Destiny

Chapter 2

Picture on top is her outfit

I stepped out of the shower and rushed into my bedroom, leaving wet splodges everywhere as I hunted for the clothes my sister had set out for me. Today it was a white belly top that said 'don't stress' with blue shorts, a black cardigan, white hight top converses and knee length grey socks. Thanks sis, note the sarcasm. I ransacked the room looking for my black glasses, and when I finally found them I checked the time on my iPhone. 8:45, just great. I stomped down the stairs dragging a comb through my incredibly messy  ebony black hair that goes past my butt. As I was doing this I almost tripped over my giant snow husky, Snow. Today was just getting off brilliantly. :( I gave Snow and quick and affectionate behind the ear and made my way to the kitchen. "Good morning Alexandria,"a voice said gruffly. "Good morning dad," I say politely. My dad is the only person in the world who calls me Alexandria, but I don't mind. Because he says it with so much love and pride that it makes my heart swell. I grabbed an apple out of the basket and strode to where he was sitting at the dining table reading a newspaper. I kissed him on the forehead and said to my sister, "Hey Cass, could you please drop me off at school?" "Sure, but next time please don't chuck the keys at the instructor's head so you can pass the test," Cass said teasingly. She swept her long black braid off of her shoulder. "Well, if you had a driving instructor like mine you would have done the same," I say with mock seriousness. I checked in the mirror to see if the high ponytail that I had put in was in a good condition. 

I don't like looking in the mirror too long because it reminds me about how much my twin and I look alike but how different we really are. We have the same long glossy black hair, crimson red lips, high cheekbones and alabaster white skin. But I have turquoise coloured eyes, so not quite green but not quite blue. Whereas my Cass has deep blue eyes. No one knows where she got her eyes from, but I got them from my deceased mother. Cass was cheerful, outgoing and fun, but I am mean, aloof and self - reserved. I must have been lost in thought because just then I became aware of my sister jangling her keys in front of my face. "Tick tock Alex, you've only got ten minutes left, I'll be in the car," and with that she kissed dad on  the cheek, murmured and goodbye to him and was out the door. I hurried to follow her and called over my shoulder, "Bye dad, love you!""Love you too sweetheart. Tell Cassandra that she has to be home by twelve," he called over his newspaper. I rushed out the door into my sister's bright red Lamborghini, which she absolutely adored. Cass quickly backed out of the driveway and sped off down the road.
