"WAKE UP!"

The blanket was pulled off of me. I yelped in shock and jumped out of my bed. I landed face first onto the floor and groaned in pain. I glared at the culprit.
"What was that for?!",I yelled harshly.

He shrugged and offered me his hand. I slapped his hand away and got up myself. I bumped his shoulder roughly and went into my bathroom. I sighed and continued my daily routine.

I brushed my teeth, took a quick shower, and brushed my messy dark brown hair. I opened the door and got out to change my clothes for school, but saw my brother sitting on my bed. I raised a brow at him in confusion.

He noticed and quickly went out to allow me to change. I opened my humongous wardrobe and picked out some comfy clothes. I wore a light blue hoodie and black jeans.

"Hey Ash, breakfast is ready!",Jeff shouted from the kitchen. I didn't reply and silently head downstairs to the small table right outside the kitchen. I pulled a chair and sat down.

Not long after, Jeff exited the kitchen with two plates of pancakes with golden syrup covering the top and dripping down the side. He placed a plate in front of me and sat in his own seat with a plate of his own. I started wolfing down my pancakes hungrily.

Jeff snorted, amused by my behavior.
"So how does it taste?",he asked. "Delicious.",I responded with my mouth full. He nodded and started eating his own pancakes. "By the way, sorry for earlier.",he apologized. I nodded as a respond. No more words were exchanged after that.

I slipped on a puddle and almost fell if not for Jeff catching me by my hand.
I muttered a quick 'thanks' at him, though I don't think he could hear me through the sound of the hard rain.
We continued to fast walk and shortly arrived at our high school.

We entered the building and went our separate ways to our respective lockers.
I unlocked my locker and shoved my bag inside. I checked my schedule and took my books. I headed down a floor and entered the classroom.

"-and that is how you-",the teacher looked up at me in slight irritation. "And why are you late?",he asked,clearly annoyed that not only was I late but interrupted his class by bursting in to it in the middle of his teaching. "I overslept.",I said meekly while scratching the back of my head in embarrassment.

A few of my classmates giggled and chuckled in amusement. "Go take a seat.",he sighed and shook his head.
I did what he asked and sat next to my friend, Janice. The teacher resumed his teaching and scribbled some notes on the board.

"Psst...What are we learning about?",I asked quietly to the blonde sitting next to me. "Some chemicals and what mixing them would create.",she answered in a whisper. I nodded in response and listened to the teacher blabber on and on.

"So what are you doing this week?"

"Nothing much",I responded shortly while organizing my books. She rolled her eyes and leaned in as if she wanted to tell me a secret.

"You know I heard that Jay and a couple of other guys are throwing a party tonight."

"So?"

"You've got to go."

"No thanks, exams are coming up soon and I don't think you wanna fail again like last time."

I closed my locker and turned to Janice.
"Imma go to my class,see ya.",I headed down the halls and into Maths class. Apparently, I was the only one in the class. Mr.Jones looked at me in surprise. "Oh Ashlyn you're early.",he said. I hummed in response and took a seat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So how was your day?",Jeff asked to break the silence.

"Nothing much, are you going to Jay's party?"

"Nah, exams are coming up and there's now way I'm going to fail again."

I laughed mentally as I recalled when he partied a lot of times when exams were just around the corner and ended up failing horribly in every subject except for English, Physics, and Maths.

"Hey do you know that there's gonna be a flu shot tomorrow?",he asked.

"Nope.",I said,popping the 'p'.

But little did we know that the simple flu shot we get every year will turn our life 180 degrees around and the entire world into chaos.
