N A T A L I E

"What're you doing?"

I glanced at my dad as I finished cleaning the empty vase, "Nothing why what's up?" I asked as I filled the vase with lukewarm water then opened up my box of tulips. "Just asking" He said as he grabbed an apple and walked out of the kitchen.

I attended to my tulips then placed it into the vase, I cleaned up after myself then waved at my housemaid as I walked into the elevator. I got off on the second floor and walked into my mothers office.

"Hey sweetie" My mom said as she smiled at me, "I just wanted to show you some of the designs I sketched up" I said as I placed my notebook in front of her.

"Ooh" She said as she flipped through my sketches and I walked over to one of the mannequins, my mother is the amazing Inessa Marino. The CEO, founder and owner of Marino my mother is a world renowned fashion designer and Marino is a world renowned company like Chanel and Gucci.

Although my mother was a teen mother and she didn't finish high school, she is a multi millionaire and she is married to the man who knocked her up. Pedro Marino whom comes from old money, my ancestors were smart so they invested in oil and things like that now here we are.

"You have to get ready for school now" She said as she kept on flipping through them, "I am going to use some of these" She said as I walked out of her office.

I walked into the elevator and pressed third floor as I yawned and stretched out my arms, I walked out of the elevator and made my way into my bedroom. I took off my robe then grabbed my black tights and put those on as I yawned again.

I put on my white dress shirt then buttoned that up as I stood in front of the mirror, I grabbed my tie and did that. I grabbed my skirt and put that on then tucked my shirt inside my skirt.

I put on my Prada shoes on then grabbed my school jacket, I put that on then grabbed my black headband and put that on. I put everything into my school bag then grabbed my coat.

I grabbed my school bag and made my way out of my room. I walked over to the elevator and pressed lobby, the doors opened back up and I waved goodbye to my dad who is looking for his keys.

"See you later hon" He said as I walked out of the house, I walked outside and made my way over to my car, I threw my bag into the passenger seat as I got into my car and started it up.

I put on my sunglasses then put on my seatbelt as I opened the gates, I quickly sped out of there and made my way onto the road. I pulled into the plaza then joined the drive through line for Starbucks, I called Gisele whom answered almost immediately.

"Hey! I am at Starbucks, do you want something?" I asked as I slowly moved up in the line. "I am right in front of you" She said making me smile as she peaked her head outside her window making me laugh.

"Not funny" I said as I hung up,  "Hi! Can I get a venti iced white mocha with 2 pumps of hazelnut, vanilla sweet cream cold foam and caramel drizzle?" I asked the barista. "Anything else with that?" She asked.

"A double smoked bacon, cheddar and egg sandwich" I said as I grabbed my phone, "Warmed up?" She asked, "Yes please" I said. "The person in front of you paid for your order" She said making me raise my eyebrows.

"Of course she did, I'll pay for the person behind me then" I said as I opened up my bag and pulled out my wallet. I gave her my debit card then she gave me my drink and food with my card, "Thank you!" I said as I sped off.

I pulled into my schools parking lot and parked in my designated spot, I got out of my car and grabbed my things. I closed the door behind me and turned around to see Alejandro and Damon also arriving with Jason.
