Fallon

Chapter 1: Hectic

*DING* *DING* *DING*
I'm woken by the stark bells of my alarm. Another day..
My feet hit the floor. I have as much grace as a tornado. 
"Wake up Fallon or you'll be late!" The smell of pancakes fills the room as i hear my dad scurrying down stairs.
"You can't afford another write up!" Dad's voice boomed through the house as I scurried through out my room.
"Coming!" I yelled shuffling my way to the closet only to find the outfit i picked out was missing.

"Dad have you seen my ripped jeans and hoodie?" The clothes on my floor scattered as i kicked them out of the way. It smelled of B.O. in every corner. Man i need to wash clothes. I didn't realize it had gotten so bad. I looked at the empty laundry basket, chunking shirts, pant, and socks in as i went.
"Sorry Bugg, I haven't." Slamming my door shut i ran down the stairs, while smells of pancakes and eggs engulfed my nostrils.
"I swear i left them right he..." i turned to see Kassy wearing my clothes. What a little thief... those were literally my clothes for the day. What the hell. Kassy's face beamed red with fear as i spoke.
"Take it off right now Kass." Irritation filled my bones, it was like banging your funny bone against a table.
"Oh come on Fal i need them today." Her big puppy dog eyes weren't going to win me over this time. I cocked my head giving her a sour look as steam released from my body.

"What could you possibly need my hoodie and jeans for?!" Kassy's head rolled back as she let out a heavy loud sigh.
"Lana said if I didn't wear something cool she was going to tell everyone we have bedbugs, and shop in the dumpster. I can't risk it."
Lana.... In case your wondering Lana Meldeaux hates our family. We've been at war for what feels like decades. Even though it's only been 5 years.. Kass and I never got the full story. Our parents were so close. Then one day we were ripped apart. We had to mourn what felt like family. Hard to believe we even considered them family at this point, with all the harassment.

"Tell her to fuck off," I stated through gritted teeth. She really needed to stand up for herself. Lana walks all over her in every aspect of her life.
"Let your sister wear it I'm sure you have plenty of other angsty teen clothing in your closet. I mean for the love of God it looks like hot topic in there." My cheeks grew hot as my dad stared at me knowing I'd cave. He had a way of making me agree to whatever Kassy needed. 
"Fine... but you owe me." I huffed as i stomped back to my room hoping i could find an outfit to reap lace that one.

*DING*

The sounds of my alarm rang through my little corner of the world. Glancing at my phone I realized it was 9:45 am.
"Shoot i'm going to be so late!" I rushed to my room where i grabbed the first thing that smelled decent, and threw it on.
Sometimes life would be easier if Dad worked. I miss mom. She's always working. I grabbed a pancake as i rushed out the door.

    "Your late Ms. Denton.." My managers voice boomed from the cashier desk.
Ugh.. Susan's shrill voice makes me want to stab my eardrums. "I know. I'm sorry traffic was slow and there's construction by my house." The store looked like it hadn't been cleaned. I just knew i was taking the blame. I threw my stuff in my locker and began to acknowledge the orders Susan barked at me.

"Only 8 hours" my mind drifted as customers started flowing in.
"Welcome to Inclusive." Ew my voice sounded almost robotic.
"Denton?" I looked up only to realize it was my best friends brother.
"Hey Tony getting a gift for Rachel?" His eyes wondered everywhere as if he was searching the shelves.

"Actually i came to get something for Bunny."
"Perfect timing we just got in the shoes she's been obsessing over for months." I walked over to retrieve the most perfect pair of tan combat boots.
"I went ahead and put back her size. I figured one of you would come in."
His stance changed.
