The shrilling sound of my alarm wakes me up just as if someone dumped ice water on me! Getting up, I made my bed and then went into the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth and get ready for school. 

 As I came out of the bathroom, the most delicious smell ever known to man kind wafted up the stairs permeating the air surrounding me..... bacon, eggs and coffee! I quickly ran down the stairs to see my mum standing at the stove cooking breakfast, dad was behind his newspaper with a mug of tea in his hand.  For some reason he absolutely detested coffee, I am always bewildered by this fact. How can someone hate coffee!

  "Kaliméra mamá kai ton bampá !" I said brightly as I bumped down the stairs. "Good morning darling" mum replied. Meanwhile dad was grumbling away behind his newspaper "Apollo could never even get the damn sunrise right!" I looked up at him in surprise, "Apollo as in the sun god Apollo? "

 I looked at mum worriedly but she just smiled at me and told me to eat my breakfast quickly since Larnelle would be here soon to pick me up. I was just a tad worried about dad, I mean why  would he be grumbling about a freaking mythological figure. Anyways, I ran back up to my room to get my stuff for school, I took a quick glance at my schedule. "Oh joy! I have double Maths...aaaarrrgghhhh.!!!!

The sound of a horn tooting outside my window, had me running down the stairs and out the door in 2 minutes.  "Wow! some Barry Allan genes there girl" Nellie said.

My best friend is my opposite! I am tall; 5 ft 10 inches to be exact.  Tall, slim with reddish blond hair colour;   Whereas Nellie is 4 ft 7; short, curvy and has black hair with silver highlights..(makes her look bad-ass; her words not mine!) and a bloody attitude that more than makes up for her lack of height; which often leads us into trouble!

Arriving in school, I glanced at my watch and saw that we had 15 minutes left till the siren went for first period. We took a walk into the bathrooms to freshen up and for Nellie to touch up on her war-paints.   I was not really a big fan of make-up; my beauty routine in the morning consisted of face wash, moisturizer with just a smear of lip balm.  I could never be bothered to clog up my pores, Nellie loved her beauty routine, she wouldn't be caught dead without having her face fully made up!

After visiting the bathrooms, we went down our hall way to our lockers. Since we both  had surnames beginning with the same letter, our lockers were just next to each other! I grabbed my text books, while Nellie grabbed her art supplies; she was truly a gifted artist, I would not be surprised to see her work displayed in art galleries here or even elsewhere in the world. 

We said our farewells and went our separate ways, as I was walking down the hall something caught my eye.  I looked towards my right, there was a shadow in the corner even though the hallway light was shining brightly! "What the hell!" I whispered.  "This is just too early in the day for me to be seeing something freaky and just when I am about to die in Maths" I thought to myself.  But this shadow thingy was not going away, instead it seemed to get bigger and it seem to be coming for me.  "Help!" I tried to scream but my voice just squeaked; no matter how much I wanted to scream I just couldn't.  Just when I thought it would reach me, a door slammed down the hall way and a student walked out of a classroom.  The shadow just vanished, "hey Mels" the student said.  I looked up and saw that is was Tyrone Adams, the school heart throb. "Umm yeah hi!" I said.  

"You okay? you look as if you saw a ghost?" he said.  "Or something" I thought to myself.  "Nahh, I'm good" I waved bye and continued going to class.  I walked into class 5 minutes late, thanking the stars that my teacher was not even in the room yet. "Psssssttt, over here!" I looked up to see my other friend Nathan Rutledge holding out my chair. Nathan was a flamboyant large as life kind of person.  He was the kind of person who called a spade a spade and believe me between him and Nellie, I am left wondering how the hell I don't have grey hairs yet in my hair.  The plans that these two come up with, sometimes make me wonder if they were dropped on their heads as babies!
