"Beep Beep" My alarm clock went off. I stumbled out of my bed like a zombie and went into my bathroom. I stripped off my clothes and got into the shower. I turned on the water and it was freezing. I started jumping like crazy until I finally found the right temperature. I put my Herbal Essences Honey, I'm Strong shampoo and then conditioner in my hair. Then I washed my body, stepped out and dried off.
I put on my robe and walked into my room. I walked over to my closet and opened the door. I walked in and tried to find an outfit to wear. I decided on an old t-shirt, skinny jeans, a soccer sweatshirt and my black Converse. I walked over to my vanity and put on my natural make up and I curled my hair and braided my bangs back.
I walked over to my body mirror and made sure my outfit was fine. I grabbed my phone and went down my spiral staircase. Some people would say I am rich. I mean I have nice clothes, my own room, my own bathroom and a walk in closet. My life is perfect. Both of my parents were top lawyers and they got paid very well. Even though I have a decent amount of money, I try not to brag or show it off because I don't want to make other kids feel like they want to be me. I want other kids to be happy with what they have so I just keep my wealth to myself.
I also live in a mansion, but it's not a super size. It's only five floors, but it's very big. We live in a beautiful and scenic suburban neighborhood.
We have six neighbors. Three on each side. On the right we have Alex a 17 year old who lives by himself and is failing school. Then we have an old couple which are the Bookers. They are a nice old couple and have been together for sixty two years. Then finally we have Mrs. Baker, a nice and young cat lady.
On the left we have a young couple, Jessie and Samantha. They just had a baby girl, Makenna. She is seven months old, sometimes I baby sit her but not very often. Then after them is my best friend Wyatt, whom I have been friends since kindergarten. Finally we have some random young girl which my family has never talked to. She sorta looks like she's like 22 or something like that.
Anyways I walked in to the kitchen and sat down on one of the bar stools and waited for my mom to give me my breakfast. I don't know why she always serves me, I tell her all the time I can make it myself but she always tells me no. So I just sit there and then she puts two eggs, a few strips of bacon and three pancakes on my plate. I put some fresh fruit on my pancakes and ate them greedily.
I gave my mom a kiss, grabbed my book bag and walked out the door. I started walking towards the end of the street, which is where my bus stop is, when Alex came out of his house and ran down to me.
"Hey Libby!" He said to me.
"Hey Alex, what have you been doing lately?" I asked.
"Nothing, just planning for spring break." He said back.
"Oh cool, same." I replied.
"What are you going to do?" He asked.
"I am going on a short vacation with my boyfriend." I said, thinking about how great it's gonna be.
He cringed and mumbled something under is breathe along the lines of 'no you're not.'
"What did you say?" I asked.
"Oh, um nothing just thinking about something." He said.
He is sorta creepy sometimes.
We arrived at my bus stop and within five minutes the bus was there. I got on and sat in an open seat and then my best friend Wyatt sat down next to me.
"Hey Wyatt." I said.
"Hey Libby, how have you been doing?" He asked.
"Good, what about you?" I asked.
