That Makes The Two Of Us

Chapter 1

The night preceding the beginning of my high school, the exact thought I had as I drifted off to sleep was----the first day of freshman year will also be like any other day. Honestly, I don't think I've been that wrong about anything else in my life.
************************************
The blaring of the alarm wakes me up from my sleep.
I don't wanna wake up. I wanna sleep. Then I remember what day it is. I switch off my alarm and lie in the bed for another minute or so. Then I stretch my limbs and finally climb off the bed. Groan.

Why the heck do I need to wake up at 6:30 in the morning?Life's not fair.

Here I am, waking up before everybody else in the household on the weekdays, yet nobody lets me sleep peacefully on the weekends as well. I mean like come on! I can at least sleep like the dead on Sunday.

Slowly I go to the washroom and brush my teeth and then I head to take a shower. The hot water really has wondrous effects. If it goes my way, I'll never get out of the shower. Alas! I have to. I quickly finish taking my shower and head back into my room wrapped up in my bathrobe. Now comes the hard part-----dressing up. It's the start of freshman year so I seriously want to look good but on the other hand the lazy part of me screams at me to just throw on the comfiest clothes which I  can find(which apparently consist of my sweatshirts and yoga pants).

Oh god! What a dilemma.

In the end looking good wins after a long mental battle with myself.

Ha! Take that lazy me.

I search through my wardrobe and finally settle on a white off-shoulder crop top and a pair of denim shorts. I let my hair fall to its full length and for shoes I wear my floral sandals.
I'm not such a huge fan of makeup so I only apply a little bit of face powder, eyeliner and my baby pink lipstick.
Lastly I put on a wristwatch that my mom had given me. It had been given to my mom by her grandma and has become sort of a family heirloom. Now that the watch is in my possession, I am supposed to hand it down to the next female member of our family.
I head downstairs to find my mom finishing up with preparing our breakfast.
"Good morning Andrea" she says as she sees me," Please go and wake up that stupid brother of yours, will you?"
"Good morning to you too. I'll go wake up that idiot," I say and wink at my mom.
My brother Andrew is one of the biggest sleepyhead you'll find out there. It's one of his twisted ingrained principle's to always reach school only after the final bell for the first period has gone off. He is always late to his classes. He's in his senior year and lazes around all day. He got his small group all around, consisting of his girlfriend Stella(I don't know how or why she fell for my stupid brother) and his best friends Adam and Shawn. They're all very cool people and quite fun to be with.

I open the door to his room to find him sprawled on the bed with his head buried into the pillow, one of his legs dangling off the mattress and the bedsheets twisted around his body.

Gosh! He's such a child.

I give him a little shove to his shoulder in a very poor attempt to wake him up.
"Hey idiot! Wake up. It's time to go to school."
"Shuddup bavy ewefant," he groans into the pillow," Lemme sleep."

How dare he call me that.

He realizes his mistake a second later.
"Oh shit..."
He is about to roll to the other side of the bed but the sheets tangled up with his body restrict him from doing so. I jump and land of top of him earning a groan and a stream of very colourful  curses that can make your day.
"Why you little---", he groans.
" Don't call me whatever you were about to calm me. Now hurry and get up dumbass. You need to go to this place called school where you have to study. So get your lazy ass off the bed."

I get off him and head downstairs. As I finish my breakfast, he finally comes down.

I am about to leave the house when I find my brother studying me. All of a sudden, he scoops up a little bit of Nutella in a spoon and aims it directly for my top. I stare at my top in horror as the Nutella sticks to it and starts sliding down the material, undoubtedly ruining my top.

"WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL," I scream.

He says,"Go and wear something proper that shows less skin, baby elephant."

Great. Now he's being an overprotective big brother.

"LISTEN HERE YOU IDIOT. YOU ARE TELLING ME TO WEAR SUBTLE CLOTHES WHILE YOU YOURSELF 'BANGED HOT CHICKS' WHO PRACTICALLY RUN AROUND HALF NAKED ALL THE TIME. DO YOU WANT ME TO TELL STELLA THAT ALL THOSE LATE NIGHT DATE PLANS WITH HER THAT YOU HAD CANCELLED WAS BECAUSE YOU AND YOUR BEST FRIENDS NEEDED TO HAVE YOUR 'BRO TIME' BY WATCHING PORN?"

He looks at me shocked and I can read the conflict in his eyes.

"Fine. Wear whatever you want. Just don't tell Stella any of that."

"You're going to buy me a new crop top as a replacement. This one was one of my favorites." Saying this I head back to my room. Once again I'm faced with the biggest problem of my life ----what to wear?
Ugh. All of this because of that stupid brother.
I look at my watch and see it's already 7:15 am. My bus will be here in five  minutes. I quickly strip out of my ruined attire and throw on a cute yellow cropped hoodie with Pikachú on it, a pair of yoga pants and white sneakers. I hurriedly tie my hair in a ponytail and rush down the stairs to exit the house but not before sending my brother a death glare.

So much for looking good. Guess I'll have to do it some other time then.

I run to the bus stop to find my bus waiting there. I board it and sit on a  seat in the third row by the window. It takes 20 minutes to go to school from my place. The cool air soothes me as I take out my copy of Twilight:Breaking Dawn. It's not like I love the book or anything. Twilight seriously doesn't make any sense to me. Bella is a complete idiot, Edward is also an idiot and Jacob is simply annoying. Honestly, I'm reading this book because I just want to find out where their stupidity will lead them to. To start with, I'm a pure bookworm. You can find me sticking my nose into a novel almost any time I'm free and all alone. So I feel really bad to keep a book unfinished. That's why I'm nearing with this disaster named Twilight.

I'm at the part where Bella wakes up as a vampire when we reach school. I check my phone and see several texts from my friend Alissa.

Alissa:Where are you?

Alissa:When will you reach?

Alissa:Me and Phoebe will be waiting by your locker. Hurry hurry.

I shake my head and smile at her childish behavior as I head towards my school, Riverwood High's main gate. Freshman year------here I come.
