Amber's POV


I woke up to the smell of bacon, eggs, and waffles. I rolled onto my back and stared up at the ceiling; the light-bulbs and the light teal painted plaster had suddenly become very interesting. After a couple minutes I slowly pulled the covers off myself, sat up, and dragged myself into the bathroom. I sighed as I looked into the mirror,

"Geez sis, and I thought I looked bad in the mornings"

I whipped around to see my older brother Dawson standing in the doorway. "Dawson!" i jumped into his arms, " you're not supposed to back for another 2 weeks"

"I know, I know but I missed you Rosey" Dawson teased

I scowled at the childhood nickname. Dawson's been away at college and I haven't seen him for 3 months. As kids we were best friends more or less. It had defiantly been, and still is, a love/hate relationship. When he went away 2 years ago, it had been really hard. I was definitely happy he was back.

"But seriously Rosey, you look atrocious, don't let Ethan or Emma see you; they'll be scarred for months"

He ducked down and ran off laughing as I threw a random bottle of lotion at him. I turned back to mirror and started to let my hair out of its two french braids. My long brunette hair fell down my back in soft waves. I quickly put on some light make-up and got dressed in some ripped skinny jeans, a simple t-shirt that said "If you love me, let me sleep" grabbing my mint chucks, I jogged down the stairs into the kitchen.

Walking into the kitchen, I glanced at the clock:                       8:15

I groaned, a sharp knock at door affirmed that I was running behind. "Amberrrrrr" Sophia annoyed voice carried into the house as she barged in. "Do you want to be late? Because I don't and it's your turn to drive."

"I know, I know. I'm hurrying!"

I grabbed a waffle and shoved a piece of bacon in my mouth, and turned to walk out the door.

"Amber I swear to- oh, Hi Dawson"

I turned to see Sophia oogling over my older brother. When we were little she used to have the biggest crush on him. Apparently she still does.

She cleared her throat.
"W-when did you um, you know, get back"

He smirked.
That little piece of.... The fact that Sophia thought he was hot seemed to boost his ego about 10 levels higher. And trust me, he doesn't need an ego boost.
