Once Upon a Dream

Chapter 2

The next morning, Morticia's alarm woke her up at 6 o'clock on the dot. Groaning, she rolled over and squinted at the room around her. 

'I'm still here. Damn, I hoped it may have been a really weird dream.' She thought as she began to blush her blonde hair and get dressed. She decided t be more dramatic with her makeup. Using a dark grey and black shadow she defined the crease of her eye and put a shimmery white shade on her lid. To top it all off she added singed liner, lashes, and red lipstick.

Normally she wouldn't go for a red lip, but with all the dark colors, she thought it best to add a pop of color.  Her makeup definitely copied angelica Houston's Morticia Addams but who cared?

She could already hear Caleb and Tony downstairs. Tony was sitting at the table, dressed up in his cop gear a Caleb was wearing a tee-shirt and light wash jeans, eating a bowl of cereal. 

"Morning everyone," She said as she made her way over to the coffee machine to make herself a cup. 

"Morning, Tish, sleep well?" Tony asked as she sat down at the table.

"Uh yeah, actually. I don't think I dreamed at all." She said, surprised. It had been the first night since she'd been here that she hadn't heard that weird voice in her dream. Maybe that was a sign that today was going to be a good day.

"That's good, it means you'll be well-rested for school. Hey, you need to eat something or else you won't make it to lunch. Oh by the way here's some lunch money." He handed her a ten-dollar bill, "If there's change just use it in the vending machines or save it. I know school food kinda sucks." 

She nodded her thanks and took the cereal from in front of Caleb and began making herself a bowl. Tony wasn't wrong, school food sucked when she was in high school, but that was before the government implemented all its changes so she was hopeful. It wasn't long before she and Caleb grabbed their backpacks and headed out to her car. She decided to grab a gray cardigan as it was very cold out for an August morning. 

"Hey, Morticia, do you care to pick up Caleb after school? With my new schedule, I'm gonna be working some long hours and I don't wanna make him wait." Tony asked as he walked over to his cruiser.

"Of course, I don't mind at all," Morticia assured him as she opened the driver's side door.

As she started up the beautiful car, she turned towards Caleb, "Alright, I hope you're great at giving directions because I have no idea where I'm taking you or myself."

"You're lucky the high school is like right next to the middle school," Caleb said laughing.

"Alright giggles, let's get outta here." She said and then they were off.

It wasn't more than a fifteen-minute drive to the schools so they had plenty of time. As they neared the parking lot, Morticia turned towards her cousin, "You want me to drop you off in front of the middle school, or do you want me to park at the high school and you just walk?" 

"You can just park at the High school. I know it's gonna be crazy to get a good spot." He said and he definitely wasn't wrong. With more than half an hour before the first bell, the parking lot was already packed. 

Morticia finally found a spot beside a dark van which she immediately knew was Tylers, which was surrounded by a group of teenagers. As soon as she killed the ignition all eyes were on her and her car, some were even still staring after she and Caleb got out.

"Nice ride Wednesday." A snotty girl standing next to the van said to her.

"It's Morticia actually, and thank you," Morticia replied with a sarcastic smile. She knew how to beat bitchy girls at their own game, and fucking win.
