1379 Words
She still had school tomorrow so without have a choice she laid down again trying to sleep again but ending up tossing and turning nonetheless. She was sure she would get dark circles at this rate and look like a walking zombie. Her thoughts soon came to halt as her eyes started to drop engulfing her in sleep again. She just hoped she won't have the nightmare again, only a peaceful sleep. Amber was sleeping as suddenly she felt harsh light glare at her face burning it with slight sensation of warmth which was disturbing her sleep because she didn't like sun rays hitting her eyes, causing an irritation. She turned other side so she didn't have to get bothered with sunlight but within seconds felt duvet being snatched with such force that she landed on floor first face literally hugging the floor like love of her life. " Ahhh..." she grunted as her butt was hurting. " What the hell Nick!!" Amber yelled at her brother and chased him to smack him. " Will you just listen to me! We are getting late for school." Nick told Amber to safe his life as he was too young to die so early. " Still you could have done that in a more polite way you idiot." Amber yelled at her brother as she quickly took cloths from her closet and ran to washen up. She indeed woke up late today and it was one of those rare days when her brother happened to be the one to wake up early than her. And he wasn't an early bird. Amber quickly brushed her teeth and finished taking shower at the record time of nine minutes which was worth praising for her. After all she had been a girl who never took less than half an hour under shower. But she didn't have enough time to self pat her so she quickly wore the baby pink tank top and dark blue jeans she had kept at her bed before going to bath. While Amber was rushing, packing her stuff and trying to tie her hair in a pony tail but lastly gave up as it was taking more time than she could afford to waste so she hurriedly ran down where she didn't found her brother instead only a plate at the dining table meaning her brother was already gone. Explains, they went to different schools. Nick was in a all boys school as that school was very famous for sports. If it would have been other times Amber would have preferred to walk school like usual but she couldn't do that thus time. She was already running late. School had already started so she asked Charles their must trusted butler to give her a ride to school which he gladly obliged. " Thank you uncle." though Charles was a butler but he had been taking caring of Amber and Nick since they were kids so he was more of a family member for them. Amber waved bye to Charles and made run to reach her class. She didn't even stop anywhere to catch breath, she was running as fast as she could, panting because of exhaustion. She stopped for a second to catch her breath when finally she was standing in front of class. After few deep breathes she hesitantly opened the door and peeked inside, finally completely entering inside while fiddling her fingers in nervousness. " Miss Cooper detention. Now take you seat." the teacher said sternly, the detention part was just so obvious as she was thirty minutes late so Amber gave a short nod before muttering a sorry sir and okay sir. Amber walked as silently as she could, almost tip toeing. " How did you get late?" Emily asked Amber as soon as she sat beside her. " Slept in this morning." Amber mumbled in a low voice. " Amber your its your hair your bird nest. I can't decide." Hannah whispered to her while chuckling lightly. Amber sighed at her friend. She was sure she was looking like a mess as specially as she didn't even had time to blow dry her hair so her hair was a tangled mess well not exactly as similar as a bird nest but yeah close enough. She tried to smoothen them by combing her fingers through them which certainly helped to some extent. " Finally..." Hannah stretched her arms while Emily yawned. Everyone had started to walk out of the class as finally school had come to an end with a boring physics class. Not that the subject was boring it was just the teacher who spoke so slowly which could make even an owl sleep, during NIGHT. As much as Amber wanted to be happy about the fact she couldn't be. She had detention. She had no mood for it but it wasn't like she had a say in it. She bid Emily and Hannah bye as they look at their friend and at her bad luck. Amber sided to go washroom to wash her face first because she was just too sleepy specially after that ever so long physics lecture that she could barely keep her eyes open now. After splashing cold water on her face for a few times she was feeling better now. She heaved a sigh. Still detention to go. She dragged her feet to the library where evil librarian Ms Lina was setting her thick glasses as she read a book that she must have read a thousand times already but she didn't care about that anyway. " Miss Cooper, Detention right?" Ms Lina confirmed from me as I entered inside the library. " Yes ma'am." Amber replied with a nod. " Go and set the books serial wise." she declared and went back to reading her book while adjusting her glass at the tip of her nose. Amber mumbled a yes hopping the teacher had heard her. Even if she didn't Ms Lina didn't care as she was too engrossed in the story she was reading currently. Amber made her way towards the book shelfs brushing her fingers lightly at the books as she walks across the shelf. Her eyes fell on a book and the title was catchy enough to make her pull it out. But she got startled. She got startled because from the gap had that because of the book she pulled out she could see a pair of eyes. So she tried to peek from the gap to see who was it. And she wished she hadn't because she didn't like the face she was welcomed with. She seriously seemed to have upset gods today or something for her to have such a bad luck. " You..." the words escaped from Amber's lips in a high pitched voice before she could register. " Don't yell Amber. I am not deaf you know." Sam hadn't noticed Amber there as both of them were opposite sides of the shelf and Sam was too busy in setting books to notice anything until he heard Amber's shrill. " What are you doing here?" Amber asked almost confused. " Setting books. " Sam replied shortly getting back to setting books. " But Why?" she questioned again still looking at him waiting for an answer. " Are you dumb or what! I got detention too. For your information Miss Sherlock I was late too. I was barely earlier than by two minutes." Sam roared in agitation. He was getting annoyed due to the constant questioning. He wasn't some criminal needed to be interrogated for god's sake. He grumbled. He was already in a foul mood and Amber wasn't helping. " If you don't mind I have some books to set. So excuse me." without waiting for Amber reply he started setting books one by one. Amber was decided not to say anything anymore and quietly started setting books too. It wasn't like Sam and Amber hated each other it was always that they didn't click together which always led to unwanted clashing. " Too much for a detention." Amber muttered under her breath. She was didn't know how both of them going to spend this time together without ending up killing one another.
