I woke up looking at the time at my Hello Kitty alarm clock realizing that it was 8:04.
Great
I jumped out of my bed covers and ran to the washroom.
I could her the chatter of my aunt and uncle downstairs.
I reached the cream coloured wall bathroom and grabbed my toothbrush, and filled it with toothpaste. The mint flavour tingled my tongue but made me feel much more refreshed.
After I changed into a blue and green plaid shirt and loose light blue jeans I sprinted down stairs into the kitchen.

"Morning" my aunty said annoyingly cheerful.

See, I don't like the mornings. Like I despise of the mornings. Like I would kill for just 5 more minutes of sleep every morning.

My aunty looks a lot like my dad. They both look skinny as a twig and have dark brown hair. Today she was wearing a loose grey cardigan with a light blue shirt and loose black jogging pants.

"Why are you so late to come down?"

My uncle is legitimately always, and I mean always mad. I'm not exaggerating.

He has black hair, very short and is always parted to the side. Today he was wearing light brown dress pants and a loose collar green striped shirt.

"I guess I hit snooze once to many times" I said with a light chuckle and a faint smile.

I grabbed a apple from the fruit basket next to my aunty and grabbed my black backpack and slipped into my white converse.

"Bye guys!" I screamed and ran out the door. I didn't hear what they said. Something about being safe or something.

"Hey!" A boys voice behind me shouted.

"Huh?" I turned around to see a boy with messy blonde hair going up to his ears and pale white skin. His beautiful emerald coloured eyes  met mine and sparkled under the bright sun.
He was wearing a plain black sweater with dark blue jeans. He showed me a perfect smile with perfect dimples on each side of his hansom face.
"Hi! I'm new here and I was wondering if you could show me where Rixen High is?" His voice was very masculine and confident.
"Umm, hopefully you don't take this to sound creepy but what's your name?" I said trying to sound funny.
He muttered a light chuckle
"Jasper. Jasper Kai" he said yet again so very masculine and confident.
"Oh well, it's right down Croak Street. You can't miss it"
Alright listen, so I do go to Rixen High, but if I walk with him, he'll expect me to show him around and I don't have the time, and also that won't get me in Princeton and make me a Veterinarian, now will it?
"Alright thanks!" He said. Then he started to jog towards the street.
I watched him fade into the distance and I made my way the long way.
Yes, I know what your thinking.
'Wow. What a great thing to do'
But again; I don't have time.

I walked through houses and backyards and had to jump fences.
Yah that's right. I jumped fences
I finally saw the big brick building, just a couple blocks away. I ran there looking at the time.
8:31
I have four minutes till school starts which means; THE LIBRARY IT IS!

The first period went by fast. Mr. Lamont's English classes are always interesting so I guess that's why. I made my way over to my locker and stuffed some of my books in and took some out.
