I groaned as the alarm sounded, pulling me harshly from my cosy dream. Reality. “Hallie. You better wake up, or you're be late again.” My sister's voice echoed through the door, asking if I was awake. Why did she always have to be so perfect? She was always up on time and always going on about how excited she would be to find her mate. “Go away, Veronica,” I yelled as she continued to bang on my bedroom door. I rolled my eyes and headed to the bathroom, turning on the shower to drown out her annoying banging and shouting.
