It's hills from here

Best or Worst day?

We get to Desty's house quickly since it take only 5 minutes when you walk. "How are you doing, Diamond?" Desty's Mom asks me  curiously. "I'm okay Mrs.Brandon, thank you." She smiles caringly and opens the door to their house. I walk in and smell lasagna, they must have been eating before they rushed to the hospital. Desty walks over to me and asks "You hungry? You didn't get any food when you got home." "Actually I kind of am. Do you think I could have something to eat?" I try to sound polite when I talk. "Of course! Do you like lasagna?" Destiny questions. I nod my head and smile. Her mom brings out the lasagna from the oven and cuts me a slice. She puts it on the table and I walk over there and eat it quickly, realizing I really am starving. "Desert?" Mrs.Brandon asks. I nod again and smile. She brings me over a piece of cheesecake and a cookies and cream ice cream bar. I unwrap the ice cream bar and eat it with my cake. I finish in less than 5 minutes and Desty carries my plate to the sink and drops it in. She comes back over to me and we walk upstairs, lugging my suitcases and backpack. We eventually get upstairs and I unpack some of my clothes in her spare drawer. We change into our PJ's and go downstairs to watch a few movies. I'm glad I have Destiny and Her mom, Mrs.Brandon.

"Diamond, wake up. We got to get ready for school." I wake up to Destiny shaking me carefully. "Sorry, I'm up. What time is it?" She hands me my phone and I look at the time. 6:20 a.m.  I get up and I remember that I forgot to plug in my alarm clock that I got from my house yesterday. I get my tooth brush, sponge and towel and go to the bathroom. Desty must have showered already because she stays in the room. I brush and shower thoroughly. Once I get out I walk to Desty's room and she's putting on mascara, she turns and smiles at me. I smile back. I change into my black wavy circle skirt and my red tank top with a long, red see-through over shirt. I pick up my black saddles and carefully put them on. Then I pull out my makeup bag and put on some mascara, not needing powder because my black eye has fully gone away. We put away our makeup and walk out of her room. I'm ready to say good morning Mom when I remember that she isn't here with me. "Good Morning Mom." Destiny says in a joyful mood. "Good Morning Mrs. Brandon." I say trying to sound happy even though I want to burst into tears. We eat breakfast which was French toast and cereal, not something my mom would make, but it was good. We finish eating in less than 10 minutes and I check the time, 7:20 a.m. We rush out the door saying bye to Mrs. Brandon and walk to school. "Diamond.....You, uh, Okay?" Desty asks. "Not really." I respond. "Just wait. Today will be the....Best day. I'll make sure of it." She replys friendly. Yeah, best...or worst. Guess I'll have to find out.
