TIME: Mark Tuan edition

Chapter 9

A/N sorry. I'll update twice today. Something came up yesterday

I woke with a headache. I groaned and pulled the sheets over my head. I could feel my head pulsate every second. Intensifying as I gain consciousness. The pain wouldn't go away but I knew I had to go to my classes today. I shut my eyes tightly as I threw the sheets off of me. I looked over and saw the three still sleeping. I looked for my phone and checked the time. 8:48 am. I had to get to my class at 10 so I rushed quietly, grabbing a towel and into the bathroom. I took a quick shower and brushed my teeth as I wrapped the towel around my body. After I rinse out my mouth I will the mirror from the steam and look at my face. I grab the lotion and run it all through my face, shoulders and legs. I removed the towel quickly and went over the remaining areas.

I wrapped the towel around me again and peaked out of the bathroom. There were no sounds so people are probably still asleep, right? I creeped out after grabbing my dirty clothes and quietly ran to my room making my hair drip from the remaining water from my hair. I tossed the clothes to my bin and slipped on my navy blue underwear and bra. I took out a blue wide neck long sleeved shirt that sits at the end of my shoulders and then slipped on light washed shorts that was pre-ripped with fringes at the bottom. I grabbed my backpack from the floor and exchanged its contents with today's classes. I hung it on my shoulder and took a brush from my vanity. I began brushing my hair as I walked out. I looked at all of the sleeping figures, quickly passing over one in particular, and noticed one was missing. I turn around to find him sitting at the table drinking coffee while looking at me. How long has he been there and awake?

"Here, I made you one when you left the bathroom," he tells me offering another mug of coffee. I didn't know anyone was awake. I grab the cup and glance at the time.

"I actually have to go right now-"

"Lemme transfer it. Go get a coat and put on your shoes." I do as he tells me handing the mug back. I grab a coat from my room and slip on sneakers. As I reach the door he is waiting for me with a thermos.

"Thank you!" I give him a side hug and quickly walk out.

"Chris!" I turn around to see him leaning out of the doorway. "Don't forget to pack for tomorrow! It's still on right?"

"Of course! See you tomorrow! Tell the boys in sorry I couldn't say by today!" I walk backwards and wave. He waves back and we smile at each other. I turn around and quickly make my way to the elevator to get to my car. It was 9:10 am and it takes twenty minutes to get to the school and another five to park. From the parking lot it takes about ten minutes to walk to my class. If everything is timed right I'll get to my class at 9:45 am giving me fifteen minutes to spare.

I drive out of the lot and head to the streets. As planned I get to the school and park at 9:35 am. I took a sip of my coffee and headed over to a vending machine. I put in a dollar and got a snack bar. I tear it open with my teeth and take a bite out of it as I walk to my classroom.

Soon after my arrival the class begins and my day starts. I had three classes today so I ended around seven in the evening without breaks. Each class was two hours without breaks. To say the least, I was starving. I drove to the cafe nearby and ordered an iced tea and a chicken sandwich. I sat at a table in the corner by the window. I began eating and looked outside watching the people and things outside.

*ding ding ding*

I looked at my phone and saw a text from Aaron, 'at the practice room if you want to come. Your brother came to your house for Miguel this morning. Don't force yourself to come, you need rest for tomorrow's competition.'

'I'll be there in fifteen. See you all there!' I reply. I quickly finish my food and tell my brother I will be home late to practice. He replies back that it's fine and I drive to the building. I park and walk to our room.
