Life as We Know It

Chapter 5

My eyes drooped heavily as I awoke. The sun shined through the window and onto my face. The light lit up the room. There was only a few weeks until John and my mother's wedding. And frankly, I am not excited to have those prank happy twins or non happy Jesse as brothers.

      I threw m yhair into a pony tail and headed for my closet. Dress? No way. Camis. OK, white. What kind of shirt? I pulled out this long sleeved shirt that looked like it was for a six year old.

   I grabbed my pair of comfort grip, blue scissors and cut the sleeves until the were tank top length. I then cut the bottom of the shirt just above my belly button. I now have a super cute outfit.

   Walking in my jeans and heels was a total no. I switched the jeans for jean shorts. Heels and shorts look good together in and odd, cute type of way. I walked out and ran into Jesse.

   "Watch where your going Barbie doll." He snapped at me continuing to where he was going.

   I took one step out of my room. I shouldn't have to worry about being run into. Where's the sign that states it's ugly duckling crossing. I smiled to myself. I am funny.

    "Your dressed?" My mother asked setting my plate of pancakes down on the mahogany table.

  I sat down and picked up my fork. "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" I put a couple pieces into my mouth and swallowed. They slid down my throat with the help of the syrup.

   "Well, you don't have school." She finally said pouring herself a cup of coffee.

   "I am going somewhere else." I stated. I wasn't lying, I really was going somewhere else. "Oh, Mom can Justin come over later?"

   She smiled, "Of course. Make sure you stay out of trouble." She warns me of that everytime.

   "Thanks Mom." I shoveled the rest of my pancakes into my mouth and sat the plate in the sink.

   Did I still smell the gunk from yesterday? No, that is impossible.

    I grabbed my purse and headed out the door. I turned around and yelled for Christina. "Christina!" She bolted down.

   "Yeah?" Her hair was already done and her make up was done too.

   "I won't be able to drive you to school today." I said looking over head across the room. I broke into a laugh when I saw the twins. I pointed to get Christina to look and she laughed too.

   "It worked. Now go up to them and ask how their hair is." She pushed me up a bit closer to them.

   "Hey boys, how's the hair?" I asked casually.

   "You did this to our hair!?" They shouted.

   "Don't do things to me." I held my guard anmd fought back. Which was silly because I was argueing with seven year olds.

  "Fine, we are sorry. And nice prank." They smiled and hugged me.

  "No more pranks, between each other. OK." I started out the door and got in my car.

   I sang the Taylor Swift song that was on the radio as I drove to the mall.

   I pulld into a front spot in the mall parking lot. I walked over to the doors and went inside. I needed shoes for the wedding, I am Mom's bridesmaid. I also needed a necklace that didn't take the attention off Mom.

    I went into DEB and found a silver, diamond heart. It was on a tiny chain and brought out the sparkle in my dress. I bought that and strolled into Gaffney's.Gaffney's is a new shoe store in the mall that has expansive shoes.
