London's Glass Heart

Chapter 1

It was snowing outside when I first woke up at 5:00 a.m. I went downstairs to join the rest of my family. I sat at the table to drink my decaf coffee and I noticed my older brother Sean walk into the kitchen and sit across from me. He wasn't much more older than me since he was now 19 and I am 18. Although our age difference isn't much I have always been more responsible and mature then him. Mom asked,"Who wants breakfast?" Me and Sean yelled simultaneously, " I DO! " She sat down a plate that had all of my favorite foods on them. Bacon, sausage, eggs, homemade biscuits, and toast, plus strawberry jelly, ham, and 2 pancakes. I would say this breakfast was fit for a king...or more the less a queen, since I am a girl. Anyways after I finished my monstrous breakfast I finished off my coffee, then went up to my room. I had laid out a pair of miss me jeans, that had tears in them, my black and blue Skillet t-shirt, with my black and white converse, and a Black leather jacket. So I started getting dressed, I looked at my alarm clock sitting next to my t.v. on my dresser, and noticed I only had about 30 minutes. I hurried up put on my basic routine of makeup, light pink colored foundation to add some color to my really pale skin, a little bit of blush and bronzer, mascara, and then winged my top eyeliner then finished up by doing my bottom eye liner and a touch of peach lip gloss. I ran across the hall to the bathroom looked in the mirror at how bad my hair looked and then I returned a glance at my alarm clock, it was 6:45, I had to leave at 7 to get to school on time, and by the looks of my rosy red and black highlighted hair that wasn't happening today. I usually straighten my hair to tame my crazy waves, but my hair is so thick it takes me about 1 hour and 30 minutes to straighten all of it. So I just fishtailed it to the side into a kind of messy braid then grabbed my glasses, my keys, my backpack, a Black toboggan, and yelled at my brother, "Hurry up Sean!"

"Hold up London I am coming!" My brother screaming from the bathroom up stairs.

"Hurry up then you slowpoke, I only have 10 minutes to get to the band room and start practicing!"

"Well I only have 10 minutes to get to football London."

We finally got down the stairs and out the door and started walking to my black 2014 jeep. On the ride there Sean turned up the radio and I forgot it was on 105.9 KLAZ and the song Shake it off was on by taylor swift...All the way to school Sean was singing "Cause the haters are gonna hate, hate, hate, Just shake it off shake it off!" I finally told him, "Shut the crap up Sean you sing like you are trying to call for a whale to come to shore."

"Oh London you know you love my singing!"

"Whatever!"

After we finally made it to our school, he ran to football practice and I walked really fast to the instrumental arts room to start practicing on my new song I was writing. I got closer to the room and heard a noise coming from it. It sounded like my friend Brittany trying to play her cello again. She was a newbie in band and she hasn't quite gotten the hang of it yet.

I walked in the band room and noticed that it wasn't Brittany who was playing it was my other friend Trent. He was my best guy friend. He used to have a huge crush on me and probably still does but after I told him that I just wanted to be friends thats exactly what we became. "Hey Trent."

"Oh hey London, Whats up?"

"Not much just came to practice my song and try to finish it for the Julliard auditions."

"Oh ok."

"Yeah. So what were you in here doing?"

"Just waiting on you and decided to play a little guitar."

"Trent, I am sorry to say this buddy but it sounded horrible."

He started laughing then said, "Well I guess I will just have to join band so I can learn how to play."

I just smiled and started walking over to the black shiny piano over by the window and sat down. I started going through the music on the stand and tried to find my music sheets but I remembered that I was practicing it last night in the basement/my music/art room and didn't bring it with me back upstairs to put it in my bag because I was called to the kitchen for dinner and forgot to go back down there and get it. "Hey Trent would you mind going to my house and getting my music sheets for me?" He stared at me funny and then asked,"Why can't you go get it?" "Because, the bell is going to ring any minute now and I have Mr. Walters first period and you know he will count off a letter grade and give you a whole lot of extra homework if you're late. Who do you have first period?" "I have Mrs. Rhona first period but I guess I could sacrifice a tardy for you my love. Where did you leave it?" "Thank you so much! I love you forever now! But I left it in the basement on my piano next to the closet door."

"Okay I will have it for you by second period promise."

I ran up and gave him a hug and said, "Okay I will meet you in the parking lot at 9:57."
