Discovering Royalty (ON HOLD)

Chapter 6

                    I woke up this morning at 7:00 on the dot and was surprised at myself for actually waking up earlier than eight. Mentally giving myself a high five I trudged to the bathroom and stared at my face. I currently looked like I had a war with myself in my sleep. My hair was sticking up in all directions, I had bags under my eyes and dried drool on my left cheek. It was a horrendous sight. I stepped in the shower and worked my hair into a rich lather using my favourite shampoo; Garnier Fructis Fortifying Triple Nutrition. I have no Idea why it is my favourite shampoo, but it just is. Do you feel the same way about something you like? One night I had run out of shampoo and I needed to wash my hair. It was about 10:00 and I wanted to take a shower before going to bed because I had gone out for a jogg ( I go out on joggs really late at night sometimes) and my hair was all sweaty. It stank. I didn't change or anything I just took my smelly self and went to the nearest shop that sold the shampoo. Yes, there was other shampoo in the house but, I didn't really want to use that one.

                       I then rinsed my hair out and then added in conditioner. I reached into my shower caddy and pulled out a wide tooth comb and started detangling my hair before rinsing it out. Next, I added some body wash on my bath sponge and scrubbed my body and rinsed before stepping out of the shower. I wrapped my body with my purple towel and inhaled the steamy air. The mirror had fogged up and the room was engulfed in steam from my heated shower. I reached for the door knob but at the same time I was going to open the door It flung open and it revealed a pissed Jake.

"You better not have finished all the hot water." Jake moaned.

"I didn't and next time you should... I don't know..." I pretended to think of the word I was trying to say. "Knock maybe."

"Oh, please. I've seen your stuff a million time when we were little. Back where you had no chest and still played with Barbies."

"I remember those days too. Back where you had the smallest dick ever. Nothing really has changed huh bro?" I challenged him using the same tone of voice he was using just a second ago.

"Just shut up and move out of my way." I stepped out of the bathroom feeling good. I walked to my room and closed the door behind me. I waked up to my bedside table where my phone and stereo were located and put on my playlist. I listened to "Blow Me One Last Kiss" By P!nk while I rubbed some lotion to my body and then put today's outfit. I wanted to keep it simple so I just decided to wear a grey off the shoulder sweater that had a pair of uggs and some black leggings and a scarf. Today it was supposed to be chilly even though it was only the beginning of September and I really didn't want to catch a cold. My colds were the worst. I sneezed and coughed a lot, got headaches because I blew my nose a lot and I looked like I was on my death bed. Definitely not the image I was looking for. I didn't really want to put on any makeup today so I just put on some lip gloss. I was about to go downstairs to eat breakfast when my phone rang. I looked at the screen and saw a picture of Candice and I blowing bubbles. We had taken that picture not so long ago and I thought it would look really cute as her Picture ID.

"Hi you've reached Ms. Alexandra how my I be of your assistance." I spoke into the phone.

"Hey Babe. I was just wondering if you needed a ride."

"Yeah, sure I just need to eat."

"Me too, I'll be there in about 20." She replied

"Kay, I will be counting the seconds my love." I joked.

"Eww. Don't ever say that again." I let out a small laugh.

Video "Whatever, I'll see you soon."   "Alright."  Candice had said before I hung up. I strode out of my room and make my way to the kitchen. I was too lazy to actually make something so I just got myself a toster strudel and put it in the toaster. Then I grabbed a napkin to put it on. (Don't judge I didn't want to wash anything.) I took out a jar of nutella, my love, and two slices of bread. I smeared a generous amount of nutella on both slices of bread put in a sandwich container. Next, I reached into the cupboard and got out a packet of chips, a caprisun, an apple which I was unlikely to eat and a bar snickers. I found a brown paper bag and stuffed my "healthy" lunch into it. I walked over to the fridge, took out the milk and poured myself a glass. After doing all of this my toaster strudel was ready and I ate it within five bites and chugged down all of the milk I had poured myself. I quickly put everything away, washed the glass and knife I had used and went back upstairs to collect my homework and backpack. I was stuffing my books into my bag when I got a text from Candice telling me that she was outside. I dashed down the stairs and shouted Jake a quick goodbye that was unanswered and walked outside to her car.   "Good morning my friend" I greeted her.   "Good morning, you know the whole school is talking about what happened in the gym yesterday."   "How do you always hear about these thing and I don't." She shrugged.   "The internet. You are like on no social networking sites so how would you know?" Now it was my turn to shrugg.   "Good point. I guess i'm not so interested in all of that stuff."   "How could you not be interested?'   "I don't know, can we please stop talking about this? You sound like my dad that one time in seventh grade when he saw my course selection sheet and saw I had picked all the art electives and he was all like " How could you not be interested in the science courses" and shit." I said making my voice deep imitating my dad's. Candice laughed.   "I swear your parents crack me up."   "How the fuck does that crack you up. Its freaking annoying."   "It's funny how you react to it."   "How do I react to it?" I asked having no idea of what she was talking about. She took a quick glance at me. Then she giggled.   "You get all worked up and look as if you are about to murder the next person that bothers you about something irrelevant." I opened my mouth to say something harsh but then closed it. It's not my fault God decided to give me two parents that got on my nerves. Like they just do certain stuff on a whole different level.   "We're here!"Candice chirped. I groaned and then got out of the car. We walked in to the building before we parted our separate ways.   "I'll see you in a bit." I told Candice. We had History with Brandon first block. I went up to my lock and put in my combination, then grabbed my books for this period and the next before going to where my History class was located.   *************************************************************************************************************************
