Avery's P.O.V

"Get up, Avery!" I hear my father yell but I wave him off. "I am, I am!" I say and slowly open my eyes. My head was pounding from last night's argument with my parents. Not only did I get yelled at but I was also told that I was grounded. Great.

When I was younger, I was the type of child who liked to listen to their parents, do the chores, be a good girl but now, since I am now older, I realised that being that type of girl who I was back then would bore the shit out of me so I decided to change it up a little. I wasn't a bad girl, hell I was far from it but sometimes, fun found me and sadly fun got me into a lot of trouble.

My mother didn't have a problem with me and how I turned out but for some reason, my dad did. He thought I would get into a bad crowd and start doing stupid shit because I went to parties. I only go to parties to loosen up and have a good time, not to do drugs and smoke weed. I would never touch that. It's just... digusting. My dad should be happy and proud that I don't do that type of thing but he still gets mad at me for leaving a cup of water in my room.

I get up and push myself off my bed and head towards the bathroom. I turn the door nob and before my eyes could process what I was seeing, my brother let out a high pitched scream.

No, he hasn't hit puberty yet and he is 15.

"What the hell!" Joshua yells and I shut the door as quickly as I can before I could say anything. I stand there for a few seconds before taking in a deep breath.

Okay, you do not want to know what I just saw.

"Could you have knocked?" Joshua asks. I can tell he is on the other side of the door because his voice was clear. I shudder in digust before opening the door just a little.

"Fist bump... I won't be able to look at you until you give me a fist bump." I mutter and Joshua gasps. "No!"

"C'mon Josh, we both need this..." I say in a whisper and I hear a sigh come out of Joshua's mouth before he hits his fist with mine. I close the door and sigh. "We're cool." I say and start to walk off towards my room since I didn't need to go to the toilet anymore.

Why did the towel have to fall?

"Wait, your grounded?" Claire asks and I nod. Claire sighs and bows her head down as I start to grab my English book out of my bag.

"And there is a party tonight..." I mumble and Claire sighs. I slam my locker shut and let Claire wrap her arm around my shoulder. She gives me a smile and I smile back.

"Don't worry. You either find a way out or someone will find a way out for you." Claire winks and roll my eyes.

It was true. I have been grounded before and for worse reasons. When their was a party on, I wanted to go and no one or nothing could stop me and I'm pretty sure nothing was going to stop me now.

We walk into class and as usual, we take out seat in the back. I sit against the wall and sigh when I see our English teacher, Mrs Mason make her way towards her desk. She places her folder on the desk and turns to us.

"Okay students, we will be working on our assignments. As I have already explained to you all, the assignment is that you have to create a poem or song based on the follows topics." Mrs Mason grabs a white board marker and starts to write the topics on the board.
