Never judge a book by it's cover

I groan, reaching over and slamming my alarm shut. I groan again as I realise that today is the day. The day I go into the school for the first time.

I get up and drag myself to the bathroom, splashing cold water all over my face and brush my teeth, trying not to waste my time.

I then head on over to where I keep my clothes for the time being; and take out some skinny jeans-the left knee cap area ripped-, a "Vogue 13" short-sleeve top with a black jacket. I wrap a purple and blue flannel around my waist, and wear my probably only actual trainers I own. Finally, I top of the look with a beanie that says "Tomboy squad"

Just because I'm a girl but don't act like one, doesn't limit my fashion sense people. The amount of times someone told me they assumed I had bad fashion sense... ahhhh. If only I was allowed to punch you in the God damn face.

I grab the new gym bag, yes my gym bag, and put a few notebooks that Alyssa was forced to give to me from Uncle Leo. They'll do, besides I'm just writing notes aren't I.

Yup I need to get me some actual notebooks and a few pens and what not. Oh well. For now I'm just using a black pen that Alyssa also allowed me to borrow.

Maybe I really should have got myself some stationary...

Now, I'm using a gym bag because one, they are really easy to carry, like seriously you don't understand. Two, they are really spacious and can fit a lot of things, including a few water bottles. And three, I won't have to have a seperate gym bag when I have PE.

I open my door and walk out, walking straight into Cody's room to wake him up. He doesn't have a manual alarm man, he has me. I grin widely as I grab my water bottle and splash it over his face.

"ALEX!" He groans and rubs his eyes sleepily. "What is your problem? You said you would never do the water trick,"

"As long as we stay in secondary, I know." I retort my promise. "We ain't in Secondary no more, we're going to high school."

"Hey! That's not fair, you finding friggin loop holes Alex!" He says and I chuckle as I walk out his door. "Hurry up. You got 20 minutes tops." I holler and then head him recite a colourful string of curse words.

For someone that swears a lot, he curses a lot more than I do... And he's younger than me. I don't see the logic.

I shake my head and make my way downstairs, to see Cara running around, playing with her doll. Or it might just be ranting to it.

She notices someone watching and says, "Hi! My name is Cara! Daddy told me I had cousins to play with!" She says happily and I laugh.

I jog down the stairs and then bend down to her level as I reach the end of the staircase.
