"Wake up" is all I hear as the banging from outside my door gets louder and louder. When the door knob starts to turn, I flop over in my warm nest that I must have made durning the night and throw the sheets on my bed off of my tanned legs.
"Kai get your damn butt up"
*knock knock*
"I'm up, I'm up"
I slowly and painfully walk over to my door and turn the metal knob, when I open my door I see my best friend of almost twelve years, Jamie.
Jamie's one of the most prettiest girls I've ever met, with her long dark brown hair almost at her hip bones and her hazel eyes with a hint of blue make her gorgeous!
then there's me, my dirty blonde hair that's basically just light brown that sits almost under my rib cage and my plane brown eyes. I've always been jealous of Jamie because she looks like she's out of a magazine. She wears the most amazing clothing even though we don't have the same taste in the wardrobe department.
"Aren't you gonna get dressed?" she angrily says to me.
"oh, um yeah I am just hold on"
I turn around and walk into my bathroom that's attached to my room, Its also attached to my older sister Bella's room.
She moved out the day after her eighteenth birthday, she always had a problem with our parents, she never listened and always got in trouble. But when we were younger we were inseparable. I was only twelve when she moved out. When I found out that she had left, I felt abandoned and hurt. That's one reason I have trust issues. My parents are still together but they have their ups and downs, especially since my dad got promoted at his job and he's hardly home anymore. My mom just puts up with it because he gets paid well enough to take care of all five of us.
As I brush my teeth I hear screaming coming from down the hallway, I spit my toothpaste into the sink, wash my mouth out with water and walk out of the bathroom. I head into the hall only to find my little brother and sister running in and out of every room screaming at the top of their lungs.
"Marc stop chasing Sam"
Marc and Samantha are my eight year old twin siblings. I take care of them most of the time because our mom is usually busy paying bills and our dad, well he's never home. when I get them settled down I tell them to get dressed and brush their teeth. Then I walk back into my room and pick out something to wear, I decide on my blue jeans, converse and my black sweater with the logo of my favourite band, The soaring stripes. They aren't very popular in the city of Toronto. I go back into my bathroom and put a tiny bit of mascara on, that's really the only type of make up I wear. I mean, I am sixteen but I don't like covering my whole face in powdery stuff. Once I'm done getting ready I head to my door, grab my bag and keys and turn off my light. I walk down the hallway into the kitchen and see Jamie eating a bowl of cereal and looking at her phone.
"oh you're finally dressed" she says in an annoyed sounding tone.
"it's not my fault I take so long"
"well it's about to be, we gotta hurry if we wanna beat the senior crowd"
"I know"
I walk back down the hallway into the twins room and bring them into the kitchen, the bus pulls up in front of our house and the twins run outside and get on. Once the bus leaves, we leave too.
As Jamie and I start approaching the front of our school I spot Angel Montclair.
She's the most popular girl in the school, people say she's slept with every guy you could find in that school.
Disgusting is what I call it.
"Just don't look at her and she won't bug you" Jamie always says.
There are only a few reasons why I can't stand Angel, one being that she is really only popular for being born with good looks and nice hair. Second being she's bullied me since who knows when and third, is one I don't like announcing but its that her and Tanner Heart are together. Tanner Heart is the popular jock in our school. I've liked him since the seventh grade, I don't exactly remember why I started liking him but it's been three years and I still get that butterfly feeling when I walk past him in the halls.
I don't like admitting I like him even though Jamie says it's totally noticeable when ever I'm around him.
"You'd still look better with him then she does" I hear Jamie say as I realize I've stopped walking
"huh"
oh no, Jamie's caught me staring at him again
"ha only problem is he doesn't even know I exist"
"we can fix that" Jamie says with a smirk
I hear the bell ring and I wave good bye and head to my locker.
Unfortunately my locker is right across from Tanner's, which means Angel is there every day.
Today she gives me the same thing from her I get everyday, a look up and down and then I tiny giggle.
I locked my locker and was just about to turn around when the faint smell of a flowery perfume and expensive heels filled my lungs.
I turned around and the next thing I knew I was soaking wet with what I thought was water but then couldn't tell.
Everyone stared and then all in perfect cinque, came the laughter. I peaked over to see if Tanner was still there, he wasn't.
I could feel the tears starting to burn my eyes, I needed to get out of there. I quickly grabbed my bag from the ground and made a run for the bathroom.
