I slumped up in bed, rubbing sleep out of my eyes. I turned to look at my alarm clock across the room. It read 5:45 am. "You have got to be fucking kidding me. Why does school have to exist? Ugh!" I grumbled under my breath. At least it's a Friday.
"Riley, honey! It's time to get up for school!" I hear her for the second time. Maybe if I just lay here then she will forget and leave me alone. I hate eating breakfast down there with him. It's horrible. Every single word that comes out of his mouth makes me gag. Well, I better get dressed. I comb my fingers through my jet black hair. I roll over out of bed, falling in the process.
Once I regain balance I head towards my closet to pick an outfit for the day. I choose a dark red crop t-shirt with the words "So what?" on it. Oh yeah, forgot bottoms. I randomly reach into my closet and pull out a pair of navy blue skinny jeans that have holes in them. Now for shoes. I settle on a pair of black lace up boots that had a slight heel.
I head downstairs after getting dressed (Half and hour later I might add). My hair is pressed into sheets of black. (I straightened it, burning myself a couple times in the process.) My face is caked with makeup. Gray eyeshadow and plum eyeliner with midnight black mascara frames my green eyes.
"Oh! Don't you just look so..er.....nice!" My step-mom Sheila exclaims. I mumble a response and slick down into a chair at the kitchen table, grabbing a cup of orange juice. I gulp half of it down and start to eat half of a bagel. He stares at me from across the table, drinking from his "Number One Dad!" mug. I laugh inside at the irony.
"So, Riley. Aren't you going to give your father a morning hug?" I'd rather not.
"Sorry I can't! Don't want to be late for school! Bye!" I grab my backpack and purse after finishing the rest of my juice, and rush out the door. Yay. Another day of hell is only beginning.
