"Iris! Are you honestly kidding me?" My mother screams at me from down stairs. I groan as I push the covers off myself and hang my legs off the side the bed. "You better get your ass up right now! What makes you think you were allowed to go to sleep when this mess is still here?!"
I stand up on the cold wooden floor and make my way to the entrance of my room, my mom took off my door last week saying that I didn't deserve to have privacy. So what does she do? Makes me, myself, take off my own door. Yeah pathetic.
I walk to the top of the stairs and look down at her, "Sorry ma'am, what mess didn't I clean last night?"
She crosses her arms across her chest, and shifts from one leg to the other. "It was the one thing I asked you to do last night, and of course unreliable Iris can't even do that." Yeah the one thing you asked me to do last. Is she being serious right now? She starts stomping up the stairs towards me. "Stand up straight when you are speaking to me!"
I instantly stand perfectly straight, and put my hands to my sides like a statue.
"Thank you." she's says to me with a smirk because she know she has more control over me than a regular mother does. "The one thing I asked you to do was to put together the four rooms for our new guest that should be arriving today." She stands right in front me. "Please explain to me why you couldn't even do that?"
I don't look at her when I speak she feels that is disrespectful. So I look past her at the wall. "Sorry Ma'am, I was unaware that you asked me to do so. I’ll do it before school whether I am late or not.” Fantastic the one thing I don't need is to be late, but as long as she is off my back I'm better off.
I see her smile "Thank you, Iris that would be wonderful. The five boys should be here before you get home from school, so if you could possibly get home early today too, that would be helpful as well." I nod; she pats my shoulder as if I am dog, "Good girl."
She walks past me to my younger sister, Amy's, room to tell her that the 1D boy’s will be arriving today. I turn around to go back to my room, when I hear her scream of joy. I shake my head at her, unbelievable. I enter my room quickly, going to grab the door but come up empty handed realizing there is nothing to grab hold of, I sigh as I make my way to get clothes.
I grab a light grey long sleeve shirt, a pair of light skinny jeans, my black vans, and a black jacket. I brush my hair quickly, then my teeth, and put on foundation and blush.
"Iris! Get started on what you need to do today!" I hear my mother scream from down the hall.
I walk out the doorframe to the hall way and turn to my left down the hallway to the set of stairs that lead to the third floor. I could say we were rich as hell, but that only applies to my mother and my three siblings: Amy, Manson, and Eli. They are the “royal” one's, I'm just the one that stands along them as their maid, literally their maid.
I make my way up the stairs to the bedrooms. I enter the first one that is a nice size with one bed a bathroom and walk in closet that connects to the next bedroom. I grab the blue comforter with the light blue sheets and pillow cases that come with it. I make the bed and move onto the next room through the walk in closet. I make this bed with red sheets.
I leave that room, back into the hallway and go across the way into another room that is just like the one I was in, only it was connected by the bathroom instead . I made this bedroom with green sheets, and walked into the next room and made that bed with black sheets.
I go back out into the hallway, and go into the linen closet that is at the end of the hallway. I grab all four towels and match them with the colors of the room. I go back to the linen closet grab a couple rolls of toilet paper and put them on the toilet paper holder and place some in the cabinets
I then hear my mother's heels clank up the stairs. I groan mentally knowing I probably have to do something else.
"Iris, I just remember that there are five boys but only four beds, so I called the furniture place and they are going to deliver the bed before school gets out. You will have to move it and set it up in here in the biggest room." She examines each room to make sure everything is fine. She turns back to me. "So you will need to go buy another bed set for the last bed." She hands me a fifty, "Oh I almost forgot, there is a maids outfit for you in your room, while the boys are here you are to dress in that. You are to bow respectfully to them, do everything they ask with no complaints. You are not to say anything at all about how you are related to me or my children, for all they know you're a maid I have hired." I nod my head, a slightly look down to the floor as respect.
"Thank you, you may go to school. Remember to pick up the bed set and to be home before school ends to get the bed ready." I stay in my bowed position until she leaves first.
I stand up straighter once she leaves the room, rolling my eyes as she clumps down the stairs in her to high heels. I then check the clock on the wall and it says 7:10. I run downstairs to my room and grab my bag from the corner of my room, I look at my bed see that the maid outfit that was really there. Is she that dumb, man do I hate her.
I grab my keys off the side table by the door along with my phone. I run down the stairs to the first floor. I walk out the door and shut it gently. I run to my beat up white 2000 Honda Accord. I jump in and back up out of my too big of a drive way. I make my way to Bed Bath and Beyond deciding to get the bed set before school while I still have some time. I quickly run through the store to the back looking for bed sets when I find them, I look through all the selections that they have on display, I find the colors tan, orange, yellow, pink, and white.
I strand there not sure which would make my mom happy. I look at the prices to find that they are on sale $15 each. So I grab the white, orange, and tan. I make way to the front and check my phone to see the time,7:22. I have two minutes.
I start to shake my leg as the old cashier women was taking her sweet time checking the items. She looks up at me and smiles, I force a smile on my face. She bags the comforters up, "That'll be $46.89, please." I hand her my money she gives me my cash back and I sprint out the door to my car. I throw the bags in the back seat, turn my engine on and race to my school.
While I'm driving my phone goes off, I look down at the caller ID 'devil." which is my mother. I put it on speaker.
"Iris!!! The boys are here! Get your ass home right now!!" she screams into the phone.
"I have to go to school Ma'am. Just entertain th-" I get cut off.
"How dare you speak back to me, get home now or you won't be given your allowance for a month."
"Yes Ma'am." I click the end button I sigh not really caring about my allowance, but more that she will murder me if I don’t show up. I turn my blinkers on and turn around to meet these five boys who call themselves 'One Direction'
