Chapter 14

Maddie's rare blissful slumber was interrupted by the irritating siren of her alarm, she unwillingly rolled over and switched off the alarm, seven am was far too early for any normal human to be forced out of bed. She rolled back over and stared at the ceiling for a good few minutes, enjoying the comfort of her white linen sheets a bit too much. She'd gotten to bed pretty late as the boys only left in the early hours of the morning.

Eventually she managed to drag herself out of bed, she sluggishly made her way for the bathroom where she took a quick shower, and got into her new uniform. When she checked herself in the mirror she was relatively pleased with the adjustments she'd made, to the once ill fitting garments. She decided to pair it with knee high socks, as it was still hot in September.

She was starting in the second semester a couple of weeks late, so not only was she starting new she was staring in the middle of the school year a few weeks late, as if she couldn't stick out enough. Though she knew that fitting in was not something she was likely to do.

She moved onto her makeup doing some simple eyeshadow, her methodical skin routine meant that she had very good skin so just put on light concealer under her eyes still trying to hide the effects of jet lag and a 9 hour time difference which she hadn't quite adjusted to yet. She coated her long lashes in mascara and put a little product in her eyebrows. She opted for a more subtle 'pretty' look rather than the heavy eyeliner and powerful eyeshadow she often indulged in.

Maddie had inherited her mothers strong German features, with high cheek bones and an angular face, more than her fathers subtle Korean heritage - if she did her makeup right you wouldn't even be able to tell she was Korean at all unless you knew it. Her dyed blond hair hid her natural chestnut shade and her double eye lids didn't really allude to her Asian back ground either. Her eyes really showed the mix of her genes, the hazel a mix between her fathers deep brown chocolate eyes and her mother's pea green iris.

Once Maddie was satisfied with her appearance, she wondered out into the kitchen where she was greeted with a sight to behold, Mark was cooking at the stove while Johnny was downing a cup of black coffee, both boys were dressed ready to go. Maddie hadn't lived with them for long but she knew it was rare to get them out of bed before it was the afternoon, so seeing the pair ready to go before 8 am was a bit bizarre.

"What are you guys doing up?" Maddie asked, genuine confusion in her voice.

"We'll take you to school" Johnny said clearly proud of himself "it is your first day after all, and we couldn't let you get lost on your way and be late for the first day"

"Aww that's so sweet Johnny" Maddie smiled teasingly, seeing through his lie instantly "Izzy told you to do it or she'd cut your balls off didn't she?"

The sheepish look on Johnnys face was all the answer she needed.

Mark snickered turning around with a frying pan in his hand "Busted Johnny. I actually did want to make you breakfast" he said gesturing to the frying pan, Maddie could now see pancakes sizzling on it.

"Awww thanks guys, you're all a bunch of softies" Maddie giggled at how they seemed offended by her demotion of their tough personas.

"Yeah yeah, whatever, just eat your pancakes, the maple syrups on the table" Mark mumbled a pink tint at his ears.

Maddie did as she was told, cutting into the pancakes, even though eating breakfast was a thing she rarely did she didn't want to be rude and throw Marks efforts at being nice to her in his face "Damn these pancakes are good, how do you make them so good?" Maddie praised with a groan.

"Mark is as Canadian as that maple syrup, so naturally he's well versed in anything you can put said syrup on" Johnny teased. "Mark can't cook anything else though, I really mean it"
