It was half past nine in the morning and Alex was the first one up. She shuffled down the stairs, grabbed a bowl of cereal, and had her breakfast while scrolling through her phone. Automatically, she clicked on Instagram to scroll through her close friend stories (the only stories she bothered to read). Fred, surprisingly, was already up and had posted something about a sports team (which Alex regretfully still did not understand despite knowing Fred for like a decade).
