I turned the alarm off, hoping nobody else heard it. Especially not my annoying brother. He's probably on his way to my room at this very moment to ask me why I'm awake. I giggled quietly to myself, pulling the blankets to the side, and standing up.
I walked over to my closet, pulling out a dress i had prepared the night before, and a pair of white tights.

I slipped my dress on, zipping up the back and then carefully stepping into my tights. I smiled at myself in the mirror hung on the wall.
"Not gonna lie, I look absolutely adorable in this! There's no way Eli and his friends are gonna push me away when I look this cute!" I began pondering the many ways I'll get every single one of them wrapped around my finger.
My daydreams were interrupted at the sound of a familiar knocking on my door.
Speak of the devil... I mean.. Think of the devil?
I cracked the door open, seeing my older brother's groggy looking face, his brown locks messy and wild. "(Y/n), why are you awake so early?" He asked.
Ah.. The doomed question.. "None of your business Eli." I hmphed, still upset about the day before.
~The Day Before ~ 2nd Person~
"(Y/n), me and my friends are going to take the boat out tomorrow to go check out the island. The other townspeople have been speaking of water demons living on the island, and Naib has been insisting we investigate. I trust that you'll be able to take care of yourself while I'm gone?"
You scoffed at your brother, "Um.. I'm no baby. Of course I can handle myself on my own."
Eli gave you a disagreeing look, shifting his gaze to the side. "I've stocked up on groceries just in case it takes longer than 1-2 days."
Your eyes shifted to the floor, your anxiety coming up with every bad thing imaginable happening to your brother and his friends. "Um.. Can I go with you?" You asked.
"(Y/n)... You know my answer.. Maybe once you're older... But right now, I'm sorry to say it, you'd just be dead weight."
Your concern turned to anger as the words "dead weight" came out of your older brother's mouth. You knew he was just trying to get on your nerves to keep you from coming with, but it had the opposite effect on you. Now, you were sure to get on that boat, and be sure to ruin their voyage as much as possible.
