Chapter 1 : The Day Of

•Catliyn's POV•

*alarm chimes*

*Catliyn sits up on her bed, rubbing the tiredness from her eyes*

(stretching) "Fuucckkk I don't wanna get up"

*knock at door*   

M-  "Are you up sweetie?"

"Yeah mom, just woke up"

M-  "Okay, breakfast is ready downstairs"

"Thanks I'll be right down"

M- "Hurry I don't want it to get cold"

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

   Catliyn finally gets up, opens her door, and heads to her bathroom across the hall. She usually takes night showers, but she fell asleep early while reading, so she turns on the water and starts to disrobe. As the water is heating up, she puts on a concert in front of the mirror, using her hairbrush as a microphone. She's dancing to Single Ladies in her head when she decides to cut it off the performance and get in the shower, so her mom doesn't yell to her for taking so long and using up the all hot water.

   After a quick rinse in the shower, she gets out and puts her hair in a quick messy bun to get it out of her face. After brushing her teeth and putting on deodorant, she goes across the hallway to her room and changes into her clothes for the day. Her school doesn't have a uniform, so she wears a pair of cute, ripped skinny jeans, a David Dobrik hoodie (with a tank top underneath) that her parents got her for her birthday last year, and her beat up black and white converse. She sits down at her vanity and puts on some mascara and blush so she doesn't look sickly throughout the day. After that, she takes her hair out of the bun she had it in, runs her brush through her some-what tangled hair, puts it in a side ponytail and calls it a day.

   Running late as always, she grabs her backpack, phone, charger, and her headphones while sprinting out of her bedroom. Coming down the stairs and stuffing everything in her backpack, she greets her parents eating at the kitchen table and grabs a plate to join them.

"Good morning guys"

D- "Good morning sweetie. How'd you sleep?"

"Pretty good"

M- "Still tired?"

"Yeah a little but I don't know why, I went to bed earlier than I usually do."

M- "We can give you a ride to school if you want darling."

"Please? I don't feel like taking the bus."

M- "Done. Just finish your breakfast and I'll go finish getting ready for this meeting today."

"Okay"

*mom exits room*

D- "You got any tests today at school?"

"Just in English, and I studied hard. I'll ace it."

D- "That's my girl."
