The Loser Effect

Chapter 1

"Sophia"... It's a faint noise that is ringing in my ears. It's one of those moments where you're not sure if you're still asleep and the dream is calling you or it is your mom screaming you. I subconciously tell myself that it can't be my mom. "Sophia Brooke, Get your butt up right now I mean it!" I groan as I realize that it is actually my mom and she is screaming at me from the edge of my warm and comfortable bed.

"Wake up, wake up, wake up!!!" She says while shaking my bed. "UGH, fine. I'm getting up." I say while sitting up from my mattress and rolling off of it.

"Thank you. Now that wasn't so hard now was it." She says with a grin plastered on her face as she walks out of my room.

"Yes it was mom can't you see the that summer was literally like 5 seconds long! I need more time, more sun and more fun or else I'm going die." I dramatically throw myself back on my bed in attempt to prove a point of how tired I still am.

She pops her back while I'm scattered on the bed with my eyes slightly closed so its looks like I'm "asleep".

"Well if you don't hurry yourself I can tell you right now that it's not going to take you 5 seconds to get to school while your walking over there."

With that I open my eyes completely snap open and stand to my feet. "Ok. Ok. No need for the threats now." I slighly laugh as I grab my towel and walk around her to go to the bathroom. As I close the door behind me, I feel an unwelcoming knot in my stomach that keeps growing as I start the water.

I close my eyes in the hopes that I could concentrate on my breathing, but it's doesn't seem like it's working. I pull my hair into a high bun so I don't get my head wet, and step into the shower.

I try to let the hot warm relax me but it seems too cold today. Today was finally the day. First days of school always made me panic a little, but I would seem to get over in once I was there.

"I'm going to be able to see my friends, find my new classes, and enjoy the horrible lunch food," I breath to myself. " I might even be able to meet new people." I smile.

That was something I didn't really want though, well not relationship wise, as in meeting somene like that. This year is going to be my year. Where I focus on nothing but school, friends, and family. Who really needs a relationship anyways? I'm just happy with what I have now.

I roll my head around so that the water reaches as close to my neck as possible. It is actualy quite relaxing, but then an alarming feeling falls on me. How long have I been thinking in here? Oh gosh I need to get out. I hurry and wash my body.

I finally shut the water off and step out of the shower and hastily wrap the towel around my body and rush across to my room. Most days I wouldn't really try on my clothes, but this is not like most days. After about 20 minutes, I don't even know what to wear so I just end up giving and just throw on one of my favorite band shirt, ripped jeans, and my vans. So much for caring about my outfit today. For my hair,I Iet down my brown glowish locks and run my fingers through my hair. "That should be good enough," I encourage myself terribly. As for makeup, I just put concealer and powder. A little nude glitter eye shadow, and just plain old mascara. There is nothing really special about so I dont see a point in trying anymore.

I sigh as I look at the plain girl staring back at me and harshly look away.

"Sophia Brooke!"

"I'm coming mom, i'm just getting my stuff!"

"I'm walking out!"

I rush down the stairs and see her by the door with her laptop case and purse in one hand and her phone and what looks like breakfast in the other. I laugh and walk over to help her with her things.

"Thank you." she smiles.

"You're welcome. And see you wanted to leave and you don't even have an arm to open the door with."

"Whatever." She chuckles.

I grab the keys off the hook on the wall and open the front door.

" Ok kid, ready for your first day?"

With the knot building in my stomach again, I try to not let her see my face as a stare at the ground while I walk to the car.

" Yeah.. um of course. It's going to be great.." The drive is about 25 minutes because of traffic which means I have that much time to make my nerves chill. I think i'm to need a lot more time then that.
