I'm Not Who You're Looking For (Another Cinderella Story) Editing!

Chapter 5

*Beep* * Beep*

I open my eye's to see the gashing sun piecing at  me through my blinds, I roll over in my bed which results in me looking like i was in a cocoon. I fall off my bed and bang my head on the bed side table and i moan out in pain. Wow that hurts. i touch the top of my head tentatively to make sure i wasn't bleeding, luckily i wasn't, but i can imagine my self with a large bump on my head by the time i get to school, Oh great. I try and sit up still wrapped up in my duvet, I hear laughing, have i actually gone mad. 

"That's so going on you tube" I turn to look at my door to see my brother James leaning against the door frame with his phone in his hand. He'd recorded me. Joy (note the sarcasm.)

"Er bastard, get out my room" My devil brother just laughs and walks away. I knew by the time i get to school everyone would have saw my morning activity.

I try and unravel my self from my duvet which only resulted in me being more tangled up than before, I give up. I look over at my digital alarm clock that woke me up this wonderful  morning, It reads to be 7.30am, I had 45 minutes to get ready.

Today was Friday, one day before the dance, which i was not looking forward to. For the last week all Gina and i's topic has been on the dance, Which i didn't support and as you may have guessed. I'm kinda glad that it is tomorrow so i can get back to my normal routines and lunch time can go back to talking about the normal friendly chit chat.

After five minutes i'm out of my cocoon standing in front of my long mirror looking at my self. My hair is all tangled from my sleepless night, all last night i couldn't get to sleep i don't know if it was because I'm nervous of the dance but i look shattered, Ive got blood shot eyes, bags under my eyes, My face has crease lines where my pillows been. My hair is a birdness. And my body looks like I'm a zombie.

 I can tell today is going to be bad. I can just feel it. I pick up my hair brush which is on the side of my bed side cabinet and start brushing my disgrace which i call my hair. After a few minutes of untangling my hair, It all straight unfortunately it hasn't got it's normal glow, It just's looks flat and dull, all my different tone of hair arn't standing out. Err i don't think i can get any better than this with my hair anyway.

Iv'e decided to put make up on today because i look so bad. I add counselor under my eyes around my eye's, above my eyebrows and the two spot's which have magically appeared. Then i add a small amount of foundation. At least you can't the crease marks anymore. And my bags under my eyes are less noticeable. I add a small amount of lip gloss, to make my lips stand out. I put a thin line of eyeliner and some mascara on, as i look at my self i still look like i haven't had any sleep but more radiant.

I walk over to my chest of drawer and open the first draw, i pick out my white top that goes to just above my belly button. Then i add high risesed denim short shorts which come just below my belly button. Because you can see my bell button i add a belly bar. Which has YOLO  written on it.  I then add i bright yellow pair of Dr.martins. After I'm changed i walk back over to my mirror, I look quite good today apart from the tiredness. I've lost a few pound in the last few weeks. I've been missing meals because of my step dads lack of job we only have a few items of food in the cupboard. The fridge is empty and there is four of us in the house. Iv'e had no money for school diners. So i had to use some of my work money which doesn't fit well with me when i'm saving up for college, so i'm looking abit too skinny. I know my friends hasn't noticed yet because iv'e been wearing baggy clothes but today is so warm, i can't wear jumpers and large jeans today.

I look through my Chloe bag to make sure iv'e got my purse, phone school books and my work log in card. All in so i make my way downstairs. When i make it into the kitchen my brother's are eating apples, So i look in the fridge, Empty, I look in the cupboard, two cans of soup and a can of ravioli. I look at the fruit bowl. One plum, Seriously? 

I look over at my brothers who has by now finished there apple and moaning about the lack of food. So i glare at them, For the last week Ive only ate one can of soup and two banna's at home, That's for breakfast and tea and there complaining, they should have been saving there food for when we have non left. 

I grab the the plum, I take three bites and it's gone. i choked it in the bin just after the bin shuts my belly tell me it's still hungry  by rumbling. I close my eyes because i can'teat anything till lunch and i have only two pound in my purse. I'm not even thinking about what i'll have for tea.

My brothers look at my and for a change i think i saw some sympathy in there eyes,

"You don't look so good sis,"  I stare at them shell shocked did they just say something with out being mean to me?  It must be the lack of food there getting as well.

"Yeah i know," I say quietly and walk out the kitchen and head towards the bus stop.

When i get to the bus stop, I sit down on the benches next to an old lady, I have no energy to stand up. The old lady who's name i think is Valerie. Goes into her bag and pulls out a five pound note and hands it to me.

"here get some food my lass i think you need it" I look at the women who has a warm smile on her face.

"I can't take your money" I really wish i could but i wasn't a person to take money off the elders.

"Non sense,  a growing girl like you needs to eat" She grabs my hand a puts the bill in my hand. I give the lady a warm smile. 

"Thank you so much, when i can i will give you the money back" I will not take money off and lady and not give her the money back. 

"Do what you need, but you need to eat" She pats my shoulder just as the bus pulls up. I gave her a small wave as she got on the bus. As it  pulls away i lean back on the bench. Some people are so nice i think as i wait for Gina.

Just then Gina's car comes rushing up to me. As soon as it stops the passenger door pops open for me to get in. 

I get in, Gina still looking at the road at least she hasn't noticed my weight loss yet. 

"Where late, I woke up late this morning"Gina states as i close my door Gina put the car back on the road and starts speeding, I look over at the clock to see it 8.25am, So we had 10 minutes to be in registration. With Gina speeding i think we Will make it.

As soon as we got to the school drive, we had four minutes to spare thank god, I feel slightly sick from going so fast though. I get out my side of the car and walk slowly around to meet Gina at the front, She's near the door to the school block standing with our crew, And there all looking at me weirdly. 

Whats wrong now?

"Ella you don't look so good"

"Have you lost some weight?" 

"You look green" 

These are all the comments i'm getting from my mates.

"I'm fine just dizzy from Gina's driving" I try and use that as an excuse.

"Bull shit, Ella you look really skinny, I've noticed you've been eating less. Whats up?" Gina ask me full of concern. I wasn't about to tell her my money issues. I didn't want anyone to know.

Just then the bell goes signaling us to go to tutor. Yes, Escape rout from all these questions. 

"Nothings going on, come on lets get to tutor" I say and start walking into the building, I m quite slow though, I'm so tiered. 

Gina's walking next to me giving me a weired look.

"Is it money issues, I can help you know" i don't want Gina's charity, i know she would give me money if i needed it but  i don't want it. 

"No, Money is fine, iv'e just forgot to eat some meals." okay that was a crap excuse but it's the only one i could think of.

"You can't just forget-" i cut her off  "Well i did, will you leave it" So i snapped but i couldn't help it,  I walk into our tutor room and just as i step through the door everything goes blank.
