Alex's P.O.V
I heard my phone go off from across the room which woke me up. Groaning, I threw my blanket off of my body and headed across the room to turn off the alarm. Mornings were my least favorite thing in the world, especially Monday mornings. There was nothing really bad about them it was just the fact that it was school and I walked around like a zombie until I'd finished my second cup of coffee. I made my way over to my bathroom and brushed my teeth while waiting for the water to heat up. The hot water seemed to wake me up along side the cinnamon scented body wash I used. I wasn't as groggy as I stepped out of the shower and wrung out my dripping wet blonde hair. Quickly wrapping my towel around my self I made my way over to my closet, and pulled out my cheer uniform. It was game day so the uniform was required. After pulling my uniform out I walked to the other side of the room and grabbed a pair of white lace panties and a bra that matched. I checked the time on my phone, it was only 6:00 which left me with around 2 hours before I had to be at school. Coffee sounded good. I quickly put on my uniform and undergarments and made my way towards the kitchen.
Our kitchen was nice, black stones tile and white marble counter tops. I absolutely loved it, I ran over to the coffee pot and started some coffee. It seemed to be taking forever to brew so I ran up the stairs into my room and turned on my favorite playlist on Spotify, mostly consisting of: The White Stripes, Of Mice and Men, Suicide Silence, Pierce The Veil, and Bring Me The Horizon. After finally finding a song that I was in the mood for I turned on my straightener and went down stairs to get a cup of coffee. A little bit of Irish Cream creamer and a little bit of sugar was all I needed. How could anyone drink it straight? I'd seen my parents do it several times but it was far too bitter for my taste. After bringing my coffee upstairs I started straightening my hair. This was a very long process, and my thick hair made it even more difficult. It took over thirty minutes for me to get it done, it was quite the process. I looked at the time, 6:47. Damn, I needed to get in gear. I still had several things left to do: makeup, breakfast, get my little sister up and ready, and pick up Aaron from his house.
My makeup didn't take much time, aside from attempting to get the winged eyeliner even on both sides. Other wise a fairly simple routine: primer, foundation, concealer, powder, blush, slight contour, highlight, neutral smokey eye, eyeliner, mascara. Or at least it was simple to me because I was so used to doing it. I spent somewhere around twenty minutes on my makeup. I was completely ready aside from putting on my shoes. My white Asics were fairly easy to put on, but I guess all shoes are really. It was 7:00 when I checked the time, time to get my little sister up. I walked into her pink princess themed room, typical six year olds room I guess. Our parents were on a business trip until Wednesday so it was my job to get Brooklyn up and ready for school. I don't mind though, I love my little sister a lot. She typically wants me to wake her up anyway so it doesn't really bother me.
I had to move the canopy out of the way so that I could sit on her bed. "Brooklyn, it's time to wake up honey." I said softly she looked up at me with really tired eyes "noooo" she groaned. "Okay you gotta get up, you have school today" she looked up at me and pouted "Fine" she said quickly. I couldn't lie it was kinda funny how much she would pout to avoid school. Brooklyn got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom in the hallway, she didn't have a personal bathroom like my room had. We looked nothing alike aside from our bright blue eyes that we inherited from our mother. She had light brown hair that fell in soft curls while my hair was a dirty blonde color and was just barely wavy. She was adorable though, she had chubby rosy red cheeks. While she was in the bathroom brushing her teeth and brushing out her hair I walked over to her dresser to get her an outfit. It was slightly cold out so I had to find something warm for her. I picked out a white sweater, dark wash skinny jeans, and a pair of ankle boots. While she got dressed I poured her some cereal and grabbed a protein shake out of the fridge for myself. This seemed to be a fairly good morning so far, we were still doing fine on time it was only 7:21 so I packed her lunch and waited for her to come into the kitchen to eat. She was taking quite a while, I wonder what is taking so long. I walked into her room and saw that she had fallen asleep on her bed again. I picked her up and brought her into the kitchen, "Brooklyn, wake up sweet heart" she woke up almost immediately but her hair was a mess. I told her to eat breakfast while I went upstairs to get her brush and a few other things to do her hair. While she finished eating I put her hair into a French braid. She looked up at me after I finished her hair and said "Sissy do you like school because I really like it?" It was an innocent question " Yes Brooklyn, I love school. What's your favorite thing about school?" Her eyes lite up and she quickly explained how much she loved recess while I put up the dishes. To my disdain it was time to leave for school.
