Chapter 1
My crazy family
Leila
My name is Leila Sabrina Smith , but my friends call me Leila.
I’m a senior in Nova high school. You’d think I’d be happy, right ?
You know when you’re a freshman , you spend every day wishing you were done, but the second you reach the exit, you kind of want to turn around and stay a little longer.
“Leila , where are you ?”
“ I’m right here . so did you finish your college admission yet ? ”
Oh, I forgot to introduce you to my bestfriend Luna Lova Hayes.
She come from The Hayes, a rich and powerful family. To be honest I can’t stand them except her mom.
“ Yeah I finish my submission. Lova sighed,”
“ But i’m scared to go home.”
See, here’s the thing about the Hayes family: They’re a generation of doctors. To them, if you aren’t wearing a coat and holding a scalpel, you’re a failure. They want Lova to follow in their footsteps, but she wants to be a fashion designer. Poor girl is living a double life.
“ You’re going to be just fine, it’s not like they’re going to kick you out.”
I think it’s time to go to class, this is my least favorite teacher Mrs.Mary. I mean her name is mary, she is supposed to be kind like Jesus mother she look more like Satan mother.
Today is technically our last day, and we aren’t even supposed to have real classess, but she made us come in anyway.
“ Leila, Did you design your prom dress already ? ”
“No, not yet.”
This is Elena, she’s in all my classes and she’s incredible smart.
Back in the day students use to bully her but lova and I stood up for her, now she became one of us.
“ What about you ? are done with yours. ”
“ No, almost. ”
Mrs. Mary pull her chair and sits, to be honest everybody think of her as a cool teacher except me.But I have my reason, she always torturing me for example she tell us to design our dream dress, she look at mine and said ewww that’s your dream dress. She just won’t admit that I have potential.
“ Did y’all finish with the prom dress ? can I see the design ? ”
“ You can see it when we go to prom with it ? right guys ”
“ Thank God, this class is done. ”
“ Luna, Are you heading home straight ? ”
I was thinking of doing so but my parents are going to kill me.
Do you want to come to my house ?
Yes, What would I do without you ?
“ Sabrina wait for us.”
Those are my trouble maker sibling Maya and James, my family call me sabrina.
They know how to drive but they don’t have a car. My parents don’t trust them.
"Pop in quick," I told them. "I have to get some sleep before work."
"Luna, don’t you have your own car?" James asked. "Aren’t you rich?”
“Yeah, but my parents won’t let me drive it until I'm in college.”
“ What a pity ? ”
Wait , forgot to tell you why they call me by two different names, My friends call me Leila cause I’m immature at school. But family call me sabrina because i’m a serious child at home but i think it’s because they are used to it.
“ Mom , I’m home with company.”
“Where’s dad ?”
“He resting in the bedroom.”
This is my mom Valentina , she’s been making me take responsibility for this family ever since I turned 13 years old. But my siblings have been free loader.
“ Sabrina come help me, make the table. ”
“ Yes, mom ”
You see what I’m telling y’all, she didn’t call my siblings but me.
It’s good for me cause now i know how to cook, but my sister don’t.
“ James, Maya the food is ready come on.”
“ Go get your father.”
“She treat them, like prince or princess.”
“Dad , you up the food is ready.”
This is my dad Alexandro. He’s a bit but my favorite.
He treat me like a princess, not like my mother.
“ ¿Qué pasa, princesa? ” he asked softly. ( what’s up princess?)
“ Mamá está tratando a Maya como a una princesa otra vez.” I whispered back , leaning against the doorframe. ( Mom is treating Maya like a princess again.)
As you can see, my dad speak spanish he’s from spain.
We’re the only ones in the house who speak spanish fluently. My dad and I have a strong bond ever since i was three years old. So everything that happen in my life he know, He’s like my best friend.
Diner was quick, but the tension was building for lova. She kept checking her phone, her face pale.
“Luna I think it’s time to go .”
“Yeah I dead meat.” she whispered.
“Sabrina, what about the dishes ? “
“Mom , my sister is here. Why do i have to wash the dishes?
Dad, say something.”
“Oh dear, let Maya wash them for once. she doesn’t know to do anything because you’ve spoiled her.”
“Let’s go Luna”. I said, grabbing my keys.
I opened the car door, started the engine, and we flew out of the driveway.
I feel sorry for Luna, cause it’s going to be intance at her house.
