I open my eyes to the blaring sound of my alarm I squeeze my eye shut from the morning light and I stretch my hand out to my nightstand reaching for my alarm to shut it off.

Sighing, I get out of bed and head over to my mirror to get a glace at what I have to deal with today.

My hair is a tangled mess on top of my head and dark circles formed under my eye caused by lack of sleep, I groan at my appearance in the mirror and head over to my bathroom.

After my shower I brush my teeth and head back to my room in search for something to wear.

I end up with blue jeans and a black
tanktop.

I look back again at my reflection in the mirror and I look fairly reasonable, I grab my concealer to hide my dark circles and blemishes.

When I finished I headed downstairs to meet my mother in the kitchen.

"Good morning" I say plopping down on the island chairs.

"Good morning Annie, what would you like bacon and eggs or pancakes?" Mom responds with her back to me busying herself with preparing breakfast.

"Pancakes please, by the way where is dad, Jacob and Seirra?" I ask.

"I'm right here" Jacob my 13 year old brother says as he enters the kitchen holding his school books in hand.

"Your dad is helping Sierra get ready for school, they'll be down any minute now" my mom answers my question from earlier.

When my father and Sierra come back down from upstairs we all sit down to have breakfast before going about with our day.

Seirra who is 7 years old, strawberry blond hair like mine and our mothers starts to babble on about how her and her friends are going to a birthday party this weekend.

"Mom can Bellamy come over today to work on a school project?" I prompt in the middle of the conversation.

"Yes honey sure" she replies.

I was secretly hoping she wouldn't agree because I don't know if it's a good idea to take Bellamy or anyone else in the matter of fact.

I look down at my empty plate that was filled to the brim with pancakes just a few minutes ago and I think about wether or not I should tell my family.

Should I?

Maybe not, not now.

I stand up from my seat taking my plate in my hand and head over to the sink to rinse my dish, after I'm done I pick up my jacket from the hanger and hang my bag over my shoulder.

Before I head out of the front door I say my goodbyes to my family and I grab my keys from the table next to the front door.

Heading over to my black Sedan and I turn on the ignition and I grab my phone to text Maddison that I'm on my way to pick her up. 

I pick up Maddison and we're on our way to school when she speaks up.

"So you and Bellamy huh? Would've never guessed" she chuckles.

"Me and Bellamy what? What are you talking about?" I ask confusedly.

"Going on a date across time and universe." She continues joking.

"No, this is not a date. I just don't want to seem like I'm keeping my findings from everyone plus he seemed so enthusiastic about the idea that I didn't want to let him down." I say expressing my concern.

"Whatever you say boss" Maddison replies still giggling at me.

"Come on we need to go in now or we will be late again" I shrug brushing off our conversation from earlier not wanting to get into that at the moment.

We enter the school halls that is packed with students hurrying to gather their things before the bell, we go our separate ways to our lockers.

We meet up with the boys at my locker just moments before the bell.

"Good morning" Dennis waves as he comes our way.

"Definitely not a good morning" Blake says and Bellamy nods his head in agreement.

As if reading my mind Bellamy explains
"We have AP chemistry" he groans in annoyance.

"What about you Maddison what do you have?" Blake asks.

"Me and Annie have English with Mr Brian" she says cheekily.

Before anyone can give a reply the bell rings indicating the start of the first class of the day.

I take Maddison by the hand and head over to class waving the boys goodbye.

Mr Brian is a fairly nice teacher, he is really fun to be around and most of us enjoy his class so I'm actually in very good luck to have his class first.

"Okay everyone, please take your seats" Mr Brian says trying to get everyone to quiet down as I take a seat in the very back corner of the class.

"As I'm sure you are all aware by now, you should be submitting the last of your forms and collage applications for the collages that you have chosen, do not take this lightly as it is very important" Mr Brian continues on about how we shouldn't miss the due date and how effective it is to submit early.

I sigh and plop my head down on the desk reminiscing all the good times I had during these years of being in high school.

The day drags on and on until the lunch bell rings. Finally!

I hurry picking my things up and heading for the door, the moment I'm out in the corridor I hit a hard figure and all my things fall to the ground.

Shoot.

"I'm so sorry I didn't see you there" I start apologizing frantically to the person who is helping me pick up my stuff.

I look up to meet his eyes and I'm struck by the realization that it's Bellamy.

"Bels? What the hell!" I chuckle awkwardly.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to frighten you" he responds still laughing at me.

"What are you doing here anyway? I thought we all agreed to meet in the cafeteria?" I ask.
