Aria Winters
*Beep* *Beep*
My alarm clock was wailing annoyingly. I reached my hand over and smacked the snooze button. I rubbed my eyes and groaned.
"Aria I heard that alarm clock! Get down here and eat your breakfast!" My mom sounded angry. Wouldn't be a surprise. I looked over to my mirror, the lipstick still there. I struggled to sit up but I managed to do it. I slowly got up and stretched my arms towards the ceiling. I walked downstairs to the kitchen. As soon as I got down, all I saw was my mom standing behind the counter, giving me the death look. I let out a sigh.
"Look mom I know what you're going to say-"
"How dare you leave the house during the night? WITHOUT MY PERMISSION?" She wailed her arms in the air.
"That's kind of the point mom. I know you wouldn't have let me go so, yes I snuck out."
"Aria Marie Winters. YOU SHOULD KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WRONG AND RIGHT."
"I DO KNOW MOM!! Of course I do. Yes I know I made a mistake but, you have to let me learn from it. I'm a teen what do you expect?"
"And that's what scares me Aria. You could've gotten hurt or maybe even killed." I took a deep breath and sat down in one of the bar stools that surrounded the counter.
"Mom I was with Luke. It's not like I was alone."
"Aria just don't do it again. We don't have time for this. Eat your breakfast." I looked at the plate filled with eggs, bacon, and toast. I drank my glass of orange juice. I ate most of the food but wasn't in the mood to eat all of it. I understood where my mom was coming from, I just wish she didn't write on my mirror, WITH MY LIPSTICK. I walked into my room and made my bed. I turned off the lights that hung across my walls. I opened my closet doors and searched for an outfit. I took out my black and white, striped, knitted cardigan, my white tank top that had the words "no bad days", my light blue jeans, and my white adidas. I got dressed and then went to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and my hair. I put my hair in a messy bun. I then put mascara on and my "Cybernaut" lipstick from Mac. I took a couple of paper towels, wet them, and used it to clean the lipstick off my mirror. I looked at my reflection.
"Turn that frown upside down Ari. I know you don't like school. Nobody does." I whispered to myself. I rolled my eyes. I put on some perfume and took my iPhone off the charger. I grabbed my black Jansport backpack and put my school stuff in it. I grabbed my car keys from my dresser drawer and walked down stairs.
"I'm heading to school mom! Love you." I said hoping that she still wasn't mad.
"Okay." Mom said. Yeah she's still pretty mad.
I walked outside and sat inside my car. I started the car when all of a sudden I heard a loud pound against my window. I screamed and put my hand over my chest. I looked over to see that it was Luke. I rolled down the window.
