'BUBBLES!!!!'

I groaned and rolled over in my bed, pulling the covers over my ears as Jade's voice rang out loudly from downstairs. I didn't want to get up, I wasn't going to get up, I won't get up! The door to mine and Jade's room suddenly swung open and before I knew it, I was being dragged out of my bed by my oversized bed tshirt and pushed into the bathroom.

'Now GET READY!' screamed Jade from outside. I screamed out in frustration and tried to open up the door, but with every attempt, I felt Jade's strong grip tighten on the outside door knob of the bathroom, making me fail miserably.

'JADE!' I shouted banging on the door.

'I'm not letting you out until you have a shower!' I kicked the door out of anger and sat down on the toilet seat, resting my head on my hands that were proped up on my thighs.

'Bianca you better not be sitting on that toilet seat. If I have to go get Auntie Beth'

'ALRIGHT!!' I screamed throwing a towel at the bathroom door. I switched on the shower and waited for the water to turn hot, whilst I undressed and place my dirty clothes in the linen basket. Now you guys are most probably wondering why I'm so darn irritated this morning. Well today is my first day of college and yeah, I know I'm supposed to be excited, but I'm not. This was not my idea of fun, but I had to go, I had no choice. My Mama who had homeschooled me for 7 years now decided she wanted to get a job in my Auntie Joy's hairdressers, so now she had no time to teach me, and that meant I finally had to go out in the world and...meet people.

I jumped in the shower and stayed under there until the hot water turned cold. The strong warm pellets of water hitting my skin, made my once tight muscles relax, and the rustle of the leaves as the wind blew threw them, made me feel at peace. As I finished washing my skin, the front door was continuously being open and shut, followed by footsteps and a lot of voices. I took a deep breath and got out the shower, creamed my skin then left the steamy bathroom to get changed. Walking into my room I saw that Jade had laid out clothes for me to wear today on my bed. I kissed my teeth and shut the bedroom door, and began to change into my underwear as I stared at the books Jade had piled on my dresser in the corner. It was obvious Jade was excited that I was finally going to school with her. It had taken 7 years for her to finally persuade my Mama to let me go to the same school as her rather than go to a private one, and now that we were going College and my mum was finally working, Jade was happier than every, skipping everywhere, laughing, smiling...to be honest it was kind of overbearing. I sprayed myself with deodorant and then put on the denim skinny jeans, with a white vest top and my black and white converses, before turning around and starting on my hair. My hair hadn't changed much since I was younger, except the fact that it had grown in size and thickness. When left out and without any sort of product I looked like a wild child, with a big mane surrounding my head. I sighed and tried my best to scoop my hair up into a high ponytail. After 3 attempts of tying it up (the hair band kept breaking) I finally got it up in one, with a huge curly, frizzy bush coming out the back. I played around with my honey brown hair for a little longer before leaving it and putting mascara on and some perfume.

'Ready?' asked Jade walking into the room and smiling her approval, 'nice' she said giving me a thumbs up. I rolled my eyes and put on my leather jacket and pink thick wooly scarf.

'You would think that, you picked it out' I replied gesturing to the outfit. Jade gave me a dismissive signal with her hand and told me to hurry up before leaving the room. After putting on a watch and a pair of thin silver hoops, I placed my books into my black tassel shoulder bag and headed downstairs to where all the noise was coming from. I opened my living room door and saw a few people my age sitting around, laughing about something.
