“Miss.” Someone lightly shook me awake. “Miss, you need to get up.”

I rubbed my eyes until the bright morning light didn’t hurt.

“You’re…Mary, right?” I asked.

“Yes,” The girl answered. “I have some clothes for you. They’re in the bathroom so you can go freshen up.”

“Okay.”

Mary left my room, heading in the direction towards the stairs. I dragged myself up and headed towards the bathroom. I barely made it two sluggish steps before I ran into someone and I almost fell to the ground.

“Watch where you’re going,” I muttered to them, regaining my balance.

“You would think I wouldn’t have to worry about people running into me in my own house,” They responded and I looked up at Devan. “I’ll let your attitude slide for now because I’m not a morning person either,” He said. “But if you start talking back to me later, you won’t get such a nice reaction from me.”

Devan stepped around me and continued on his path. These boys are really weirding me out.

After I was cleaned up, I headed downstairs to the kitchen for some breakfast.

“Good morning,” I was greeted by Will. “You feeling better?”

“Yeah,” I responded. “Definitely needed that sleep.”

I grabbed a banana from a bowl on the table and ate that for my breakfast. Will disappeared while I was eating, so I had no idea what to do now. So, despite being freaked out by it, the room with all the guns had my attention, and I headed there, making sure no one was around before sneaking through the door.

There wasn’t anybody in the room so I was free to roam. I picked up a small hand-gun and pretended to take aim. I repeated that action with a few other guns of different sizes. I was holding another small one when I got a surprise as I took aim.

“BANG!”

I screamed, dropping the gun, and spun around to see who had decided it would be funny to scare me. I found Nate leaning up against the wall, bent over with laughter.

I glared at him. “You found that funny?”

He stood up straight. “Of course,” He laughed.

“Well now tell me, is this funny?” I grabbed another gun and aimed at Nate.

Nate stopped laughing, but still held a smirk on his face. “Go ahead,” He challenged. “Shoot me.”
