Falling Stars

2- Missing

Chapter 2

        I woke up to the sun beaming down on my face. Crap! I fell asleep on the roof again. Mom's gonna kill me! I jumped up and scrambled for my window. I blinked the sleep from my eyes and climbed through.

        Mom was nowhere in sight, so I'm good. I walked over to my bathroom to shower. I turned on the water and jumped in. I don't wait for the water to warm up because I like to stand under the water and feel it go from cold to hot. It's like the cold numbs my body and the hot relaxes it. Like and Icy Hot patch for your whole body.

        After washing my body and hair I dried off and walked into my room wearing only my robe. It's midnight blue with stars all over it and two pockets on both sides. The right with a moon on it and the left with a sun on it.

        "Morning sunshine."

        I looked up in horror at the person sitting in my giant bucket chair on the other side of my room. "Oh my God Jason!" I shrieked. I scowled at him,"What did I tell you about just letting your self in. I'm tired of telling you if I don't answer then that means I'm in the shower or on the roof and your supposed to call my phone to check. I could've been naked!"

        He laughed. Laughed! "This isn't funny," I yelled. He shook his head,"You should see the look on your face, then you'd change your mind about that."

        I walked over to the mirror on my vanity table and took a look. Wow he was right I do look stupid. My face was contorted into this mixture of a scowl and a frown, so I looked like a pissed clown with smiling make up. I began laughing and walked back over to my cousin slapping him on his shaking shoulders then slapping him a high-five. We finished laughing, I grabbed my uniform, and headed to my bathroom to get ready for school.

        Slipping into the plaid monstrosity that is our uniform, I noticed something that I hadn't noticed before. The way I looked in it. Wow I mean I'm not ugly, I'm also no super model, but, damn! When the founder of Lexington Prep picked our uniforms he or she must have been either hateful and ruthless or just had bad taste.

        The long navy blue knee socks, loafers, long sleeve white blouse, cross tie, and knee long plaid skirt looked horrible! Well it wouldn't be so bad if the skirt was a little shorter, and if we lost the tie I guess it wouldn't look all this hideous. Too bad all of those things are violations to the rules. I forgot the part that made all of this cruel and unusual punishment, the colors are a horrible navy blue and forest green. Truly cringe worthy. Oh well I only have two more years and I'm off to college.

        I walked out of my bathroom and walked over to my vanity to apply a bit of lip gloss. Yes, it is against the rules, but hey, nobody's a perfect student right?

        "Are you ready princess?" Jason called as I smacked my lips together.

        "Yea, but don't expect me to kiss you frog," I replied.

        He cringed,"Please don't, I rather eat flies and hop around in mud."

        "Well you certainly don't need me there," I said looking smug. "Don't go up against the player at their own game."

        He smiled and said,"Toche'."

        I smiled and walked to my door and gave him a wink. At the exact moment I put my foot on the floor the door bell rang. "I'll get it," I yelled to my mom.

        I opened the door and smiled at Drew standing there in kaki pants, a white blouse, and a Lexington Prep standard issue(note the sarcasm) plaid tie. "Hey Naomi. Jason told me to meet him here so that we could all walk to school together." I smiled at him and waved my hand in a gesture of offering him in. I didn't think it was possible that anyone could make this horrible uniform look good but obviously Andrew is a miracle worker because he defiantly pulled it off. I gotta give my cousin his props he still manages to get girls in that thing they call a uniform too.
