I slid off my converse and threw myself onto the bed. And then of course my twin sisters had to come barge into my room to steal my curling iron. Amanda and Ashley. They're 13 and steal all my stuff. Once I came home from my job at American eagle one night and they took 4 pairs of shoes and my expensive jean shorts. They're literally best friends I mean that's not a bad thing because they never fight, but whatever they take us two times what it would be if they weren't. Amanda's the bratty spoiled one who always gets her way by throwing little temper tantrums like a 5 year old, and Ashley's the sweet one who appreciates everything and never gets in trouble. Except for when she sold my dress online, but Amanda made her by threatening to through her iPhone off the balcony into the road. I can't blame her. My brother, Taylor, is a brat too but he doesn't throw temper tantrums he just sneaks out of the house and steals my moms money to buy alcohol with his fake ID. He is 6' so it's believable, even though he's only 15. After laying on my bed and procrastinating homework I decide to write the essay that I had one week to do, that's due tomorrow, that has to be 1,010 words (yep that's me). Then I do my algebra and chemistry. As I finish I hear my mom yell my name. "Chiara! Come down here!" I walk down dreading the possibilities of chores or taking care of my siblings. Since I'm 17 and the oldest I have to watch them every now and then. "Sweetheart can you set the table please?" My mom asks as I stand with my slouched shoulders and rolling my eyes. "Why can't the twins do it?" I ask. "Because I asked you now are you going to do it or disobey what I said?" I then pick up the plates and silverware. After I finish I head back up to my room to text my best friend Winter. We've known each other since we were born. Our moms were best friends, before hers passed in an awful car crash. She was pregnant with winters baby sister at the time. Kristal survived by sadly their mom had too many injuries, the worse one was the brain. But through that tragedy everyone stayed strong. Kristal, Amanda, and Ashley are all the same age and the best of friends luckily for Winter and I.
Hey I say
Hey you should come over
I can't "Mrs. Presto" and Daisy are coming over. That's our code name for my cousin Dayla. Because she likes to think she's a "magician" UGH! you never come over anymore!!! I know I'm sorry, I'll ask just for you! I throw my phone onto the bed and run down the steps (ha who am I kidding, I walked as slow as I could go.) "Mommy!!" I said to score points. "What!" She said. Obviously that didn't work so I didn't count on a yes. "so umm-" "Chiara just spit it out!" "Can I go over to Winter's after dinner" " I don't care!" Well! I thought to myself as I grabbed an orange and ran up the steps. (actual running this time.) I then grabbed my phone and told Winter I'd be there at four. I went back downstairs and started to eat dinner with the family. "Chiara, you didn't say hello to Dayla." "Hi-Dayla." I said rolling my eyes. Shes 16 and acts like an 8 year old. She might have a disability or just be extremely stupid, no one really knows. I finished my dinner and got dressed. I threw on an army green t-shirt dress and paired it with my jean jacket and slid on my white converse as i headed out the door. I started the car and headed to Winter's house. As I pulled in the driveway I saw Winter's older brother Jadyn walking out the door and getting into a familiar vehicle. I ignored it until I walked into her house. "Winter! Who Jay getting in the car with? "Henri" she said with a disgusted face. Henri was my ex, he was 18 and he dumped me for Hadley, the most popular girl in school who thought that he was a loser. When he came back for me Winter answered no for me because she knew I was desperate and would say yes. But it's a good thing she did because he started using drugs like cocaine and heroin and tried to persuade Jadyn to use them.... which worked. As Winter and I left the house she locked the door and headed into he car. she drove us to "Winterstin Mall." We got out and headed inside towards Starbucks. I got a peppermint mocha latte and she got a cotton candy frappe because she doesn't like the taste of coffee, even though it's the best. After Starbucks we went to American Eagle where we spent almost 400 dollars on sweatpants, scarves, sweaters, and leggings (like always). Then we headed to some bookstore that Winter loved. I wasn't really into the whole reading thing, I liked writing more then reading. I'm more of a poem type of person. After Winter bought 6 books we went to Journeys where I bought the cutest Sperry's black with gold lining, and that's how I spent my 800 dollars that day. Once we made one more stop for a slice of pizza we headed back to Winter's house. I grabbed my bags and headed back home to face my cousin and aunt once more. I tried to quietly sneak in, which didn't work too well. "Chiara where'd you go? You're getting so big!" I heard my aunt Grace yell from the kitchen. "Hi aunt Grace" I said as I forced a smile upon my face. She pulled me into a big hug and started asking too many questions. After about 50 I said "I'm sorry aunt Grace but I have school tomorrow so I gotta head upstairs." "Okay goodnight doll, see you later." I ran up the steps put on my fuzzy pants and socks, threw on a tank top, and turned off the light.
