*Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz*
"Ugh!" Allegra groaned, reaching over soft, silky sheets towards her nightstand and feeling around for her phone. As her hand closed around the cold metal and plastic she pushed herself up so she was on her elbows and lifted the phone to her ear.
"What?" Was her very irritated greeting.
"You sound cheery!" Came the far too enthusiastic response.
"It's..." She paused to look over at the digital clock on the nightstand. "Seven in the damn morning! Why are you calling me?"
"Just thought I'd call to see how my lovely baby sister's senior year is!" Valentino Nardovino's voice was scratchy through the phone connection. "Aren't you supposed to be getting up for class soon anyway?"
"You forget yourself, Val. I never wake up in time for school!" She giggled and rolled over, brushing her long, dark hair out of her face.
"How could I forget that? I used to have to give you wake up calls when you were in middle school."
"That's exactly why you called me this morning, wasn't it?"
"Don't question my motives, Allie!" He laughed.
"I'm right, aren't I?"
"Yeah, pretty much."
"Well, thanks for the extra alarm, but I am awake now. I'll talk to you later, Val!" She pressed the hang up button before he could argue and fell back against the pillows, blowing her hair away from her eyes. "Well, fine." She muttered under her breath, realizing that she was, in fact, wide awake now and pushed herself out of the bed.
It took a good five minutes for Allegra to smooth all the knots and tangles out of her hair. She padded towards the bathroom and dug through her giant make up box finding her usual eyeshadow, eyeliner, powder, and lip gloss. She covered her skin so no blemish showed on it, for now at least. The thin veil of it would wear off in several hours and she'd have to do an emergency re-application between classes, but that was normal. She re-entered room 203 and began searching around through her dresser for clothes.

Steffy knocked on the door of room 203. Pushing open the doors without waiting for an answer as usual.
"Morning Al, you ready for class? We're gonna be late..." she called out.

"Am I ever ready for class?" Allegra raised her eyebrows and continued digging through her drawers until she came across all the bits and pieces of the Epson Academy uniform. She threw it on, gave her hair one final brush and grabbed her powder blue Prada back pack and gray fringed purse. "Alright, I guess this is best defined as 'ready'." She walked towards the door.
"Man, I tell you, I missed Epson, but I definitely did not miss these uniforms." She said. "They're cramping my style.... I miss the freedom of vintage!" She giggled lightly and tossed her hair over her shoulder.

"Tell me about it " rolling her eyes, the school board was so rigid about uniforms. They seriously needed to get off their backs about minor unimportant stuff like that. She twisted her hair into a french plait before letting it down, fiddling with her fringe. Seeing Allie almost ready, she took out her schedule from her Burberry limited edition tote to check her classes.
" AP sciences " she said, frowning, she hated science especially AP but she did surprisingly well.

Allegra adjusted her gray/green plaid skirt and pulled down the sleeves of her blazer. The Epson Academy tie was not required but hung loosley around her neck around an unbuttoned collar. The outfit was fnished with lacey tan tights and black, shiny, patent leather Michael Kors pumps with a small heel. "Although, I guess we can't really complain. I've heard there are private schools around the place that don't allow any variation. There are even some that require the exact same shoes for every student." She cringed a little and quickly tied her hair up into a loose bun that lay against the nape of her neck. She mussed the top of her head so her bangs fell along the right side of her face. "I'll do something more original with it tomorrow," She told Steffy. "I just really can't be bothered today."
Following Steffy's lead she also pulled her schedule out. "AP?" She asked with a bewildered expression. "It never ceases to amaze me how some of you guys are actually good at science. Anyway, I have AP Lit. Oh, hell." The last word fell from her deep pink lips with a slight sarcastic smile. English was her best (and favorite) class.

Steffy's blazer hung loosely around her left arm. She didn't usually wear it unless she was in trouble. Her tie was done in a way similar to Allie. Her sleeves were folded up to her elbows, with her plaid skirt a little too short but she didn't give a damn. She raised an eyebrow at Allie's outfit before giving her a understanding look.
" Who can? On the first day of class? " shaking her head in mock despair.
Steffy laughed, " Sure, if you think burning somebody's hair with the bunsen is good ", shuddering at the memory. During a class, she had burnt her lab partner hair accidentally, never saw her again.

"Very true." Allegra nodded with a grin. "It's probably not gonna be that long before I'm not bothered with even putting make up on for class...." She shrugged and then paused. "Hold on," She held up her hand, dropped both of her bags and began digging through her dresser again. "Come on, where is it?" She muttered to herself, throwing random garments on the floor simply to get them out of the way. "Ahahaha!" She proclaimed with a triumphant tone, tugging a light gray, cable knit, v-neck sweater from a drawer with some difficulty.
"Sorry, just in case I get cold." She told Steffy. "Anyways, setting someone on fire with a bunsen burner definitely sounds like an awesome goal for AP science. It's not wonder I'm not in that class, it just sounds beyond my ability!" She laughed a little.

Steffy gave her a mock shocked look when she said she wasn't gonna do that anymore before saying, " What has gotten into you?"
"Sebs?" she muttered, not sure if she could hear her.
" I know right? Science is so complicated " she laughed along with her. Before sitting down on the bed. She figured that Allie was gonna take long.

"What was that?" Allegra raised her dark eyebrows and looked over at Seffy with a very confused look in her brown eyes. "Did you say something about Seb? Or... Sob?" She frowned a little, creating ever so slight ridges in her forehead. "Nothing's gotten into me... I just... I don't know, we've been going to this school since seventh grade and we've all known each other forever, for the most part. I don't see much point in trying to impress people anymore. Besides, I like the feeling of not wearing make up every single day. It's oddly liberating."
"Oh, I know! I just don't know how on earth you go through all that. My tiny non-scientific brain just couldn't handle it!" She put on a very feigned, very pathetic damsel-in-distress voice and lifted hand to her forehead.

Steffy frowned, sitting upright when she heard Allie. "Err nothing, i said you should go for the soft look " she said biting her lip, hoping she believed her. She decided to quickly change the subject, " That's true, we'd both look good with or without make up " she said giving her a cheeky smile, fiddling with her hair.

"Soft look? What do you mean?" Allegra tilted her head slightly to the left, studying Steffy's face with a curious expression painted over her features. "But yeah, you're right. With or without make up. And, if we decide not to wear it, that gives us at least another ten or fifteen minutes to sleep in the morning." She grinned. "You know I love my sleep. Could even give you more depending on how long it takes you to get yourself made up." She shrugged and ran her fingers through her dark hair, brushing it away from her face.
"And besides, we both look killer regardless of make up. Guys would be all over us even if we were going au naturel!"

Steffy shook her head, "Nothing, i don't even know what i'm talking about, that feel minutes of sleep sounds so good right now" she said trying to wake herself up.
" Duh " she said, grinning. She stood up, "Cmon, we'll be late " she said dragging her out of room 203.
