Alex’s POV
“Alex, get down here!” My mom yells from downstairs for the thousandth time.
“I know, I’m coming!” I yell back and attempt to quickly fix my hair. I got up a little late today, so I pretty much had no time to get ready. So much for an alarm.
I quickly grab my backpack and phone off my bed so I don’t waste any time, my feet rushing down the stairs to the kitchen. I huff and glance at my phone, impatiently tapping my foot.
“Dammit Harry.” I curse to myself, annoyed. He told me he’d be here at 7; it’s been almost 20 minutes and he’s still not here yet. Typical Harry.
“Hey honey.” My mom greets me as I go to sit on one of the wooden stools next to the marble counter.
“Do you want some breakfast?” She asks me and I shake my head.
“No, I’m good.” I reply, glancing at my phone again.
“I could make you some scrambled eggs and toast really quick.” She offers.
“No, it’s fine. Harry’s going to be here soon anyways.”
“You shouldn’t keep skipping breakfast, Alexandra.” She scolds me and I roll my eyes at the use of my full name.
“At least grab something out of the cabinet.”
“Fine.” I give in. I get up to go to the cabinet and grab a granola bar from the box, quickly unrapping it to take a bite.
“I’m eating, see?” I tell her matter-of-factly, taking a huge bite to show her. Before she can nag me any longer my phone finally buzzes, showing Harry’s name on the screen.
* Here. Come outside * My eyes skim the text. It’s about time. I lock my phone after, quickly sliding it in my pocket.
“I gotta go, Harry’s here.” I tell my mom before moving out of the kitchen and sprinting towards the door.
“Aren’t you forgetting something?” I sigh and look back at my mom.
“What?”
“Your backpack.” She raises her eyebrows at me and gestures her hand towards my backpack on the ground.
“Oh, right.” Wow, I’m a dumbass. I quickly grab my backpack and make my way back to the door, yanking it open.
“Don’t forget your coat!” She calls again and I huff impatiently, quickly grabbing it off the coat hanger before heading out again.
“I’ll be home from work at 6!” My mom calls after me as a reminder.
