I woke up to the sound of an alarm. I groaned and turned over and sat up.

I do not want to go to school in this new city full of new people. I don't want my secrets to get out and certainly do not want to be noticed.

I stand up and go take a shower. I take turn on the radio in my bathroom and turn it on full blast. I get in the shower and I feel relaxed for now under the hot water. I get out, dry my hair and pin it up. I put on my undergarments, a black tank top, and baggy jeans. I put a baggy t-shirt on and then some sneakers on. I put on the make up that hide my true features and give myself some freckles. I put on my fake retainer and glasses. I finally put on my wig.

"Ugly as ever" I say to myself.

I go downstairs and make a fruit smoothie and an omelet.

"Sup kids?" I say to The twins as I see them come downstairs.

"What's for breakfast" they say in unison in an annoyed tone.

"What's got y'all's soccer balls in the gutter?"

"I don't want to go to a new school with new annoying people" Rose says.

"Tell me about it"

"Now what's for breakfast?"

"What do you want?"

"Ummm......your famous omelet of course, you know I always eat what ever you do"

I finish my omelet and start two more for the twins. I make another fruit smoothies for them as well.

~~~20 minutes later~~~

"That was amazing Crystal" Rose stated.

"Thanks now let's go before I ruin my reputation" I responded to Rose. "Oh and I got some good news for you later and I smirk at Rose.

"What is it?"

"I told you it's for later"

"Bu-" I cut her off.

"No buts, now go get in the car!"

"Which one?"

"Your an idiot, one day when I'm done with school I will be happy to drive you in one of my cool cars, but right now the Jetta is the only option"

"But it's so ugly!"

"That's the point ya nut, now let's go!"

"Ugh! Fine!"

We walk out to the ugly old black Jetta and I pop the keys in the ignition and start the car up. We drive to Riverside High School with me driving and Rose playing Trivia Crack on her phone and asking me for half the answers. And I have Brandon in the back seat.

"Who punished Medusa? Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis, or Hera?" Rose asked me for an art question.

"Athena, did you pay attention in any classes?" I said.

"Only the ones I like and if I'm interested in the lesson"

"Greek gods were interesting, to me at least"

"That's cause you're good at everything, you're good at every sport, every class, every talent there is. Especially singing, modeling, acting, designing, art, and all sports!" She sounded mad.

" Awww is little Rosie jealous of Chrisy?" I asked her. When I tease her or accuse her of being jealous I refer to myself as Chrisy because my nickname is Chris.
