5 minutes

Chapter 1

   Time to start another day in the hell hole called highschool, but first I have to go through the hell hole I call ‘home'. With all the willpower a 16 year old girl could have at 7 o'clock in the morning I get out of bed and get ready. After about 20 minutes I'm ready.
  
    On my way down the stairs, I see Rose our maid and the only true mother figure in my life.

“Good morning Dakota, your parents are ‘waiting for you in the dining area to begin breakfast’ in your mothers words"

I crack a smile knowing that sounds like something my mother would say,

“Good morning and thank you Rose, is my brother there with them?"
“No your brother is still asleep”
“Ok thank you by the way I may not be home till 5 judging by the time I will be late to get Hailey and I will probably have to take her shopping after school to ‘appease’ her"
  
   She nods and leaves while I continue down the stairs. I get to the door of the dining room and take deep breaths to prepare myself for who I'm about to face behind the door. After a mini pep talk I open the door and go in.

“Good morning father, good morning mother"
“Good morning Dakota, you may sit" my mother says while my father stares at nothing.
“Yes mother"
“Couldn't you make more of an effort to dress up, you have nicer clothes so why you wear such dreadful clothes on a daily bases is beyond me no daughter of mine should dress in sweatshirts and joggers its simply preposterous can't you just make an effort to look beautiful once in a while" and the award for best mother of the year goes to Mary Stevens.
“Mary please don't start again its too early for all this, she hasn't even finished her breakfast so just stop, honey if you are comfortable wearing what you are wearing then its fine you look beautiful in anything you wear"
  
   My dad, the only one that acts like a real parent while my mother looks for every single imperfection she can find in her children and uses it to criticize us till she gets things done the ‘right way’ also know as her way.

   I quickly finish my food so i can leave as soon as possible.

“John will take you to school but when you get back we will pick clothes out for you for tomorrow I can't let my daughter be seen in such mediocre clothes anymore and during the weekend we will go to the gym, you are getting fat again"
“Yes mother thank you, goodbye father" I stand up
“Bye honey see you in the afternoon have a great day" my dad tells me smiling
 
  I pick up my school bag and leave quickly before she finds something else she doesn't like. I'm out the door in record time and met by John holding the car door open for me.

“Straight to school or to madam Hailey's house first"
“Hailey's house first and please let's hurry thank you"

   He closes the door and rounds the car to the drivers seat where he starts the car and we are off. Within five minutes we are in front of Hailey's house its not as big as mine but it still looks like a home. She storms out looking extremely pissed, a look I know all too well. John opens the door for her and she gets in the turns and looks at me.

“Yeah its not like we have to get to school early or anything"
   Here we go again , yayyyy!
