Emily's POV:
It was just a normal day for me so far. Waking up, breakfast, school, couple of hateful comments about my light pink hair, blah blah blah. I was so stressed out from working all day. I was so reassured as I walked out of the big iron gates into freedom. I was walking down the street not far from home, blasting my Green Day & 5sos playlist (surrounding myself with looks from middle aged parents) patiently waiting to be at home. It's roughly a 15 minute walk from school back to my home. I pass the local park and carry on down my street. I walk up the drive way and onto my porch to later realise I left my god damn key in my room. I was beyond annoyed as it gets cold real quick here in Sydney at night. My mom is a full-time lawyer and my dad lives in England after he and my mom split up. I check the time on my phone. 5:26pm. It's been 35 minutes and the outside world is already draining me.
My phone buzzes and it startles me and makes me go cold. I hate the feeling. I barely get a chance to read it as the dimly lit headlights of my mom's car light up my surroundings. To say I was relieved; was an understatement. As she stepped out of the car in a slouched position I could tell she was frustrated and tired.
"EMILY WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUTSIDE AT THIS TIME?!" My mother screeched.
I was shocked and enraged by her tone towards me.
"WELL MOM IF YOU HADN'T GUESSED YET, IM KINDA LOCKED OUT" I growled back as the buzz in my pocket went off again.
My mom huffed and rolled her eyes as she shuffled around to get the key in the lock. As soon as the warmth of the house hit me I was upstairs in a flash. I changed out of my usual school attire and into more comfortable clothes. I shuffled over to my door and slammed it shut to make a point to my mom about how angry I was. I proceeded over to my bed and pulled my phone from my hoodie pocket. I load up Twitter but what I witnessed must be a mistake. It has to be.
"@Michael5sos is now following you!"
I may have screamed.
