*ASHLEY POV*

Beep Beep

I slam my hand down on alarm clock. I roll over to see the time. 7am. I roll back over and groan. I step out of bed and open the closet door. I grab my pink denim skirt and white short sleeve blouse along with some white converse and throw them on my bed. I grab a brush from my vanity and grab a towel from my closet. I step into my bathroom and turn in the water to the shower. I stare at myself in the mirror. It's the first day Ashley be happy. I undress from my pajamas and step into the shower and shampoo and condition my hair with purple shampoo. I then grab my Japanese cherry blossom scented bath wash and scrub myself from head to toe. I turn off the water and sigh. I step out of the shower and wrap myself in a towel. I open the door to see my mother standing at doorway. I stand there standing staring at her with her doing the same.

"My little college girl!!" she says running up to me giving me a big hug.

"Good morning to you too mom." I say stepping out of the hug to face my mom.

"Awww come on honey, it's a big day. I have my first college kid!"

"Mom. I'm just suffering with 4 more years of useless education." I respond as I roll my eyes walking over to sit on my bed.

"Come one my little girl. It's a big day!" She says walking out of my room closing the door behind her.

I sigh. My parents don't understand what I want. I dry off and put on a white bralette along with matching panties. I grab my skirt and blouse and put that on. I walk back into the bathroom and blow dry my hair then curl it with a curling iron. I walk out of the bathroom to the kitchen and look to see all my luggage and belongings taunting me. I take a seat at the kitchen table and take a sip of my iced coffee. I look up at my mom and sister who are staring at me like I've grown three heads.

"What?" I ask

"Oh nothing sweetie." my mom says "You're growing up."

I roll my eyes at the comment.

"I'm getting Ashley's room as soon as she leaves." my sister Sabrina chimes in.

I heard at her. "Be lucky I'm not about to rip out your red hair."

" Ashley that was very nice. Apologize now please. " my mom says

"Fine." I roll my eyes. " I'm sorry. Your still not getting my room. There is nothing wrong with your room."

My sister Sabrina is the only red head in the family because of a genetic mutation so she's the so called 'special one.'

"Good morning my girls!" my dad comes chiming in walking into the kitchen.

"Good morning." my mom and sister say.

"Last morning of being under the same roof as all of you until winter break." I said sarcastically.

Everyone falls quiet staring at me while I sit at the table looking out the window. Great job Ashley, keep you mouth shut till tonight.
