I woke up with a start—again. It was Monday, and I’d overslept, of course. My phone was silent on the nightstand, a glaring reminder that I’d forgotten to set my alarm. I lay there for a long minute, just staring at the ceiling, trying to shake off the hazy remnants of sleep and the heavy weight of the previous weekend’s events. I knew today was going to be another battle with Jace, and that thought alone made me groan.
The hell have I gotten myself into? Still wasn't giving up though.
Dragging myself out of bed, I shuffled to my closet and pulled on whatever clean clothes I could find in a hurry. I didn’t have time for fashion—just enough to get to school and survive the day. I barely managed to fix my hair, not that I cared too much about it when I was running late.
