The next morning I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock.The non-stop ringing became unbearably irritating when I remembered what it was for.School of course.

I had no choice but to shut it off and start my day.Pressing snooze was not an option as I couldn't afford to be late,I knew Kai wouldn't wake me up anyway.I wasn't about to rely on him,not anymore at least.

I decided to lay there for a while,eyes fighting to stay open,mind coming up with hundreds of different compromises and excuses as to why I could just sleep for longer if I really wanted to.

To stop any further thoughts I abruptly sat up,to say I was lightheaded would be an understatement,so I tried blink away the dizziness,which to be honest,kind of worked.

When my vision became even and I was no longer seeing splotches of black or little random stars,I swung my legs over my bed.

It was currently 06:54.I set my alarm for 6:50 so I could be awake and fully up by 7,I knew what I was like.In addition,school wasn't that far so it's not like I had to leave extra early to get there on time.For some context,school started at 08:10.

I grabbed my phone and towel and headed to the bathroom where I would get the first few steps of my routine done.

It was essential,a priority if you will.I would shower,brush my teeth then do my skin care routine.

I needed to just feel clean and refreshed before I started my day,plus I need to occupy the bathroom before anyone else could.

I decided to play a video to keep my company as I took a quick shower,steam filled the room and the mirror soon became blurry.

I tried not to get the area wet,I was dripping from head to toe stepping out,expected after a shower.[don't be dirty minded😚]

It would be boring to get into detail of everything I did,let me be quick and snappy,things were done.I got there in the end,my uniform was put on and for once my tights weren't horribly ripped.I wasn't having a bad hair day,in fact,my hair was cooperating today,staying in whatever place I put it.

Things where going well.

I leaned over to tap on the message I just received from the main group chat I'm on.

It was a text from Miya asking if anyone was on their way to school yet.It was 7:38 which meant I'd have to be leaving soon anyway.

I ended up replying.

I'll be leaving in 12 mins,wanna meet at the gate again?,won't be late this time😚🤷🏻‍♀️...

When she agreed to I decided to grab my bag before hand and head downstairs where I was met with both my parents eating breakfast.

"Ah,good morning" I greeted them politely while heading to the container cabinet,where I'd gather a large container to fill the brownies with.

"Good morning dear,I didn't get to see you yesterday,I came home too late.Are you well?"
My dad replied,looking up from his phone towards me.

I turned my attention to him,I gave him a smile while nodding my head.

"As good as someone can be while going to school." I sigh dramatically while my mother stands beside me.

"What are you even looking for y/n,your messing up the whole set up"

"The lid to this fricking container" Ive never sworn in front of my parents,I don't know the out come as I've never tried,I wouldn't want to know the outcome.

"Move,I'll look"She rushes me to the side with her hands while I stand there,hopelessly confused when she finds it in a matter of seconds.

"Stupid" She places it in my hands while chuckling to herself,before sitting herself down on the table near my father.

I don't bother replying,it wasn't something I had the energy for in that moment.

When done packing the brownies I placed them in my bag,the only thing I could think of was the look on the faces of the boys when I handed it to them.

But there was one thing I couldn't help but question...why couldn't Kai just give it to them himself?

Was he that lazy?
Or maybe incompetent is the word.
Let me not be rude.

I reach for my phone that happens to be in my blazer so I can look at the bus times.To my luck it comes in 5 minutes which gives me time to walk and not sprint to the bus stop.

I say my goodbyes and put on my shoes before leaving.

When being left alone with my thoughts I thought of multiple ways and times I could give txt their food.I wanted it to be in a way that wouldn't gather too much attention,a way that we could talk real quick but then I could continue on with my day.

Not to mention it would have to be a time they would have to be all together,I can't guarantee they'd share if it was given to just one of them.

I was probably overthinking it,but it's hard not to sometimes.It's unavoidable.

As a quick time update it was currently 07:53.
I would say I was on the right track,many would disagree but personally I think being too early just isn't the way to go sometimes. When you just wait there and your friends aren't there yet,you look like a loner.

No hate to people that do good on their own just doesn't always feel great.

My incoming scenarios come to a halt as my beloved bus comes.Today I couldn't find a seat as it was too full,so I stood near the doors so I could at least easily leave when my stop came.

I briefly looked at my phone to see a message from Miya saying she'd be at the gate in a little over 5 minutes which was quite perfect in my opinion but I did see something else.

A message from Taehyun.

I click it on it with my brows furrowed,we don't usually text so that's why it came as a surprise to me.

Look in front of you to the seats on the left y/n 😵‍💫

I quickly look up but happen to be looking in the wrong place as there are other people blocking my way.

Ive looked up and can't see anything🤔

I hear someone stifle a chuckle that makes me want to try even harder to look in that direction.

Look where you heard the laugh come from👂

The bus comes to a stop,making someone get off that happened to be right in front of me.In that moment Taehyun came into view.

He waves and me and I return it with a smile.
A smile that soon falters when I remember what Kai told me.

Didn't he say he was going to leave earlier so that he could go out with the rest of the boys...?

I text Taehyun asking him a question,hoping to not sound suspicious.

Its not common for you to go school aloneeeee,aren't you meant to go school with the rest of txt?🤡🤡🤡

He looks up with his face laced in confusion,one that matches mine.

Well most of them sleep in and kai said he couldn't bc he'd go with you?

Well then-?

A/N

HEYYY GUYSSSSS,I'm back yet again...
I'm not doing a back to back update bc I can't be asked 🤡
Also I was thinking of writing how many words are in my chapters at the end,should I?
Hope you have a good day/night<3

Ciao for now
