Beautiful Beginnings

~01~

My life is pretty normal... I just finished highschool and I'm heading to college in a week. It's hard to say I'm not excited cause I am I'm thrilled honestly. I'm not your typical nerd nor was I that popular in highschool, I'm quite smart but I like to have a life outside my books you know.

It's Monday and I leave Saturday so this is the last week home for me, I'm planning on finding my own place after school don't want to be moving back in with my dad. I'll miss my dad to be honest his all I have left well not including my brothers but they can be a pain in my behind.

I get up from my bed and head to the bathroom to get started with my morning routine. Since it's Monday and school starts next week I'm doing some last minute packing and spending time with my friends and family before I leave.

Once I'm done taking a shower and moisturizing myself I look for something to wear, I'm not one to have a certain fashion style I wear what I feel like could be casual, fancy, sexy or simply lounge wear it just depends on how I'm feel and where I'm going obviously can't show up to a pool party in a hoodie now can we...but you get the idea. 
I settled on some black jeans, a white tank top and a black cropped leather jacket and some white Converse. Once I was dressed I put my knotless braids in a ponytail and put on some perfume and I was all done. I grabbed my phone and went out to the kitchen.

It's only 10am and dad already left for work so it's just me and my brothers, I decided to make pancakes even though I'm dressed felt like having them so I made enough for the three of us. I mixed the batter in one of the baking bowls in the kitchen and lit the stove added a bit of oil on the pan so they don't stick.
"Boo!!" I heard from behind me and I almost dropped the damn spatula on the floor. I turned around to find my older brother Greg laughing hysterically behind me. I flipped the spatula and use the opposite end of it to smack him on the shoulder.

"You almost gave me a heart attack dumbass!" I grit out. Greg is my older brother he's currently doing his third year at college, majoring in aviation, he plans on eventually owning his own airline. I don't know much about planes and all that but I do know that it'll be nice to get free flights you know.

"You should have seen the look on your face - priceless" He manages to say in between laughs. "Be careful you don't get poisoned from the pancakes" I tell him. Greg can be an annoying nitwit at times but I love him sometimes it's hard to believe he is 20 with how childish he can be.

"What's with all the noise" I hear Diablo groan from his room.
"Good to see you are awake lil bro" Greg teases as he ruffles Diablo's hair. Diablo is my younger brother he is only a year younger than me and is currently a senior in highschool. They look so alike you'd think they were twins but they aren't...

"Good morning to you too" I mutter to Diablo. Once I was done making pancakes I dished up for all of us and set their plates on the kitchen island for them to get. I grab some syrup for them and go get some orange juice from the fridge as well. It was silent while we ate until Greg decided it's okay to burp out loud with his mouth wide open ewe. "Ewe, what the hel-" before I could finish I heard Diablo burp just as loud argh. This is what I hate about having brother they seriously lack manners. It's tough being the only girl you know. Next thing I knew I was burping too and it became some sort of competition on who could burp the loudest disgusting I know.

After we had breakfast I grabbed my lilac tote bag and grabbed a water bottle and and apple I was going to head to the library for an hour before meeting up with my friends for lunch later.

"I'm heading out" I yelled from the door didn't give them a chance to even argue cause they wouldn't even let me leave knowing them.

I pushed open the library door entering the cosy library. It's hot here since it's summer but the library still has that cosy feel to it and it's just become my favorite place. I come here to escape sometimes it's really peaceful. "Oh hi dear, it's good to see you" Mrs Mitchell says. She's the librarian and a real nice lady. She looks pretty good for her age to be honest, her beautiful pitch black hair tied into a low bun and her makeup free face she's just really pretty Mr Mitchell sure hit the jackpot with her.
"Hi Mrs Mitchell, it's good to see you too."

I walk in to the library and quickly head towards the crime novels to get  The Innocent Man by John Grisham. I'm addicted to his books the just seem perfectly written it makes sense though considering he was a lawyer.
After finding the book I head towards the empty desk at the corner of the library behind the shelves, it's my favorite place in here it's secluded from the reception desk and all be other readers perfect for a snack to.

Time seemed to fly by and I found myself spending two hours in the library instead of just one. I quickly grab my phone and bag and head towards the front desk to ask Mrs Mitchell to check out my book for me, it'll be my read for the week. "Bye Mrs Mitchell, see you tomorrow." I told her from the door. Stepping out of the library felt like stepping into a completely different planet altogether the silence from inside is instantly replaced by the bustling of people and cars you'd think it's rush hour but it's really not, well I guess it's sort of is cause it's lunch hour.

I quickly walk to the small cafe at the end of the street where I'll be meeting Lora, Athena and Hayley for lunch.
