"Riiiiiing!" The sound of my phone echoes throughout my room.

I look at the glowing alarm, seeing it was 6:50.

"SHIT" I say. I'm going to be late.

I jump out of bed, grabbing today's outfit off my hamper and running into the bathroom. I quickly throw on my clothes and brush my hair. The next step I need to do is brush my teeth. I take out my toothpaste, seeing it's almost if not already gone. Trying to apply it onto my toothbrush, I realize it is gone.

"Well I don't have time for this." I think looking at my phone and seeing it's 6:55. "Skip this." I put the toothbrush back into its holder and run back into my room.

I look around, trying to find some kind of mint or gum that will help my morning breath. Seeing the green package of my favorite spearmint gum, I uncover it and get a stick out. As I pop it in my mouth, I run into the bathroom.

"What now?" I ask myself. Pausing for a minute I think about what I usually do. "MAKEUP!" I realize. I quickly grab my waterproof mascara and apply it to my already long eyelashes, making them extra long. Sometimes I put on brown eyeliner but I obviously don't have time.

I turn off all the lights and dash down the staircase with my phone in my hand.

Quickly eating a fruit roll up, I grab my sweatshirt and backpack. I run to the front door. "BYE!" I yell to my dad as I dash out the door.

I've carpooled with the Griers every week for as I can't remember. Well except for the past 6 months. I think today will be the awkwardest ride ever, though. Even worse then the time in 4th grade when Hayes had gotten his first "girlfriend" and I liked him but he didn't know. He was so proud of himself but I was so mad, I demanded Chad (who was driving us) pull over and let me out. He refused obviously but that shut Hayes up pretty quick and by the ride home, he was single as fuck.

I wandered into the Griers garage and opened the door that lead to their mud room. This is the same thing I do every time, I walk into their house and talk with Elizabeth for a few minutes while the boys finish whatever they're doing. Elizabeth's like my second mom so I tell her everything.

"Hello!" She yells to me from the kitchen.

"Mmm what smells so amazing?" I ask wandering into the kitchen.

"Eggs. You want some?" She usually feeds me but I feel bad about it so I always grab something before I run out the door. Today, that fruit roll up wasn't gonna last so I accepted her offer.

She served the eggs up on a colorful plate and and we sat down at the table.

"So what's the gossip in your life?" She asks.

"Well I finally got an amazing boyfriend." I state.

"Oh really." She seemed kind of disappointed.

"Yeah. Is that okay?" I asked skeptically and shoving eggs in my face.

"It's just that I always thought that your "amazing boyfriend" would be Hayes."

I partially choked on my eggs. "What?"

"Yeah. You're perfect for each other you know. Everyone knows it."

Luckily, the boys run down the stairs right then and grab their backpacks. Elizabeth gives me a look as if to say we're going to finish this talk later and grabs our dishes and tosses them in the sink. We all grab our backpacks and head out the door and into their car. Nash always sits in the passengers side and Hayes and I sit in the back; me behind Elizabeth and Hayes behind Nash. It's been like this since we started doing this.

The ride is silent except for the music in the background.

"Up next, the next big thing, Shawn Mendes with 'Life of the Party'!" the radio announcer says.

We all gasp together and Nash leans over to turn the volume up super loud. Everyone but Elizabeth gets their phone out and posts a snapchat, vine, or some other type of video and tags Shawn. By the time it's over, we have arrived at school. Nash and Hayes jump out of the car. I wait till they leave so I can talk with Elizabeth.

"We're you serious about that?" I ask.

"About what sweetheart?" She says confused.

"Me and Hayes..."

"Of course. Everyone can see it. But go on and get to class. We can talk after school."

"Fine. Bye!"

"Bye hun!" She says as I jump out of the car and dash towards Davidson Day.

|AN: short IK but at least it's an update.

So yeah I'm on winter break finally and I get two weeks off so I'm gonna try to update at least one other time before the 5th (when I go back).

This story just hit 2.53k reads so thank you! I've been getting a lot of comments about how good this is and wanting me to update more so I'm going to try.

On of the last things, go read my best friends story called Hidden. Her usernames swizzle2001 so go check that out. It's a 5 Seconds of Summer fanfic and I may or may not be in it.
