Blended

Chapter 2

Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.

That is what I am thinking to do right now but I can't.

Why was mom acting like that? What could've happened to her? She changed in a night?

Can't find any answers.

Why was she acting weird and lying under the bed..all these questions rolling in my mind..could there even be any answers to this?

No.

I have to sleep right now! I don't have enough time to think about this!
Tara closes her eyes but can't sleep.
She gets down from her bed, stands straight up and walk towards the mirror.

Is this my reflection? She thinks.

Is this me? No, it can't be...I am not this ugly, what is even wrong with me?

"Nothing."

A voice calls from inside of her. She goes back to her bed, under the cover and closes her eyes and goes to sleep.

She dreams about her mother and her in her childhood, happy, free, pretty, cheerful, and all the good memories of them rolls through her head.

The next morning she wakes up late. At 10:00 a.m. Then she went for a bath and then dresses into a very beautiful dress.

She goes downstairs and found her mom sitting in the lounge, reading a newspaper.

She calls out to her mom, " Hey, Good Morning!"

Lisa says," Oh, you're awake, go prepare your breakfast."

Tara shouts to her mom," Excuse me, my breakfast should be made ready on the table!"

Lisa shouts back," You are excused but you are not a princess that you're breakfast should be prepared by someone else, is that clear?"

Tara turns towards the kitchen door and starts to prepare spaghetti alfredo which was taught to her by her mother when she was 12-years-old.

After that day, which was Sunday, it was Monday, and so Tara woke up early and then got dressed and without eating breakfast walks to school.

The time she reaches schools she sees her best friend Kiley coming
towards her.

"Hi Star!" Kiley said, 'star' was my nick name. "Hey, I missed you a lot on the weekend!" " Me too." " Yeah." " So how are you?" "What do you think, how am I?" "You look like you haven't slept like in a few days!"

"And you probably know the reason." "Your mom." "Yup." "Come on. You should just listen to what she says instead of talking back, you know."
"Don't teach me."

"Okay, I won't, so you know the football match is this Friday." "Of course, I know, I am the captain, duh!" "But you know our competitor Bella's team is so strong."

"We will give our best." "Just don't get blended because since you became our captain we have been losing almost every game..and that's not good for us and even for you."

"Kiley, I think that I am the most popular and intelligent girl here."

"Well, honestly speaking....you are the most disastrous girl here, anything you put your hands into, it happens to be turned into a total debacle. "

"Kiley, I am telling yyyyooouuuu---!!"
Tara slips from a banana peel which Bella had thrown in her way because Bella was the worst enemy of Tara or you can say frenemie.

Everyone in the corridor bursts into a big, wide, loud laugh and Tara feels very embarassed.

Kiley helps to pick her up but she also couldn't help it and also explodes into giggling.

Tara stands up and sees Bella standing right infront of her.

"You are the worst person I have met ever in my life!"

"Oh yeah baby girl but right now the banana peel is the worst thing that has happened to you....."

By all the laughing and chaos the principal Ms.Gwen Stacy steps forward and orders the crowd to be silent. " Whoever is responsible for this, in my office right now!"
