground and pieces fly everywhere.

Note to self: Get a new alarm clock after school. That's the third time

this month. I also need to remember to stop buying such cheap alarm clocks. I pull myself out of my bed and pick up the pieces of the broken clock and set them on top of my bed. I walk over to my windows and pull back the shades, blinded by the light coming through the thin glass I squint my eyes and turn around, walking over to my closet. I open the door, pulling out my outfit for the day. When I turn, I am looking at myself in the body mirror attached to the inside of my closet door. I. Look. Horrible. There are bags under my eyes because I couldn't sleep last night, so I was looking around on Instagram and watching vines on my account all night. My hazel eyes are sitting on top of the bags, almost closed and have a bunch of annoying eye gunk in the corners, I rub my eyes, and get rid of all the gunk with a tissue. When I'm done, I look up and my attention is immediately drawn to the big mop of hair on my head. My thick, wavy, light brown hair is no longer in the messy bun I had it in last night, it is now all over the place, half the hair had fallen out and was dangling around my face. My long side bangs are everywhere also, parts are slicked back and other parts are on different sides of my head. I definitely need to fix this.

I take a quick shower, then braid my hair into a loose interpretative braid, not bothering to dry it, then get dressed and brush my teeth. As I head to my bedroom door I stop I front of my mirror and look at my reflection, I nod in approval and move to the door. I dip down as I pass my backpack and swing it into my shoulder.

As I walk into the kitchen, I notice that I am the last one ready. The twins, Nora and Alexis are already sitting at the counter eating, my mom is cooking more bacon and my dad is sitting at the table on his phone. I hug my mom and grab a few pieces of bacon as I leave, next is the twins and then dad, then I head out the door. I am so late. I hope I don't miss the bus.

The bus is pulling up right as I reach the corner on my longboard. I stop the board, pick it up, then jump into the bus.

I see Becca right away sitting in our usual seat right in the middle of the bus. Becca is my best friend. Right when I moved here, she came up to me and was so nice. We found out that we had a lot in common and ended up becoming really good friends. And yes. She is the only good friend I have made so far since I moved from Nebraska here to North Carolina... in kindergarten. I know sad. I had a lot of friends in my old school though, but it's just so different here. The people are different. The shops are different. Everything is just so different. But anyway, ever since that first day of kindergarten, Becca and I have been best friends, but the thing is, she is only in 3 of my 8 classes every day. So I am pretty much bored out of my Mind during the other 5.

I drop down into my seat and smile at Becca she smiles back at me but her smile pretty much fills her whole face. She looks so excited that I actually jump in my seat because I'm so surprised. I can tell she is waiting for me to ask what's up so I do. She lets out a breath that she had apparently been holding in all this time and sighs, "Finally. I was waiting for you to ask." Then she starts this long story about how she did something good or something like that and I am not really listening, but then I hear her say something about a animal. Wait, she doesn't have any pets.

"Wait a sec. So, what!? did you say something about an animal??" I say, just confirming that what I heard was right.

Becca starts beaming and nods her head, "YES!!! Omg, Lizzy, I'm soooo excited!! My parents are letting me get a dog!!! I have no clue what to name it though, or if I should train it as an indoor or an outdoor dog...." Becca starts rambling and asking herself questions.

I cut her off, "Don't worry Becca, Omg, this is so exciting I want a dog so bad!!" Then at that moment, the school bus finally pulls up to the school, and we all file out of the bus. Well here we are, Turrentine High School.
