As my eyes fluttered open, the sun shone on my face. The beginning of a new day. Full of mysteries that we may not even know are going to happen. Suddenly, my phone buzzed. I rolled over and looked at my phone with an annoyed expression on my face. The bright screen hurt my eyes. 3 messages from  Maddie.

"She always that I am a good painter, mine looked like chicken scratch compared to her art, why do I even try"

*end*

"ANGELIA, I HAVE BEEN CALLING YOU, GET READY FOR SCHOOL NOW" my mum yelled from the hall.

"Ugh, she is so annoying in the mornings, when will she understand I need my sleep!" I thought to myself as I went to my cupboard and picked out a cute trendy outfit for school. 

"WHY IS MY PHONE PINGING AGAIN," I thought to myself.

I picked up my phone and looked, Maddie again.

*end of messages*

*Angelia's mind*

She always talks about how rich she is, how did I end up being friends with her?

*end of thoughts*

"ANGELIA I SWEAR IF YOU ARE NOT DRESSED AND AT THIS TABLE IN 5  MINUTES I WILL TAKE AWAY YOUR CELL PHONE!" Mum screamed from the kitchen.

"I AM COMING, LET ME CURL MY HAIR TO GIVE THE WAVY LOOK" I screamed back at the top of my lungs.

I quickly curl my straight, dirty brown hair. I put on my favorite lip balm and stuffed all my books and homework in my bag. I walk over to my dresser and take out my makeup, I consider going not wearing any today but I immediately put on some makeup and walk out of my room, I turn off my light and walk to the kitchen. My little sister was sitting there eating her cereal spilling it down the front of her shirt.

"Good morning Angie," Said mum.

I don't reply as I am furious with her making me rush to get ready.

"Mommy! Guess what I found on Angie's cell phone!" Said, my bratty sister.

My mother quickly turns to my sister, "I told you not to go through your sister's stuff!" my mum swiftly passes my breakfast to me

"Angie, after school you have tutor, so please remember to go home with Max," Said mum.

"When can I stop going to tutoring, I am doing fine in maths! Plus, Max is weird." I fought back.

"ANGELIA, DON'T SAY SUCH FIBS! He is a sweet boy, it took me a while to find a tutor that actually could put up with your nonsense." My mother yelled to me.

"Please, go once more and then you can stop" My mother calmly said.

"YOU SAID THAT LAST TIME! That is it. I am walking to school." I yelled.

I picked up my bag aggressively throwing it on my back and stomping out of the door. I pull out my phone and text Maddie, she lives a few blocks down.

*messages*

Angelia: Can u pick me up on the way 2 skool?

Maddie: Sure girlie! Just walk to the bus stop on Logan street!

Angelia: Alright, thanks Mads

*end of messages*

I walked over to the bus stop and sat down, in the next 5 minutes a car comes roaming down the street, I felt like it was going 100mph. It immediately stopped, from the passenger seat Maddie rolled down her window.

"Come on! let's go, Angie!" Maddie said.

She sounded quite chipper today, I look at who was driving, her cute brother, I had always been close friends with him. He moves his seat closer to make room for my legs, there has always been room since I am scrawny but he still does it. He leans behind the seat and looks at me.

"Make sure to buckle up," He said, I didn't realize I didn't have my seatbelt on and quickly buckled up. 

"Sorry Louis," I said with a small smile, He smiled and looked at the road.

I look out the window as we speed down the street, as we get out of the suburbs we are driving across the parade, I look over to see the peaceful beach, The sand runners doing laps of the long stretch of sand, the beach swim team practicing, and the lifeguard sitting at the tower. The quiet beach is my favourite place, the beach is so long that you can't see the end of it. 

As the beach starts to fade away and we go back into the suburbs, I realised that Maddie was trying to talk to me, my phone was pinging again.

*messages*

Maddie: HELLOOOO CAN YOU ACTUALLY TALK TO ME AND STAWP DAYDREAMING!!

*end*

"Sorry, Mads," I say, doing  my best puppy eyes.

"You know my weakness, you silly girl." She says rolling her eyes

I giggle at her as she rambles on about how much she hates her maths teacher. I then look out the window again, we were finally at school, I open the door and step out.
