Grace

My alarm rings and I groan and roll out of bed. I jump into the shower and clean my body and wash my hair. After I rinse my hair I turn off the shower and open the shower curtain, wrapping my towel under my armpits and securing it in front. I walk into my room and lay out my clothes I am going to wear today.

Noah

I really hate mornings. Or days in general. I get up out of bed only to turn off my alarm and plopping back onto my bed. I hear my older brother's bedroom door slam and I groan. I clamber out of my bed and lay on my carpeted floor. After the third door slamming in the house I give up to any chance of a few more minutes of sleep. I stand up and pick out some clothes lying on my floor. I get out of my PJs and walk into the bathroom in my room. I look in the mirror and roll my eyes at the dark circles under my eyes.

Gabe

light floods into my room and I see my older sister standing in my room. I frown at her and she places her hand on her hip.

"Get up, mom doesn't want you to be late to school." I pull out my hand from under my duvet and hold out my middle finger at her.

"Well, I want to sleep, get out of my room." Lilith (my sister) rolls her eyes and walks out of my room, shutting the door. I close my eyes and try to fall asleep without success. I get out of my bed and pick out some somewhat clean clothes. I change and walk into the shared bathroom. I love mornings I am just really not feeling it today.

Grace

I brush my eyelashes one last time with my mascara and walk back into my room. I Pick up all my school things and stuff them into my bookbag. I walk into the living room and sit at the island in the kitchen. 7:30 am. I read the time on my phone and sigh. Looks like I'm driving myself to school. I slide off the stool and start the Keurig. I take out my medal Contigo and place it under the lid of the Keurig. As I start the Keurig I hear my phone buzz. I walk over to the island and pick up my phone.

Luna: I'm driving you to school. Be there in five.

Me: Sounds good 👌🏻

My coffee is done and I take my Contigo and place the lid on. My dad walks out of his room and smiles at me. He walks into the kitchen and takes out a mug from the cabinet.

"I want you to come home today straight after school. No dilly-dallying."

"Yes, dad." At that, I hear a honk outside and hop off the stool.

"That'll be my ride." I grab my bag from the couch and walk outside. Luna waves from her car and I smile and wave back. I walk down the sidewalk and into luna's jeep.

"Hey," I say and place my bag at my feet.

"Hello, Grace. How are you this fine morning?!" I scoff and lean against the chair as Luna drives out of my block.

"Your awfully chipper this morning."

"I am indeed. I thought "if Grace is going to go with someone to homecoming, I guess it would be fair if I went with someone too." And that is when Craver Crane asked me to homecoming."

I look at Luna and raise my eyebrows.

"Craver Crane? The guy you had a huge crush on since 8th grade?" Never have I ever seen Luna blush before and she is blushing as red as a cherry right now.

"I'm going to take that as a yes." Luna smiles at me and we pull up to school.
