Broken *UNDERGOING EDITING*

Fourth Day Of School

My alarm went off on its annoying beeping spree. I was actually going to school today. I should've started going to school on Friday not Tuesday but oh well.

I texted Austin all night so I was extremely tired. If you looked at our texts, you would think that I was happy and stuff. You would never know that I was actually bawling the entire time.

Austin was a sweet kid though. I can tell that he's gonna be one of my bestfriends here. He's probably gonna be my Luke.

Luke. I really miss that kid. I quickly shot him a text.

To: Lukeepoo<3<3

i miss you so much<3

I got a reply almost immediately.

From: Lukeepoo<3<3

miss you more lex<3

I quickly wiped a tear from my eye, thinking about my friend. And all the memories associated with him.

"Alexa are you up?" my 14 year old cousin, Brynn yelled down the stairs

She and her twin brother, Liam, were freshman at Lady Bird Johnson. They knew I skipped almost everyday but they kept my secert. I love them, honestly. I love everyone in the Jackson household but Aunt Gina.

"Yeah I'm up!" I yelled back up

I opened the door to my room and padded over the carpet to the bathroom. I plugged in my straightner and got out my makeup bag.

As I waited for the straighning iron to heat up, I put on my makeup. I put on light brown eyeshadow, limited black eyeliner on top and on my waterline, and my usual mascara over-dose. I was in love with mascara. I have every bottle of Maybelline mascara there is. Today, I put on Maybelline Colossal.

Once I was done, I tested my iron. It was still pretty cold so I went to put on some clothes.

I stood in front of my closet, arms crossed over my bare stomach. My neon green sports bra and blue sweatpants were not acceptable to go to school in, so sadly, I had to change.

I settled on a pair of distressed skinny jeans, my gray, vintage Van Halen shirt that I had cut into a tank that ties at my belly button, and combat boots.

I put it all on then checked myself out in the mirror. I smiled. I loved how you could see just the tip of my belly button ring. It was just a diamond stud. I got it on my 16th birthday. I have a long one with a jeweled elephant on the end but I only wear that during the summer. Not too shabby for my fourth day of school.

I went back to my bathroom and tested my straightner again.

"Ah!" I pulled my hand back in shock.

Yeah, it was good enough to use.

I quickly straightned by side bangs then clipped them back with bobby pins. I worked some de-frizzer through my natural blonde waves then grabbed my backpack.

"Morning Uncle Mark!" I smiled as I came up the stairs

"Morning, Alex! Hey, your teachers are complaining about bad grades. Lets get better, yeah?" he looked at me over the top of his newspaper

"Sure thing." I grinned back

"Alex! Drive us to school!" Liam yelled

"Convince your parents to let me." I scoffed

I set my backpack by the door then went to pour myself a bowl of cereal.

"Alex." my aunt said from behind me.
