Valerie's POV
I wake up to 'The Final Episode by Asking Alexandria.' It's the only song that has me getting up.
"OH MY GOD,
Oh my god,
If only he knew.
If only he knew,
If only he knew about the worl-,
"Yeah yeah. Shut up." I mumble while turning off my alarm on my phone and then throwing it across my room.
"Valerie! It's 6:55! Time to get up kiddo!" My brother, Jace, yells trough my locked door.
Meet Jace. Jace Gomez. My 22 year only brother living life. He's 6'3 (lucky bastard got all the tall genes), brown hair, green eyes, high cheek bones and all. He's a complete sucker for going boxing ,which I join , and some classic soccer or football. He's also a total man whore. He's honest and has brought me up well. And when I say that I don't mean are parents are dead but.. I guess you can say they love work.
"Okay whatever!" I yell. I dread going to school. It's just one big game of popularity. It about who you know. That's the 'rules' of high school. And since I'm considered the 'nerd/geek' I'm not that high up on the social ladder per-say.
I get out of my comfy queen size bed and stretch, already missing my lavender comforters. I was so warm. Stupid high school. I go over to my dresser and get black underwear with matching bra. After that I head into the shower, letting the warm water tickle down my spine and over my neck and chest.
I scrub my body down with my favorite cocoanut sent soap. And then my lavender sent shampoo and matching conditioner. Then I save my legs and all that jazz.
I step out and wrap my favorite gray towel around my body. I look and the mirror and observe myself like I do every morning. For being 16, going on 17, I'm pretty short. Only 5'4. My black with hints of brown hair cascading down my back with waves until It reaches where my butt starts. My small waist. Hips and butt that are to big for my liking and my only 36B cup. I'm not happy with my body type but I do love my tummy. It's my favorite feature next to my hazel eyes. It's flat but not skinny skinny. That's the only reason my brother said I could get my belly pierced.
~Flashback~
"Jace, I want to get my tummy pierced. Do I have your permission?"
He lets out a small sigh which get my all nerves. He only does that when he's about to be very blunt. Crap.
"That stomach you have now is not one to have a belly piercing. It's too fat. No offense. Come to boxing with me and in a month I'll see. Kay?"
"Okay." I mumbled. I have to admit I feel like shit.
~End Flashback~
I was 15 at the time but sure enough I got it. Woot woot !
I put on my undergarments and walk over to my closet. I have a walk in closet but I only use half for school and the other half is for after school. Two completely different fashion sense. I turn to my left ( school side ) and pick out a black hoodie, black tank top and blue skinny jeans with my favorite red converse. Even though its two different fashion senses I'm still a converse kind of girl.
After that I grab my bag, phone and head down stairs to where I see my brother making my breakfast.
"Morning." I greet as I take a seat in one of the stools.
"Mornin'." He responds while placing a pancake, two strips of bacon and some egg on my plate. I begin to dig in.
"Going to the gym later. Wanna come? I know you want more MMA ( mixed marshal arts ) done. Plus, it's been a while since you've been to a class. Boxing, self defense and all. What's up lil sis. Slippin' ?" He mocks with a cocky smirk.
"Wish I could but I have to go with Oscar to the library after school. Getting some books. Tomorrow I'm going to the gym though. Meeting Oscar there." I state.
So you're probably wondering who's Oscar. Well, he's my bestie in every way shape and form. Full name Oscar Torres. Height 6'2. Tan. Dark hair. Brown eyes. Very well built, if I do say so myself. Sweetheart. Total geek on the outside. Complete badass on the inside. He's taught me almost everything I need to know about defending myself before I even got to my classes. His dad is co-signer of the gym so we get free access to everything and anything. He's always been there and he's just awesome in every way. Like another brother.
"You guys have been hanging out a lot resonantly. Is he the one the popped your cherry? Cause if he di-." I cut him off to me choking on the last bite if my meal.
"Oh my fucking god Jace! We didn't and wont have sex. He's like a brother. Eww!! And yeah we have been hanging out a lot. Doesn't mean he's my boyfriend or anything. Okay? Kay." I state. I don't need a date or a sex life. Too young.
"I'm just saying, use prote-" I cut him off again. What's with him today?
"Just shut up. Alright. I'm going to school already. Bye." I grab my bag again and head out.
"It's going to be hot today bring extra shorts!" He yells as I walk out.
"Yeah yeah!" I yell back.
It's a 15 minute walk to my school so I like listing to music on my way there. I press play on my iPhone. Start walking to the beat of Get Lucky by Daft Punk. (best song ever by the way ;D)
I let out I loud sigh.
Just another day in a hell hole labeled ass school.
