CLOCKWORK

Beep Beep Beep. I turn over and look at my alarm 6:00 AM.   "321" I mumble
" Up Up Up, come on get ready school today!" Mum yelled, opening the curtains and stripping back the covers. (our house works like clockwork)I grumble as I roll out of bed. Mum walks out the room. I stand up and walk towards my closet, " what to wear?  What, to, wear?" I ask myself. I end up choosing a pair of black skinny jeans, a white sleeveless button shirt and a pair of black circle sunglasses with a wire frame. I tie my red coloured hair into a fishtail braid going down my back. I look in the mirror
" damn I look fine" I say to myself "but?" I make a few adjustments until I decide on tying the loose end of my shirt in a knot. " Perfect!" I smile.

As Blaire and I walk to our high school,
Wicklow high school ( the local comprehensive school, Wicklow is in Ireland ) she looks at me " you have beautiful eyes you know, there so blue" she tells me. "Thanks?" I tell her. It's so weird she never compliments me. We walk the rest of the way in silence. As we walk through the gates I see my 3 best friends: Emily, Amelia and Lucy. I walk towards them "hey" I feel a sense of warmth around me as we began to talk about our weekend. I look at my watch, we all look at each other "3,2,1" we say in unison. DING DONG DING DONG.
