FINAL DAYS

CHAPTER 1

ISABELLA'S PIC

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

OMG!!!!First day in high school. I was rather scared than excited. Hi , let me introduce myself first. My name is Isabella Courtney. I'm 15 and I just moved in to Lakeville Street after my parent's divorce. My parents never lived together since I was 9 and my sister, Sarah Courtney, was 5. And now, they finally got their divorce .

Soon after that, my mom sold the house and now we moved in to a double- storey house that is just big enough for my mom, Stella Courtney, 41 years old , me , my sister and my 3 months old golden retriever, Honey. Our house has 4 rooms , one for each of us.

     Ever since my parents separated, our family is not in a stable condition. My mom works as a teacher in a kindergarten and her salary is not really enough for all of us. So , I had to get a job to help my mom . And now I'm currently working in Pizza Hut.

Well, let me come back to what I was saying. And yea, my school's starting tomorrow and I am really nervous because I am a real nerd. I was the class topper in my previous school and score the highest in everything, including moral, arts and the not-so-important-subjects.

I was always bullied in my previous school and I am really sure It's going to be the same here. Well, tomorrow's my first day and my mom and my sister are more excited than I can ever be.

"Bell! Have you got your bags and cloths ready for tomorrow?"mom yelled from downstairs. "Mom, there is twelve hours and thirty minutes left for school and that means I'm doing it later. " Mom had asked the same thing like twenty  times till now and I'm pretty sure she's waiting for me to get annoyed so that I'll do it fast. I was lazing around in my room thinking of what to do until my mom called me downstairs to have dinner. I sprinted to the dining room as I was famished.

There was lasagne for dinner. My tummy started rumbling more as I saw mom taking the lasagne out from the oven. The smell of the hot , smoky lasagne made my mouth water. Mom placed the lasagne gently on the table and went to grab a bottle of chilled coke from the fridge. I grabbed my plate, fork, knife and spoon. Mom gently cut the lasagne and she served me first and poured me a glass of coke. I immediately starting eating while savouring each and every bite of that treat. It was so good. I finished half of the lasagne and ended up with a bloated stomach that is ready to burst anytime. I drank some coke to make me feel better. Anyway I didn't regret eating this much because it was all worth it.

I switched on the TV and checked to see whether any of my favourite show is there or not. Unfortunately, no . So I decided to watch Conjuring instead . I switched o the air conditioner, grabbed some popcorn and took my pillows and sat in my comforter. Mom and Sarah was comforted themselves on the sofa. I switched of all the lights and grabbed a bottle of coke on the way back to my comforter.

My sister was closing her eyes like until ten minutes before the movie finished. I kept scaring her throughout the whole movie. Her terrified face always makes me burst into laughters."Bell , stop it or she's going to have nightmares tonight." "Fine", I replied trying my best to stop laughing.

Whenever Sarah watches a horror movie , no matter in the day or night, she'll end up having a nightmare and waking everyone up to sleep with her. "Puhleaase, you're 11 already, be matured bruhh. When I was your age, I use to scare everyone else."I told her off. "Mom , ask Bell to keep quiet!" she replied trying not to cry. "Why do you have to ask mom to tell me, scared of me uh?"I fought back.

"Shut up, prick!"she yelled at me. " Oh please, I'm not a mirror" I retorted and she started crying. "Enough! Both of you go to your rooms and sleep,Now!"mom rebuked after losing her patience. "Whatever, I know you're always on her side",Sarah retorted before storming off to her room. "You're grounded this whole week Sarah, one more word and it's going to be a month", mom replied calmly. I stifled a giggle and winked at Sarah before getting in my room and shutting the door.

All the drama made me forget about my nervousness about tomorrow. As soon as I got on the bed , I went into a deep sleep. Darkness everywhere. "Where am I? How did I get here? Where am I falling into? Help! Anyone?! Help!!!!" I woke up , sweat drenched all over my body. 'That was a horrible dream' I thought to myself. I couldn't sleep. I grabbed my phone to check the time -2.08 a.m. I scrolled through facebook and realised how lifeless I am.

Looking at everyone's selfies made me ask myself what the hell was I doing all my holidays. 'Hmmm, everyone around me is having a better life than me. Everyone around me is enjoying their life. ' I thought to myself and sighed. As I had nothing better to do, I went on Wattpad and continued reading my book. I went on reading and reading until I fell asleep. 'RRRRRIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGG!!!!' My alarm bell screeched which made me jump from my bed. "Ugh, stupid you."I scowled at my alarm.

I unlocked my door and went to brush. Right after brushing I had my shower and wore a pair of loose pants and a black tank top. I quickly got dressed and arranged my stuff to school. I grabbed my bag and headed downstairs to have breakfast. There was egg sandwich, orange juice and mix berry yoghurt. I over ate as usual. And I packed myself some of the breakfast for school and bid a goodbye to my mom before I left to board the bus.
