Gabriella's POV

Earlier that morning

"I look so cute with these curls," I say while admiring myself in the mirror. "Not a single boy at that school should be able to resist me."

"Except Noah," Neesy chimes in from behind me. I forgot I was speaking out loud.

"Noah will be mine soon enough," I reply, adding a little powder to my face.

"That's what you've been saying for a long time, Gabs. Noah doesn't even look at you; he's way into basketball." I turn around and drop my eyeliner.

"Noah has been with girls; he's not some kind of basketball freak."

"Yeah, he has. How many of them does he still talk to?"

"I don't know, and I don't care."

"Face it, Gabs. Grant is a fuckboy. Move on."

"Noah will be mine, Nees. Just watch."

"Alright, I'll watch," she says, crossing her long legs.

Someone knocks on the door, and I answer it.

"What is it, Gloria?" Our old maid, Gloria, opens the door slightly and walks in.

"Good morning, Miss Gabriella." I ignore her and turn back to the mirror.

"Hey, Aunty Glo," Neesy greets.

"Good morning, Neesy. I hope you girls had a wonderful night."

"Yeah, yeah, it was fun. Now what do you want?" I ask, irritated.

"Oh yes, your brother asked me to inform you that he will be taking the Audi to school today."

"Oh no, he wouldn't! Daddy left it to me for the week."

"I'm afraid he's already left for school."

"F**K!" I yell, slamming my palms on my dressing table. Damn Luca! Why would he do this when he knows it's my turn? I can't believe we're twins; he's so annoying.

"Are you upset, Miss?"

"No, of course not! Why would I be? My brother just stole my only means of transportation, Gloria!"

"What about your own car, Miss?"

"It's dirty, and Henry won't be around until this afternoon to wash it." This woman always stresses me out.

"You could always ride with me, Gabs."

"Aww, thanks, Nees, but I think I prefer the Audi."

"Then I'm sure you don't mind taking the bus."

The bus? I've never set foot on that thing-never!

"Fine, we'll go in your Wrangler." Neesy smirks and leans against my bed.

"Should I serve breakfast now, Miss?"

"No, no, Gloria! I think you've tormented me enough. Please leave."

I sit by my dressing table and take out my lip gloss.

"I'll have breakfast, Aunty Glo."

"No, you can't, Nees."

"Why not?"

"Because we need to get to school, and I don't want Principal Detroit lecturing me today."

"Yeah... him. Alright, I'll come back for lunch, Aunty Glo." Gloria nods and leaves my room. "Let's bounce, Gabs." Neesy jumps off my bed and grabs her TMNT backpack, which I still don't understand why she has. I pick up my purse, and we both head for the door, but then I remember I don't have any perfume on.
