I opened my eyes, panting, breathing heavily and my body glistening with sweat, I looked to the right to see the sun reflecting through the window, and on the other side of my bed was my lamp, sitting comfortably on my drawer, my eyes landed on the little clock beeping furiously.
Ugh! I turned around and pulled the covers over my head, trying to get more sleep. I was about to drift off again when a knock interrupted me. I threw the covers off me and glared at the door.
"What?!" I screamed at the person behind the door.
"Do not scream at me young woman, school starts in an hour, so get your sleepy head out of bed and wake your sister to get ready''
Oh..... it's my mom.
I heard her retreating footsteps as she walked back downstairs.
School?
It's Monday?...
I looked back at the alarm clock that was still beeping red.
It's 7:02am.....shit.
I jumped out of bed, I got out of my room and went to the room across from mine and banged on the door.
"WHAT?!" Gabriella screamed from the other side.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes ,not that I really cared, but she would put all the blame on me if we got late to school on our first day, I knew her so well for that.
I took a deep breath. "we're gonna be late for school Gabriella, wake up! "
"Do not yell at me bitch, I'm coming! " She yelled back.
"Suit yourself then. I wasn't even yelling. " I said and went to the bathroom, took my brush and and started brushing.
I remembered two days ago, when we just got here, I was so excited about the new environment and we just got into college, I'm still excited about it right now. I can't wait to make new friends...or maybe not.
And dad also got transferred, I really loved the idea of changing our environment. But I was and I'm still hoping that things will be different here. That Gabriella would be different here. Highschool with her had been a roller coaster, I was not wishing to experience that again.
The bathroom door flunged open, making me jump for a second as a Gabriella walked in, a scowl set permanently on her face. She didn't even bother talking to me as she took her own brush and started brushing.
I rolled my eyes and continued to do my business.
She started to hum a tune and packed her bleached hair in a messy bun.
We used to have the same natural light brown hair color, before she decided to turn herself blonde. It looks good on her if I'm being honest, but I wasn't going to tell her that.
Gabriella and I are twins, but we were complete opposites.
After taking my bath, I opened my closet and grabbed my clothes, the weather was a little chill, so I dressed to attack the cold. Hah. Then I grabbed my small back bag and tied my hair up in a ponytail and posed to the mirror.
When I got downstairs, Gabriella was already at the table, dads face was buried into the newspaper at the head of the table. As always.....
I greeted my mom and dad before sitting across Gabriella who was typing furiously away on her phone. She looked nice in her light pink wooven sweater and jean jacket, over her white skinny pants, she was literally a walking Barbie.
Mum came to the table to set the dishes and I stood up to help her, After setting everything in place, I sat down and began to eat my breakfast, which was scrambled eggs, sliced breads and a cup of warm tea.
"How was your night sweethearts?" Mom asked with a smile as she joined us at the table.
"Awesome. I slept like a baby''. I replied gingerly. That was a lie, I could barely sleep because of the cold. I was literally freezing at the middle of the night.
"Well I surely can testify to that since you didn't want to get up this morning''. My mom replied with an eyeroll. I only replied by stuffing my face with eggs. Mom smiled and shook her head at me.
She turned to Gabriella ,but her smile dropped when she saw that she was still on her phone, she reached over and snatched the phone from her hands.
"Hey." she whinned.
"No phone at the table Gabriella, how many times do I have to tell you that?" Mom said sternly.
Gabriella only rolled her eyes and picked up her fork, she glanced at my plate and huffed when she saw that I was almost done with my breakfast. She munched on her breakfast in a hurry and drank her tea, then she stood up to leave, she took her phone on the table and carried her bag.
"Robert called this morning, he said to tell you guys to behave and not cause any trouble." Dad said, directing his gaze on Gabriella at the last sentence, and she understood immediately.
"Yeah yeah I get it, can I go now?" Gabriella said with a scowl on her face.
"yes you can." Mom said. And she didn't miss a second as she hurriedly went out of the house, I also got up and bade mom and dad good bye before running outside of the house so I won't miss the bus.
