My entire mind is tranquil, everything is peaceful. But then my body starts to shake rapidly and my eyes fall open

"Wake up!" Payton shouts

"I'm up!" I yawn

"Good" he says, getting up from my bed

"I hate mornings" I call out

"Me too" Payton responds

Payton offers me a smile as he reaches the door.

"You know, you should really cover those things up" he says, hinting towards the hickeys that are still on my neck.

I gasp and try to cover them with my hands. He just laughs at me

"See you for breakfast" he says before leaving my room

I sigh. I open my wardrobe doors and I look around at my cloths. I need an outfit for school but I want something decent, not my old cloths because they were things my parents wanted me to wear. I don't actually like half of them

I find a pair of Black ripped jeans and a plain white T-shirt. It's nothing special but I need to go out shopping soon! I have nothing to wear for tomorrow.

I walk downstairs and into the kitchen, the boys are helping to clean the living room so I have the kitchen to myself. I pour a bowl of cereal since there's nothing else here. I grab the bowl of cereal and I sit at the kitchen bar.

"Good morning" Cole sounds happier than ever as he skips into the kitchen, grabbing a drink of coke from the fridge

"What's up with you?" I smile

"Oh you know, life being great and all" he says

"No really, what are you so happy about" I laugh

"Hazel gave me her number yesterday" As he says her name, his face lights up even more

"You like hazel?" I ask

"No? Yes? Maybe? I don't know" he stutters the words

"Well, there's only one way to find out" I claim

"How?" He asks with wide eyes

"Call her" I say

"Are you crazy! I can't just call her" he sounds scared at this point

"What's the worst that could happen?" I ask

"She says hello and I mess up a simple word like hey or hi or hello! What would I even say?" The nerves are definitely getting to him

"Hey, can I have your phone for a second?" I sneakily ask

"Sure?" He says, handing me his phone

He unlocked it before handing it to me, I find Hazel's number and I press call. Then when she answers, i shove the phone in Cole's direction

"Hello?" Hazel asks through the phone

"YOU CALLED HER?!" Cole is taken off guard and I can see him blush a little

"Just talk to her!" I demand

Cole takes the phone off me and takes a breath before putting it to his ear

"Hey hazel" he reply's

I smile before putting my empty bowl in the wash and leaving the kitchen. I walk upstairs and into the bathroom to wash my face and to brush my teeth. As I brush my teeth, the door opens. I quickly wipe my face with the towel beside me and turn to look at the door.

Zed

"What do you want?" I ask as my eyes narrow onto him. He scratches the back of his neck
