Chapter 1- Last day of summer

Rose:

Today is my last day of summer. It's 11 am and I am still in bed, my parents are out shopping for stationary for my little sister, it's her first year, and she is so excited(she'll regret it).

I finally decide to get up after half an hour; I should get ready for tomorrow. I get dressed in black leggings and a grey tank top, I put my long hair in a ponytail not bothering to brush it, and I get out. I start running through the park, through the streets then I start walking. I have walked a long way because when I looked at the time, it's 1:25 so I decide to walk an extra ten minutes and then run back home. Now you might think I am fit and sporty, but I only do it to clear my mind and put the negative away, well that's what Chloe tells me anyways.

I take the bus half way, and I am home by 2. I rest for a bit (if half an hour counts as a bit) then I get in the shower. I get out, get dressed in a comfortable shirt and jeans and go on my phone while I eat breakfast (which is so late). I check out Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest (I am not popular I just stalk people).

By the time I am done, my parents come in with three full bags. "Hey, Rose we got you your stationary" mom says grinning "and some cute tops too," I smile "thanks, mom." I take the bags out of her hand and carry my one to my room. I open the clothing one, and I smile and mutter"not a bad choice mum" I then look at the books and sigh, why do we have to have so many books. I follow Avery to her room, and she is preparing her books and colourful pens "look what I got Rose" she says with an excited smile, and I smile back "The pens are cute, which one is your favourite?" and she points to the baby blue one "of course this one, it's my favourite colour silly". I return to my room and go on my laptop and lay on my bed and I know I'll lay there for hours watching youtube videos.

My laptop had died and when I saw the clock it was 4. Mom calls me to eat lunch (which is also pretty late), and I get up. Lunch was surprisingly nice, I finish and clear the table. I go back to my room and get my clothes and bag ready for tomorrow. I grab a snack and sit on my window seat while listening to music. It's 8 and its sunset time, I watch the light drain out of the sky, and the buildings darken, I'm lucky I live on the hill; then I get this beautiful view. Although I can't see the sunset (since it's on the other side), but I get to see the sunrise instead (which I rarely do since I hardly wake up early). I close my eyes and allow the music and the darkness to take me away.

Theo:

Today is my last day of summer. I woke up at 8 went to the gym and had a shower. I ate breakfast and left to meet my friends. It's 12 right now and were having fun playing basketball in my friend's pool while music is blasted in the background. We are having good fun for our last day. I am pretty pumped for tomorrow but also don't want summer to end.

It's four right now, and I am walking home. I am excited for this year because, after this year, I'll be one year away from graduating. You might think I'm some nerd, but I am not, I just want to go to college and get a good future job, and also to get away from my family; not that I'm disrespectful, the flaw is not in me but my family. My house is the same as I left it but probably worse. My dad and James are having a conversation as usual, and my mom is very occupied with Anna they hardly notice I'm home.

"Hi" I attempt to sound cheerful, "Go clean your room, and wash the dishes" dad demands. Now this is something no one knows about me, but my family is torn. All my dad cares about is James "I am so proud of you" Dad always reminds James of how good he is even when he hasn't tried enough"You've worked hard enough let Theo do the rest". I am the one with the part time job, and I am the one who tries but never is rewarded. Mom is always busy with Anna and most times she'll be drunk or crying and yelling at dad of how irresponsible he is. My family can't get any worse. When I'm old, enough I am leaving this mess behind.

Well, I go to my bedroom and do my chores and after a short nap, I get out again and go for a walk(I try to stay out of the house as much as possible). I come home at about 7, and I make myself dinner, I get my stuff ready for tomorrow. I lay down and listen to music and slowly drift off to sleep. I wake up after a couple of hours and realize it's 10. I turn my music off and leave my phone on the table and drift back to sleep.
