Fables Academy (TWAU)

Chapter 1-First day back

|Snow|

I awoke in the morning like a zombie. I was still completely exhausted even having seven hours of sleep. Another day... I sighed heavily and pushed myself out of bed.

I walked into the kitchen and sat at the table. Rose, my extremely annoying and hyperactive sister, jumped into her chair next to me moments later.

"Oh, finally you're up sis," she nudged me playfully.

"A woman needs her beauty sleep!" I snapped. Man, I was so not a morning person.

"Ok, no need to bite my head off!" She exclaimed.

"Stop annoying your sister Rose. I'm sick of hearing you two fighting all the time!" Mum sighed impatiently and she brought pancakes over to us.

Of course Rose was already showered and dressed. Being beat every morning by my younger sister made me feel stupid since I was older and should be setting an example to her. Shame I had to be the lazier one when it comes to sleep.

I inhaled my pancakes and rushed to the bathroom to have a shower. If I'm late again, I'm gonna get detention. You only get two chances when it comes to my school, and I've already been late once.

After I ate, I had a shower, put on makeup, and got changed into my boring, grey uniform. That's when I heard the bus arriving outside our house.

"Bus is here!" Mum yelled at us. What was weird is that I beat Rose to the door everyday, yet she beat me at waking up. We were strange siblings.

"Where's miss goody two shoes?" I asked impatiently. Rose ran down the stairs and joined me a few moments later.

"Sorry, I had to text Jack," she blushed. Rolling my eyes, I opened the door and made my way over to the bus with Rose behind me.

"Why do you even date him? He's such a player," I snorted. Apparently Jack had had about twenty girlfriends within the past two years, each one he had cheated on with another. But Rose denied this unfortunately because she was just too blind to see it. I felt quite sorry for her since he was practically the biggest player in school. Apart from my ex.

"No he's not Snow! Just because you're jealous that you don't have a boyfriend doesn't mean you have to take it out on me!" She snapped.

"You don't need a man to make you happy Rose. And no, I'm not jealous of you," I stated calmly. It was offensive that she would even say that! That's really hitting below the belt.

I climbed on the bus and sat next to Beauty. And as the name intended, she did look quite beautiful today. Her blonde hair was curled and her makeup was on point, showing off her perfect cheekbones. Beauty was a total diva with her style, even making our uniform look better than it was, and her $120 leather handbag proved that.

Her eyes sparkled with happiness as I sat down.

"How come you're so happy today Beauty? You look like you're about to explode," this wasn't her usual behaviour. Probably a sale at H&M or something.

"Ok, ok, I'm in a good mood. I got my allowance today so do you want to go shopping with me and Cindy? I'm overexcited about this dress I saw the other day that made my heart drop! You need to see it!" Knew it. Typical Beauty.

"I'd love to come," I gave her a fake smile. Ugh dress shopping.

To be honest, I hated shopping, and hearing about a dress doesn't excite me at all frankly. But it's better than sitting around the house for the rest of the day anyway. Oh the joys of school.

When we finally arrived, it was almost bell time. And I really needed to wake up before I pass out from tiredness.
