"Your really beautiful, you know that" he said, and tucked a piece of hair behind my ear
"T-thanks" I stuttered, blushing furiously
His green eyes threatened to consume me, as they pulled me in. Suddenly, he moved closer, so that his lips were brus...
Ugh, time to go to school. Why do alarms have to be so annoying? I get up and check the time. 7 o'clock. That's tons of time. I get up and get in the shower. Luckily no one has gotten up yet, so it was free. I get in and scrub myself with body wash.
Why do elephants have big ears? I wonder if there is a real-life dumbo? Who would call their elephant dumbo? That's so sad, and isn't it like animal abuse or something I want an elephant What do elephants even eat? Peanut butter? Humans? What!?! No, why would you even think that
I turn off the tap and hop out. I wrap my towel around myself and turn to the mirror.
I have really nice eyelashes, like look at them, they're so long My face looks like its been lightly dusted with freckles And my eye's, they look so brown and bland at the moment, but just you wait till sunset, damn, they're like pools of honey, golden honey
Every day, I try to point out something positive about myself. For example, it could be my attitude, how I dealt with something or just the way I look. It helps me become more confident and accept myself for the way I am, and I don't need anyone to tell me differently.
I open the door and make my way to my room. I open my closet and search for an appropriate outfit. Since I don't really know what the dress code is, or what a dress code is, for that matter, I decide to go with white jeans, and a green shirt – that has 2 cheetah's on it.

"Hope, brekkie is on the table" dad yells
What? This is so weird. Dad never makes breakfast, we usually just make our own. But I mean, I'm not complaining.
"yes dad, coming" I call back
I walk down the stairs and into the kitchen to see pancakes and bacon.
"yes! I love bacon, thank you dad" I say
"haha, yes well I thought it being your first day at school, I would at least do something special"
"I love you so much, thank you"
"I love you too"
I take that as my queue to sit down and start eating.
"so, are you excited to go to school" dad asked everyone
"not really" Amelia says, unfortunately, I know why, it just saddens me how people could be so cruel
"why not" dad asks
"I don't know" she replies and turns to me, with worried eyes
"don't worry, I got you" I say to her
"thanks"
"no problem"
Amelia and I are going to the same school since I'm a junior and she is a freshman, Daniel is going to primary school, and Jack is going to start college next week, but it's only like 10 minutes away from here, so he's just gonna live here, with us.
I finish my breakfast and go back upstairs to continue getting ready. I go into the bathroom and brush my teeth.
Happy birthday to yo— Why do we have to sing happy birthday 3 times, that's so weird Hang on, is that for brushing your teeth or washing your hands Oh shit, haha, I thought it was for brushing your teeth I'm so dumb So that's why Jack looks at me weird, when I hum the tune to happy birthday while brushing my teeth He should've told me I've been doing it for like 5 years Haha, oh well, its Jack's fault
I spit out the foamy substance that the toothpaste created and rinse my mouth out. As I walk to my room, I see Jack coming up the stairs. I should take this chance to confront him.
"Hey, you should've told me, I've been doing it ever since I can remember"
"what are you talking about?"
"singing happy birthday 3 times, while brushing my teeth"
"haha, finally you noticed" he says in between fits of laughter
"Yeah, well you should've told me"
"I was, but I thought you only did it because you liked that song or something"
"are you serious? Do you know how many times I went to school with that song stuck in my head?" By now, he's lying on the ground holding his stomach from laughing so much
"whatever" I say and walk away, leaving him in pain on the floor
I open my door and step inside. I go over to my mirror, that I had bought with Amelia, quickly put some mascara and lip balm on, and brush my hair. I walk over to my bag and pack 4 books and a water bottle.
Ok so, dressed – check Teeth – check Hair – check Makeup – check Books – check Water bottle – check Ok, I think I'm ready to go
I go downstairs and put my doc martins on.
"Dad, I'm leaving now!" I shout
"ok have a good day, I won't be back till around 5 tonight so could you get some dinner after school"
"yes dad"
"oh and Hope" he appears from around the corner and hands me a 50 dollar note "don't you and Amelia clean up yourselves, get the boys to help you as well"
