The Diary of a Pretty Lady

chapter 1

"No , I am not going!"
I am screaming at the top of my lungs. Grunting and turning in my bed. The soft cushions are my safe haven. I can't let go just yet.

I hear grunting from the hallway. "Young lady you are going!" A strong male voice screams back. My dad's footsteps coming closer. He just came to wake me up for my first day of senior year and now doing god knows what in the hallway.

"But daddy, it is like the fifth school you are sending me to for the past two years. You hate me, I know it!" I fake cry, overly dramatic. I'm his little girl, these things have always worked.

Dad enters my room again and sits on the end of my bed."Sam please , you know I don't hate you. And I promise you this is the last school you are attending." He softly explains. He pinches my feet that are covered by a broken white sateen duvet. "Come on baby girl you know I only want the best for you. And with my new position, I can spoil you even more." He bribes me, moving his eyebrows up and down.

"OK , that's how I like it." I laugh finally sitting straight in my bed ready to step out. Of course I was already spoilt rotten before, but you don't hear me complaining.

Dad worked as the Chief Operating Officer in the world's most successful marketing company ; Adin Inc. He reported everything to the CEO of the company. So he has to keep close tabs on every one of their offices all over the world. Mom and dad are the typical lovey-dovey couple so mom couldn't miss him for more than 2 weeks. We followed dad over the whole world. From Abu Dhabi to Amsterdam to Sydney we've seen it all. Mostly we were getting homeschooled but we've gone to some private schools over the years.

But finally everything has changed. The old CEO thought he found a way around paying taxes. Of course it didn't turn out so well for him. He now has to face 3 years behind bars. And as the COO of the company it was only logic he was voted the new CEO. Now he has to be at the main office in L.A. -most of the time. So we can stay here at our new house in Santa Monica for longer than a year.

"Samantha Jules, get your big butt in the shower right now. I don't want to be late on the first day of school!" A deep voice demands trough the intercom. We have this little device where we can speak to someone on another room. It really comes in handy because I tend to not look at my phone and the house is way too big to go search someone just to tell them food is ready.

Damn I really have to be fast if I want to be on time. If there is one person who likes to go to school it is my twin brother Finn. Every time we switch schools he gets along with everybody in no time. He's funny and charming and maybe even handsome.

Heck, he was voted third on the 'sexiest man alive under 21' by Vogue. And I'm proud of him, but it doesn't hurt to be a bit more modest about it. If he wasn't my twin brother I would probably call him a big headed , egocentric narcissist. But actually to me he is the sweetest guy you could imagine.

Touch me or look at me the wrong way. Chances are you will get punched in the throat.

Before my brother can drag me out of my bed, I jump in the shower. I calculate the time and if I just grab an apple for breakfast I can make it just on time.

Fresh out of the shower I decide which clothes to wear. It is the beginning of September, it's pretty hot outside. So I choose my cute white skirt and a simple blue T-shirt tugged in it. It is simple but I know I look kind of cute.

I do not want to sound conceited but I know I can look pretty if I want to. I am the twin sister of Finn so I have to be at least a 7.

I tie my white converse and put my long black hair in a high ponytail. Searching for my Ray-Ban sunglasses I hear my brother yelling that it is time to go.

I am actually really nervous. Mostly I do not care about the first day of school because I know that we are not staying that long. But now that I know that I will attend this school my whole senior year I will have to find some friends of my own. Mostly in my other schools I was known as Finn's sister, sure I had my own personality but Finn's stood more out. I was fine with that all the time and Finn didn't leave my side all these years. But I don't want to be known only as his sister. I just want to be Sam Jules.
