Another Broken Smile

3- Melodies of the Sky

The alarm beeped again making me groan in frustration. I finally decide to give up my search for the snooze button. Uuugghhh stop ringing!! The warmth of the blankets engulf me and all I want to do is sleep forever. My phone starts going off in an annoying high school musical song. Don't get me wrong, high school musical is a great movie and I love it to bits but listening to Sharpay's annoying voice early in the morning is not something I look up to. I grunt at my fruitless attempt to get more sleep. I pick up the phone knowing perfectly well it is Adeline. She sets annoying ,or at times ,embarrassing songs as her ringtones to trouble me at odd hours of the day.

Once she set her ringtone as 'Teenage Dreams' by Katy Perry. I love that song; but definitely not when the ringtone starts blasting from your phone when you are sitting in a tedious period of algebra. The teacher gave me a stern glance and all the boys in the room kept giving me suggestive looks for the rest of the week. My cheeks had turned crimson from embarrassment. I was handed a detention slip for not keeping my phone on silent during class and guess what? When I tell Adeline about this flustered to no end, all she does is crack up laughing. Such a darling best friend isn't she?

"Hello" I grunt into the annoyingly loud phone and the person at the other end. Being my best friend, she should well know that I am not a morning person. Not to be judgmental or anything, but any person who willingly gets their butts out of their beds before at least 8 in the morning is a self declared weirdo.

"Hey hey hey miss sunshine, looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today" she replies casually.

"Why the hell would you set that annoying song as my ringtone?" I ask

"For your reaction, stupid" she says, "okay, I am leaving the house in five minutes. I hope you're ready"

"What?" I ask horrified. Had it been so late? How long have I been ignoring the alarm? I push the comforters away and frantically try to search for my alarm clock. The blanket is tangled with my legs and due to the excessive flailing of my arms and legs I fall off the bed flat on my butt gaining another laugh from Adeline, already knowing exactly what just happened.

"Okay that's it I've got to go" I say before hanging up on her. I swear she calls me every morning not to remind me that she is giving me a ride but to laugh at my lazy ass . I love my best friend and all but sometimes that girl makes me wanna punch something.

I wake up and get ready for the day. Taking a hot shower I quickly slip on some clean clothes. Grey leggings, a printed skirt, a black top and a dark blue jacket. What else is missing? Hmmm.... A white scarf. I open my wavy brown hair which fall to my shoulders. I curl them before grabbing my purse. A light coat of makeup and I am done. Voila!

I walk to the kitchen, starting to prepare breakfast for everyone. A sunny side-up egg, a bowl of cereal and a fruit salad with strawberry yoghurt. I go through a checklist in my mind and set up their breakfast on the table. I'll just grab a snack bar. Who cares?

I start cleaning up the kitchen before heading out to school. First, Meghan comes down all dressed up in her business suit, quickly eats up her breakfast and leaves. Carol and Carla soon come down in their unbelievably short dresses. The temperature is falling rapidly as winter begins and I cannot understand how some people can wear such short dresses and survive. I would have frozen and died in outfits like theirs. I mean I am wearing my leggings, scarf and a jacket and all they are covered up is in some small pieces of clothes and a hell lot of makeup. Maybe they think that the makeup protects their whole body from the cold too. Heaven knows. They are part of the popular group in their school, or so they say. I am so glad that they are not in my school. I go to a local high school while they go to a private high school filled with snobby rich brats of their kind.
