Monday morning rolled around faster than what Kayliyah could have anticipated. The weekend had truly been hectic. And as the early morning rays of sun seeped in through the blinds of the dormroom. Kayliyah sighed, wishing she could go back to sleep, pulling the blanket's up over her head and turning her back to the window, and closed her eyes again, but unfortunately for her, she was awoken by the horrid beeping of the alarm clock.

Groaning she sat up and stared up at the ceiling, a scowl plastered on her face. Oh, how she hated early mornings. Ever since she could remember, she absolutely abhorred doing anything early in the morning. Glancing at the clock on the headboard she growled.

Who the hell get's up at six-thirty in the morning when classes didn't officially start until at least eight?

She fell back onto her pillow and rubbed her hands on her face in a frustrating manner, but stopped, removed her hands, and looked at Yoko who was yawning and stretching. A smile drawn on her face. Yoko turned to new roommate and grinned, "Ooh, good morning, Kay! I just love waking up refreshed and ready to start the day, Don't you?"

How could she be so chipper in the morning?

"Absolutely thrilled." She replied sarcastically. Yoko laughed, jumping out of bed and skipped her way over to Kayliyah who had her head cocked to the side, looking up at the bright-eyed girl with a look that clearly said that she was crazy.

"Oh, come on. First day of classes for you. Besides, by the time you're finished all your classes, and physical training you'll be out like a light before you know it."

Sighing, Kayliyah threw back the covers and went her way trying to not to let her annoyance show through at being woken up at the god-foresaken hour. She truly wished she could sleep more. Especially where her night was a fitful one; full of tossing and turning.

She felt someone's hand on her shoulder, turning her head she looked into the light brown eyes of her roommate. "You alright?"

"Yeah," She replied, sighing. "I just didn't really get a good night's sleep is all."

A look of understanding crept onto the other girl's face, and she pulled Kayliyah into a hug. "Aw! I promise that within a few short days, you'll be getting to sleep as soon as your head hit's the bed." Yoko winked. "Guaranteed."

Kayliyah laughed, "You sound like an advertisement."

"I'm an entertainer. Advertising and entertaining are my forte. Anyway, I'm going to have a quick shower, alright?"

"Sure." Kayliyah went about making her bed, and picking up anything loose off of the floor as she waited for Yoko to get out of the shower. She took a deep breath. Today was her first day of classes, and it didn't take a genius to see that she was nervous. Her heart raged against her rib cage all the while hoping that she didn't make a complete fool out of herself.

Nevertheless, everyone seemed nice and all and were willing to help her. Which was surprising. No one at her other school, when she moved there, barely even acknowledged she was even there. Kayliyah had to admit, it was a pleasant change.

Her eyes found the picture of her family on her desk, a wave of homesickness struck her very core. She missed her morning talks with her father before he headed off to the Leadership and Recruit School, or her mother hounding her younger sister to finish her homework before she went off to work. Even though they were a very busy family, they were a tight-nit one.

She missed them.

Ripping her gaze from the picture just as the door to the bathroom opened, followed by a wave of heat and the strong smell of vanilla. Soon Yoko stepped out with nothing more than a towel. "Why don't you have a shower, Kay? Wake yourself up a little."

She may as well, she doubted she could go back to sleep, even if she tried. Nodding her head, she grabbed her clothes and headed into the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

As the water cascaded down her body she let her mind wander. She thought about her best friends and how they were probably doing on that fine Monday morning. Alexa was probably doing her homework over the long weekend - she was always the procrastinator; but, then again, Kayliyah came in a close second. Dylan and Aiden were more than likely playing video games while waiting for them to get to school. And Michelle would probably be curled up on the couch, reading a romance novel, ignoring everyone around her.

Kayliyah smiled, yeah, her friends were a piece of work.

She certainly hoped that her time at Galaxy High will give her more of a thrill than any civilian school ever could. Though, she had to admit, this place was even more thrilling than the school she was posted to back home.

Bringing her focus back to the task at hand, she quickly washed her hair and body, rinsed, then got out, dried, and dressed in a simple red and white striped tank top, a faded pair of black fitted jeans, and pulled her long dark-brown hair into a messy bun, allowing a few strands to cascade down her face. Wiping the mirror so she could see, Kayliyah took a deep breath, and did final touches before exiting the bathroom, feeling more alert than what she had just moments before getting into the did feel more awake now than she did moments before getting into the shower.

"Wow, that was fast!" Yoko exclaimed, grabbing a few textbooks from her shelve. "You ready to go?"

"As ready as I'll ever be, I guess." Kayliyah replied, stepping into her sneakers. Honestly, she felt extremely out of place, and really had no clue as to what to expect during her time here. She wondered if she would just be a burden to everyone - that was at least - until she got used to everything.

Yoko seemed to have noticed her distant look and placed her books and walked over to her, "Don't sweat it, Kay. You'll be fine. Josh, Brett, and I will be there to help you; and not to mention your teammates will help you out a well." She wrapped an arm around the girl's shoulder, "We got your back."

Kayliyah gave a small smile, "Thanks."

A few minutes later they were ready and heading down for Alien Cultures Class with Mr. Spzoerscliipw'. Which, to Kayliyah, was a mouthful to say. Yoko agreed and said that most of the students called him Mr. S. which was indeed easier to say, but she kind of wondered how he would react to a new student calling him that. She figured she'd have to wait and see.

When they reached the classroom they were greeted by Josh and Brett.

As they entered the room, Brett was eager to start telling her about the class. Kayliyah smiled, pretty amused and excited herself to see a kid being so enthusiastic about classes. It was different, she had to admit.

"We are going to have so much fun." Yoko squealed, hooking her arms with Kayliyah, who just laughed, shaking her head. Her attention was quickly averted when she heard her name being called.

"Kayliyah, sit with us." Andi, said, motioning for to sit right beside her on the front row, her brother and Spavid sitting directly behind her. Kayliyah turned to Yoko, hoping she wouldn't get angry with her sitting with her new teammates. She laughed, letting go of her arm as she sat with Brett and Kayliyah sat with Andi.

"So, how was your night last night?"

"It was pretty good, but morning came way too fast for my liking."

Andi laughed, "Well, that's Monday for you."

"Oh, don't I know it."

Both of them laughed just as Kayliyah felt someone tap her shoulder, turning her head she noticed Andi's brother leaning over. She felt bad, not really remembering his name. Her attention focused back to what he was saying, "Have you looked at any of your books yet?"

"No I haven't. I was told that I could listen until I get my books sometime this week..." She felt her face heat up, "I-I'm sorry. I seemed to have forgotten your name."

He laughed, "Ryan. Don't worry about it."

"Well, you know that if you have any questions just ask any one of us. I'm sure we'd be happy to help." Spavid interjected. Kayliyah smiled.

"Thanks guys."

"As we've already said," Andi said, giving their new team member a genuine smile. "Anything for the team."

Kayliyah returned the smile, her attention averting when their teacher Mr. S began speaking, "Today will be a work period." He turned his three eyes to her, "And seeing as you're new to everything here at Galaxy High, you can be assigned to your teammates. Is that alright with you three?"

"No problem."

Kayliyah couldn't help but notice the way Mr. S would make a popping noise every so often as he spoke. As she studied him, the other students got into their respective groups and began their work. Kayliyah and Andi turned around to face both Spavid and Ryan. It was safe to say that she had absolutely no idea on what they were doing.

Kayliyah read one word on the top of the page, not really knowing that it was a planet, until after she asked, "What's Merthoz?"
