Something About You.

One

I got out of bed after hearing banging coming from outside of my bedroom room.  

"I'm up, Mom. Calm down" I yelled through the door, and the banging stopped.

After I got out of the shower, I got dressed in a pink dip hem midi skirt and a black long sleeve crop tee, I put on my black gladiator sandals, grabbed my backpack and walked out of my bedroom. I walked into the kitchen, where my mother was eating her plain pancakes. I sat down at the table and piled my plate with pancakes, I topped them with strawberries, bananas, whipped cream, syrup & butter. My mother's eyes widened when she saw my plate, "Nelly, you really shouldn't eat all of that." I sighed and turned to her, "Mom, I like my pancakes like this, and I always have. I still can't believe you can eat plain, dry pancakes," I giggled picking up my fork.  

"Well if you want to turn into your Aunt Janice, be my guest." 

Let me be honest here, my aunt really wasn't the thinnest person I knew but, did my mom really have to be that rude? 

"Mom, why do you do that? You talk about your sister like she's worthless... You've always told me never to do that & I never ever do, but you're always doing it to her..."  

She sighed and shook her head.  

Moments later she answered me, "Nelly, of you really knew Janice, you wouldn't be the nicest person to her either."  

"Mother. I know Aunt Janice, and she's very pleasant. I mean sure, she's nothing like us, but there's not reason to be rude."

She wiped her mouth and got up putting her plate in the sink, "I have to go, I have meeting early today. Be safe in that death trap."  

My car.  

"You drive a death trap, too. Remember that."

After finishing my pancakes and getting my phone, I went out to my white, Honda Civic SI.

When I got to school I met up with Skylar, my closest friend. We both walked to our lockers, but on the way I bumped into someone, I looked up and saw a guy I had never seen around school before, "Sorry," apologized. He only rolled his eyes and kept walking.

"Who was that?" Skylar asked.

I shrugged and just kept walking. After getting all of our things we rushed into first period where we sat together. Art class. We all continued to work on our collage projects for about 10 minutes until someone walked through the door. The guy that I bumped into.

Mrs. Dran turned towards him and spoke up, "Hello, can I help you?"

"This is my first period, I'm new here." He responded.

"What is your name?'

"Blake, Blake Carson"

"Ah, yes. Mr. Carson, come sit down and take a sheet of sketch paper and free draw for today, tomorrow we will be starting a new project. You can sit next to Mrs. Andrews"

I looked up from my collage and smiled at him, "Right here." I said.

Skylar and I sat at a table that sat 3 people, but it was just the two of us sitting there... not anymore.

He came toward me and sat down.

"I'm really sorry about his morning, I wasn't looking where I was going" I said looking at Blake.

He kept his eyes on his paper, as he said, "Okay"

I talked to Skylar for a bit, while working on my project until I got bored and just kept quite and worked until the warning bell. I turned towards Blake's paper and it had a "sketch" of an angel that was shaded in. I was shocked at how fast he drew that, especially since he was only in the class for about 30 minutes. If I would've drawn that it would have taken me about an hour.
