five

     my eyes flutter open, the first thing i see is the small gap of light that's making its way through my curtains. i close my eyes again, rolling onto my back and star-fishing my bed. mom and maddie must've already woken up and gone downstairs.

  without opening my eyes, i use my hand to look for my phone that's managed to hide away under one of my many pillows. it's only when i find it, i then open my eyes, reading the time that lights up on the screen.

12:20

  wow that's pretty late, even for me. i'm not usually a morning person but i'm also not a lazy person either. i don't like to take naps unless it's after chemotherapy and i don't normally lounge around in my pyjamas all day because i'd rather be outside. i have no idea why though, i always need to wait on the boys or maddie coming home from school because i have no actual friends to hang with.

    deciding that i better get out of bed and dressed, i pull back the sheets and make my way into my bathroom,  closing the door behind me.

   while i wait on the water heating up, i start to get undressed, throwing my clothes into the laundry hamper when i'm done. i walk into my shower, close the door and let my muscles ease as the warm water makes contact with my skin. it leaves red marks as it falls onto the floor, going down the drain.

   i reach for my shampoo, putting an average amount on my hand before putting the pink bottle back on the shelf and mixing the strawberry scented substance in my -now wet -hair. when i've covered my full hair in shampoo, i wash it off, making sure there's none left. i repeat my previous steps only this time with conditioner and i don't rinse it off until i've shaved my legs and underarms.

   my body scrub/gel is coconut and surprisingly goes well with the strawberry. after i wash my body and rinse out the conditioner, i turn off the shower. quickly, i step out and wrap my purple fluffy towel around my small frame.

     droplets of water fall onto the floor and i make a mental note to dry it up before i leave.

   i take one of my face cloths from the small basket on my counter and start to wipe away the condensation on my large mirror.

  after applying some toothpaste onto my new toothbrush ( curtesy of maddie) i begin to brush my teeth while i let my body towel dry.

   when i'm finished, i take out my hair dryer and begin to blow dry my hair. it slowly returns to its light brown instead of the jet black color it changed to when it was wet.

    i sigh, finally done after doing my skin care routine and putting my toothbrush, hairdryer and hairbrush away into their correct places.

   today is rather gloomy and there's a chance it's going to rain so leggings and a comfy sweater it is. i walk over to my closet, take out a pair of simple black leggings and a black cropped hoodie. 

i leave my hair down and my face naked with the exception of moisturiser and what not.

   after finding a pair of fuzzy socks in my drawer and putting them on, i grab my phone and make my way downstairs. it seems quiet until i walk into the kitchen.

     "i told you no more pancakes you're going to get lunch in a minute" my mom tells james sternly, her finger pointing at him.

  i can't help but stifle a laugh as i open up the fridge and take out a bottle of water.

   "did you have a nice sleep kenzie?" noah asks me.

i turn around, sharing a look with my mom before answering him.

"eventually, yeah i did. how bout you?" i ask him as i join him at the breakfast bar. he looks like he's doing his weekend homework.

    "yeah it was fine" he mumbles, too concentrated on doing fractions.

i nod my head as i watch james try to sneak another pancake off of the plate my mom was previously guarding. he glances over at me just as my mom turns around.

    "james! i told you no".

                                         ••••••

      after lunch, the boys and i went outside to play soccer until it began to rain. mom said dinner would be ready soon anyway and maddie would be home in a half hour. she works at a shop in the mall on saturdays so we don't really see each other on the weekends because on sundays she hangs out with her friends.

    "kenzie can you set the table please sweetie" my mom asks, peeking her head through the door. i tilt my head up to look at her and nod.

   pausing the movie, i throw the remote onto the couch and join my mom in the dining room. she and greg are sitting with papers out in front of them and greg's laptop. 

    "come sit" greg gestures, his hand motioning towards the chair opposite him.

confused, i do so, sitting down in the black leather chair, my legs crossing into a basket and my elbows leaning on the table.

      "what's going on?"  i asks them, now acknowledging the smirks both of them have tugging at their lips.

   "mackenzie" my mom starts, clearing her throat. "you remember how greg has a friend who is the head master at maddie's school?" she continues.

     "yeah maddie's always saying how he goes easy on her because he and greg were fishing buddies" i say, not understanding what he has to do with anything.

   "well his name is simon and he has offered me a job at the school as an english literature teacher" greg explains.

my jaw drops, but he's my teacher.

   "that's not fair! who's going to teach me? how will i still do school if i don't have greg to teach me?" i ask, my voice cracking.

    "that's the thing mackenzie, i will still be able to teach you" he tells me.

    my confusion only grows at this. my eyes flicker between him and my mom.

   "what do you mean?".

   "greg will still be able to teach you if you go to school and take his class" my mom grins like the cheshire cat.

   surely the pair of them are joking and i'm still dreaming. no way am i actually going to real school. no fucking way.

   "for real?" i yell, far too excited.

   "for real. i told simon i would only accept the job offer if he allows you to attend" greg informs me and i swear i could jump for damn joy.

i squeal loudly, making greg and my mom laugh as i envelope the two of them in a hug, squeezing as tight as i can.

i'm going to school! i'm really going!
