YOU BET I WILl

Am I Living?

16th December 2015

Nadine's POV

" RING...RING...RING "

I was awoken by the sound of my alarm clock "Oh great I had a really awesome dream. My life was different, more fun, more adventurous and more liveable."

"Nadine" I snapped out of my thoughts when my maid called to me.

"It's time to get up and get ready for school. It's the last day today."

"Nan 5 minutes more please, I had an amazing dream so I would love to get back to it" I whined.

"Nadya you should get up before your mum comes up here. She's might be already downstairs eating breakfast waiting for you"

Oh Shit. I stood up really quickly and ran into the bathroom.

(10 Minutes later)

I ran down the stairs really fast as possible and suddenly... "BAM" I fell.

"I'm okay," I said as I stood up making my way to the dining room.

As I was just about to enter the dining room, I peaked first to check if mum was there already or not. My mum has this rule about breakfast, lunch, and dinner and that is I should never be late...like ever or there would be consequences.

There was no one inside just the food on the table. I went in quickly and sat down and waited for my mum. I didn't wait long because she appeared seconds after I sat down. Phew..that was close.

She came in without a word and sat down. It's always like this every day. We would sit down ate breakfast quietly for about 10 minutes then she would ask me just one thing. "How's school?" And I would reply fine and that's it. That's why I can't wait to get out of here because I feel so suffocated.

It would be my 18th birthday soon and I can't wait to ask my mum for just one birthday present and that is to go on a vacation to Paris where my cousin is for my birthday which is on the 18th of December..the day after tomorrow. A week before Christmas.

"Mum... I have a favor... It's my 18th birthday soon and...."

RING... RING... RING. Her phone rang.

"Hello," she answered. "I'm on my way"

"We'll talk later sweety," she said as she stood up and left the room.

"That's what you say all the time"

AT SCHOOL

"Hey Nadz" my so-called friend Stacy called out to me as I got out of my car.

"Hey, Stacy... What's up?"

"Jake just broke up with Lilly just for you. He's like totally Cray Cray but he's hot. Are you gonna go out with him?"

Blah blah blah is all I could hear. The thing is my life in high school or in general is perfect at least that's what everyone thinks it is but it's not. What's so great about fake friends, designer clothes, popularity, A+ grades, etc. when I'm not even happy. People say I have it all and that I'm lucky. They have no idea what I'm going through. I may not go through difficulties physically but mentally I am. Even though I'm surrounded by a lot of people but I'm still alone. I don't even know who I am.

Snap Snap Stacy snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Hello..Are you even listening??"

"Yeah... About Jake and for the 1000 times I told you... I don't like him he's a dick"

"But a hot dick"
