~CARMELA'S POV~
Monday morning:

Bang bang bang!
"Carmela!"
Bang bang bang!
"Carm! Open the door!"

"Ughhhhhh" I sighed.

I rolled out of bed and slowly walked to the door and unlocked it. I opened it to find my dad in a rush for work.

"Carmela! What are you doing?! you're going to be late for school!"he yelled as he tied his tie.

I let out a huge yawn.

" Am I? I have about 30 minutes to get to school. Leaving me with 20 to get dressed and 10 to get there right on time" I said smiling snobbishly with my eyes squinted, revealing my sleepiness.

"Is that so? Well seeing that you only have 30 minutes, leaving you with 20 minutes to get dressed, and 10 minutes to get to school, you will have no time to brush your teeth, wash your face, and eat breakfast in time to make it to school 'Right on time'." He said mocking my smirk.
"And this conversation arleady took away two precious minutes" he added.

My smile dropped realizing he was right.

I breathed out, and put my hand in front of my mouth to smell my breath. I shivered with disgust. I had stage 10 of morning breath.

I frantically ran around my room trying to get all my morning tasks done

I was in such a rush, I rarely paid attention to what he said.
All I could make out was, "....Home..... Talk.... Rules"
He asked "okay?" To make sure I understood
And I replied with " yep got it dad!" With a hint of irritability.

"Alright I'm heading out, see you when I get home. Love you"

I continued rushing, trying to brush my hair and brush my teeth at the same time

"Bye dad. Love you" I mumbled, with the foam from the toothpaste, muffling my words

Meet my Dad : he worked as a personal trainer and sports Doctor for professional athletes. Because of him, I got to meet a lot of famous people and that's great and all but he's almost never home. But it's whatever. I guess family comes after work.

I jetted through my room searching for something to wear to school. After flinging loads of clothes across the room,
I managed to put together a plaid baggy button down, black leggings, and black vans.
I didn't even bother trying to tame my hair so I just put it in a messy bun.

I recovered from yesterday's hangover and felt stable enough to go to school.
I grabbed my car keys from my dresser, and made my way downstairs.

I opened the pantry door

Hmm.. Pop tarts, cereal, or a granola bar?
Granola bar. I grabbed the Nature Valley bar and stuffed it in my bag.

It's better than nothing.

I headed towards the front door on my way out of the house, when I heard "Carmela! Come here!"

Ugh.
"Moomm I'm gonna be late to school"

"Carm come here now!"

I walk upstairs irritatedly stomping my feet.

I walk to her room to find her standing at the doorway with a stern look placed on her face.
"Whaaat?"I whined.
