Adam

The next morning I was awoken at 7am by my stupid alarm. I groaned loudly, slamming my hand down on the snooze button and curled up, unable to fall back to sleep again.

The warm smell of bacon and pancakes wafted through the air. I blinked my eyes open reluctantly and stretched, still under my blankets. I soon got up, basically rolling out of the warmth of my bed, and onto the floor. The door to my room swung open and Raven looked down at my body, which laid in a heap on the floor.

"Yeah that's how I feel every morning." He said, laughing slightly and held out a hand to me to help me backup to my feet. I took his hand, pulling myself up and rubbed my eyes.

"I really don't wanna be awake." I complained to him, giving him my best pouty face. This only earned me a chuckle and a ruffle of my hair.

"I guess you don't get to eat moms first day of school pancakes." I stared at my brother hoping he was kidding. He wasn't.

"Those are a thing?" I said grabbing some clothing and throwing them on my bed, lazily fixing up the sheets.

"Yup, and if you don't hurry, Jack is gonna eat them all before either of us get any." I nodded, shooing him out of my room and closed the door so that i could change without peeping eyes.

Once changed I made my way downstairs and into the kitchen hopping up onto one of the breakfast bar stools and grabbed a plate only piling two or three pancakes on it and drowning them with syrp. Raven looked over, his mouth full of his last bite of food, and gulped it down.

"Jack and I are going to stick with you today so that you can get around the school better, since we all have the same classes." He said getting up and placing the plate in the sink. Same classes, I must be pretty smart to be in the upperclassmen grade, though in Canada I would still be in the same grade.

"Alright, sounds good to me." I said finishing up my own food, not realising how fast I ate all the food. I got up, placed my plate in the sink and ran up the stairs to grab my phone and my school bag full of brand new school supplies for my first year at an American School.

"Ready to go?" Jack asked, holding his head a bit. I looked at him and nodded, wondering why he was holding his head. Probably a headache from the hangover.

The three of us jumped into Jack's sports car and drove to school, me in the back seat consumed by my nervousness and worried thoughts. The school was called Addison High. It was a pretty big school, and it was supposedly tough. You had to be really serious about grades here. There was little to no drop out rate either. It was kind of intimidating to hear all this, but, what did I have to worry about? I was an A+ student, I was gonna be fine. Raven pulled into his, parking space, space 45, and turned off the car turning to look at me.

"You ready kid?" He asked grabbing his bag from Jack. I looked past him at the school, it was huge compared the the highschool I went to in Canada. I nodded, mentally freaking out with how nervous I was getting. Raven ruffled my hair, per usual, and got out of the car closing the door and locking it up as soon as me and Jack got out.

"Alright, so we head to homeroom, which is room 214." Raven said starting to walk towards the front doors, just like everyone else. There were so many people, it was almost scary. I sighed and walked after my two brothers trying to keep up with them.

Home room wasn't that bad. I stayed with Jack and Raven throughout the entire time of homeroom. There were other kids in the class of course, talking loudly with their friends. I felt so out of place here.

Sure, I was born in America, but I hadn't lived here since I was 4. My parents divorced when me and my brothers were little, and since I was the last born child, my dad took me with him.

He raised me in Canada and that is where all the friends I had ever known were. They probably miss me alot. I mean, normally on the first day of school, I would be with some of my buds, sleeping over the night before, all of us carpool to school, hang out in classes we had together, mess around at lunch and then after school go home, grab our skates and go to the local skating rink. That was a typical day for me up in Canada.

That wouldn't be the same this time. This year, I was starting off with no friends, no one to play pranks on, carpool with, sleep over with, go ice skating with all year round. Nothing. Just my older brothers and me.

"Adam you okay?" Raven asked noticing that I was shaking. I felt something wet slide down my cheek and raised my hand to touch it. I was crying. I quickly wiped away the tear and gave my brother the best fake smile I could must.

"Yeah yeah, perfectly fine bro!" I said pulling out my phone. There were some texts on the front screen. I smiled, they were from my buddies back home.

"Alright, let us know if you need anything then, me and Rae are gonna go talk to our buddies over there." Jack said, making me look up and see where he was pointing. A table closest to the door with a bunch of rowdy upperclassmen. How fun. I nodded to let Jack know I heard him and went back to my phone unlocking it to answer some of the texts that I was receiving.

7:34 am Sam: Adam? Adaammmm? You there man?

7:36 am Adam: Yeah I'm here.

7:36 am Mika: Hey! The living zombie is back!

7:37 am Kia: Hey Adam! You enjoying America?

7:37 am Adam: For the most part, I guess? I really miss you all though.

7:38 am Sam: Same for all of us here. It just feels so weird not having your presence, it's like, well, I dunno, it's like something.

7:39 am Kai: Sam, the teach sees you on your phone, best hide it before she takes it again and sees you were looking at porn.

7:39 am Sam: I'M NOT LOOKING AT PORN KAI!

7:40 am Kai: Then why are you smiling at your dick? ;)

7:40 am Sam: SHUT UP!

I laughed watching as the string of texts flew by my screen. Sam and Kai always fought over the littlest things. Honestly it was time for them to get together. They already act like an old married couple.

7:44 am Adam: Alright Sam, Kai. You two go kiss and make up so that we can continue talking.

7:44 am Kai: Ew gross, I'm not kissing that weirdo.

7:44 am Sam: I am not gross! I am killer with the girls.

7:45 am Mika: Alright you two enough. You can yell at each other all you want at lunch, until then shut up.

I looked up as the school bell rang and sighed. I sent a quick text to everyone letting them know that I had to go to my first period and turned off my phone. Man do I miss everyone so much.
