STARS

Gooood Morning

*beep* *beep* *beep*

I slowly open my eyes.

I wipe them with my hands.

I yawn, and and press Stop on my alarm.

I lay in bed for about five more minutes.

I'm not really a morning person.
I much prefer the night.

That's when the stars come out...

==========================

It's 06:05 as I get up from my bed.

I have one hour until I have to leave to school.

But that's not a problem. I never take much time to get ready.

It's easy;
Go to the bathroom
Eat
Change
Check if I have everything
Leave

Done.

I start to head to the bathroom.

I peak my head into my dads room.

"Goooood Morning dad!"
I say, as I probably woke him up from his sleep.

It's usually me doing the waking up.

Back when my parents were together, it was my mom who would wake up first.

I would only hear her at around 4am before leaving the house and saying

"Don't forget to wake Alex up!"

That's when I knew that I must prepare for the horrible sound of my alarm, soon coming out of nowhere.

As my dad stretches his arms up in the air, he softly tells me

"...good morning...Alexandra"

It's obvious I probably interrupted one of his dreams.

He isn't a morning person either.

==========================

After I got out of the bathroom, I make my way to our kitchen.

I open one of the cabinets.

Great. Wrong one.

I still don't know this house as well.

We've only moved in here about a month ago, just after some moving company brought in all the boxes.

That is also why I haven't gone to school since then.

I've been helping my dad unpack all our things from the old house.

And I made a deal with him.

I promised that I will not go back to school until I help him with everything.

I mean... it's just us now.

==========================

When I FINALLY find the right shelf, I take out the toast bread.

I get out two plates and place them on the table.

I place two on each plate and cover them in peanut butter and jelly.

I cover both sandwiches in foil wrap and I take one with me.

The other one is for my dad.

I can't really do a lot on the kitchen... so that's the best I could do.

==========================

As I walk into my room, I open my closet.

Now some people at this point would take hours to pick out the perfect outfit.

Well in this case, it isn't me.

I look at my clothes for a couple seconds and grab some jeans and a hoodie.

I change out of my onesie pajama and put on my clothes.

I go to the bathroom and brush my teeth.

Then, I take my hairbrush and headbands and I put my hair is some messy bun.

Even though I have kind of long hair, I usually keep it up.

==========================

I take my bag, which I pre-packed yesterday, and I put in my PB&J Sandwich and my water bottle.

I go the the main entrance and put on my black converse.

My dad comes in about two minutes.

"Let's gooo! It's your first day at Whalestone High school!"

"Whalestone? It's called Whalestone?!"

"Yes Alexandra. Did you not listen to any of this when we went to take the tour?"

I smile awkwardly at my dad, and he just  laughs.

"The school is named after the  principal. Principle Whalestone"

We get in the car and my dad drives me to school.
