Love is stupid, right?

first day of senior year (part 1)

****BEEP***BEEP***BEEP****

"Ohh God," I moaned as I struggled to reach my annoying alarm clock. Today is the first day of my senior year and I'm not excited at all. Don't get me wrong. I love school and I also love the people, it's just that I hate mornings and wish they would just magically disappear. I slowly dragged my feet to my bathroom. I guess I should thank whomever thought of connecting bathrooms and bedrooms because right now I'm so grateful four steps is all it takes.

As I started getting ready for school, I thought the simple look would be best seeing as I have no one to impress, but myself. Not wanting to look like a straight up hobo, I skipped my beloved sweatpants and slipped on a beige skirt and some matching ballerina flats. Clothes flew from my closet as I looked for my favorite polka dot bottom-up shirt. After a few minutes of looking, I was on the verge of quitting. Shit, I can't find it. I know i saw them the other day. Do my clothes have powers or something because I swear they always find a way to disappear. Wait a minute........... 

"MOM?!?!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. "WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY POLKA DOT SHIRT?!?!" I impatiently waited for her answer. We wore the exact same size so I should have known right away it was her who helped my precious baby escape my love.

"DO YOU NEED IT?!?!" she asked.

"WHY WOULD I BE ASKING FOR IT AT SEVEN THIRTY IN THE MORNING IF I DIDN'T NEED IT?!?!" I replied. 

I heard the door open and my mother stood with her blond hair perfectly straight as always, but who's complaining; I have the exact color, but mine is a bit lighter.  She handed me the shirt and left after warning me that if I don't get breakfast before I leave there will be consquences. She threatens me because I had a habit of missing meals when I was younger and was bullied on. My parents hated seeing me starve myself to be ''pretty" and finally told me I was perfect the way I am. 

I walked to the bathroom again and looked in the mirror. I have no idea why I was so self-conscious about my looks; I mean look at me. I am 5'8. I have perfect straight blonde hair, baby blue eyes,  beautiful golden skin, and a body to die for. I quickly applied some make-up and made my way downstairs. 

I live in a two story house about 10 minutes away from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. My neighborhood is a more wealthier neighborhood, you could say. Recently my next door neighbors, the Callihans, moved a little over three months ago because of new job opportunities. The house was just bought by a family and I overheard my parents saying that they are old friends so I'm not worried anymore. At first I was worried because you know murders! Because guess who their first victim would be, yeah I bet it would be me. They always go for the girls first, like really? You sexist murders! You can all suck monkey's balls! 

"haha," I laughed as I remembered Dexter's dog from "This Lullaby," by Sarah Dessen. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bright green apple from the table. Just as I was about to take a bite, Justin, a.k.a my older and immature brother, snatched it from me. I wonder want he's doing home from college anyway; maybe he flucked out already, won't surprise me. Justin is too worried about his looks and girls to even think about school. 

"Justin!" I growled as I glared at him. 

"Hey there sis, long time no see." Justin said grinning like he won the lottery. He knows the bright green apples are for me and me only. 

"I think you have a dealth wish or something, because you are really asking for it." I can't believe he took the last apple. Now i have to leave early and grab something on the way. I looked around and saw my parents purposely not looking at the scene before them because if they did they know they would have to take my side. You know with me being the perfect little angel I am and all. 

"Daddy?" I said in the most innocent voice ever. "Can I have some money to go get breakfast?" He took one look at me from over the top on his newspaper and he couldn't say no. "Sure sweetie," he said with softened eyes, while handing me a twenty. I quickly kissed him on the head and said good-bye. I could hear Justin in the backround complaining because they give him no money. Well sucks being the older one doesn't it. I smirked. 

"Well hello there gorgeous, you are looking mighty fine this morning," I told my pitch black mustang. I got her for my 16th birthday and we've had a great relationship since. 

I got in and turned up my radio when I heard Sleeping with Sirens. Kellin Quinn is the love of my life and i swear I will find a way to be with him. 

Finally after driving for a while, I decided to buy coffee because i was going to need the extra kick today. Getting my phone out my bag, I dialed my best friend Jackie's number. In less than two rings, she answered.

"HEY ASH-ASH!" she screamed through the phone. 

"HEY JACK-JACK!" I said giggling. God, I've missed her over the summer; she was on a mission trip in Africa. That's nice and all, but she left me! "I just wanted to know if you wanted anything from Starbucks"

"Wait, you didn't have your green apple? omg, someone is going to die today," Jackie said dramatically.

"No, Jus was being a meaner and took my last one!" I said sourly.

"Justin's back in town? Now I have to go to your house soon!" Jackie has always had a crush on my brother and never stops telling me he is "smoking hot." She paractically lived at my house last year. The only bad thing is when she flirts with him, he has the nerve to flirt back with MY best friend! 

"yeah yeah yeah, so do you want anything form Starbucks or not because I am pulling up now." I said. She replied telling me to get her usual. There was a spot open a few cars down so I made my way down the row and then out of nowhere a white Ford raptor speeds up and parks in my spot. "AHHHHH!!!!!" I screamed. The truck was about a centimetre from hitting the front of my baby. My heart is racing because of my almost accident in the parking lot. I move my car to the next spot and park. I can hear Jackie loudly asking me what happened through the phone. "I almost got into a wreck because some asshole wanted to steal my spot!" I was fuming. "Are you okay?" I can tell she was panicing like she does on a normal basis. "Yes, it's find I  will see you soon." I said before ending the call. 

I got out of my mustang and walked into the coffee place, but not before throwing some death glares at that stupid Ford. It actually looks pretty familiar like I've seen it before, but I throw that out of my head and order my coffee. Today is going to be the death of me.
