Camilla POV

I woke up with a horrible headache but at least I know it's not from staying up all night on my phone. I check my clock and see I have 2 hours to get ready for school and fall back asleep for a quick second.

When I woke back up I had an hour left so I decided to get up, When I went downstairs I saw that the house was empty except for my brother who snoring like crazy I could hear it all the way from downstairs and that's concerning considering how old he is.

My phone started ringing and when I checked it was my friend Lizz when I picked up all I could hear was shouting

"Oh my god, Camilla what do I do!!"

"What's wrong Lizz? What happened?"

"I'm so done for! I didn't study for the test and it's 80% of our mark If I fail this my parents are going to kick me out!!"

"T-T-There's a test...TODAY???"

"You didn't know that?!?! Oh shit, we're defiantly screwed for sure!"

"Oh no no no no!! What do we do? I need more time to study!!"

"I have an idea..." Lizz says

"Are you sure?" I say not really sure if I could trust her as I don't really trust myself right now

"Get ready and meet me at the bus station"

I then quickly stuff a slice of toast in my mouth then run upstairs to get ready. And if you're wondering my dad and wicked stepmother are both at work or more like my dad is and she's just there acting like a lost puppy.

As I'm about to leave the house my brother walks downstairs still half asleep

"What are you doing Mills your gonna be late for school you have 20 minutes"

"Oh- I-I'm just gonna jog to school! Yeah, I need the exercise anyway and with little time left I think I'll break my record! Anyway, it's not like you know what exercise is so no point in explaining" I mutter the last part under my breath.

"Yeah yeah I'll give you a ride just wait a sec"

"NO! I mean No thanks!" Why is he being nice now? Of all times! If I were to beg for a ride he would say no but NOW?

"Why not? Are you planning on skipping Camilla?" Oh shit, he only calls me by my name when he's either pissed off or planning to do something...And I don't think either is good in this situation.

"N-No why would you say that?"

"Because I heard your conversation! Ha really got you there didn't I?"

"Wait what No plea-"

"Don't worry I have no intention of snitching on you but don't call me if you need anything I'm just going to forward your call to Dad and you'll get it trust me"

"Thank you SO much! Ok bye I gotta go before Dad comes back"

"Wait! You should take your bag with you in case Dad does come back and then he will know you're not at school. Gotta use the 1% in your brain"

Did he just call me stupid?

"Ok ok bye now!" I then ran out the door and met with Lizz at the bus stop but she wasn't here and when I checked my phone she said she made it to the mall without me because I was late and she didn't wanna get caught

Well gee thanks a lot for waiting Lizz and thanks to my brother I'm late! Ugh-

FAST FORWARD TO THE MALL

When I got to the mall I looked around for Lizz but she wasn't here I called her and she said

"Hey Lizz where are you?"

"I'm right in front of you keep walking"

"Oh yeah, I see you ok bye!"

Sometimes my eyesight is just trash or maybe I am just stupid but hey I'm blaming the eyesight!

"Heyy Lizz! I love your idea of skipping school! No way am I failing the test better to take it Monday than to fail today"

"Yeah and what better place to be than the mall!"

"Alright let's go I want boba!"

"Haha ok"

After a while of walking around and having boba and some foreign chocolates that we got for free, we got tired and decided to go to the nearby Zoo but it was in a secluded area so we had to get everything we needed and go there last.

DING DING

"Who was that Milla?"

"Oh, It was my dad I guess it's lunch break now at school I forgot to call him wait a sec"

I then ran into a bathroom hid in a stall and checked my phone I had two messages one from Dad and one from my brother.

BROTHER

"When are you getting home? I can't help you all day Dad asked why you didn't call for lunch and asked if you went to school"

Sometimes he could be SO annoying it's not that hard to tell him I'm at school but I'll respond to him after.

DAD

"Hey Mill did you get to school safe? Sorry I didn't text you earlier"

"Hey Mill it's lunch right now odd I didn't get your usual call. Call me when you see this"

"Milla, where are you?"

Oh shoot I forgot to call Dad for lunch ugh let me respond to my brother first in case Dad calls him

"Im getting home in like 2 hours just tell Dad my phone died and I had no time to charge it before going to school and I'm fine Im at the mall right now and I'm about to head into the Zoo area so I can't call anymore just tell dad I'm fine"

I then sent that message to my brother turned off my phone and met up with Lizz again before heading into the Zoo.
