Jessica had no desire to wake up. She was drifting through her subconscious quite nicely. Her phone, however, had other ideas. A loud rooster call bounced off the walls of her room. Jessica sat bolt upright in bed, her hand automatically groping in the air, searching for her phone. Her fingers closed around the cool device and she flicked the alarm off. She looked around the room bleary eyed, trying to remember what day it was when she saw Violet sitting on the edge of her bed. "Morning." She managed to croak out, her voice still heavy with sleep.
Jessica smiled good naturedly when Violet prodded her shoulder, βItβs our last Monday of high school ever; you got to get up, especially if you want hot shower water.β Jessica nodded, vaguely understanding what Violet was saying to her. Jessica swung her legs out of the bed and padded towards her wardrobe, hunting for an outfit. She sat patiently on her bed, waiting for Violet to finish in the shower. Some fifteen minutes later she heard Violet leave the bathroom and Jessica ran down to the bathroom, claiming it before anyone else could. The bathroom quickly resembled a steam room as Jessica stood beneath the spray of the shower, her head clearing as she did. She switched the shower off and pulled her pajamas back on, leaving her damp hair down, sticking to her back.
Pulling on her
outfit for the day, she heard the front door close. Thinking nothing of it, Jessica blasted her hair with the hairdryer, taking the excess moisture of her hair. She preferred to let it dry naturally but she wanted to take to time to get to school before the lower years took over the halls. She grabbed her bag, ditching it by the front door before making her way into the kitchen. She noticed a note on the fridge from Violet. That explained the door then. Violet poured some cereal and milk into a bowl. She didn't usually eat cereal on a morning, but it gave her time to think a little. Her last week of highschool then off out into the big wide world. In her freshman year she couldn't wait for graduation, but now she'd bite someone's hand off at the chance to go back to freshman. Finishing off her cereal, Jessica dumped her bowl in the sink, "Bye guys," she called through the house before leaving for school.
On her arrival at school, Jessica saw the huge 'Last week, Seniors!' sign hanging above the door. She shook her head, not believing it had come round so quickly. She kicked her way through the brightly coloured balloons, batting a few out of her face as she made her way to her locker. There was one door between Jessica and Violet's lockers so she was still able to talk to her friend. She ditched her cap in her locker, grabbing the books and files she needed for her first lessons, "You took off early," she said, catching up to Violet as they made their way through the school, "I'm guessing the guys haven't arrived yet."
