I finished outlining my blue eyes with a thick black line and dark eye shadow, I fluffed my hair up and put a bow in it. "Angel come on your pancakes are getting cold!" a voice called as my bedroom door opened, that voice was my mom. She was bouncy with blonde curls and bright blue eyes, her rose perfume filled my room as she smiled at me. In my eyes she was gorgeous and I couldn't understand why she was alone, she wasn't just my mom she was my best friend.

"Yeah mom I was just doing my hair" I said sliding off my chair and following her downstairs, I only lived with her. My dad left when I was just a baby, he was a waste of space and has never seen me not that I really care my mom is all I need. I sat at the table and munched on my pancakes, "you know Angel I wish you hadn't dyed your hair you used to have the most cute blonde curls" my mom mused. "My style is way cooler" I said twisting it round my finger. I had brown hair with pink and blue hair extensions, I loved my hair because I was very much into 'scene' hair. I love the whole poofing it up and having different coloured extensions to put in.

"Right come on lady shift your butt or you will be late for school" my mom said as I washed my plate up and went to brush my teeth. Once I was done I pulled on my yellow dm's and walked downstairs. "Right I'm going see you later love you!" I said as she stood in the hall tapping her cheek. I smiled and kissed her cheek before heading out the door, I was 15 years old a I live in Burbank California. I go to deanes street high and I'm a straight A student, Ive had my fair share of taunting because I'm apparently a geek or a nerd but I don't care what people think of me.

I only have one friend, her name is Rebecca Osbourne. She skinny with a dark Bob and emerald eyes, we've been best friends since kindergarten. Shes a big fan of some pop star, some gay dude with a massive ego who clearly spends too much money on beauty products. Me I'm not a fan I mean sure he has a good voice but meh, I'm more of a Katy Perry girl to be honest. As I crossed the road I saw a massive removal van next door to my house, wow someone new must be moving in. Old Mrs Jefferson must have gone to live in her fancy retirement complex in LA, we heard about it for months.

A bouncy mass of dark air ran over to me and hugged me tightly,"oh hey Becca yo scared the jaheebuz outta me" I said as she laughed. "Hey angel, guess what guess what!" she said practically jumping on the spot. "What?" I asked, "he's doing a intimate mini concert in the dusky lounge tomorrow night!" she squealed. "Who is?" I questioned, "Adam" she said giving me a Dur face. "That's nice" I said walking up the road with her.

"I have tickets well 2 of them" she said, "wait why do you need 2?" I mused as she smiled and fluttered her eyelashes at me. "No Becca I'm not coming with you I can't stand him" I said, "pretty please Angel" she said giving me puppy dog eyes. "Fine I'll come" I gave in as she squealed and looped her arm through mine.

We walked into class and sat down next to each other, my teacher walked in and sat at his desk. He had sunglasses on and we all knew he was hungover, Mr Robson was a alcoholic and we all knew it. It was a wonder he was still employed here, he didn't teach us a lot. The rest of the class took this as a chance to mess around while our teacher snored in the chair.

The bell rang for the end of class as we filtered out, I made my way to my locker while becca peed. Some guy walked straight Into me knocking me sideways a little. "Hey dude watch where your going" I snapped. He span round and gave me a dirty look before turning on his heel and marching up the hall. I shook my head in disgust that some people can be so rude, "what you shaking at?" Becca asked. "Huh oh nothing just some rude kid that walked straight into me" I said as we headed to our next class.

Later that day...

The bell rang for the end of school, I headed to my locker to get my stuff and the headed out of the entrance. Becca came bounding over to me, "hey you didnt wait for me!" she said. "Oh yeah I didnt know you wanted me to" I answered, "well obviously dur brain I want to help you pick something out for tomorrow night!" she told me.

"Seriously you know I dont need help you nut" I answered, but becca insisted. I unlockdmy front door and called "hey mom im home ive got becca". "Ok babe just in the garden" she called back as I pulled off my boots and Becca slipped of her converse. My mom has a thing for wearing shoes inside, I sat on my bed as Becca rummaged through my wardrobe. "This is pretty" she said holding up some pink dress. "God no Becca I havent worn that since I was like 10 its just bleurgh" I said.

"Ok this?" she asked holding up my black skinny jeans, a sparkly top and my glittery DM's. "Yeah I guess thats cool" I agreed as she sat on my bed, she stayed until like 6 but then went home. I wandered downstairs and told my mom I was out tomorrow night, "oh really where are you off to?" she asked. "To see that Adam guy Becca is crazy about shes dragging me along" I said, "oh right ok but I thought you couldnt stand him?" she said. "No I cant but I will take cotton wool and sunglasses" I said laughing, "oh right ok well i'll pick you up if you want. Just text when it finishes" she replied.

"Awesome thaks mom youre a star anyway its getting late I suppose I better go do my homework and then go to bed love you" I said kissing her and heading up to my room. Once  was done with homework I had a quick shower and cuddled down under my duvet watching a film.
