I wish I was still 5, at least then my life was what you would call perfect.
My parents were and still are amazing. My three older siblings were there with me every second of the day, however, I don't know where they are anymore. I have no idea what happened and when it happened, but they disappeared and I never saw them again.
Either way, my life was perfect and carefree, but now being 17 years old, and having a billion, well not a billion, but so many problems in my life involving so many things and people, I am so annoyed.
Mrs Carlton, my history teacher, is definitely going to kill me when she finds out that a dog ate my homework, literally. She'll never believe me, so I won't even bother trying to compromise.
As I walked through the big halls of 'Wolfmane Highschool' I spotted my best friend, Alex.
He is an annoying jerk, but that's why I love him. We have always been friends ever since that one time when we were four and he coloured my hair red with a marker while I was daydreaming about, what I'm pretty sure was an ice cream talking to me, and told me I was a cool kid. Weird way to become friends but whatever.
I wandered over to Alex and opened my locker to get my things.
"Hey, so we have band practice today, don't forget, meet at our spot when it's gym class," Alex announced.
"Alright then, by the way, when is Amani returning, we need her on the drums," I said.
"Lucky for you guys", a voice said just as Alex and I turned around, "Amani will be back today right in time for practice, and hey, I'm pretty good with the drums too," Aliya spoke as she chuckled.
"Hey, Liya", I began, "You're pretty good with the drums, but we all know Amani is the one we need, and you are much better at the keyboard, and we need you for that," I finished.
"I mean... I am good at the keyboard, haha. Oh, also Bonnie and Jayden are getting back today as well. So the entire band is back together, good for us. Anyways, I'll see you guys in class." She said and proceed to walk off with a smile on her face.

The day went by pretty quickly and turns out Mrs Carlton was taking a day off so I didn't have to get in trouble.
It was time for gym class but I headed straight for the back entrance of the school. I know skipping class isn't the best thing to do, but what can I say, the band is finally getting back together after two months with every member, so this is an exception.
We only had two of the Castellan triplets, Aliya and Alina, with us, while Amani was travelling the world once again. I was present and so was Alex but we had my godparents, Raquel and Ezekiel, fill in for two other members, Bonnie and Jayden, who were gone due to some family business in Italy regarding their daughter.
Our band consists of Alex, the lead guitarist, Jayden, the rhythm guitarist, Amani, the drummer, Alina, the bassist, Aliya, the keyboardist, Bonnie, the back-up, and lastly, me, the lead singer. We are a septet (seven members) band, called the Silverdust Wolves.
