Another Cinderella Story

Chapter 1:

As Vanessa lay down next to her long pillow,her eyes caught a blue light. She had just turned her light off so she decided to ignore it but it got brighter and faster and bolder until she couldn't handle it anymore."Enough!"she said"What are you any ways?" She waited for a response, but it didn't.

The next morning she woke up at 5:30. Or at least she was supposed to. Then her alarm for 5:31 went of and she rolled over. She didn't wake until 5:40 when only ten of her 36 alarms went off.

She ran upstairs to start breakfast because she was already late. She had decided to sleep in because of her lack of sleep waiting for a response from the blue light. The blue light. She stopped dead in her tracks thinking of the blue light.

She was torn from her thoughts by the radio in the wall blaring" Vanessa! Is breakfast ready? We're hungry and impatient,not a good combo. Hurry up!" Yelled the sisters." Coming right up!" Yelled Vanessa into the speaker. But she really wasn't. She had burnt the bacon, spilt the pancake batter, dropped the eggs, burnt her thumb, lost the spatula, and had broken a plate. What was going on with her today?

She finally fixed seven edible plates of breakfast on a platter and began to make her way up the stairs. But as she turned the corner into the boys room she saw the blue light." No, what are you doing here! Ugh!" Drew, the oldest boy, turned around and said" Vanessa, I live here you idiot. Just set it down like you normally do." She set three plates down still slightly surprised she said that out loud. " Uh, sorry drew here's two for Mathew and Brian." "Whatever." She picked up the tray and almost tripped over a baseball bat.
As she walked out she took a deep breath and though'What did I just do!'

When she walked in the girls room she said her good mornings to Persephone and Penelope. They didn't respond they were screeching along to one of their new favorite songs. Persephone,the eldest, was curling her hair while Penelope was applying her heavy make up. She set the plates down and left before they commented on the very little make up she had on from yesterday. But before dropping off the last plate she decided to set the platter down. While doing so she heard Penelope whisper to Persephone " Hey Persephone, do you think her outfit was better than ours today?" Persephone said" Uh, no! Our jeans are designer. Well, at least mine are. I don't know if you can fit in designer." Vanessa left before she would explode in laughter at their stupidity.

She opened the tall heavy French doors with her back and opened the curtains before saying hello and setting her step mothers food down. She was very nervous, because she knew she would be in trouble.
