Trust, Love, and Lost Relations

Final Exam

Clarissa's P.O.V

I woke up to a weight on my hip and a weight on the end of my bed. I groaned and rolled over hiding my head underneath my blue, flower patterned pillow trying to go back to bed.

Finally, after trying for about twenty minutes to return to my lovely dream where the Pink Sluts-as I like to call them- were getting expelled from school, I finally rolled onto my back. I was annoyed at the sight of my half brother, Nick, now laying on my stomach, and my half sister, Morgan getting off of my feet. "Your feet stink," she complained scrunching up her nose. "At least it wasn't my butt," I sassed back.

"Someone's got her sassy pants on this morning," my sister, Felicity, said walking into the room. I simply stuck my tongue out at her in reply. As soon as Felicity gave Morgan and Nick a look, they scurried out of the room. "Annoying little midgets," Felicity grumbled teasingly. "Come on lazy ass, get up."

Just as I was literally beginning to roll out of bed, we heard our adopted father's deep voice yelling "Hurry up, we need to leave in an hour!" I scrambled out of my bed quickly and fell flat on my face. "Ow," I said plainly. I stood up and headed to my closet to grab my converse. Then, all of a sudden I'm on my butt on the floor. I look behind me to see what I tripped over only to find nothing on the floor. Seriously?? I just tripped over AIR?! At that moment I was glad that my siblings had all left my room because they would have laughed at me for weeks and I would never live it down.

Hi, I'm Clarissa Malik-Smith and I'm 17 years old. I have strawberry-blonde hair, hazel eyes, a hell of a lot of freckles, and tanned skin. I'm told that I'm part Irish, part Scottish, part Indian, and part British.

I like to think that I'm fun and I'm very energetic. I'm also hyper, kind, sympathetic, and scary when I'm mad. I'm very immature and talented. My favourite animal is a horse, my favourite colour is baby blue, and I would love to live in California in my lifetime. I'm a town person, not really a country girl, and my favourite music artist is Hunter Hayes. I would love to visit London one day and my best friend is a girl named Melanie.

I am related to the one and only Zayn Malik from One Direction, but unfortunately I don't remember him much. I was adopted when I was really little along with my sister, Felicity. We were adopted because our birth parents couldn't handle four kids at once. As Doniya and Zayn were older than us, they got to stay. It's not as if our parents didn't love us-because they loved us very much- but it still hurts sometimes.

I was getting dressed for school when I heard my phone go off. It was my best friend Melanie Tomlinson- who just happened to be the sister of Louis Tomlinson, also from One Direction, but she got adopted as well. She was making sure that we were still picking her up to take her to school. I quickly replied that we were , and continued to struggle into my skinny jeans.

After I finally got into my jeans-damn those things are hard to get on- and went to look for a cute top to wear. I found a blue v neck one that said Aeropostale on it and it had an 87 on the left sleeve.

I went downstairs, and seen Felicity hugging Morgan, Nick, Spring, and David. I had never been comfortable calling them mom and dad or anything along those lines, so they were fine with being called by their names.

I walked over, hugging them all too. "Have a good day, guys," I said to the kids. They were going with our parents to Florida for a couple months, and leaving in a couple days, so we'd been hugging them a lot more lately.

An hour later, Felicity and I were in the van ready to go get Melanie. I then realized that I forgot my Ray bans and rushed back into the house to get them. I can never leave the house without those, even if it was raining outside. Finally, we all got settled again and we were off. Melanie lived in a pretty boring looking house. All the ones on that street looked the same. They were all made out of brick with brown shingled roofs. When we got there, Melanie was waiting for us outside of her house. She quickly got into the van and we headed to school.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When we arrived at school, Melanie and I met up with our friends, Eva, Gabby Horan- sister of Niall Horan, also adopted, and Ellie. Our school was called the PEI School of the Arts. Our group was one of the best and most popular girl bands in the school. We called ourselves Second Generation. Ellie and I play guitar, Gabby and Melanie sing, and Eva plays drums.

The other popular girl band is the Pink Sluts *cough* I mean The Pinks. They are the school bitches and everyone seems to love them. I personally think they're only popular because they've slept with about two thirds of the male population... but anyways when they perform, they wear skimpy clothes like booty shorts and crop tops. May I just say ew?! Their "leader" is a girl named Abby Angleton. Her second in command is a girl named Grace. Both of them are the bitches of the century. The other three, Brianna, Anna, and Katrina follow the two of them around like lost puppies. I swear none of them have a brain of their own.

The Insane Asylum Escapees are the third group on the school popularity scale. They are some of the most fun and immature people you will ever meet. They all have a weird adoration for Disney movies. They also all like music. My sister, Felicity is in that group. Then there's Caro, she keeps them all in line. The other three members are Chris, Katrish, and Lexi. They never actually escaped the mental asylum, but they definitely do some crazy shit.

Then there's the Daredevils. The Daredevils are a group of the best athletes in the province. They don't really go to our school, but they still rank on the popularity scale. The popular jocks I guess you could call them. Their names are Tyler, Taylor, Drew, Devin, and Carter. They all play soccer, basketball, rugby, nukemball, and volleyball. Two of them are taken, (Taylor and Devin) but that doesn't stop three quarters of the female population from having crushes on them. The Daredevils are actually really good friends with The Insane Asylum Escapees and Second Generation. The great thing about the boys is that they all despise the Pink Sluts with a passion. A few of the Pink Sluts have tried getting their attention but were rejected every time.

"So, are you nervous?" Gabby asked them all, referring to the exam they all have to take in about 15 minutes. They all had a Math exam today. None of them were very good at it, and they were all shaky and freaking out. "What kind of question is that?" I asked shocked she would ask such a dumb question. The bell rang signalling there were five minutes before we had to be in our classrooms. We all rushed to our lockers grabbing our stuff, and walked into our classroom. "Good luck girls," I said trying to take my own advice and praying for good luck.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So how do we feel we did?" Melanie asked as soon as we were out of the wretched classroom. "I feel like I did ok, I did my best anyways," I sighed. "What about all of you?" There was a chorus of "ok"s and "eh"s, and a "dreadful" from Gabby. "I'm sure you did great," I reassured " you're better than the rest of us at math anyways." I smiled at her reassuringly.

After that, we were sick of the school building, so we all left. Felicity, who was really good at English-which was the exam she had to take- felt pretty confident about her results. We headed home and I took what felt like a 13 hour nap.

Author's Note: Kay, so this story is being co written with my sister, as she had the dream that inspired this story. Her Wattpad name is ClaireseSmith. Why not give her a follow?? *wink, wink, nudge, nudge* 😉😉 I'm also very sorry for the horribly cliché title, we're working on it. And I feel pretty confident about this, but this is my very first story, so I could be imagining things. Also, my sister's spelling is atrocious. So don't judge her for it. She's only 12

Co-author's note: thank you for even giving this book just a small look it mean's a lot to both of us thx.😋😋
