Today's the first day of class and I'm supposed to be preparing, but still, I'm in bed. Too lazy to get up. Then suddenly, I heard a knock on my door. I stood up, groaning.

"Who is i--" I wasn't able to finish my question because the person who knocked just barged in.

"What the hell dude. Why'd you even knock if you're just gonna barge in anyway?' I aked, chuckling.

"Eh." He just shrugged

That's my cousin, Alex. He's a year older than me.

"Be ready. We're going to school." He said while poking my cheeks.

"Can we just sk---" He cut me off, again.

"Nope. As much as I want to, we can't." 

"Ugh. Why? This better be good."

"It's aunt's orders" He's really araid of mom.

"Why are you so scared of mom anyway?" I scoffed

"I'm not scared. It's just my way of showing some respect. Your mother is a relly great person."

Apperantly, aunt Joey and uncle Ben - his parents - died in a car crash 10 years ago. So that's why he's been staying here at our house and has really great respect for my mother.

*BLAAAG*

A loud thud was heard because Alex just literally pulled me out of bed.

"What the fuck was that for?" I asked him, half screaming

"Eh. You won't get up."

"Just get out. I'm gonna take a  shower" And with that, he left.

Lazily, I got in the shower. I stripped of my pyjamas and started washing my whole body. After I'm done, I put on my undergarments and started looking for clothes. I just settled for my of dark washed jeans, a tank top, then a hoodie that says "Fries before Guys". I slipped on my black combat boots and started to apply a little bit of make-up. I just put on a little bit of concealer to hide my eyebags, liquid eyeliner, and lip balm. I also added a little bit of smokey effect. Then I just braided my hair into a side fishtail braid. Done! And with that, I started to walk downstairs. 

"Where's mom?" I asked Alex who is busy stuffing his face with food.

"She already left for work. You were so slow." He said while puttinng the bowl  he used in the sink.

"C'mon. We're gonna be late."

"Like that's new." I said while rolling my eyes. He just shrugged and then we got into his red Range Rover.

"Can I drive? Pleaseeee?" I pracctically begged him to while giving him my puppy eyes. Nobody can resist that. 

"Ugh. I'm not falling for that again" He said while turning his head to the side, avoiding my gaze. 

"Pleaseeeeee?" I'm begging him already. What else does he want?

"No. You're only 17. You're not yet allowed to."

"Yeah. 18 in a few months. And besides, nobody has to know!"

"NO." He said sternly.

"Ugh. I really hate you"

"Awww. I love you too, cousin." He said while he poked my side.
