does love always end up the way you want it to?

Anything I want

"Wake up, honey, it's time to get ready for school!" my mom woke me leaning on the door frame of my bedroom.

"Ugh!!!!! WHAT?" why are parents so damn annoying?! Just let me sleep!

"Excuse me, young lady, don't speak to your mother in that tone!" my mom was mad. What does she expect? A morning lullaby or something?

"UGH!!!!!! Can I not to go to school today?" I asked with annoyance. I don't feel like school, why can't I just sleep? A teenage girl needs her beauty sleep you know!

"Are you sick?" she asked, knowing the answer.

"No." I stated.

"Then get your lazy bum up and ready for school!" she stared at me, I didn't move. "I will see you downstairs in 20 minutes or you will not be able to visit or meet up with any of your friends for the rest of the term." she stormed off, leaving me lost for words. I was annoyed, indeed, she definitely did not need to use such a tone and such a punishment in the morning! Besides, I'm only halfway through the term, that punishment is like being grounded for a lifetime!!

I dragged myself out of bed. Then I realised, shit, how the hell am I supposed to have a shower washing both my hair and my body, put on the makeup that Chan-chan gave me, do my hair AND look presentable in 20 minutes?

I rushed into the shower and put on both soap and shampoo, then rinsed it off and put on conditioner and face-wash then washed everything off and got out of the shower to dry myself. I wrapped my hair in my towel and put on my uniform.

I looked at my watch, shit, I only have 13 minutes left until my mom expects me downstairs. I quickly took out my makeup bag Chan-chan gave me, opened it up and set my brushes and makeup on the table. I then followed the steps Kim-kim gave me for doing an everyday makeup look while looking natural and not caked-on, because I want it to look as natural as possible, that's what the girls told me anyway.

I only have 45 seconds to go downstairs, I took down the towel from my hair, I'll do my hair in the car, I decided. I checked myself in the mirror one last time and made sure I looked hot, then I brought a hair tie, a few bobby pins and my comb with me downstairs. I wore my glasses and left my old ugly watch at home, there are clocks everywhere in school anyway, I don't need that.

My mom saw me, looked at the clock, and said nothing. Well, I guess I got here on time. I ate some healthy cornflakes cereal with milk recommended by Lie-lie.

I grabbed my bag and my mom drove me to school without saying a word to me. After doing my hair into a french braid, I plugged in my earphones and listened to some Taylor Swift songs from my phone, mouthing the lyrics. We got to school, my mom unlocked the door, said a single cold 'bye', I stared at her, tilted my head to the side and raised my eyebrows, then got out of the car and slammed the door, without saying a word to my mother, and walked away from the car into the school gate, one foot in front of the other. Kim-kim had given me a fun lesson on how to walk like a girl the other day, these girls are really helping me with my life.

I walked into the classroom, stared around the classroom and realised that I had attracted a lot of attention, I smirked and placed my bag down at the back of the room beside Chan-chan's, then walked over to my newly found best friend, she greeted me with a quiet squeal, "So?" she asked with excitement, I have no idea what she's on about.

"What?" I asked. She stared at me, well sorry, I'm new at this!

"Come on, haven't you realised?" She raised her eyebrow, "He's been staring at you since you walked in! Why don't you go for it! Besides, you look hot today!" She exclaimed. Wait what? Who is she talking about again? I'm lost here.

She sensed my confusion and rolled her eyes, "Zack!" She said in a tone like I was stupid to not see that it was obvious. "That Sarah girl isn't even your friend anymore, you don't need to care if she likes him or not! Besides, he wouldn't fall for her anyway, he OBVIOUSLY likes YOU! He looks at you in THAT way." She said exaggerating on the words 'obviously', 'you' and 'that'.

"He likes me?" I asked, confused, as she rolled her eyes at me. Doesn't he play around? I thought he was the type of person to not stick to one person? She said it was OBVIOUS, does that mean he only looks at me, and not anyone else?

"Duh!" She exclaimed, "And I think you should go for it! He isn't that bad looking, you know." She shrugged.

You know what, maybe she's right, maybe I should go for him, he is quite good looking, with his blonde hair always gelled up the front, his ocean blue eyes and his perfectly straight teeth. Please, he's damn hot, I SHOULD go for him.

Chan-chan was looking at me impatiently, trying to read my expression, I ignored her and looked over to where Zack usually sits. He was already staring at me, and when he realised I was looking, he winked at me, then smirked seeing that- as i just realised- I was biting my bottom lip. Damn, I just realised how good he looks with that smirk on his face. He looked away in a few seconds, playing hard-to-get.

I remembered what his eyes look like up close, electric blue eyes, that day when he told me I was hot on the way to French class, when he was so close to me he almost kissed me, and when we walked into the class late and everyone was cheering.

You know, maybe, I would like for us to happen, maybe I should forget about Brian and have Zack, he was as hot as, if not hotter than Brian, and he liked me. Do I really want to do this? I asked myself. Do I really want to get into a relationship with Zack Harrison, the well known player of our class, maybe even our year group? He is, in fact, somewhat dashing, for a 15-year-old boy. But do I really want to get into a relationship with him, when I haven't even had a first boyfriend yet?

Then, I told myself, yes, I do. I am the new and updated version of Natasha Anderson, I am part of the small group of best friends that all boys seem to fall for. I am no longer the little nerd called Natasha I used to be, I'm Sha-sha. Now, I can do anything I want.

So far so good, liking the plot, trying not to make it tiringly eventful though.

Please show support, I get discouraged very easily, then I give up, and I really hope my readers will stick to me and help me write this book and give me the encouragement and advice I need. :)

Show me that you like it if you do, and thanks for reading!
