Finding Cinderella

Chapter 12

Emily's P.O.V

****

I woke up. I opened my eyes and glanced at my phone. I had a text from Matt. I suddenly remembered why I was tired.

After the step family came back, they gave me more chores to do. I was so exhausted I went straight to bed once I was done. But then, Matt and I started texting each other and maybe spent maybe five hours on the phone.

I finally went to sleep around 3 in the morning. It then slipped my mind that I still have school.

I finally got up from bed. Stretching my arms and letting the few small sun rays hit my face from the attic window.

It was 7:21.

I took a quick shower and got dressed in a Hollister embarcadero white short romper with a pink tribal print design. I grabbed my ivory oversized cardigan (since it would be a little cold today) and a pair of my nude flats.

I placed my hair in a high ponytail showing my face a little more than usual. I was about to grab my mom's locket but realized it was still with Matt. It is somewhat reassuring that it's with someone I know.

I grabbed my mint green backpack and my phone. I walked down the stairs surprised that my step mom wasn't anywhere to be found. I looked behind the house where the pool is but she wasn't at her usual spot. I saw a note taped to the side of the toaster.

Went to meet up with a lawyer for personal business. Won't be back until 6 tonight. Feed the girls and grab some food after.

I sighed of course. Speaking of the devils. Lindsey and Mindy walked down the stairs wearing the tightest and shortest dresses worn by anyone. Their faces looked caked with makeup making me want to puke.

"Morning Loser." Lindsey said to me. I just glared as I continued to make thier breakfast.

I set their egg white omlets and flower sliced tomatoes on the side in front of them as they decided to eat. My phone beeped. I quickly washed the pan and went to get it. It was a text from Matt.

Matt: Morning Emy. Cristal called asking if I can pick you up. She said something about her car is not working so she's getting a ride with Nash.

I texted him back

Me: That's fine. What about Alyssa?

Matt: She's grabbing a ride with Emma. She'll explain later. I'll be at your house by 8:05

Me: Okay.

My happiness was inturrupted by Mindy speaking.

"Ah someone's in a happy mood." Mindy said disgusted.

"Why don't you shut up and finish your breakfast." I replied back. I hate them with all my heart. And I'm saying that in the nicest way possible.

"Oooh and she's fiesty also." Lindey replied. "Never thought you had that kind of side before Emy."

"Only my friends call me Emy." I replied coldly.

"Aww she thinks she has friends." Mindy said placing her hand over her heart.

"At least they're loyal unlike yours which are probably gold diggers." I replied.

They left the kitchen unsatisfied and slammed the door shut. I just rolled my eyes and cleaned the dishes. I put them all back into the cabinet. The door suddenly opened to Matt's smiling face. I smiled back.

He looked cute this morning.

"Who was I kidding he's always cute." I thought.

He had his hair styled up in his usual way. He was wearing a pair of dark jeans, his white obey sweatshirt, and his grey vans.

"Hey." He said.

"Hey." I replied. "Want something to eat before we leave?" I asked him.

"Nah I'm good ready to go?" He asked. I smiled and nodded. I grabbed my backpack and walked out the door. I locked up the house and sat passenger seat.

"You okay?" He asked once I get comfortable in the seat.

"Yeah."

"Okay here we go." He said while pulling out of the driveway.

On our way to school, we were just cracking weird jokes. I smiled thinking. "Just seeing him makes my day." Yeah it turned out to be a great morning afterall.
