The calm before the storm

Who Are You?

I knew I was in love with him from
the moment I laid eyes on him. It was the most confusing feeling , it took over me and consumed me and swallowed me whole. I tried to ignore it but it was no use. I was completely and utterly in love with him.

----------------------------------------------

"Alex!" Get up you're gonna be late for school!" I grunted at the sound of my mothers voice echoing through the house I finally realized it was my first day back to hell.. AKA school.

I quickly rolled out of bed and hit the floor with a loud thud.

"Is everything okay up there?!" my mother yelled from the kitchen.

"Yeah!!" I yelled back "I'll be down in a minute!" I grabbed a towel and ran into the washroom , but before I got into the shower I stared at myself in the mirror. I looked at the reflection. I scanned myself over. I had always been a bit chubby. Ive learnt to live with it but it had seemed that over the summer my body had completely transformed. I had fat in all the right places.I wasn't like the typical skinny , tanned to the point of looking like an ompalopa type of girls I went to school with. I was thicker and my tan was a lot more natural. I had blue/grey eyes like my mother but I had my fathers dark hair. I couldn't help but feel nervous going back to school for my junior year. Ive completely transformed , left school looking like an awkward pudgy ugly betty, but now I'll return looking like ... Well I don't know but I sure as hell don't look like I did a year ago.

"Alex, get your lazy butt out of bed and get down here!" My mother voice snapped me back to reality

I finally realized that I'd been zoned out so I quickly hopped in the shower. By the time I got out I checked the time and my phone read 8:15. "Shit!" I muttered to myself and quickly raided my closet searching for something to wear. I didn't want to go overboard so i stuck to a black tank top and a pair of light wash high waisted shorts and paired it white converse. It was gonna be really hot today but i grabbed a a plaid button and put it around my waist just in case. My hair was still wet so i put it up in a messy bun. I put on a thin line of eye liner and a few coats of mascara and I was ready to go. I grabbed my back pack and my phone and headed for the door.

As soon as I got downstairs my mom was standing in the middle of the kitchen looking like she always does ; flawless hair pinned up in a bun , skirt and blouse without a crease in sight . As I examined my mother she practically shoved a muffin In my face.

"Thanks mom." I sarcastically muttered as I bite into the muffin. My mom was a big shoot lawyer and she was a pretty good one too. My dad wasn't really in the picture. He left us when I was 5 ... He said he wanted to travel the world and pursue his dreams and apparently he couldn't do that with a family, so he left. I don't remember much about my sperm donor ... Just that he used to read these weird Native American fairy tales too me. My mom and I have been doing just fine without him though.

I finally finished my muffin and chugged my orange juice and it was off to school we go... Yaay. Urgh school is the most dreadful place, like who's genius idea was it to put a bunch of hormonal teens in one building? I'm so over high school. The lengths that people go to , to be "popular" is so pathetic.
