Overshadowed

Introduction

I shut the front door in exhaustion. I just got home from tennis practice. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle water from the fridge. Yelling and screaming is all through the house. My mom, Melissa and step-dad, Greg are having a screaming match while Kenzie and Maddie are upstairs yelling at each other. I walk up the stairs straight to my room. I go to my closet and pick out an outfit. I walked into my bathroom and hopped into the shower getting the dirt and sweat that was covering my body off and washed my hair. I hop out of the shower wrapping a towel around my body and using my white turbie twist wrapped around my hair. I step out of the tub and dry off before putting on black Nike gym reversible shorts, black Nike elite socks, black Aerie cutout seamless sports bra, and my grey Franklin Regional tshirt. I put my hair into a French braid, put my towels on the rack and headed to my bed. I sat down on the bed and pulled out my laptop, pulling up the college application and started to finish it. In the middle of me typing an essay, I get an email from my school informing me that we have open house tomorrow on Tuesday. I lay my laptop down on my bed and walked down stairs. "Mom, I have a question for you!" I said as I reached the living room. My mom hummed in response. "Well, I was wanting to know if you could take me to school tomorrow for open house?" I asked. "Hmmm, I can't. I have to take Maddie and Kenzie to dance. Ask your father." she replied not looking up from her magazine. I walked away finding my father in his office. "Hey dad, could you take me to open house tomorrow at school?" I asked hopeful. "Sorry sweetie, I can't. I have meetings all day tomorrow and won't get back til late." He explained. I walked upstairs to retrieve my phone and called Brooke. "Hey Brooke, I was wondering if you could take me to open house tomorrow if it's okay with you?" I said. "Yeah. I can pick you up around 5:00 and we could get something to eat before. Sound good?" "Yeah, thanks again Brooke. I don't know what I would do without you." I said before I hung up the phone. Thank god for my best friend Brooke Marie Hyland! I finished my college application essay and sent my application to University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill aka my favorite college. An hour later I walked downstairs to see everyone eating dinner. I walked into the kitchen to see no dinner left over so i made some mac & cheese in a cup and grabbed a water bottle and went back up to my room. I ate my Mac & cheese while watching some YouTube videos. Bethany Mota, Connor Franta and Tyler Oakley are my favorite youtubers ever. I put my laptop up and walked downstairs to throw my water bottles and mac & cheese container in the trash. I told my parents goodnight. They weren't paying attention to me. They were to busy talking to Maddie about projects. I walked upstairs to Kenzie's room and said goodnight and I got nothin in return. I walked in my room, turned off the lights and crawled into bed.
