Built For You

Chapter 5

Melissa woke up in a pit. Her bed was a mess! She must have been moving whilst sleeping, she did tend to move a lot in bed. She climbed out of her bed with her pyjamas creased. She eventually fell out of the bed with her bed sheets. She crawled out of a tangle of the bed sheets, she was still tired so she lazily crawled out of her room. As she was crawled through the hallway she was stopped by a pair of slippers. She looked up with a faint groan to see her mom's face, giggling at her. Jane was also in her pyjamas. She was cuddling a cup of coffee with the sleeves of her long night gown. "Are you alright down there?" Her Mom giggled again. Melissa groaned again, dumping her head onto the floor and started to sleep again. "Uh... Melissa?" Melissa was now fast asleep. "MELISSA!!!" Her mom shouted to wake her up. Melissa's head shot back up, she had fluffy bags under her eyes. "Melissa, get up," her mom said starting to get serious. Melissa struggled to stand up but she eventually did it. Her hair was knotty and her pyjamas were more untidy than before. "Now go into the bathroom and splash your face with some water, brush your teeth and meet Jack and your dad downstairs," her mom instructed, walking slowly down the stairs. Melissa stomped into the bathroom picking the sleep from her eyes. Meanwhile Peter was eating his breakfast and Jack was watching game shows in the living room with his checkered pyjamas that Peter had bought for him. They could hear Melissa yelling whilst she was brushing her knotty hair. Jack started to get suspicious and ran to Peter and asked if he could check on her. Peter declined by shaking his head slowly, Melissa was fine, she just wasn't good at brushing her hair. After that they heard her using her electric toothbrush. She then came down with her clothes on. "Good job Melissa! Now, I think the rest of us should get some clothes on shouldn't we?" Jane said, with her hands on her hips. Peter and Jack nodded and walked up the stairs. "Go make yourself some breakfast Melissa, there's some corn flakes left in the cupboard for you." Jane walked upstairs to get dressed and Melissa went to make her breakfast.

When they were all ready, Jane walked to her new job and Peter took Melissa and Jack to school. Peter parked his car up against a curb near their new school. "Melissa!" Peter called. Melissa turned round whilst she exited the car. "Gloves?" Her dad quietly questioned. Melissa nodded and showed her pink fluffy gloves. Peter showed a thumbs up as if he were saying "Good job." Melissa and Jack walked away from the car and stepped onto the school grounds. They were about to experience a new school. They walked forward slowly, thinking about what would happen...........
