Chapter 2: Bethany Mota & Megan Deangelis

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! I let the alarm go off for as long as I can stand it. I am not a morning person at all. "Ugh! Why? It is not human to wake up at 6am!" I yell as I get out of bed. I walk into the bathroom and when I get there I see Meg, my step-sister. We are the same age and we get alone pretty well. "Hey Meg! Can I shower first today?" I say, practically begging. "Fine, but hurry." she answers as she leaves the bathroom. I close the door behind her and put on some music then hop in the shower. When I'm done, I grab my towel and then brush my teeth while I'm still in the bathroom. I leave the bathroom and walk to my room. "Meg, your turn in the shower!" I yell, before closing my bedroom door. I dry off and then choose a comfy, but cute outfit for school. My school doesn't have a very strict dress code, so its not hard for me to choose a outfit. It is winter so I pick a sky blue sweater and jeans. I put on my gray uggs and then I walk over to my vanity. I sit down and start to blow dry my hair, when my older step-sister, Alex barges in my room. "I know you have it!" she screams at me. "Have what?" I say, very confused. She storms over to my closet and yanks a shirt off a hanger. "My 1D shirt!" she yells back at me. "Sorry, I didn't know it was in there. I don't even like 1D." I say back, trying to not scream at her. "Sure..." she says, sarcastically as she leaves my room. I hate her. I always have to be nice to her because my dad says so. This is his 5th marriage and he really wants it to work out. He thinks he other 3 marriages have failed because of me and my younger sister, Chloe, but that's not really true. Chloe is only 4 and I'm only 14, How could we ruin a marriage? The truth is he still hasn't gotten over my mother and her death. It was really hard on him. I go back to blow drying my hair and then I give it a few curls. I put on some mascara and some jewelry. When I'm done, I walk over to Chloe's room to make sure she is getting ready. I walk in and see her sitting on her bed in a pink sweater with black leggings and her tan uggs. "You ready, Chlo?" I ask. "Yep!" she says, and sticks her hand out for me to grab. I take her hand and we walk downstairs. I sit her down at the counter and walk over to the fridge. I grab some milk and put it on the counter. I grab two bowls and put them next to the milk. As soon as I put them down, Meg walks in. Megan, Chloe, and I get along fine. Alex is the one that messes everything up, but lucky she is a senior this year so she will be gone soon. "Hey Chlo! Hey Beth!" Meg says as she sits down at the counter. "Hey Meg! Want me to make you a bowl of cereal?" I ask. "Really? Ya, thanks!" she answers. I make all three of us bowls of cereal and then we all sit down. Meg and I talk to Chlo about if she is nervous about her first day of kindergarten. We finish and then Megan takes are bowls and puts in them in the sink. We all grab are book bags and put on our winter coats. We wait for Alex to come down and then get in the car. Alex blares her music on the way to school. When she arrives, she parks the car and we all get out. Megan and I walk Chloe to the kindergarten classroom and then walk together to the office to get our schedules.
