My name is Phoebe Gathers and I am 18 years old.My parents Jennifer and Troy are never home ,they are never there,never supportive of anything I do.They are at my twin brother's tournaments,championships, spelling bees and athletic meets.He is the smarter one.Their life revolves around him.
My grandpa and grandma: Tom and Ellen Gathers are very supportive of me and anything I want to do.I stay at their place most of the time because my house is ghostly.Empty,and broken.

I have a best friend,Veronica Damon.She is 19.She is wild and enjoys partying.She has a phobia of dying alone with cats.

My twin brother Patrick..well how do i explain him.He is my twin,we look alike except I have slightly longer hair.He is smart and athletic.He has a long-term girlfriend,Laila. The perfect child.hmm.So basically, I'm the rejected child.

I get out of my bed and nearly scream as I loose my balance.I go to the bathroom and make myself presentable,a messy bun and I put my contacts in.I proceed down the staircase and as usual, I see a neon sticky note on the fridge. My parents:
Phoebe,
We took Patrick out on a celebratory lunch with Laila.He did win the states finest basketball tournament,after all.
There is money on the fridge for supper.
We wont be back till 9 or 10.
Please clean the house.
I open the fridge and make me a sunny side up egg.
I sit down by the telly watching Modern family. My fave.I also have a rather large nespresso which is going to help me through the day.

After eating I go upstairs and debate what to wear, I settle on a black tank and a powder blue boyfriend jeans,with my powder blue denim jacket.I wash and dress.
Grab my car keys and the cash.200.figures.
I text Veronica
Hey V,you up?
Yep.P.Coming?I got dunkin donuts
Yum.on my way.
❤

I get in the car and drive around the block to stop at a shop. I buy a pack of Pringles and pay.Off to V's house then.
When I reach her house I pull up in her garage(which she never uses).lock my car and grabbed the Pringles.

I knock once and then kick the door.So,she knows its me.We've been doing that since i met her.She opens the door and I'm greeted with a bright smile and a hug.I toss her the Pringle and head for the donuts and filter coffee.I flip onto the couch and shout "Morning Mr/mrs Damon" They shout back and V rolls her eyes.Never get old.
We settle on watching Modern family because that's my favourite.

After a hour of watching,V and me head out going to the mall. I walk into my fave shop
The fix. I then proceed in walking around and pick up: A black dungaree boyfriend style,two denim girlfriend jeans and an off the shoulder navy top.V picks out : A denim dress,two floral shorts and several tops all cropped.We both pay and leave.My parents gave me a credit card.They think money makes up for them not being there.
But that's not how it works.
Me and V go to my place and we order pizza-extra mushroom.yum.

As we eat I receive a text :
Party tonight.10.124 Yitshk rd.
Be there.invite V
-Jay
Sure Jay,:) see ya.
Ill tell V.

I tell V about the party.She showers and puts on her floral short and a white cropped top,donning her cut off white converse.
I put on my black boyfriend style dungaree and wear a white short sleeve cropt,underneath. I also wear my black adidas superstar.

V puts on make up,and applies mine.I straighten my hair,but leave a slight curl at the tips.V wears hers in a messy pony.

At 10 my parents aren't home yet.I shoot my mom a text.
Mom, going out.Im staying the night at Vs.Bye :)
Ok.have fun.
She doesn't care.
