Mine Then, Mine Now

1

My life was boring.
I know you must think, isn't everyone's life boring?

And yes, everyone's lives are boring at some point, but mine....mine was completely utterly boring.
Well until I began my sophomore year....let's start from the beginning.
☆☆☆

I woke up 10 minutes late.

And by my standards that's a lot.
I immediately sat upright and bolted to the bathroom, silently praying nobody was in there.

My prayer failed, my little sister, Kimberly, was already there.
I banged on the door "hurry up you little rat!"

She shouted back "3 more minutes, chill man!"

Meanwhile I walked back to my room. I checked my phone, a message from my bestfriend; Rise and shine ladies, first day of tenth grade!

My bestfriend Nick, was who sent the text.

Finally Kim came out of the bathroom, she had brown hair that fell down to her chin, light tan skin and black eyes.
She was only 13, the youngest in the family.

I took a quick shower and did my typical routine.

There was a banging on the door.
"Yo JJ, hurry up in there will you?"My brother asked.

I opened the door, my dark haired,hazel eyed, 6'1, and annoying brother looked at me.

He was the oldest, Caleb...well sort of.
He was tall and muscular, but his expression was sweet or cocky most of the time.

Today it was neither, he looked at me up and down "this is inappropriate attire, no way in hell are you wearing that to school"he pointed at my pajamas.

"These are pajamas you hairy potato!".
I walked to my room.
I put on a navy blue blouse, black Jean's and white converse.

I put in my contacts, cause I may be a nerd but I wasn't cliché nerd.

I did my hair in a ponytail, since my hair was long I whacked the wall a few times.

I didn't put on makeup, I felt no need to, I had no one to impress but myself.

I didn't stare at the mirror too long, I definitely did not want to become one of those self centered, popular wannabe, rich girls.

I made my way down stairs, at the table sat my other brother, Marcus.
He was shorter than Caleb but still taller than me.

He rummaged through his bag, he seemed stressed, he didn't notice me.
His hair was black and curly, his eyes pitch black, and he had olive skin.
"Good morning to you too" I said sarcastically.

He looked up and smiled "good morning jackie."

"What are you searching for?"

He kept rummaging "my schedule, it came in the mail two weeks ago, and I swore I put it somewhere I'd remember but I can't find it."

I looked around, "dont you always put important papers on the fridge magnets?"

He stood up faster than you can say schedule, he went into the kitchen and came back with a white sheet of paper.
"Thank you soooooo much, I dont know what I'd do without you" he hugged me for a millisecond before going back to eating.

I ate pancakes my mother had made.
She was changing and stuff.

Caleb was the last one to come downstairs, he didn't eat breakfast, because pride and stuff.

My mom was on her computer doing work.
She had long brown hair, hazel eyes, and light skin.

She got up and went to start the car.
