The Lucky One

Ch. 1 All about Me

Mikayla's P.O.V

Beep! Beep! Beep!

I groan, and manage to shut my alarm off without getting out of bed. Then two minutes later my dad walks in and says, "Get up sweetheart it's time to go to school." "Ugh. Five more minutes Dad." I whined. He left the room and I began to stretch out on my bed like a cat. I slowly got up and went to the bathroom.

I turned to face the mirror, "Ah!" Like usual my hair turned itself into a giant rats nest while I slept. I got dressed quickly and tried to brush my hair where it looked decent. Then I ran downstairs for breakfast. When I got to the table I fixed myself a bowl of cereal while my Mom said, "Good morning sweetie did you sleep well?" "Yeah, I slept great."

I looked at the clock and realized I was running late. I jumped up, "I gotta go Mom, see you later! Love you!" I call out as I leave the house. "Ugh I really wish I had a car." I said to myself as I ran down the street.

Yeah, you heard right. I have to walk to school because I can't afford a car. And that's not even the worst part, I'm a senior in high school. I made it just in time to get to my seat for first period before I was late. "Where have you been?" my best friend Laura asked. I've known her since kindergarden and we're really close.

"I was running late, and it doesn't help I don't have a car to get me hear." I told her. " You should have texted me I would have given you a ride." Laura said concerned. Laura is the bestest friend ever. She will do anything for me, and always offers to take me places cause she knows I don't have a car.

I won't let her though most of the time because I feel like Im taking advantage of her. Before I could answer her I was interrupted from my thoughts. "Ok class lets start off with turning to page 76 in your English textbooks..." I started to block the teacher's voice out and was daydreaming about meeting One Direction.

Yep. You heard right, the talented British boy band that almost everyone on the planet is obsessed with. And just like with every boy band you have a favorite. Don't get me wrong I love the rest of the lads, but Niall Horan held a special place in my heart. I have been a Directioner since the X Factor auditions, and STILL haven't been able to go to one of their concerts.

If you are a Directioner like me, I know you feel my pain. Lots of other Directioner's are in that same situation as me. Actually My friend Laura has never seen them live either, but she has all the boys Cd's, posters, etc.

Suddenly I was brought out of my thoughts from my teacher Mrs. Morgan, " Mikayla, Mikayla!"
"I'm sorry,what?" I said as I started coming back into reality. "I just asked you several times if you could read paragraph three for us." "Oh, sorry I was just..." The teacher cut me off,"Just not paying attention again?! One more mishap like this young missy and I will send your butt to detention! Am I clear?!"

A bit of a bitch much? "Yes Mrs. Morgan. Sorry Mrs. Morgan" I said as all the other kids in class laughed at me. Ugh, this was gonna be a loong day.
