Waking up today was not really hard today, I guess. If you mean waking up at 3:27 a.m. in the midnight, then yes, waking up was not so bad.

Considering the disturbing events from yesterday, I was actually pretty surprised that I managed to sleep.

What would you do if a person of you know is caught killing someone and is apparently some type of boss for a gang or something? You'd probably freak out but that wasn't my case. I was more like shocked. I just COULDN'T believe that this was happening.

It was something that I'd never expect would happen.

So, I put on a casual, white hoodie over my comfy, gray shirt and black slacks. I didn't think much about my appearance honestly.

I just went out and did what I usually do when I have a stressed mind or when I'm perplexed.. I went for a walk. You guys must be like: WHAT?!?! How can she go to a walk at 3:27 a.m?

Well, I do that so deal with it.

Grabbing my phone from its charger, I went out the door making sure to shut the door as quietly as possible. I didn't really want anyone to know that I left.

I plugged the earphones in and listened to the slow beats of the music slowly immersing myself in the song and the walk. I dug my hands into the pockets of my hoodie and walked up the street. Once, I had got bored of doing something so silent, I started jogging. I took three rounds of the same street and then landed up in front of my door again.

Clicking on the switch button of my phone, I checked the time. 4:15, it flashed.

Sighing dramatically, I took off for another round knowing that no one would get awake before 5.

This time I decided to take a different route, though. I took the route that passed through the park.

Another ten minutes later, I was strolling in the park. The weather was truly amazing and there was a slight breeze.

Overall, I was really enjoying myself. Just to enjoy the weather for a few more minutes before I headed back home, I seated myself on a bench. In my view, the swings were slightly shaking due to the wind and were empty. The slides looked as if they had been watered and the grass looked fresh. It must have rained today.

Everything looked so natural here unlike Boston. But Boston was the place where mom was there, where our happy family was there.

I didn't realize I zoned out until a few fingers snapped me out of my gaze.

I turned my head to see Aiden.

Wait.. back up.. AIDEN?!?!

What in heaven's sake is he doing here???

"Hey," he said looking at me weirdly.

"Umm.. hey?" I answered but it came out more like a question.

"It's like," he said looking at his watch, "4:25.. So what is a pretty girl like you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same question," I said raising my eyebrow.

He shook his head lightly and chuckled.

"Couldn't sleep," was his answer.

"Well, you are not the only one who couldn't sleep on this world," I answered as calmly as I can.

"Yeah, I guess," he said and scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.

I rolled my eyes at him. What a jerk.. He's a bully at school and a flirt out.

"Have we met before? You look pretty familiar," he remarked.

I just laughed at that.. I could go like 'Yeah! Your my bully at school and you still get owned by me so bad'

No. That couldn't happen as much as I wanted to rub it off on his face.

"Just informing, but those are very bad, cheesy lines. Trust me, you don't want to mess with me though," I said confidently and plugged my earphones in my ear and walked away leaving a very shocked Aiden behind. Obviously, no girl has ever done that to him, but my mom had taught me a phrase once: There's always a first.

I shrugged all those thoughts away and walked back home. Once I reached I silently opened the door and got my books out to complete my homework.

Homework was never really my thing cause I always ended up zoning out or using 2 hours to complete it. Right now, I'm struggling with the second option.

One and a half hour later, I was totally worn out.

I decided to wake everyone up, instead.

"Dylan," I said quietly shaking him a little bit.

He let out a muffled groan.

"Dylan," I said again.

And suddenly his eyes shot open. "God damnit!! I'm still dreaming! This can't be Roxy waking me up! You know what, I am convinced that I'm dreaming," And with that he went back to sleep.

I laughed uncontrollably at his reaction and woke him up again. He woke up wide-eyed.

"Pinch me, please." he said pushing his hand towards me.

I pinched it maybe a bit harder than necessary. "Ow," he said rubbing his arm where I pinched him, "I'M NOT DREAMING!!!"

He grabbed his clothes and ran into the bathroom, where he locked himself. I chuckled to myself and laughed as I went over to comb my hair. What? I just needed to comb my hair, it probably looked like a bird's nest.

I killed some time doing stuff on my phone, and then after what felt like ages, the door of the bathroom clicked open and out came Dylan.

"Good gracious! And they say that girls take time," I teased.

He narrowed my eyes to me and pointed his index finger to the bathroom as if ordering me to get in there.

"Fine," I huffed in annoyance and got into the bathroom. I took a quick shower as always and dressed up (of course, not with my cap and all) before leaving the bathroom.

I dressed up into this buckle, black, checkered shirt and paired it up with a dark blue jeans- I had no idea which brand it was off. Sue me.

 I looked fine after that. I went out into the kitchen and saw Dylan having trouble pouring the milk out from the carton and dad, just drinking his morning coffee and reading a newspaper.

Couldn't dad have just helped Dylan? I rolled my eyes at dad and went over to Dylan and poured the milk for him. He flashed me a thankful grin.

I smiled at him. What can I do? Whenever he smiles, I end up smiling as well, his smiles and grins are contagious.

