I hurriedly walked out of the shopping centre. It took me another hour to find everything else I needed. I decided on buy these really nice white-silver high heels. I also decided to just go with a natural look but I'll probably add some blush or something. I couldn't find any jewelry but that shouldn't really matter that much.

I climbed out of my red Holden Astra and walked inside. I noticed my mum sitting down on the couch. I silently tiptoed past her so I can get to the kitchen without being lectured by her first. "Where do you think you're going, missy?" My mum stated in her motherly tone.

Oh, oh. "Nowhere." I replied in a she's-obviously-lying tone.

"You took 4 hours at that shopping Centre! Do you know how worried I was! You better have bought something worth 4 hours! Your dinner was ready 1 hour ago! I gave it to the dog because it was freezing cold! You know that the microwave isn't working at the moment! I thought you would've been two hours max! Not four hours!"She yelled and yelled.

"I'm sorry, Mum!" I replied, "I couldn't find anything!"

"Well did you end up finding anything?" Her tone calmed down but was still extremely angry.

"Yes I did, actually." I said smugly.

" Come on, show me!" Her voice sounded excited now...

I placed my 2 bags that contained my shoes and dress onto the little coffee table that was in front of my mum. Before I had the chance to take the dress out of the bag to show her, she took it out, looked at it. And gasped. "It's gorgeous!" She gushed.

I just smiled and nodded my head. She carefully refolded the dress and placed it back in the bag. "Oooo cute!" She screeched when she saw the heels.

"CHLOE! WAKE UP! YOU START WORK EARLY!" My mum yelled.

Arghh. Just great. The one morning I wanted to sleep in... "I'm awake!" I mumbled still half asleep.

"Then get up!" She added.

"Fine.." I grumbled then dragged myself out of bed.

I slowly walked into my bathroom and washed my face. That coldness defiantly woke me up...

I stomped into the kitchen to make some breakfast. I looked around the cupboard and found that we only have bread.... I chucked two pieces of bread into the toaster, got out a plate, knife, butter and some strawberry jam; all ready for when the toast is ready. "DING!" Looks like the toast is ready. I reached out my hand and pulled up the toast out of the toaster. I gently spread the butter onto the toast and then I spread the jam. I grabbed the knife and carefully cut the toast in half.

"Morning." I grumbled as I walked into the dining room with my toast.

"Good morning, sweetheart. How'd you sleep?" Mum replied.

"Ok I guess... I could've slept a bit more." I chuckled.

"Haha, eat your brekky darling." She added.

I'm 17 years old and she still calls me "sweetheart" and "darling".

I sat down on one of the chairs. I carefully picked up one half of the toast and started to eat it.

"Brummm." Is the noise my car always makes when it's started. I am currently on my way to work. It's 6:00am and I start at 6:30am. Its not that early but I'm used to starting at 7:30 or 8:00.

I parked my car and walked over to the front desk. "Hey, Carol." I told the receptionist.

"Hi, Chloe. Right this way." She replied and led me to my new office.
