Cyrus

I woke up to the vibrations of my alarm and a mug of mildly luke-warm coffee by my bedside. Then, 5 minutes later, another alarm. Then another. Then another. I knew it was time to move and responded with a grumbling sigh. I had to push myself to tug off my warm, cosy sheets and release myself into the hell of real life, instead of my cheery dream world. I knew this year was gonna be torture. I could sense it the second i saw a huge zit right on my forehead. Ughh, I thought as i headed to the bathroom in my cotton pyjamas, to squeeze this monster of a spot. I reached for a face - towel and waited for the running tap to go warm. Bracing myself, i squeezed it with all my might until i felt it pop. Now i just had a weird splodge of irritated skin on my forehead, but at least it wasnt a bloody t-rex sized zit. Then i reached for my toothbrush and whitening toothpaste which i didnt really understand because all toothpastes meant to whiten your teeth. Right? I finished up in the bathroom and ran back into my room and started picking out my outfit. I dont really care much for fashion but i wanted to make a good impression at the start of grade 9, so i chose a green button-down shirt and khakis, because you can never go wrong with a button-down and some khakis.

I heard my mum calling me downstairs so i grabbed my now cold coffee and headed to the kitchen (silently hoping she wasnt gonna want to take loads of photos as always). Oh jesus, i saw my mum with her phone out and a little chalkboard saying 'grade 9' and just grabbed it and posed because i already knew what she's gonna say. Mum smiles at me and say cheese! so i pull my cheesiest smile i can muster as i wait for her to finish.

Afterwards, i grab a cereal bar from the cupboard and head back to my room to get my bag and phone. I chuck my bag on my back and open up my phone to see 4 missed calls from buffy 🏀 along with 5 messages from andi 🎨 and aighed to myself. I opened up andis messages...

hey (sent 6:55)

Are you nearly ready (sent 6:57)

Cyrus? (sent 7:01)

We'll be there in 15 (sent 7:03)

Hope youre ready (sent 7:16)

I looked over to the clock and saw it was 7:21.

Hey andi um are you gonna be here soon?

My reply was a buzz at the door and the sounds of greetings. Oh god. I still havent done my hair. I shout to my mum ill be a minute and quickly pull a comb through my hair. I bolt down the stairs with a half eaten cereal bar and my bag slung over my shoulder. Love you mum! I said as i left the door with Andi and Buffy. Have a good day, Cy.

We started to walk down the sidewalk and played the car game, where you need to guess which colour car you'll see the most (excluding black, white, and grey cos thats just gonna win). I went with red, buffy went with blue, and andi said green. The closer we got to school,the closer buffy was to winning (as always). It was firay to 15, and by the time Andi had seen 4 and i'd seen 7, Buffy had seen 17. She got a tad bit excited, like always, and we started to oush eachtoher around a bit. Buff got a bited riled up and ended up pushing me tto ahrd and I fell back. Into the road. As a car came. oh shirt imma die. I heard screams and a BANG! and CRASH! and ALOT of SCREECH!!ing. I heard someone calling my name and someone being pushed. I heard a faint CALL 999 as i closed my eyes for longer than i thought i would.
