The Secret Life I Live

Chapter 3

Addisons P.O.V
I woke up bright and early around 8:30, getting ready for school. I took a 10 minute shower and took care of all my hygiene. Just threw on something simple-- Black skinny jeans with a couple rips going down, a plain white t-shirt and my tan converses then I put on my diamond studs and MK watch. I decided to just put my hair up into a bun, I didn't really feel like doing anything to it. I grabbed my tan Chanel purse and was heading out of my room. As I was walking into Aubrey's room, I received a text from Marcus.

Marcus: Have a good day at school baby girl, be safe and don't forget to let me know what time you want to do dinner.

Me: thank you, have a good day and I wasn't gone forget just text me where you want to eat and we can go around 5.

I walk in Aubrey's room, "Bre I'm fixing to go to school then after I'm going to meet up with Marcus".
She looked at me with a smirk, "Hmmmm oh really? Is that why you decided to get cute today? I mean you could've did a little more though." I just stared at her for a second and looked at my phone to see it was almost 9  and I had to get to my class at 10.
"I don't feel like changing and it's not that serious and I don't need to impress his ass. He better be happy I accepted to go because I'm not in the mood for that either" She just looked at me and shook her head. "And when are you going to get your ass up? Don't you have to be at work by 11?" she looked at me and then her clock by her bed.
"Bitch its 9:05. I work 10 minutes away. What the hell im getting up this damn early for? Get yo ass out of my room with these dumb ass questions" she said laughing and putting her head under her covers. I grabbed her lotion off her TV stand and threw it at her. "Stupid bitch" she mumbled.
"Giiiirl shut up and take your ass to sleep. Love you" I said as I walked out her room. "I love you too!" she shouted as I was walking down the stairs. I grabbed a water bottle and was just going to stop by McDonalds on the way to school. I got in my car and drove off. Ed Sheeran, Thinking Out Loud started playing and I was singing along all loud and shit. As I was singing my mother called. I answered, "hey ma, what's up?" I said as I pulled into McDonalds drive thru.
"I was just calling to see how you were doing, I haven't talked to you lately." I pulled up fixing to order, "Hold on mom." Can I get a mcgriddle, oatmeal and an orange juice?" she read me my order back and told me the price and I started to pull up.
"Ok ma, im back but how have you and dad been?" I asked getting my food and pulling away. "Well we have been good. The restaurants are great and your dads business have been good, how are you?" I pulled up to a red light and started eating some of my mcgriddle. "Well you know I've been occupied with school and working at the boutique with Bre. Same old stuff" she sighed as I brought up Aubrey. My mom doesn't necessarily like my choice of friends and I honestly don't care. She is forever trying to control my life.
"Why do you have to hang around someone like her? Can't you just at least try to make friends with someone of a higher standard?" I rolled my eyes not feeling like having this conversation. Since she and dad have made it as big as they have, she acts like she is better than everyone. He always try to tell her that she shouldn't be like that, but she doesn't care. She acts as if we didn't once live by the same people she is looking down on.
"Look mom, I am 21 years old. I can make my own decisions. This is the same girl I grew up with since middle school. Same person who has been there through everything, just because her parents didn't come up like you and dad did doesn't make her any less than us. If you are going to sit here and criticize my friends then you can just not call any longer and look to dad to see how im doing." I was now irritated and didn't feel like talking anymore. She sure knows how to ruin my mood. Me and my mom have never been close so this is nothing new.
"But baby I just want the best for you. You know you can do better and just chose not to admit it." I parked the car and took a deep breath. "You know what mom, you're really pissing me off and I don't want to talk to you anymore. Goodbye." I hung up and got my oat meal fixing to walk in class to Clark Atlanta. I grabbed my purse making sure I had a couple pens and my books and notebooks." Let the day begin.
