Something poked my face. I decided to ignore it, but it happened again. I tensed and waited until it didn't happen again and snuggled back down into the fluffy comforter. Then…poke.

"Why are you doing that? Stop it. I don't want to move," I groaned, but apparently it came out more like "Why'reyoudointhattt? Ssstopeet. Idunwannamoooove."

"Uhm. What?" I heard from a voice I assumed was Rachel.

I blinked my eyes repeatedly and tried to focus on her face. Her eyes were wide open and she was smiling, wearing enough pink to rival that Legally Blonde chick.

"Dude. It is too early to even be smiling, let alone wearing that much pink. What's up?" I asked trying to keep the sleep from my voice.

"It's Tuesday," she chirped, "It's time for school."

"Ohshitt! What time is it?" I huffed jumping out of the bed and leaving its warmth, trying to remember which drawers I put my pants in.

"It's five after six," she said solemnly to my choice of words.

"Five after six?!" I tried to comprehend, "As in 6:05?! As in no normal person should EVER be awake this early, let alone if they don't have school until eight, 6:05?!"

"Yes, I believe so."

"And why are we waking up so early?" I asked as I finished pulling my "All Time Low" t-shirt over my head.

"Well, I usually leave early so I can get some extra practice in at the auditorium to practice a few chosen pieces. I've been trying to contact Finn or Noah to see if they would like a ride to school so that you wouldn't have to be lonely- It might get boring since I'll just be singing and perfecting my chosen songs- however, neither have been answering their phones."

"Maybe because they're still asleep like normal teenagers should be," I grumbled under my breath. "Let me see your phone?"

She handed me the phone and I looked through the contacts until I landed on Finn H.; I pressed send and listened to it ring.

"Lo'?" I heard a deep voice, heavy with sleep answer.

I put my hand over the phone, "Ohdearjesus! Rachel, he sounds sooo FINE over the phone!"

"Mmpff, Rasheell? Is something wrong?" Finn asked, his sleepiness laced with worry.

I took a deep breath and put as much energy as I could muster into my voice, "Hi, Finn. This isn't Rachel, this is Lyla. I really wanna apologize for callin' you so early, but Rachel woke me up and she said that she was gonna be busy before school, and since I don't really know many people I was wondering if you would mind us picking you up before school and hanging out with me, so I won't be lonely."

"Uhhhh," I waited for the words to sink in, "I dun know. I guess. I'm at Puck's so you'd have to pick me up here," I heard him groan slightly as he stood up, shuffling around the room for what I suppose were his clothes, "When will you be here?"

I turned to Rachel, "What time are we gonna pick him up?"

"In about ten minutes, he lives close."

"Oh, he's at Puck's house. Do you know where that is?"

"Yes," she stiffened visibly, "I know where he is. I can be there in about fifteen minutes."

"You got it," I smiled, and talked back to the phone, "We'll be there in about fifteen minutes. See ya then."

"Yup, see ya," he answered. Just as he hung up I heard another voice, "See who when?"

* * * * *

I was waiting in the car for Rachel. She was talking forever, checking to make sure she had "everything" in her bag over and over again.

I turned the heater up and grabbed my phone, remembering that I had programmed both Finn and Puck's number's into my phone.

[Sup Looser? Wake the Fuck up.] I texted to Puck.

Before I could wait for a reply I started a text to Finn. [I'm waiting in the car for Rachel, we'll be there in about 10 minutes.]

*Ah. Wut happened to 'no cussing'? Lyla, right?* I got back before I could finish typing to Finn.

[I said no cussing AROUND Rach. Why are you awake?]

*Hypocrite. Finn was up walking around, ran into shit; woke me up.*

[It's called being CONSIDERATE. Douchebag.] I texted quickly, still waiting for Finn's response.

(Um, Lyla. I think Puck wants to go with us.)

[Noooo. He's not invited (; jk. I'll ask Rachel…when/if she ever gets in the car!]

(Lol.)

Rachel jumped in the car just as I attached my iPod to the USB cord in the dash, "So. To Noah's right? Is Finn ready?" She asked talking in hyper speed.

"Yeah, Puck's house. Finn's ready and he said that he 'think's' that Puck wants to go with us."

She drove with both hands on the wheel, staring forward with her back straight against the seat, her hands gripped the wheel tighter, "Finn and Puck, in a small area at the same time? Is it just me, or is that a bad idea?"

*How long until you're here, shorty? We're waiting.*

[I'm not that short-"Rachel, how long until we're there? The boys are getting impatient." She sighed, "About five minutes"- in like 5. I don't rmmbr inviting you.]

*Really? You so are. Huh, memory going this young? You should get that checked out.*

I fiddled around with my iPod artist's, trying to choose who to listen to. I finally gave up trying to find something and pressed shuffle just as Finn and Puck jumped in the car, shivering slightly from the cold air outside.

"Ashley" came on, by Escape the Fate. I cranked the volume up so you could feel it, earning a disapproving look from Rachel.
