Daisy With Thorns | The Music Freaks (TMF)

Chapter 1

The last thing he wanted to ring through his ears other than his fast heartbeat was his alarm clock. Too bad not all things come true.
The clock struck the sunrise: 6:15AM. His nerves came together to stretch out and slam his torture device to put it to a stop. The peachy-blonde groaned as his hand made its way to his hair, ruffling and pushing it away from the sweat plastered on his forehead. It was a fresh new Monday, and the past weekend he was been dedicating his time playing video games with his three friends all the way up till 4AM. They do this frequently and yet somehow he seems to always be the only one strained.

Jake stretched and made his way towards his bathroom, brushing his teeth and fixing his messy hair. He quickly gets changed and makes his way downstairs to the kitchen, where his dog was prancing about, prepared for the day ahead. Jake chuckled and grabbed the leash, attaching it to his dogs dark blue collar. The two of them went to the entrance of the house and went for a quick walk, the dog smiling with his tongue while panting.
After Jake's buddy received his daily morning walk, Jake let him run around their front yard while he made himself a quick protein shake. Today he decided to go with a vanilla flavor with some sunflower seeds within the mixture. While it blended he grabbed a granola bar from the cabinet - almond with sea salt and chocolate. The loud rumbling ended, and Jake lifted the blended cup and into a glass cup to drink from. He sat at his kitchen's black-marble island for a few minutes enjoying his breakfast before cleaning up his dishes and making his way back to the entrance. He grabbed his backpack which was on a hook at the door, patted his pockets for his phone, and made his way to school.

The day passed by smoothly so far, he hung out with the guys for a bit and they had lunch, just chatting and discussing their gameplay from last night. Jake was a little bit too tired to engage in intense conversation, so he mostly ate on airplane mode while spacing out, which the boys noticed but didn't acknowledge.
The time finally came for Jake's least favorite class: biology. He may be good with the math's and flirtation, but biology is for sure one of his most unattractive knowledgeable features. As much as he'd hate to admit it.
"Jake, what did we say about talking over the teacher?" The biology teacher tapped her market against her chin as her eyebrows began to sink in. Jake quickly shot up from his doziness and looked around in confusion. Everyone in the classroom was looking his way, and he had no idea what she was talking about. He noticed some drool coming out of his mouth and quickly brushed it away. He looked towards the guys and noticed their guilty faces plastered like there's no tomorrow. They were the ones talking. Jake sighed.
"Sorry, miss. It won't happen again." Jake turned away and mumbled. The teacher nodded and began to talk once more.
"Nice going, Henry. Next thing you know you'll get detention. Won't that be fu—"
"DREW! If your little friend group won't be quiet you all are welcome to visit me after class." The class flinched as she slammed her marker onto her desk. It's over for us.
Biology class finally came to a stop, and the teacher did nothing but eye the four of us down like a hawk. We knew it wasn't going to go well for us. Jake escaped from his seat and grabbed his backpack on his chair and felt himself shivering at her glares.
"What are you waiting for, man? Keep going!" Henry desperately pleaded for Jake, knowing exactly what would happen if he didn't move.
"You four." A small whine came from Henry's lips, followed by a deep sigh from Drew. The four made quick eye contact before gathering their remains and making their way to the teachers desk at the front.
"I am disappointed in the four of you with your behavior today," the teacher begun, "I don't want to have split you up. Prove me wrong next class and behave yourselves." With her final words, the teacher pulled in her rolling chair towards her desk and crossed her legs. That's our queue to go. We all bid her thanks and made our way out of the classroom.
"She's so freaking scary! How did you guys not pee your pants?!" With tears slightly edging his eyes, Henry held tight onto his backpack that he was never properly able to put on his back in anxiousness.
"...are you saying you peed your pants?" Liam raised an eyebrow in confusion, puckering his lips slightly into a smirk.
"NO! It's a metaphor!" Embarrassed, Henry cleared his throat and readjusted himself to calm down. Henry's sudden outburst caused Jake to flinch, and he rubbed his eyes to attempt to wake himself up. Within the process of doing so, he found himself making contact with something not very cool - a biology project. The warnings that came out of the student's mouth wasn't enough, and before he knew it, he became the final piece of the biology project. It caused a loud crash, which happen to also reach the attention of the most-hated teacher, who ran out of her classroom to witness what had happened.
"JAKE! What on earth are you doing?!" She wailed, her heeling clamping rapidly against the hallway floors. The three friends stood there, staring at Jake. Henry was absolutely petrified, he really did look like he was going to pee his pants. Jake simply let out a grown, grabbing his head in pain.
It happened.
