"I don't wanna wake up, up, up, up, up
Don't wanna wake up
Don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up, up, up, up, up
Don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up
Don't wanna wake up"I woke up to the sound of music blaring in my ears. Where was I? Did I fall asleep at a club? Why didn't anybody take me home? Holy shit my dad's going to kill me today. Wait..but I'm in a bed, and covered in a blanket. Okay calm down Mckenzie, I got up slowly...then my brains came back. Fuck! I slept with my headsets on, a song by Capital Kings was playing. And boy did it fit my mood - I did NOT wanna wake up. Not now anyways.
I switched off my music and made my way over my desk where my charger was connected and charged my phone. It was six thirty now, which means I have thirty minutes to get ready for school. I went in my bathroom for a quick shower, not bothering to make my bed - as always. Brushed my teeth and came back to my bedroom, it was now six thirty seven. One thing I love about myself is I don't bother to dress up nicely like most of my peers, I wear anything I find first from my closet - which is full of denim shorts and sweatpants and embroidery t.shirts and hoodies. And lots of sneakers.
I took my backpack and made my way downstairs where I found my mom and dad having breakfast by the kitchen island. "Sup Folks!" I greeted taking a seat next to my dad who was glued doing his morning routine - reading the newspaper. "Mckenzie Dakota Henry!" My mother says after gaping at me. I chuckled, "come on Mom you should be used to it by now, I mean dad's already used to it. Right dad?". He nodded slightly, then put his newspaper down. That was our cue to leave the house, he gave Mom a small peck on the cheek and I shouted "bye Folk" before running out the door. Ha!
My father, Dantè Henry, runs a number one rated law firm here in Downtown Los Angeles. Henry and Partners. My mother, Liesl Henry, owns and runs a magazine. House and Leisure. It's all about decor that's wild at heart, bold homes and indoor plants and so on. You may have thought I was an only child by now, boy was I not! There were 3 of us, I came after twin boys - Ethan and Aiden Henry. 18 years. Both attending University of California Los Angeles with Ethan majoring in Engineering and Aiden in Law. I'm 17 in case you wondered.
"Have a good day Queen of bad choices" my dad said as I was making my way out of the car. Huh!?! I looked at him puzzled, he then pointed at my t.shirt, 'queen of bad choices' is embroided on it, I laughed so hard. "Peace out!" I said and shut the door as he was giggling while driving out of the school grounds. I walked towards the school entrance, students passing each other in the corridors, filling each other out on their Summer break events.
Belmont High School was a cool school. And being an A-student made my life even easier, I never had to worry about my grades dropping or anything like that, because I am a hard-working student and the thought of disappointing my parents gives me diarrhea. Like any other school, there were different cliques here. Freaks with freaks, douchebags with the rest, bitches with the rest, nerds with the rest.
Then there was me. The "girl" who hung out with boys and played basketball with them- yes I'm tall like that. I'm a 5'5" with green eyes, from my dad. After I dyed my hair blonde, I had a pixie haircut, my hair was shorter at the back and a bit longer on top. It's always messy because I ruffle it alot.
