"Ugh...I don't want to get up!"
I growl in annoyance as the sound of my alarm fills my ears.
Serves me right for staying up so late...
I let out a groan as i shove the blankets off of my body before rolling out of bed.
Never again.
Never stay up that late again.
I glance in the mirror to see that my face is rather pale from the lack of sleep which makes my gray eyes appear more silver. My brown hair is a curly mess as it falls loosely over my shoulders.
I change into a a pair of dark jeans, black combat boots, a black and red tank top, a leather jacket and finally a silver chained necklace.
I make my way into James's room to see him sprawled across the bed as he snores rather loudly.
  "James, wake up sleepy head."
I state as I begin to tickle his ribs.
"Just five more min-ha! Ha!"
He starts laughing loudly as he tries to escape my tickling hands.
"Okay! Okay! I surrender! I'll get up! I'll get up!"
James shouts causing a laugh to leave my lips as I pull away.
"I'm still tired though."
He mumbles as he rubs his eyes sleepily.
"Me too."
I state giving a small nod in agreement.
"Can I stay home?"
James asks looking up at me with his stormy gray eyes.
"No, now go get dressed."
I throw his clothes on the bed for him to change into.

"James! You ready?"
I shout as I grab our backpacks.
"Be right there!"
James shouts as he runs out of his room fully dressed.
"Can we go eat at Jean's Diner?"
James asks as he pulls on his shoes and I frown.
Boys and their appetites.
It's like all they do is eat.
"Not right now, but we'll eat lunch there, okay? You're supposed to be eating breakfast at school."
I state knowing that we don't have time to stop for breakfast.
"But you know I don't like biscuits and gravy."
James grumbles, scowling at the simple thought of eating gravy.
James and I both ate some bad gravy and haven't been able to eat it since.
"Hmm....then ask them for biscuits and jelly, it'll be like toast."
"Okay I'll try it."
  James says as we climb onto the motorcycle before riding off towards the school.

"Be careful, I'll see you after school and call me if anything happens."
I tell James before giving him a fist bump.
"Okay, love ya sis."
"Love ya too."
I smile as I watch James walk into his school building before driving over to the high school and parking my bike.
I lift my gaze to see Jo sitting on a metal bench with her gaze cast down to her phone.
"Hey, Jo!"
I call smiling as I take my helmet off and put it away.
"Hey, Raya!"
She smiles walking over before waving her phone from side to side.
"Do you have a phone number?"
Jo asks causing me to smile in amusement.
"Yeah."
I quickly read out my number as we begin making our way towards the breakfast room.
"And yours?"
I ask just as my phone beeps to signal that I had received a message.
I glance down to see the name 'Jo' in black printed letters.
I quickly reply with 'Raya' causing Jo to smile.
  "So where's the new girl you're supposed to watch?"
  I ask as my boots click against the tile floor.
"Chance said that I'll meet her down in the breakfast room."
"So, why aren't you there?"
  I ask with a small frown.
"Because the only people that are here this early are the teachers and us."
Jo states as we enter the breakfast room.
"Hmm...I was wondering why it was so quite."
I mutter grabbing a milk and plain biscuit.
"Want some gravy?"
  Jo asks and I quickly shake my head putting some jelly on the biscuit instead.
"...okay."
Jo mumbles as she looks down at me in confusion.
I glance up just as Mr. Chance and a young girl walk into the room. The girl looks to be about my age with sunkissed skin and a very slender physique. She has long platinum blond hair and bluish green eyes. She wears a white long sleeve shirt, black leggings and a pair of converse.
"Jo, Raya,this is Jaecee."
Chance introduces causing me to smile politely
"Hi."
"Hiya! I'm Jo."
  Jo says in a friendly voice as she holds out her hand.
"I'm Jaecee."
  The girl answers as she takes Jo's hand.
"I'm Raya, it's nice to meet you Jaecee."
  I state holding out my hand to shake.
"You hungry?" 
Jo asks and Jaecee nods in agreement.
"Sure."
I watch as Jo leads Jaecee over to the breakfast table.
....gross...gravy...
