"Alice!"

I heard my mom's voice calling me for breakfast. I just covered myself with my blanket and tried to sleep again.

"Alice! Hurry up honey school's in 40 minutes!"

I buried my face into my pillow for a couple of minutes before I sat up with my feet hanging from a corner of my bed.

"Just another day" I said to myself.

I got up to my feet and start walking towards the bathroom. The bathroom was one of my favorite places in the world but it was also a burning hell. I know it doesn't makes sense right now but you'll understand. Not by my ways, hopefully not. I entered my bathroom and closed the door. I tried not to look at him, at my worst enemy. I tried but failed as always. I saw her. I could see that girl that was a failure. I could see that girl that cries all nights just for someone to hear but never gets an answer. That girl who wishes this could be better, wishes she could find an answer. That girl it was me, my reflection in the mirror.

I scanned myself even thought I didn't want to. I look at my brown hair that was a complete mess, my green pajamas that were a t-shirt and a matching short. I looked at my stomach.

"Why I am not skinny?" I asked to myself. "Why I'm not good enough?"

I tried to ignore my thoughts, so I just turned my head and began to undress so I could take a shower.

After I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around myself I chose something to wear. I pick up a grey sweater that was nearby but I remembered that I had to make sure of something first. I looked towards the window. It looked like it was going to be a sunny day. Well, that's sucks. I just left the sweater and grabbed a green t-shirt and blue jeans. If today was going to be a sunny day, I wouldn't be able to use any sweater. It was going to be a burning hell all day. I got dress before my mom would call me again for breakfast. It was nearly 7:30 am.

I went to my bathroom again and put some makeup on, brushed my teeth and put all my bracelets. One by one I make sure they cover up. Cover up the times I was weak. Cover up the things and secrets I can't get out of me, cover the mistakes I've made. I gave myself a last glance in the mirror. For some reason, I still couldn't accept myself. I just couldn't. I walked out my room and went down stairs.

My mom was washing some dishes, my dad was siting at the table reading the newspaper and my brother, as always was looking stuff though his iPhone.

None of them knew I was there so I just took a seat at the table. I nearly dropped the bowl of cereal with my backpack.

"Hey! Watch it looser!" My brother, Aiden yelled at me.

"Im sorry" was all I could say.

With that, my mom turned around.

"Good morning Alice, eat your breakfast before it gets cold" she said with a smile on her face.

I probably should tell you that my mom always has a smile on her face. It was very odd to see her serious. She was a very optimist person.

"Good morning Al" my dad said, keeping his eyes on his newspaper.

"Good morning" I said.

"Alice make sure you ask your teacher about that test again, your grades are never that low, must be a mistake there" my mom said.

"God Lauren please! Of course it was the teacher's fault! Alice is not that dumb" my dad said.

"Duh she is dad" Aiden said with a small laugh.

"But not that bad son" my dad added.

That hurt.

"Could you please stop talking? Let Alice eat" my mom said while placing a plate on the table.

"I'm getting a sandwich on the way thanks mom" I said wile grabbing my backpack and heading towards the door.

My parents, as always just said an"ok bye" and kept doing what they were doing. I wish they could at least ask me why. Aiden grabbed his backpack too and walk a few streets with me. I wish he hadn't.

"Gonna be a dumbass again in math Al?" Aiden said while walking towards the bus stop, he was right beside me.

"Stop it Aiden" I said in a low voice. After all, he was my big brother. I couldn't yell at him.

"What? I'm just joking Alice jesus have fun at least once in your life!"

The bus stopped right ahead from us. I started to walk towards it before Aiden said something else. I climbed aboard and made my way to one empty seat. To my luck I found one, it was almost at the end but I couldn't care less. I took a seat and placed my backpack beside me. I looked out of the window while my right hand tried to put in order my bracelets, making sure the things that hide behind them doesn't show up too much but at the same time... Who would care?
