"Hayley! Time to get up!" my mum yelled up the stairs.

    "I'm up, I'm up," I mumbled stuffing my face back into the pillows. As soon as I did that my alarm clock started going off.

    "She Looks So Perfect standing there in my American Apparel underwear, and I know now th-" I slammed my hand down on the snooze button on my limited edition 5 Seconds Of Summer alarm clock. I groaned loudly as I threw the blankets off me. As soon as I got up, my mum burst into the room.

    "Hayley! Come on, get up my boss and her son are coming over for dinner tonight and I need help cleaning," she yelled, calming down at the end of her sentence. I should probably help clean, she really wants this job. See, my dad left when I was only 3 years old. He took my brother with him. I don't remember much about either of them, and it doesn't help that my mum doesn't talk about them. I've tried talking to her about them but she always says "not now Hayley, I'm busy." I never argued with her, because I don't want to fight. I don't even know my brothers name or seen pictures of him. All I do know is that he is 2 years older than me.

    "Okay mom," I said while walking into my bathroom to brush my teeth.

    "Hurry because I want to start in about 30 minutes," she said walking out of the bedroom. I finished doing my business and left the bathroom. I walked over to my closet and started picking out my clothes  to clean for the day. I ended up putting on my 5 Seconds Of Summer tank top and my grey shorts

As I put my hair into a messy bun I exited my room. I walked downstairs and into the kitchen, and got out cereal and milk and made my breakfast. My mum walked in and made some coffee. I've only ever drank coffee from Starbucks, I've never made it at home.

So did you sleep well?" she asked sitting at the table.

"Until I got woken up," she laughed and got up to put her coffee cup in the dishwasher.

"So! Are you ready to clean the day away?" I  groaned and got up. Let's get this day started!  *note the sarcasm*

I flopped on my bed after 4 hours of cleaning. I still had to vacuum too. It was 5:00 pm and my mum's boss and her son were coming at 7:00. I got up and went to get the vacuum out of the laundry room. I plugged my earbuds into my phone and started blasting 5sos. I started the vacuum and started cleaning the carpet.

    "Hey Everybody! We don't have to live this way," I sang out loud dancing to the sound of Calum, Michael, Luke, and Ashton's voices. They have beautiful voices that make you fangirl. People don't give them enough credit. I listened to 4 more songs and that was just vacuuming the living room and dining room. Yeah, we have a huge house. I don't brag about it though, because I don't want people to hate me or think that I'm spoiled because I'm not. I buy almost everything for myself, my clothes, my shoes, and all of my accessories. Except for the stuff that I get for birthdays and Christmas. I started vacuuming the bedrooms and hallway. I ended up listening to the rest of 5sos' album and the couple of new songs from their Sounds Good Feels Good album. Our house is big and airy. The color scheme is black, white and red accents. My room though, is completely different. It's pink, black, and white. 

    I finished vacuuming and put it away. Walking back to my room, I turned off my music and laid my phone and earbuds on the bed. I went to my bathroom and turned on the shower. I hopped in and began washing my hair and body with my strawberry soap. I shaved my legs and washed my face with Clean & Clear and turned off the water. When I got out, I wrapped myself in a big fluffy white towel and went into the bedroom. I changed into one of my favorite high-low dresses that I have. I also did my hair and makeup.

I checked the time and it was 6:45, I laid down on my bed and listened to 5sos and scrolled through my Twitter feed to pass time. I stood up and took a selfie in my full length mirror so you could see my whole outfit. I then posted it so my 600 followers could see. It was 7:00 and right on time the doorbell rang.

"Hayley! Come down here they're here!" my mum yelled.

"Coming!" I yelled and got up and made sure I looked presentable. I walked down the stairs, phone in hand and met my mum by the front door.

"You look nice, Hayley," mum complimented me.

"Thanks," I smiled. We got along great... except when it came to school. Not so great. She opened the door and let our guests in. I saw the mum first. She looked really familiar but I couldn't place where I had seen her.

"Hello! How are you Liz? And you must be Hayley! I've heard many things about you," she said.

"Good things I hope," I laughed.

"Always. Oh! I'm Joy, I might be your mum's new boss. My son is out in the car grabbing my purse, that I forgot. He should be here in a minute," Joy said glancing out the front door. "Oh here he comes."

"Here, I got your purse mum," he said walking through the front door. I glanced up at him and my heart stopped beating.

There in the entryway of my house, stood Calum Hood from 5 Seconds of Summer.
