BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...

I hear my alarm going off and I just don't want to get up so I pull a pillow down over my head and ears hoping that my alarm will just shut off and I can go back to sleep.

BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...

"Ughhhhh I don't wanna wake up" I hear my door open and footsteps approaching then I hear my dad start laughing as he shuts off my alarm he sits down out my bed

"Hey sweetie time to wake up if you don't want to take the bus" and that's what gets me up I hate taking the bus in the morning especially in the morning I don't mind it that much at night but I guess if I did take the bus then I could maybe see the mystery boy again. I sit up in bed as my dad walks out

"Be ready to go in 20 minutes" he calls out from the hallway

"Okay dad I'll be ready"

I make my way out of bed and grab the outfit I picked up last night on my way into the bathroom. I go to the bathroom and wash my face before slipping on my outfit consisting of sweatpants and a cropped hoodie because I have hip-hop today. I then put on a little bit of make-up, the essentials blush, concealer, mascara and finally I threw my hair up in a messy bun. I hear my dad call out but I don't know what he said but I just respond with "coming!" As I come out of my bathroom, I grab both my school and dance bag and a crop top before shoving it in my bag in case I get hot, as I bend down to put on tennis shoes. After putting on my shoes before grabbing my bags and heading downstairs.

As I walk down I see my dad in his nicer suit for his business job during the day and a backpack in what I'm guessing is his work uniform for Meijers.

I start to walk into the kitchen and as I pass through the doorway I bend down and open the cabinet with the cereal bars and grab a cheerio bar and sit down at the table, opening up the bar as dad walk in and grabs a glass and fills it with water before setting it down in front of me along with my daily vitamins and my ADHD medicine

I mutter a small "thank you" before taking a sip of water and putting the pills in my mouth before swallowing them in one go. I start to eat my cereal bar and I hear my phone ding. Normally no one is texting or snapping me unless it's urgent because I don't have many friends, only a close few.

"Hey girly, how you doing?"

I see the text is from my best friend since kindergarten Leo Hudson. He was the boy who no one wanted to be friends with but I walked over to him with my markers and paper and asked him if he wanted to draw with me and we have been besties ever since. I smile reading it

"Leo?" I hear my dad say

"How do you always know?"

"He's the only guy you smile at your phone for that I know about at least"

I shrug my shoulders before replying with a quick "good morning Leo, I'm okay I'll see you at the studio"

I then put my phone face down on the table and finish my cereal bar and drink my glass of apple juice that my dad got me while I was on my phone. Once done with my breakfast and juice I grab a snack and my lunch box I packed in my meal planning already.

I also grab my dad out one too and put his into his lunch box with a water bottle from the fridge and I grab my half a gallon water bottle that was also in the fridge. When dad walks back in with his backpack on his back and he grabs the lunch box before slinging the bag down catching it in the crook of his elbow unzipping the packed bag and putting his lunch in before reaching around me and grabbing his keys
