Tallys Pov
'.... And that concludes BBC news at 8am.'
What. Holy crud. I spring up from the couch groaning when I feel my back, it's stiff as hell. (No not a euphemism.) I swear, one day I may actually break my back.
Blinking a few times trying to get my eyes to adjust to the particular lighting. I rub my forehead and blink a few more times. Hmm a note. I peel the note from my head letting out a small yelp. Those things pull out more hair than you think.
After blinking more I can make out the handwriting. And its owner. My mother.
'Hello dear, me and your father have..... gone out for a while on work. See you not so soon, sorry:( Love you Xoxoxo'
Ha sorry my fabulous butt. And love you? How can I be so sure. I screw the fluro green note into a ball and chuck it wherever not really caring where it lands. I lift myself up and walk over to the flashing phone. Play messages.
You have two new messages.
Message one delivered at 7:08 am: Hey darling! It's dad, Just telling you we'll be back in a few months sorry it's so long, We have arranged something for you, Bye! Love you!
I don't actually care. Well maybe I do but details...
Message two delivered at 7:58 am: Tally? Hi, It's Heather, You know me I came 'round to see you last Tuesday? Remember? Good. Now, Your father asked me to look after you for the duration of their work business, so I asked Ellis to come and pick you up at around 8:10 to take you to school. See you soon hun.'
End of messages.
I now have the sudden urge to throw that answering machine out of the window with its fake weird voice.
I look to the side seeing the clock. I have around 6 minutes to get ready for Ellis Webber to take me to school. The most wanted boy in our school is going to take me to school. Panic-struck, I run up the stairs and fly into my room. I grab new underwear and my school uniform. As I don't have time for a shower I load on the deodorant and body spray. I Strip down and pull my bra and underwear on, I slide over to my side on the wooden floor grabbing my hair and spray my body.
Pulling my fabulous spotty socks on, I then try to pull my skinny black school trousers but fail miserably noticing I haven't undone the buckle.
After getting dressed I look at myself quickly in the mirror. All I can see is Dark brown hair with hints of red it, the only thing I really love is the shades of my hair. Looking down I can see Green eyes, I decided to add a bit of mascara on just to make my eyes look more awake. Then I see my boring school uniform, Though I did change the standard Black baggy shapeless trousers for my skinny ones, but other than that you have to wear a white blouse/Shirt, then a thin jumper and then you guessed it. A tie and blazer. But most of the time I only wear the jumper. Screw blazers.
I pull my hair up into a quick braid. After hair spraying I rush along into the bathroom to do my teeth and all that jazz.
"Oh Tally!" I hear a muffled voice shout up. That's probably Ellis. I mutter under my breath and run down the stairs.
"One minute." I say sliding past the door, I run into the living room picking my phone and bag up. Then Going into the kitchen and grabbing a bagel I run to the door and yes you guessed it straight into it.
The door opens and bright light enters. "Oww." I say rubbing my head and shoving the bagel into my mouth. I stand up and walk straight ahead obviously my brain had like a mini stroke as I forgot who was standing there.
