SURREPTITIOUS

The Beginning Of Something

Waking up to the sound of my 6:30 AM time set alarm, which I hear every 5 days of the week reminding me to get ready for hell. Barely opening my eyes I groaned internally and just stared lifelessly at the ceiling (I must look lifeless cause that's how I'm imagining in my head right now, even my brain doesn't take a break once I wake up).

Sitting up, I let out a tired sigh and grab my phone that was beside my pillow, turned off the alarm by clicking the turn-off button repeatedly as it doesn't turn off with the first tap. I just stayed sat up scrolling through Instagram liking pictures and watching some stories from mutual friends at school (If you're wondering how many followers I have well here it goes, 515, laugh all you want but I prefer it this way). Checking the time in case I overused my little time of freedom before I head to jail, I see that I used 5 minutes so that's good, and I start to get off the bed before a ding captures my attention.

1 new message from Dan

I opened the message quickly knowing that it was my boyfriend and instantly a smile breaks through my face.

Goodmorning bub I'm still at practice but don't forget to bring a sweater it's quite cold, see you at school.

Thank god he warned me about the weather cause I was thinking of not wearing a sweater today, but turns out I am. I reply with a 'Goodmorning dan and thanks for the warning, see you at school bub.' I put my phone to the side and start prepping myself for the next infernal I might experience, so here we go. I first take my shower (No I'm not going to wash my hair, I wash my hair tomorrow), once I'm finished with that I put on the clothes that I'm gonna wear for today and I chose a regular white v-neck shirt and some jeans with my warm slippers, brushed my hair which I straightened yesterday, applied some chapstick and put mascara on (I ain't nasty, of course, I did my hygiene), quickly checking the time I see that it's 7:12 AM. Quickly grabbed my backpack and start walking to the kitchen grabbing a water bottle while shoving it in my backpack and like some seniors, I walk to school.

In case you're wondering, where are my parents? Well let me enlighten you, my dad leaves to work an hour before I wake up, my mom is sleeping as well as my twin brothers, mom wakes up at 7:30 to prep the twins for school and they take off at exactly 8 to drop them off at school, the twins are 5th graders and they're lucky to wake up later because their school starts at 8:30 so 'yay' for them, but not for long. My mom knows I walk to school, and she offers me a ride but I enjoy the walk so I don't bother asking, except when I'm late or it's raining.

The walk to school is only a 20-minute walk so I take my time walking there and just check in my mind if I did all my homework last night, which I mentally checked that I did do them. I only have 4 classes that I need and 2 that are electives but that's 5th and 6th period. For 5th period I'm a TA for a nice English teacher who teaches freshmen and in 6th period I have early leave so I can leave school early (I lied to my mom saying that I'm a TA again for 6th period but when I leave early I go with my boyfriend to grab food and come back to school because he still has football practice).

I reached the school campus, and head straight to my TA teacher's class which she's always in because she enters early to prep the class for lectures and she always has the door unlocked for me. Seeing my teacher I smile at her, taking a seat next to her I help her grade papers and she hands me a cup of coffee (it's our secret).

"Thank you Arcilla, here's some coffee to wake you up for today but shhh," she grinned in which I chuckle giving a nod saying 'it's fine'.
