Amanda rubbed her eyes and stretched out her hand to turn off the blasting alarm. It was 5:30 in the morning and still dark outside. She had just awoken from a deep slumber to now be interrupted by going to school.

Amanda had the three B's, Beautiful, Bratty, and Bitchy. All were key factors in her personality and helped her throughout her everyday life. She didn't have the same problems of any 17 year old. For instance, she was the star cheerleader of her high school and was dating the captain of the football team. She had everyone waiting on her hand and foot, and if that wasn't glamorous, enough she had the face that would make a married man drop his pants in an instant!

When you'd say that most got along with Amanda, that would mean the majority of kids at her school. But there were always a few that - well for lack of a better term, didn't appreciate her bossy attitude.

The morning that followed was nothing out of the usual, Amanda got up and dragged herself to the shower and washed up for about an entire hour as if she was in a sauna. She then would pick out an expensive top along with a short skirt that barely skimmed past school guidelines. And with no breakfast, but mere cannabis, her day soon began to unravel like a piece of rotten Halloween candy...

...

Homecoming was soon, and if I didn't look my best Tony and I wouldn't be named, 'Couple of the year!' It almost seemed inevitable, but yet at the same time, I felt as if nothing was set and stone unless you put the stone down yourself. There were many girls from the cheerleading team that had a chance of winning, and even though I was the prettiest one, anything could happen. The reason why I say this is because last year Regina Ofelia was the captain of the cheerleading team, and was going to be crowned homecoming queen. But when the dance came around, she and her boyfriend were in a brutal car crash. And even though they both survived, Regina was permanently disfigured, her face once the beauty of the school, was now mistaken for the shit you'd find in your school lunch from the cafeteria. Thus proving to me, to succeed in life, you have to be one step ahead of all incoming obstacles and risks.

As for Tony, he was everything you wanted in a man. We had been together for about a year now, and things have been great. Tony's the kind of guy that would take you out to dinner at I-Hop, and then ask you for a blowjob in the car. And even though he wasn't the fanciest guy in the school, I still loved him because he was MINE.

Tony didn't excel in academics, as a matter of fact, he hated it. After high school, he planned to work his way up to manager at the local Sport's Authority. Which I honestly thought was very noble of him, and that was if he didn't get drafted for college football. Tony was fantastic, and when I say fantastic, you better believe it!

A record breaker and notorious for being one of the best players in the state, there was no reason for him not to be drafted. Recruiters were already looking for him, and he has so much going for him! I can't even express my happiness and pride to stand by him!

As for me, I always wanted to pursue a career in modeling. I didn't need to 'train' for it, I had a raw natural talent for being gorgeous. And if that wasn't enough I had many credentials to go by, between multiple beauty pageant wins and being nominated the prettiest girl in school, girls would cut themselves up to remotely look like me!

I also had a great set of friends. We were all pretty, promising, and popular. If that wasn't enough to intimidate the girls and turn on the guys, we also made up a lot of the cheerleading team.

In the morning it always seemed like I had a lot of time to myself, but by the time I get done doing my hair and applying my makeup I have barely enough time to eat breakfast! And I always craved a good breakfast for the munchies.
