Now to reality, our house looks nice and all but it's more like... makeup. Something to hide everything behind. Something to cover up our holes and scars. The real us. I get out of bed sluggishly and put on my school cloths making sure they are perfect, they are not my type of clothing outside of school. Nice blue pants and a white polo with a tan vest and dress shoes, again not my style. I walk down the stairs trying not to wake up my hungover mother or grumpy father. I walk quietly down to the kitchen to see my sister rose sitting at the table eating a bowl of cereal and scrolling through her phone.
"Hey dickdave," she said to me with out looking up from her phone.
"Shut the fuck up" I say back pulling out a bowl and pouring myself some breakfast. Not a lot of people really know this side of me, the one that isn't seen in public. The only one is really just my best friend john, we've know each other for as long as we've lived here in Washington. Rose leans over to the side glancing at the clock on the microwave.
"Damnit, come on we're gonna miss our bus," she says pulling on her backpack off the back of the chair and making it look nice, I do the same. We both walk to the front door, rose takes a deep breath.
"Ready?" She asks.
"Yep," I put on a smile as we open the door and step out of our little make up home.
