Thanks Enjoy :D -Olivia

'Rachel you should really consider going to this party, it will be fun I promise!’  Said Laura staring at me intensely waiting for an answer.

‘For the billionth time, noooo, I’ve got to go to class now, bye Laura I said smirking while walking the opposite way.

I walk into English class just as normal, I sit in my seat in the back corner next to the window, right where I like it, The so-called popular people sit near the front, I try to avoid the jocks as much as possible they just infuriate me. Half the lesson they just lean back in their chairs and try act ‘cool’ and don’t get me started on the gum chewing, hair twirling, attention seeking popular girls who just sit there in there provocative outfits flirting. Then theres the class bad-boy in my case its Jason or Jay for short. Now you may think that hes one of the most popular but like me hes just an outcast yet everyone seems to know who he is. The lesson flew by beause my mind was wandering elsewhere, a.k.a not listening. I slumped out of the classroom and began to walk to my locker; right where I usually found him was my cousin,our lockers are right next to each other since we share the same last name-Hayes.

Hey Mathew, what’s up? I say sarcastically. Ever since I can remember Matt has hated the name Mathew, but I call him it simply to annoy him.

‘Hello Rachel’ he says with emphasis on the 'el' 

 I start laughing 'anyway MATT would you mind giving me a ride home, and could we pick up Sophia on the way pleaseeeeeee? I say while pouting.

‘Why can’t you walk, you have legs don’t you? ‘He says sarcastically

‘Actually I don’t, this is a very sensitive topic, and so could you please just take me home?’ I say groaning.

‘Fine, hurry up’ he says mocking an angry voice whie trying to hide a laugh.

We walk to his car, it’s just an old one but it suits his personality perfectly. We drive to my sisters school to pick her up since obviously I’m the only person who can, Matt’s the only person I’ve ever tod about my mum and dad, well I mean he’s family so he would know anyway but nevertheless he’ the only one who knows.

Basically my Dad died due to cancer when I was 12, we were all very close and after he died my mum was never the same ,she went to work more often, she stayed out later and now days she just never comes home, as far as  know she’s depressed and when she does come home which isn't very often shes drunk as hell, my Mum still has a job so money gets put into an account every week and that’s the money I use to live off we have also been getting monthly money since dads death, since mums a single ‘parent’ and all.

We reach school and Sophia come running to the car.

'Hey Sophia' i say with a cheery voice

'Hi Rach, guess what i did today, i drew a painting of me You, Mum and Dad she says holding it up proudly. I look at it and am suprised by how good it actually i for a ten year old, i can feel tears in my eyes, but i fight them away.I don't want Sophia to see my cry.

'Wow Soph, that's really good, i'm sure Dad would be really proud" I say honestly.

As soon as I get home I practically run to the fridge, yes I’m one of those girls who eats shitloads but is till skinny, Sometimes when I’m eating lunch like a pig the so called school ‘queen’ nicole stares a me but I know shes jealous, the only word to describe her would be slut. Well shes a bitch to but i guess that falls into the slut category. I always fail to understand why the guys are all over her.

I plug my phone in since it’s dead and  I get bombarded with text messages from Laura and every single one is asking me to go to the party, I debate about whether or not I should go. What is the point of them, i wouldn't even call it a party it's just a lousy exscuse to get drunk and make out in dark corners or get laid in one of teh spare rooms but I decide to go anyway.I have never even been to one but I need to go at least once so might as well go soner than later. I ask Sophia if it’s okay and if she doesn’t mind having a babysitter and she seemed more than happy. I text back with one word

fine ;) 

I open up my laptop and start working on assignments, well when I say working I mean going on facebook and tumblr. Laura starts chatting me and asks a billion questions :

Laura:What should I wear?

How should I have my MAKE-UP? :o

Omg, I have no shoes, we NEED to go shopping!

Rachhhh reply!! :p

Me:Yes, I’m here Lauraaa ;) How about tomorrow after school but could Soph come?

Laura: Okay I guess :p

I gotta go now rach bye! Cya tomorrow :D

Me:BYE! :)

I log out of facebook and walk downstairs.

‘Hey Soph, I need to go to the mall tomorrow, and you have to come, is that ok?’

‘Yes yes YES, Is Laura coming?!?’

My sister has a strange bbsession wth Laura, well actually she loves her, whenever she’s over she tries to talk to her every second. It actually drives me insane, Laura finds it amusing t i'm not a huge fan.

‘Yes she’s coming’ I say sighing

‘Great yay, oh and Rach I have a question, whats going to happen when you go off to university?’

The truth is, I’d never really thought about it, I mean I’m all she has except I few stray Aunts who we really don’t know after Mum left.

‘The truth is Soph, I don’t know, but you and I, we’ll be fine’ I say

I finish off my assignments as it start to get late, I have absolutely no idea what to wear to this party that Laura is dragging me to, I do not want to spend my money on a dress I’ll probably only wear once, I cannot afford that. I settle for a simple blue dress I’ve had for a while. It’s nothing special but it’l do. I finally lock my phone and close my laptop, oh I was not looking forward to this party.