"Dad, I got some breaking news for you. Today, Ashley woke me up AND she was awake as well," Dylan announced clearing his throat and giving me a sideways glance to make sure I wouldn't jump or attack him.

Dad choked on his drink, which he was once sipping.

"What did you say, Dan?" He asked.

"Ashley woke me up-"

"THE WORLD'S GOING TO END!" Dad shouted frantically and dramatically.

I glared at the both of them who were now laughing up to no limit.

"I'm kind of in a hurry, so I'm going to get going. Oh and dad, you're going to have to drop him," I said pointing at Dylan, " To school. Don't expect me to be back before 5 o'clock. I've got tutoring to do!"

They both stopped laughing almost immediately.

"NO! Take him with you," Dad begged.

"No, deal with him and the punishment," I told him with a fake smile and shut the door loudly only to hear two loud groans coming from inside.

Rolling my eyes, I walked to my bike, which was standing there peacefully. I cracked my knuckles and got onto it driving to the bar.

Thirty minutes later, I was standing in front of hell A.K.A school.

As usual, everyone stared at me as I walked into school. Ya, I'm probably famous or something..

I walked into class and took the desk at the back of the class.

"Mr. Alvin! Sit in the front!" the sir ordered.

Grumpily, I got off the chair I was sitting on, pushed it back in and walked at the front, where I took out another chair and sat on it.

Once, the teacher was satisfied with where I was sitting, she started the class about World War II.

When the class was nearing its end, I silently prayed to god: 'Dear god, please don't let there be a World War III. I won't be able to handle all of the studying. Thanks!'

The bell rang at that time and I made my way to the next class. I sighed heavily before shutting my locker after replacing my books with the ones that were now needed and made my way to the next classroom.

But..

Surprise, surprise! There comes the mighty one, Aiden!! Along with Jace and the other ones.. heading towards.. me.

Oh.. How I hate the nerves of this guy.

I was definitely not in the mood to fight right now, so I just walked out of their way leaving them with a surprised expression.

Before I knew it though, I was slammed onto one of the lockers. And I felt a stinging pain on my shoulder.

"Mr. Aiden!!!" The principal shouted from across the room and gestured for him to follow him. The principal came at the right time or I don't know how I would have deformed the shape of his face.

I just continued the walk to the next class without any interruptions then.

The day went as boring as usual with only lunch being different as Aiden tried to punch me but failed miserably as I either blocked or dodged all his moves.

Oh, well. He has to get over his fighting skills cause he absolutely sucks.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Just subtract this part of the equation on both sides and you'll get the answer." I told Jace as I explained a bit of maths to him.

"Alright. I'll just do this one last question and then we can leave," he told me at 3:30.

"I'm waiting," I said and sat back as I watched him complete the question in front of him.

"Done!" he declared.

"Okay, let me check," I told him taking his copy where he worked it out.

He just waited there with an excited expression.

"Excellent," I told him, proud of him.

"YES!!" He exclaimed.

"Shhhh," the librarian told us.

"Okay, okay," he said annoyed.

"See you tomorrow then," I said as I waved him a goodbye.

"Bye," and with that both of us parted our directions.

One place was waiting for me right now : The Bar.

I got on my bike and with a mighty roar of the engine the motorbike came into life and went off to the bar. As we reached, I slowed down the pace of my bike until it completely stopped. Taking the keys out of the motorbike and putting it on stand, I headed towards the bathroom.

Honestly, when you take off your wig, you actually feel relieved. It feels so good when you're done with the tight wig and are ready to get it off your head. The same thing applies to the bald cap..

Done with my final routine, I looked at my straight yet wavy hair and zipped my hoodie as I brought the loose hood onto my head.

A lot of cheering was going on when I entered and I signed up a form.

"HOW'S MY FAVORITE LADY DOING TODAY?" Luke asked as I went closer to the bar table, squishing between drunk people.

I just showed him a huge thumbs up.

"Keep the bag with you, please?" I asked.

"Yup," he replied popping the p.

"Thanks," I told him gratefully and walked out to wrap my knuckles.

I felt a bit weary today due to lack of sleep and my shoulder and stomach hurt a lot because of being pushed right into the lockers.

"Having a rematch once again is Emmett and Ash!!!" The host declared.

I groaned internally. I wasn't in a very good mood today to be fighting a jerk.

As I walked up the platform, Emmett smirked at me mockingly.

'Great!' I thought sarcastically.

"And the match begins now!" The host said before scurrying out.

I landed a punch right when the host finished that sentence. It took him off guard since he wasn't expecting that just yet.

Much to my benefit, I predicted his next move and quickly dodged it before he could hit me causing him to lose his balance and fall on his face. A roar of laughter emerged from the crowd and I saw Emmett blushing out of embarrassment. His face was reddening so much that it was hard to bring my own self not to laugh. 

Since he was already on the floor face-first, I brought my elbow down to his back and knocked his breath out. His hand slowly lifted up.

"I surrender," he said midst coughing.

"We have a winner then: ASH!" the host announced raising my hand up as Emmett was dragged out to the medical center.

'Well, wasn't that the easiest match I have ever done? Yeah, I think..' I thought to myself chuckling quietly when an image of him falling popped up into my head.
