My name is Alani Marie-Joseph. And for the past 15 years, I've been just living my honest everyday life , nothing out of the blue ever really happening, well not until things started getting messy - quick.
'Alani get out of bed right now, You're going to be late for school!' my mom cried out, disturbing my dreams
'Ugh.. I'm up, I'm up." I mumbled, fully knowing that it was deluding myself as I layed ever so still under my snug heavy blanket.
Ring..ring...
Rolling to my nightstand while rubbing my eyes, I pick up my phone. I see the contact "Gigi Hadid🤩" calling, as I strain my eyes from the bright light emitting from my phone.
'Gia what is it..?' my voice coarse and dry from my recent awakening.
'Did you end up doing the physics homework? I was checking our school's email and realised it's due by today' she probed, slurping her cereal between each sentence.
'.....'
'You didn't do it, did you?'
'Ummmmm...maybe i did,maybe i didnt..' 'Can't I just copy off of-'
'No.' she said bluntly
'Please, please, please with a cherry on top' I urged.
'Nope, don't even think about it ' Gia said firmly, her voice laced with playfulness.
'Pleaseee...I'll get you those Takis you were practically dying for last week" I coaxed her (what can I say? I don't want to be faced with another bad report! My mom would whoop me to death, bring me back to life just to whoop me again!)
'Okayy fine..but not if you dont get your ass out of bed now! We are going to be late.'
'How doyou know? 'I said while staring at my screen skeptically.
'Bruh, I know you".
Eye rolling, I hung up the phone and rolled out of bed, with a grunt,quickly sorting out my plushies.
Ugh...why can't the weekend be longer, I thought to myself rubbing my temples, still feeling groggy.
I stepped over the dishes and past papers from last night's revision sech (more accurately described as another case of my 'staring at the questions blankly' sessions).Skimming through my closet, I quickly realised that half of my clothes were either in the wash or needed to go into the wash. Without much of an afterthought or care, I whipped on a random, mix-and-match outfit (tracksuit bottoms, an oversized metro boomin shirt, and my black headphones on my neck) to wear for the day.
