Once again, ive come home with half of someones lunch through my hair, and guess what was on the menu today? Meatballs! I grabbed my key from under the carpet and quickly rushed inside my house. I do love my house. Mum and Dad built it themselves on 6 acres of land. Its a 2 story house with a pool out the back, and a tennis court on the far side of our land. Also next to that we have a basketball court, which is where i spend most of my time. Anyway, luckily Mum and Dad werent home, otherwise they'd ask why my hair was such a state and why i smelt so disgusting. They dont know about how bullied i get when i go to school. Its a continual thing, even the teachers dont seem to notice. But im not going to tell them what good with that do? They will give them a detention and they will only do worse to me to get me back.
I rushed to my bedroom and got out my pyjamas and grabbed my towel. On the way to the bathroom i got some washing powder from the laundry. When i got to the bathroom I started running the bath, and stopped when it was about a quarter way full. I put in some washing powder and chucked in my clothes. I started to frantically scrub at the stains from the meatball sauce on my top, and after about a good 5 minutes scrub it was almost impossible to notice. Then i rinsed my hair, getting out all the access meat and then brushed it before i got in the shower to wash all the other disgusting things in my hair. My hair was the only thing i really liked about myself. It was long and silky and a nice beachy blonde. Finally when my hair felt clean again i got out the shower and got into my pyjamas.
I could hear the TV was on downstairs, Mum and Jayden must be home. Jayden is my younger brother, he started grade 2 this year, he skipped year one because of how smart he was! He even still found 2nd grade easy, he always did his homework with ease. I was the same as him back in primary school, i skipped year 5 because my scores were so high. The only hard was that when i finished grade 6, my friends had only finish grade 5, so i was friendless for the first couple weeks of high school. But i didnt mind, it gave me time to look around the school, concentrate in my subjects and sign up for any clubs that looked interesting. I wanted to join in the band and play piano. I loved playing piano but i hate getting told to play songs, i usual just play how my fingers play, its like im in another world.
Oh look at that ive gone of the topic again! When Jayden saw me he ran up the stairs and gave me a big hug and asked me to join him watching TV. He was watching 'In the Night Garden' UGH i hate this show! But i sat there and watched it with him cause im a top sister. I looked at the time and it was already 5:00pm. 'Hey Mum, what are we having for dinner?' i asked. I got no reply, so i went and knocked on her bedroom door, still no reply. I slowly opened the door to see that she was asleep in bed. She has been working so hard recently, she just got promoted at work and she has to finish all the tasks from her old job by the end of the week. So i decided id make dinner instead.
I made pasta with a tomato sauce mixed with shreds of chicken breast, with vegetables on the side. As i was plating up Dad came through the door. 'Hey there gorgeous.' He said as he entered the kitchen and pinched a few pieces of pasta from the drainer. 'How come you’re cooking dinner where's your mother?' He asked. 'Shes asleep upstairs' i replied. 'Okay ill go wake her. Come on Jay wash your hands dinner's ready!' He said as he passed Jayden giving him a little tummy tickle before going upstairs. I put all the food on the dinner table and set the cutlery out. Mum came down in her dressing gown looking tired as ever. 'Oh darling you didnt have to make dinner you should have just woke me!' she said kissing my forehead. Soon everyone was at the dinner table and we began to eat.
We shared our day stories. Jayden told us how he got the best results in the class for the spelling test this week. Mum was saying how she only has 2 jobs left and then she is finished, and Dad told us about how his friend accidentally shot a nail through his thumb with the nail gun. 'Please honey, not at the table!' Mum said, 'How about you Lexi, how was your day?' She continued. 'Oh um nothing too much, we got a new English teacher today actually he seems nice!' I said. 'Oh, what happened to Mr. Hamper?!' Dad asked. 'He had to retire.' I replied. We finished our meals and cleared the table. By now it was 7:00pm. 'How about we all gather in the lounge room for a movie before bed?' Mum suggested. We all agreed and Jay went off to find a DVD. Dad helped me put all the dishes in the dishwasher, and Mum went to help Jayden put the movie on. 'We are watching "The Incredible" guys!' Jayden said bouncing around. This has always been his favourite movie!
