I Woke Up And Turned To My Clock . It Said 5:59 AM . I Quickly Rolled Over And Shut My Eyes Again But Just As My Eyes Shut . RING RING RING RING . The Wonderful Sound Of My Alarm Clock . I Sighed In Annoyance And Pressed Snooze On The Alarm Clock . I Shut My Eyes . "Mom Said Get Up ." I Heard A Sleep Za Say . He Laid Back On The Foot Of My Bed Closing His Eyes As Well . I Heard My Door Open . "Lexi , Za , Up Now ." My Mom Said . I Did A Fake Cough . "I'm Sick ." I Said Unconvincingly Apparently Cause My Mom Said "I'll Be Back Up Here In 5 Minutes And If Y'all Ain't Up I Will Make You Go To School Just Like That ." She Said Walking Out . I Sat Up Rubbing My Eyes . I Looked Around My Room Not Wanting To Get Up . "Za ." I Said Shaking Him . He Groaned Opening His Eyes . "What?" He Asked Wearily . "We Gotta Get Up ." I Said Yawning And Getting Out Of Bed . He Rolled Over Landing On My Floor . "Boy , Get Up ." I Said Grabbing A Towel And Some Clothes And Going into The Bathroom . I Wasn't In The Shower For No Longer Than 10 Minutes When Someone Was Banging On The Door . "Hurry Up , I Gotta Take A Shower !" Za Yelled . "Wait!" I Yelled Back . He's So Impatient . I Was In The Shower For 5 More Minutes When I Finally Cut The Water Off And Stepped Out Of The Shower . I Put On My Blue Skinny Jeans With My Purple Tank Top And A Green Purple And Blue Half Shirt Over That . I Put On My Nameplate That Said "Alexis" On It . I Spent A Few Extra Minutes In There Curling My Hair . Za Banged On The Door Again . "Alexis , Hurry Up!" He Yelled . "oo , Someone Sounds Angry ." I Teased . "Today Please !" He Yelled Again . I Rolled My Eyes And Curled The Last Piece Of My Hair . "Perfect" I Said To Myself . I Unplugged The Curling Iron And Put It Back In The Bin . I Opened The Door . "It's All Yours ." I Said With A Smile . He Rolled His Eyes Going Into The Bathroom . I Walked Into My Room Grabbing The Phone That Supposedly Belongs To Diggy . I Grabbed My Backpack And Went Downstairs Grabbing The Cinnamon Toast Crunch . I Got A Bowl And Poured My Tasty Cereal . I Went To Open The Refrigerator And Picked Up The Jug Of Milk And Examined It . "Really?" I Said To Myself . "Mom!" I Yelled . She Appeared From the Living Room . "What?" She Asked With A Confused Expression On Her Face . I Held Up The Jug . "No Milk ? Really?" I Asked . "Guess I did Forget To Get Something At The Grocery Store ." She Said Walking Back To The Living Room . "There Goes My Breakfast ." I Mumbled Pouring The Cereal Back into The Box . I Sat In The Chair Waiting For Za . He Finally Came Downstairs Grabbing A Bowl . "I Wouldn't Pour That If I Were You ." I Said . "Why Not .. ? " he Asked Confused . "No Tienes Leche ." I Said . He Rolled His Eyes . "We Ain't Never Got No Milk . " he Said . I Laughed . "Oh You Ever Find Out Who's Phone That Is?" He Asked . "Uh Yeah , Someone Texted Sayin' What's Up Diggy , So." I Replied . He Dropped The Bowl "Diggy ?" I Looked Up "Yeah Why ?" I Asked Confused . "How'd You Get His Phone ?" He Asked . "I'm Not Really Sure , But We Do Talk ." I Said Smiling . "Woah Woah , He Talked To You Out Of All Girls ?" He Asked Laughing In Disbelief . "Whatever ." I Said Getting Up Walking To School . I Would've Gotten A Ride But I Didn't Wanna Deal With Anyone . I Got To The School . A Car Parked As Soon As I Got Up The School Stairs . "Aye Rodriguez !" I Heard A Familiar Voice Yell . I Turned Around To See Diggy Walking Towards Me . I Smiled . "Well If It Isn't Simmons ."This Yours ?" He Asked Pulling Out My Phone . My Eyes Widened . "Yes! How'd You Know ?" I Said With Joy . "Lucky Guess , I Mean It's Not Like Theres A Picture Of You That Says Alexis Rodriguez On It Or Anything . " he Said Sarcastically . I pushed Him A Little "Shut Up ," I Said . "But You Really Saved Me , if I Lost That Phone Id Also Lose My Life ." I Said Laughing . He Chuckled . I Began To Walk Again . "What , No Thank you Hug ?" He Asked With A Hopeful Smile . I Playfully Rolled My Eyes . I Went To Hug Him . It Was A Tight Hug . I Didn't Want To Let Go Of Him And He Wasn't Letting Go Either . 'Ahem ." I Heard Someone Say . I Quickly Pulled Away From The Hug And Saw Za Standing There . I Rolled My Eyes , After Him Basically Saying That I'm Worthless This Morning His Presence Annoyed Me . I Didn't Say Anything To Za . "You Know Him ?" Diggy Asked Breaking The Silence . I Turned To Him . "No Idea . " I Said Smiling . Za's Mouth Dropped In Shock . Diggy Held Out His Hand , I Didn't Think Twice I Just Gladly Took It . Got Up Those Tons Of Stairs And Into The building We Walked . Everyone Stopped And Stared . Oh No .
