6:00 am - Your alarm goes off showing that it is 6 am on the dot. You lay there for a second in disbelief, how is it already time to get up? You could've sworn you just closed your eyes. It isn't like you were tired or anything, after all, you go to sleep at 10 pm every night, and you rarely dream! Talk about a good sleeper! After a few more seconds of pondering time... you finally get out of bed. Your room being ice cold really just makes you want to burrow under the covers for the rest of your life but you know you cant.
6:10 am - As you're looking through your closet you finally decide that since it is November, a pair of leggings, a t-shirt and a cardigan with some black and white checkerboard slip-on Vans will be just right. To really tie the look together, you wear your hair in a loose donut bun and do a little mascara on your very light eyelashes do to your orange/brown hair. After eating, freshening up and brushing your teeth you're ready to head out the door.
7:13 am- The walk from the parking lot to the school doors seems like a much longer journey in 40-degree weather... But as soon as you enter you pull your phone out of your coat pocket to text Harry and see if he's already there.
7:18 - You open the band room door to find Harry sitting in his usual spot probably working on the homework he was supposed to do but he ended up writing songs the whole night. Usually, when Harry writes songs he facetimes you to help him out and to get inspiration, on weekends he keeps you up till roughly midnight or one but he's learned and respected that you go to sleep at 10 on school nights.
Approaching Harry he hits you with the good-to-see-you face and an "ah there you are Caiti!" as if you've been gone for ages. You plop down next to him in a chair and spectate him as he does his homework. Harry is really smart, some might even say intelligent! After about a minute of watching him write a paper on Censorship, you mention that restaurant you guys passed on your way to his house after school last week.
"Hey what was the name of that restaurant we passed by last week that we really wanted to go to?", "I think you're talking about Sammy's" he replies still focusing on his paper. "Well how about we go after school today then we can study for Mrs. Nelsons test at your house?", "alrighty," Harry adds, "sounds good to me!"
HARRYS POV:
A lot has been on my mind recently and I am very lucky to have Caiti there to distract me from it all, don't get me wrong here, I don't have any feeling for Caiti like that, I wish I did because shes such an amazing person but she will always be my best friend. I'm just so.... stressed right now because my family and I do not get along at all and I have to go on another trip with them and I bet you it will turn out like all the other ones. And I just really need to talk to Caiti about it.
"Well the warning bell just rang lets head to class", Caiti responds, "Did you finish the homework", "Yes hahaha thanks". I sit next to her in our first period, history. We are both passing the class with flying colors but we never pay attention. We spent the whole period looking up the menu for Sammy's and deciding what we wanted to eat.
CAITI'S POV:
Since I had something to look forward to after school the day dragged out for what seems like months. But finally, I was waiting at my seat for my sixth-period bell to ring. Harry and I are seniors and his sisters who are twins are juniors, so we all have our licenses. We both drove to school today, he drove his sisters in using his mom's car but since we were going to Sammy's (finally) he rode with me and let his sisters drive home. Usually, we go out to eat then we study but we go to the same like, two places, this is n
