I wake up to the beeping of my my alarm clock. It's 5am. I made sure to give myself an extra hour to get ready so nothing goes wrong. It's my first day of my senior year of high school and I want to make sure everything goes smoothly. I've managed to get this far with straight A's and an average popularity. I don't know exactly how , since my two best friends keep trying to get me to stand out ... They're so pushy but I love them to death. My shy and timid nature makes it easier for me to stay invisible and when you have two drop dead gorgeous girls walking beside you , no one would even notice if you were wearing a neon orange shirt that says "I will strip for food" in huge bold letters , a green wig and rainbow leggings.
I head to the bathroom to brush my teeth and shower. On my way , I glance at my reflection in the mirror , I look a bit fuzzy , mostly because I just woke up but my features are pretty average. Guys don't really pay much attention to me , they mostly look at the slim blonde girls anyway . I have chocolate brown locks , hazel eyes and light freckles on my nose and cheeks , I have double C's which I'm thankful for . They're not too big but not small. I have a small waist, which I worked all summer for and fairly wide hips which make my figure look curvy. Of course I'm not as gorgeous as the girls at school but I'm not too bad.
I quickly brush my teeth , strip and step into the shower. I let the warm water wash away my nervousness and I tell myself that today will go by smoothly. I finish showering and dry myself with a towel. I already chose an outfit for today. I normally wear dark wash jeans and t-shirts or hoodies but today I decided to go with a blue jean denim print sun dress the girls had me buy when we went shopping.
I quickly get dressed and decide to go with my blue ballet flats. I dry and straighten my hair , I leave it down. One of the things I love the most about myself is my chocolate brown hair , it stops mid back but I mostly wear it in a pony tail. I apply some Chapstick to my light pink lips and take one last look at myself in the floor length mirror. I grab my packed book bag and head downstairs to make breakfast for my mom and I since she's most likely not awake yet. I decide on making us some pancakes . I text Kitty to see if she needs a ride to school while looking for the ingredients.
I'm flipping the last pancake when mom comes down the stairs already dressed for work. My mom works at a publishing company. She's a very hardworking and caring person. She's the strongest person I know. She never gave up and never stopped pushing even when my dad left us when I was 3 years old. My mom had a rough childhood with an abusive father and drug addict for a mom but she never gave up and never stopped trying to make a life for herself. She met my dad in college and they dated for a long time and got married after they both graduated and a couple years later she had me. They were happy until dad started cheating . My mom found out and after that he just left. From what mom told me, he never showed up again but mom worked hard to support us and has never stopped. I love her so much.
"Good Morning Tay, you're up early, nervous for your first day of senior year ?", said mom. "G'morning mom, yeah I just hope everything goes smoothly " . "Everything will be fine sweetheart, do you want some help? " mom said, "No I'm almost done but you can make the coffee " , "Ok". I finished making the pancakes , got out the butter and syrup and set the table . I checked my phone and saw that Kitty replied *Yeah of course, I'll be there at 6:15 don't leave without me bitch xoxo*, I typed a quick "No promises xoxo" and sat down with my mom and started eating . "Will Kathrine be riding to school with you today? " mom said, "Yeah , she'll be here any time now".
A couple minutes later Kitty waltzed inside with a loud "Good Morning Ms Harper ", "Good Morning Kathrine, excited as always I see " , "Of course Ms Harper and you are as stunning as always, I can just imagine how hard the men in that office get when you walk by " Kitty said as she stared at my mom and bit her lip seductively. "Here we go again" I said as I rolled my eyes at my best friend. Kitty is my short , slim, gorgeous , pink haired , loud, bouncy, bisexual best friend.
"Thank you Kathrine but watch your mouth" my mom said as her cheeks tinted pink , she tried to hide it by getting up and clearing the table. "Of course Ms Harper , As much as I'd like to have my tongue all over you ... I'll watch what I say for your sake Ms H" Kitty said with a smirk. "Kathrine!" my mom gasped , "Ew " I said with a shudder. "What ? I'm just speaking my mind and being me" Kitty said with a shrug. This happens every day , Kitty flirts with my mom , she blushes and scolds her and I try not to hurl my breakfast.
"Pack it up Kitty , there are plenty of girls and guys at school, leave my mom alone" I say while I grab my bag and keys . "Aww but they're not as hot as her" Kitty says while smiling at my mom wryly . I walk to my mom , hugging her and kissing her cheek "Have a good day at work mom" I say , "Have a great day a school hun, and don't worry it will be fine" she says while smiling at me, I smile back at her . "Where is my kiss Ms H?" Kitty asks, "Bye Kathrine, have a great day " moms says . "Love you too Ms H " Kitty says while blowing mom a kiss, I roll my eyes while dragging Kitty out the door with me. I keep telling myself ...Today will go smoothly.
