The next morning, I almost overslept for school because my alarm didn't go off. Maybe it malfunctioned or something, don't really know why an alarm clock that had been perfectly good yesterday would choose to frustrate me. All thanks to mom who noticed I wasn't at breakfast the breakfast table and woke me up. With adrenaline coursing through my veins, I rushed through getting ready, skipped styling my hair, and barely made it to school on time after a managing to gulp down a quick breakfast.
In the bustling hallway, amidst the flurry of students, the three knuckleheads—nah, they can't be called that anymore since we are now friends, though I admit, I will miss calling them that—the trio stood in engaged in an animated conversation with Lily. Undoubtedly, they were bombarding her with questions about my delay. As soon as they spotted me, their faces broke into wide grins, and they eagerly waved me over. With quickened steps, I joined their circle.
