~~~EMILY~~~

I woke up in my cousins room. I just laid there taking in my surroundings. I loved brookes room. The walls are a neon green that burned my eyes at such an early hour. The floor was covered in a soft fluffy black carpeting that looked so inviting. The bedspread and all the other furnishings in the room are a playful black and white zebra print. I smelt the air and my nostrils were overtaken with the overwhemling aroma of fluffy pancakes and crisp bacon. Feeling my mouth water and my stomach growl as if on cue, i slowly rose from the air mattress my cousins had set up for me, not wanting to wake them. I walked down the familiar 13 wooden stairs into the kitchen, suprised to see the whole family sitting around the tabke eating.

"Good morning vanessa!" My aunt yelled sending shocks through my freshly woken ears. "How did you sleep hunny?"

"Hi guys. I slept good. Thanks." I said yawning.

Filling a plate of food for me, michael, my older cousin, spoke "Here sit down and eat before i eat it for you."

Giggling because i knew he was being completely serious i said protectively "Keep your dirty paws off my bacon or else i will cut them off!"

Everyone laughed missing my much appreciated humor. I felt guilty though that i was having such a good time when my mom couldnt be here with me. I sat silently through the rest of breakfast focusing all my attention on the food in front of me. After stuffing my face with as much food as it could hold i said a quick thank you before hurrying up the stairs to get ready for school not wanting to get in anyone elses way.

Once reaching the bathroom i got my clothes and make up out of my duffle bag while studying myself in the mirror.

'Now vanessa. Dont punch this mirror too. It isnt yours.' My mind scolded me.

I rolled my eyes knowing it was true and quickly got dressed. Despite how i felt, i always found self appearance very important so i dressed in my usual manner. I stuggled and put on my tight skinny jeans with my brown studded belt to hold them up. I slipped on my favorite miami beach crop top i got when i visited there last year and put a brown leather jacket on over it. I placed my brown high heeled cowgirl boots on my feet to finish off the outfit. I quickly straightened my hair until it fell perfectly on my hips. I flipped it to the other side and sprayed hair spray to give it extra volume before returning it to the normal way i wore it. I applied my usual makeup which consisted of killer gold eyeshadow, light black eyeliner to frame my blue eyes, and heavy black mascara to enhance my already long eyelashes. Reviewing my work in the mirror i felt satisfied with my apprearance and ran down the stairs after grabbing my bag.

I hopped into michaels black and yellow corvet and we sped to my house to get john. I had to admitt i was totally and completely jealous of michaels car. He got it as a present for passing his drivers ed exam and it was absolutely perfect. I was secretly hoping his parents would buy me a similar car when i passed my test this year too, but i wasnt going to get my hopes up.

We arrived at the school and the four of us got out of the car hand in hand. I loved having family so close in age to me. Michael was a senior and was practically the bigger brother i never had. He was always there to protect me and give me and advice and i could never thank him enough for that. Brooke was michaels little sister and together we made sure none on the sophmores messed with her. John was my little brother and although he got on my nerves sometimes the freshman knew not to mess with him. And that left me. I was a junior and couldnt wait to get out of this school to find bigger and better things to do with my life.
