ALLYS.P.O.V

BEEP BEEP BEEP. I groaned and felt around for the clock next to my bed. I turned the annoying noise off, got up, and rubbed my eyes. I squinted at the incredibly bright sunlight that was seeping through my window, and reluctantly walked over to my closet.

Monday, by far the worst day of the week. Everyone knows that. It means you have a whole five days until you can sleep in and be away from certain people.

For me, those people happen to be the group of people at school who torment me. Austin moon and his minions.

The thought of that made me shiver as I continued picking out an outfit. I went with my usual; gray hoodie, skinny jeans, and my worn out converse. It'll probably get ruined anyway later by him.

I grabbed my bag and jogged downstairs, seeing as I was already a bit late. I grabbed an apple on the kitchen table to eat on the way. No time to have a full breakfast.

My dad was still sleeping when I ran out the door, grabbing my skateboard on the way out.

When I arrived at school, I was about ten minutes late. This isn't good, considering that it's Junior year and I needed to keep my records clean for college.

The Principal, , was cross-armed, shaking his head slowly at me.

"I don't understand Miss Dawson. You're always on time. Why are you lateI today?"

I shrugged and sighed. Was I really getting in trouble for being late one time out of all my school years here?

"I set my alarm clock a few minutes late. It was an honest mistake, sir." He seemed to buy it. He nodded his head looked at me straight in the eye.

"You know I'm just looking out for you, right? I know how much you want to go to college. So I won't out this in your record, but if this happens again, then it will. Deal?" He held out his hand for me to shake.

I grinned happily and shook his hand. "Deal," I said while standingup. He smiled at me and ushered me out of the office to go to first period. Or, what was left of first period. I entered the door just as was about to speak.

"Hello, Miss Dawson. Do you have a pass?" She asked me.

I nodded hurriedly and handed her the red piece of paper that gave me. She inspected it and nodded. "Take a seat."

I looked around the room, and just my luck, the only seat left was next to Austin. He smirked at me and winked. I rolled my eyes and sat down on the seat.

"Why were you late today dork?" Austin whispered to me. I let out a soft sigh and put my head in my arms on the desk. It wasn't long until I felt a pencil poking at my arm. I lifted my head and glared at Austin

"Well? Answer me," he demanded. Again, I stayed silent. He huffed,

"So that's how it's gonna be, Dorkson? Well then, I'll make you wish you answered me"

This was gonna be a long day
