One Tough Cookie [COMPLETED ✔]

Chapter 8

I rolled and fell to the floor, waking up from a beautiful dream,

"ooucchh" I said as I groggily sat up and rubbed the elbow that hit the wood,

My hair covered my face but I could see alittle through the strands,

why does it look so bright? What time is it?

I yawned as I reached up the bed to grab my phone, I blew air through my mouth, pushing away the hair blocking my view,

When I saw the time on my phone, all the fatigue left in me vanish, "what the fuck! Why is it so late? Why didn't you wake me up!" I said to the phone,

then I notice my alarm was snoozed to an hour, wait I did that, I thought that was a dream,

I scrambled off the floor into the bathroom, took a quick shower and ran downstairs, I'm going to be late if I don't hurry,

"Hey dad, good morning" I said running down the stairs

"Morning hone- wow, what's the hurry, aren't you gonna eat breakfast"

"No dad, I can't, I'm gonna be late" I said as I grabbed an apple, pecked him on the cheek and ran past him

He looked at the clock "late? It's jus-Jesus! it was just 6:00 five minutes ago, how on earth is it 7:35" he scrabbled up, leaving he's breakfast

I chuckled "Bye dad, see you later" I shouted at the door

  "okay, bye honey" he said, rushing up the stairs, probably to get his things

       
               **************

I got to school just in the time,

  when I got to my locker, as usual, I expected both Raven and Sonny to be there,  but I only saw Raven...

what's wrong, where's sonny?

"Hey Ray, whats up, where's Sonny" I sometimes call her Ray, I think it's cool

"Amies morning, I just called her, her mom picked up, she said Sonny's Ill, apparently, it started yesterday"

"What?!!, I didnt know that, she never tells me anything."

"That makes two of us"

"Maybe after school we should go see her"

"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing" she reached into her bag searching for something

"what are you looking for?" I asked

"ah, found them" she said handing me some mints  "you forgot to brush again"

My eye widened in realization, that's true, I took the mints and quickly popped them in my mouth and whispered "thanks, I love you"

She rolled her eyes "I told you there is a flaw in your 'dress before you brush' system, you always forget"

"that's not true, I only forget like four times a year, plus, today doesn't count, I was running late" I defended

She rolled her eyes "that's your excuse everytime, you are lucky I always save mints for you just incase"

I chuckled "awn I love you too, here, have a 'thank you' gift" I breathed into her face

She laughed and pushed my face away "ew, suck harder" she said, and we ended up laughing together,

I was about to say something to her when I saw Parker walking towards us.

Holy shit, is this guy crazy!
