Angelo woke up slowly to the blaring alarm. He cracked open his eyes glancing around as he attempted to read what his clock said. His vision began to go in and out, he shook his head and sat up and stared at the ground for a moment. He slowly and gently reached towards his end table to grab his glasses, once he had grasped them he opened them and put them on and blinked a few times as his vision slowly returned; he read what the clock said, it was early, it was 5:00am on the dot. He yawned and groaned quietly, he didn't understand why but he was still tired, almost as if he didn't sleep at all; He had grown used to this though, he was always tired, he just powered on through it.
He stood up slowly and made his way over to his dresser and pulled out his clothes that he had planned for his first day of high school. He dressed himself then walked over to his mirror and admired himself and exzamined his clothes, he wondered if he looked alright. He wore a long sleeved white dress shirt with a vest and tie and long black pants. His mother had picked this outfit for him. He shook his head and decided to dress more casual. He changed into a green plaid tee and black jeans and his suspenders. He looked in the mirror once more and started from the bottom to the top. He wore now long white socks which could only be partially seen, dark black denim pants and a green tee. He looked into the mirror closely at his face to gander at himself. He sighed realizing he still didn't like the way he looked, but it wasn't the clothes it was his face...it was him that was the problem. He pushed some of his long wavy golden blonde hair to the side. He had light pale fair skin and gentle blue friendly eyes with long black lashes. He smiled at the mirror awakwardly, reveling his shiney new braces yay...not. He poked at his perfectly placed freckles and sighed. He hated the way he looked and everyone at school did too. He was the loser that nobody even acknowledged; well except his two friends Bizz and his own brother James. He wasn't sure if he should count his brother, but he did. He rushed into the bathroom and brushed his teeth and brushed his hair and quickly braided it quickly and rolled it into a bun and pined it up. He breathed in a deep breath and sighed. He had given up, but as he breathed in he could smell the salty savory smell of his mother's maple bacon egg surprise. It was her specialty, he smiled happily and rushed down the stairs letting his empty stomach and nose lead the way. Once he walked down the narrow dark staircase. He walked along the long hallway to the illuminated doorway that lead to the kitchen. His mother's gently humming could be heard. He sat down and glanced around and smiled at her and spoke softly at first and then spoke in a sarcastic way, " Morning mom, I take it our prince James is still asleep" his mother chuckled and shook her head in disapproval as she spoke, "yes he is still asleep I think" as she finished her words a loud thud could be heard up stares, they both stared up and chucked a bit as they looked at each other as his mother spoke again, "well I think he's up now" she glanced at the clock and gasped and grabbed her bag and kissed Angelo's head; Angelo knew what this meant, she was in a rush, this was his mother's way of saying "I love you, be safe, I'll see you later". His mother grabbed a bagel and put it in her mouth; she quickly headed out the door. As she closed the door behind her Jasper Angelo's older brother sluggishly walked down the stairs. Angelo was envious of his brother, he had such style and looked cool without trying. Jasper was wearing a red acdc shirt with cut off sleeves and styled torn black jeans with his skater shoes (which he designed himself with anime characters all over them) and to top it off he had a beautiful cheasnut brown hair and clear olive complexion with beautiful piercing green eyes, he was a bit taller then Angelo. He had piercings too, Angelo wasn't sure what they were called, but he had 2 on his lips and they were all over his ears and he had a belly ring. He wanted to get some, but he was too afraid. Jasper could feel eyes on him and glanced at Angelo, it was Angelo that was staring at him. He stared at Angelo with an odd expression and spoke sarcastically "I know I'm a beautiful creature but you don't have to stare all day long, take a picture it lasts longer" he posed and chucked. Angelo just glared at him and just as he was about to holler at him their other two brothers walked down the step and Nicholas (also known as Nic or Nicky ) gave him a look that said "don't" Angelo sighed and slumped in his seat. Angelo looked up and grumbled as he thought to himself "why is everyone so perfect...and I'm not?..". Nick had shiny blue tinted black hair, with fair skin, he was short but built up, he had mulces all over, all though that's not shocking he is a quarter back. He wore a white tee and blue jeans and black penny loafers. James was oddly perfect, his look just suited him. James had dark mohaganey brown hair, pale skin that was nearly as white as snow, he had bright green eyes that almost glowed. He dressed in a very feminine way. He wore a lavender sweater with a floral design and black skinny jeans and dark purple flats with small sunglasses in his hair. Nick walked pass Angelo not even saying good morning to his brother. This wasn't unusual, it just felt different today. They three young guys could hear the roar of Nicolas's 65 mustang fastback, and they could hear the tires screech as he peeled out. The three guys looked at each other and shrugged. Angelo looked at James and spoke "I'm surprised all three of you were up before Zion". James seemed uncomfortable with him mentioning Zion but he wasn't sure why. Jasper cut in and said "he'll be down soon". Angelo was the youngest of them, he had turned 15 this past January. The oldest was Zion, he was turning 19 soon. The second oldest was Nicolas he's 18. Then we're the twins Jasper and James; Jasper was older by 15 minutes, they were both 17 but Jasper acted like he was much older. James suddenly focused his attention on Angelo and spoke seriously yet excitedly toward Angelo " are you excited about your first day? Oh Oh and also I almost forgot to ask...oops, how are you feeling?". Angelo just rolled his eyes and spoke sarcastically "I'm just riviting with joy and I feel wonderful". James didn't even blink twice and didn't even seem to catch the sarcasm and just smiled warmly and spoke happily "well isn't that just lovely, I was worried you'd be nervous...since you know..first day..big day..new and you know hehe!". Jasper looked at his twin dumbfounded, he just smacked his forehead and sighed. Suddenly Zion made his way down the steps, his white blonde curly hair poofed on the top of his head with his gel smoothed sides, he wore black jogging pants and a Batman tee with his small red glasses; He spoke with an odd tone "good morning everyone, shouldn't you two hurry off to school? I can give you guys a ride if you don't want to take the bus?". Jasper looked at James and he smiled back oddly and Jasper nodded and said "sure". Angelo didn't want to ride with them but he didn't want to take the bus either, he spoke up " you guys go ahead I'll take the bus". They all looked at each other and nodded, Jasper and James headed out and Zion followed just behind them but stopped suddenly. Zion spoke with a serious yet somewhat concerned tone "are you sure?" He gave him a look of questioningly, Angelo just nodded and smiled. Zion shrugged and walked off.
Angelo waited until he heard the car drive off, he grabbed his bag and headed out the door and on his way to school.
