Syreni's P.O.V.
I quietly slipped in the front door, kicking off my shoes off and just leaving them on the floor. After a quick glance around the living room, I concluded it was safe enough for me to sneak upstairs. Oh, who am I kidding? My parents probably didn't even know I was gone and if they did they didn't care. I ran up the stairs, making no effort to be quiet. My bedroom was at the end of the hallway. The plain old door had a sign that Syreni in fancy letters on it from when I was younger. I used to love my name it made me feel special. Now, I just hate it. I mean mermaid, MERMAID. Who names their child mermaid? My parents obviously.
I opened the door and entered my room, which was white everywhere. I have nothing against other colors, but the color white just calmed me for some reason. My full size bed was in the corner with a white comforter and teal fuzzy throw blanket, which was one of the only colorful things in my room. Next to my bed I had a nightstand with a white lamp on it. I had four bookshelves filled with books. Let's just say I love reading. Pushed up against a wall was my desk with only had a picture of me and my siblings on it. Did I forget to mention I'm a triplet. Sorry not sorry.
I have two brothers and technically they are identical twins and I'm just by myself. Loner. I have a terrible sense of humor. Anyways I just turned 14 and I am in 8th grade. People say I look like I am in 6th grade because of how small I am. I don't really take that offensively. I mean I am small for my age. I'm only 5'3 and 90 pounds. Ya, like I said small. Anyways I take after my mom for my build. I take after my dad for my hair. I have wavy burgundy hair that flows to my mid back. I like it a lot and always get compliments on it.
I not really one of those people who fits in anywhere. I am kind of popular but not as much as Leo (my bro). I have lots of fake friends who don't really want to be my fiend they just pretend to. It's alright though. I don't really mind. I know who is really there for me and that is all that matters. I tend to bite my nails a lot when I get nervous, which is a lot.
Well back to real time. It's 4 am and I am staring at my ceiling. I roll over an decide sleep is no longer an option for me. I stumble into the bathroom and slip into the shower. I let the hot water consume me alive. "Syreni?" Came a voice for the other side of the door. "Hmmm" I mumbled in response. Why can't people let me shower in peace?
"Why are you showering at 4 am?" They said. I rolled my eyes but they couldn't see that. I still hadn't figured out who the voice belonged to but my money was on Ericius (my other bro). "Just go away." Was all I responded. No sounds followed so I assumed whoever it was finally decided to go away.
Turning off the hot water I sighed as the cold air came in contact with my skin. I pulled a towel around my body and walked back out into my room. Digging through my closet I finally found what I wanted to wear. The same thing I wear everyday, a leather jacket, jeans and a solid color shirt. I don't like change. As one of my friends puts it I am afraid of change. I wouldn't say I'm afraid of change, its just when things are always the same way it just makes life easier. And I know I sound like I'm afraid of change but I AM NOT.
After I got dressed I made my way back over to the bathroom to finish getting ready. It was only 5 am by now. Ehh, time for people to wake up. I turned on my blow dryer and began to dry my endless amount of long thick hair. It ended up taking about a half hour, which wasn't to bad, I guess. I shoved the hair dryer back under the sink. I made a mental note about how I needed to clean under there, it was a mess.
I flopped down on my bed wondering what I could do for the next 2 hour before school started. I mean there was a million things I could do but none of them sounded interesting. Today is going to be one of those days, ugh.

Also if you catch any spelling or grammar mistakes feel free to let me know. :) The first few chapters are kinda just introducing you to the story so apologize if they are short.
