"ALEXANDRIA! Time for school!" My mom yelled.

I groaned and poked my head from underneath my baby blue covers. I looked at my clock on my night stand. It read: 6:30 a.m. So I got out of bed and walked into my white and sky blue bathroom. I washed my face and brushed my teeth. I then walked into my walk in closet that was connected to my bathroom. I picked out some clothes: red hoodie, black washed jeans and my red low top converses. I put my clothes on and then let my hair down. Since I washed it last night, it was all curly and what not. It hung a about five and a half inches past my shoulder. I sprayed some hair spray into my hair. The spray made my brownish-red hair look a little darker.

I took my phone off the charger and my bag off the chair by my window. I grabbed my keys off my computer desk and let my room, closing the door behind me. I walked down to the kitchen where my mom was making coffee and my Twin brother, Alex, was eating cereal at the table.

"So are you ready for your first day of school?" My mom, Tami, asked as I grabbed an orange out of the refrigerator. I then sat down at the table across from my brother while my mom leaned on the countertop.

"Nope." I said popping the p and started peeling my orange.

"Shi- I mean shoot, I am." Alex said while putting a spoon full of lucky charms into his mouth.

My mom rolled her eyes. "Well to bad child, you are still going. Ready or not." She took a sip of her coffee.

I rolled my eyes and started eating my orange.

Let me tell you a little about my family. We just moved here from Atlanta. My brother and I are twins. When our dad heard my mom was having twins, he wasn't so excited. He kinda had doubts and stuff. But three years after our birth, he couldn't "handle" the responsibility. So he walked out. About seven years later my mom started dating a old college friend. A year after that, they tied the knot. But unfortunately they got a divorce about six months ago. He was cheating on her. She was so upset that she quit her job, she was a big time lawyer in Atlanta, and moved us to Florida. We are now starting a new school and it's already two weeks into the school year. Alex and I are going to be juniors but because of our different classes, we might not see each other that much.

See Alex was a popular person back in Atlanta. He was the star basketball, soccer, and football player. And he's pretty good looking if that didn't help. He has dark brown curly hair with a hint of red. He is about 5'10 and muscular. He has deep dimples that the girls go crazy over. He kinda looks like a taller brown skinned copy of Justin Doir Combs.

Even tho we are twins, in my opinion, we don't look nothing alike. I am 5'2, a little on the chubbier side, the same complexion as Alex and a mole on the upper left side of my lip. I also have a beauty mark on the left side of my left eye. Some people call it a tear drop and then ask if I killed someone. Nigga no, I didn't. But anyway, back in Atlanta I was not really a popular person, and I liked it that way. I'd rather have one or two REAL friends then a bunch of FAKE friends all up in your face all day, every day. Plus I was kinda smart so must people considered me a "nerd". 

My mom is light skinned and she is 5'6 . Yes, she's short, lol. She has a bob haircut, or she did until her hair grow out a little. So now it just looks like she has a kinda short hair cut. It looks really nice on her tho. Her hair, right now, is jet black but her natural color is like mine but with a little more red. She has deep dimples as while, everyone but me has them -__-. She's very smart, and blunt. She almost has no filter, which is why most people want her to be their lawyer. I have no idea why tho, but she does win most of her cases. She starts her new job later this week.

"Child, you better get going. School starts soon." My mom said.

I stuffed the last of my orange into my mouth and then washed my hands. I grabbed my stuff and gave my mom a hug. Yes, I'm a mommas girl :)

"See you later mommy." I said as I kissed her cheek.

"Iight baby, have a nice day." She said as she hugged me back. We let go then I headed to the front door.

"Aye Dria, can I ride with you to school?" Alex said coming down the steps.

"Where's your car?" I asked as I walked out the door. I heard Alex close the door on his way out.

We walked to my 2014 all black dodge charger. Alex has one just like mine but his is all white instead. He said something about him looking fly or something. I don't know really.

"She's still in the shop. Her surgery was bigger than I originally thought. So they had to keep her longer." He said as he got into the passenger's seat. I threw my bags in the back then got in the drivers side. Oh and yes, he did call his car a girl. He named her white chocolate.

"I guess." I put on my seat belt and Alex did the same. I then started the car.

"Can we stop at the coffee shop down the street?" Alex asked.

"Why?" I pulled out the driveway.

"So I can blow some money, I guess. Plus I need to start my day off somehow." Alex is always spending money. He has a really bad habit.

"You need to stop wasting your money. You're gonna be broke one day, watch."

"Well until that day, pull over right here." He said as we came to the coffee shop.

I pulled up to the drive thru. I order a large hot chocolate with extra whipped cream with chocolate syrup. Alex wanted a double chocolate chip latte with caramel syrup and whipped cream. I paid the ten and we got our drinks and headed off to school. We pulled into the crowded student parking lot about five minutes later. I found a stop then got out and grabbed my stuff out the back seat. Alex then got out.

"Well." He said as he came around to my side. He gave me a tight hug. "Be careful, we are not in Atlanta no more." He smiled.

I frowned at him. "I know that Alex. And don't get into any trouble. We're not in Atlanta no more." I throw his words back at him. But he seemed to not mind.

"I know that Dria." He mocked me, then laughed. "See you later, and don't leave me either. You are my ride home." He started walking toward the school.

I guess it's time then, huh?
