*Lacey's pov*
"C'mon Lacey! Wake up, it's time to start unpacking!!" Hearing those words make me groan in frustration. I shuffle in bed, lifted up my head and screamed back "okay! Just let me wash up!!" I sit up on my twin-sized bed and look around my room. "Oh crap." I whisper under my breath. There are soo. manyy. BOXESS!! How much shit do I have? I mentally ask myself.
I get up and open the door to the bathroom and walk over to the sink. I grab my purple toothbrush and start brushing. Above, under, gums, little circles over my braces. I take roughly 2 minutes to finish brushing my teeth. Having braces kinda sucks.
I look at myself through the mirror. Holy fudge nuggets!! I look like some kind of possessed monster! I take out the hair ties that kept my so-called "braids" (which now made my hair look like a huge birds nest with fly-aways coming out every where) and brush my hair from bottom to top. My hair wasn't that long, nor was it that short. It was layered and it reached right in the middle of my back. It was wavy and a really dark brown color, like reallyyyy dark. I classify it as black, but others tell me it's dark brown.
After I'm done brushing my hair, I wash my face and look at myself. I look paler than usual. (I'm Mexican, so I have that nice tan ;) lolz ) I examine my face. Am I the only one who does that? Just stare at their reflection for a while? My eyes are chocolate brown, nothing special about it. Almost everyone in the world has my eye color. My cheeks look big, like usual. No I don't have cheek bones, I have super huge cheeks. When I puff them out like a fish, it makes me look like a squirrel.
After I'm done looking at myself (I sound self conceited, trust me, I'm not. I have lots of insecurities), I walk back into the room, lay in bed, and go on my iPhone 6s. I check through Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat before going on Kik. On Kik, I have 7 messages from the one and only, my white bitch, Melanie. Melanie is one of my best friends. She's blonde, shorter than me (I'm 5'3, 14 while she is 5'0, 13), white, and well, a bitch.
Melanieee:
Hey
Hi

Mexican jumping bean

Answer meDamn this bitch better calm her white titties.
She must've saw that I read her message since it's on Kik and it sends read receipts.Melanieee:
Heyy
Snapchat meWe have a 117 day snapchat streak, and I wasn't planning on loosing it. She always has to remind me.
Me:
KI send her a close up selfie of my face because..I'm hot, duh! After that, I go into Apple Music and put my playlist on shuffle. I Don't Even Know Your Name by Shawn Mendes comes on. I turn around and look at all the boxes surrounding me. "Time to start unpacking" I say to myself and get to work while jamming to Shawn Mendes's amazing voice.

I'll try my best to make this interesting and have frequent updates. I'll probably update tomorrow or on February 13. Just keep in mind that I also have school and sometimes I need days to myself to study/take a break. Have a nice day/morning/night.
