Chapter 1
Have you ever felt like you’re falling into the ocean early in the morning, probably not, because it’s not really the ocean but cold water that has just been thrown at you.
Ahh...
When I opened my eyes I saw the two evil greens of Taylor and Tiffany. They were both just standing and staring at the foot of the bed and staring at me.
" Harry up we are going to be late” Tiffany said
She grabbed her brother’s hand and led him out of my room. Dam I forgot to lock my door... This happens every time I don’t lock it. I have been living with them for 2 years and it has been hell. Tiffany and Taylor are both twins and we were all in our senior year. They were both older than me by a couple of months as I was still 17 about to turn 18 in 2 months. I moved in with my dad after my mom got a new job and started traveling a lot and didn’t want me to stay alone. My parents divorced when I was in middle school. It was hard at first but my sketch book helped me cope with it. They both remarried my dad to Claudia who along with her came the twins and my mom to Victor who spoiled me like I was his own and I like that as with my dad he is not really home as he is the co president or something like that of this company and that leads me to rely if you could say on Claudia but she really doesn’t care for me and doesn’t even like me. You may wonder how do I know that well she lets the twins pull stunts like the one in the morning and sometimes she even takes part in them. Sometimes it’s even worse and I may get hit just to punish me for moving in but I can’t tell my dad because he is blinded by the love he has for her and well I don’t want to ruin my mom’s carrier so I just suck it up.
“Penelope” I heard someone call
“I am going” I reply
" We need breakfast” Taylor said
Ahh... I head to my restroom that is thankfully attached to my room and skip the bath thanks to my lovely twins giving it to me in my sleep. I changed into a green shirt and some jeans and grabbed my hoodie. As I go downstairs I notice no one in sight I look outside and like always the cars were gone just mine remained. I guess breakfast alone, not like I mind. I take out my phone while popping a bagel in the toaster and checked that I had two new messages I opened moms first
Me : yes with who?
I see the dots and wait at the same time the bagels pop and I start putting crème cheese on it
Mom : partners from work it’s a banquet
Me : ok I'll be there after class
Mom : ok love you take care
While eating I open up Liza’s who is my best friend since middle school. Even if we don’t go to the same school or rather since she is homeschool due to her picking up the modeling and acting career and has to travel a lot, that leaves no way for attending classes we still talk and text. Sometimes even meet for some coffee.
sister from another mother : hey how’s it up there?
Me: great like always
Sister from another mother: is it that offal?...guess who is coming home Monday
she knew me too well to know that I hate leaving here
Me: yea just looking forward to Friday to be with mom...and Monday now that you are coming!!
Don’t get me wrong I love my dad but I really didn’t talk to him as he was not really around and when he was home he was too tired, he tried to make time for me but I always made him rest as he needed it.
Yesssss
Liza is coming back I have so much to share with her and I like when she tells me everything that happens in her trips. I got my stuff and started to make the 10 minute walk to school, I put on my hoodie it was big and it reached my to my knees but just how I like it. you may wonder why don’t I take my car if I had one well my car is fancy thanks to my dad and that would catch too much attention and I don’t like that. but the twins would also try and destroy it to hamulate me in front of the whole school. I don’t know why they haven’t touched it here as it is just parked there but I am glad they haven’t. Putting on my hoodie I start my walk to school. I am one of those who has no friends but enjoys solitude and enjoys the company of her sketchbook and a good tree. you may wonder how I have no friends well I have the lovely tween to thank for not only do they make home feel like her they also do it in school I mean school is already hell but they add to the fire. I look up when I hear a honk and see the red Mercedes speed away. I recognized it as the twin car who got it for her 17 birthday courtesy of my dad. They hate being seen with me but I guess the feeling is mutual, which is one of the reasons I don’t go out with them or Claudia. I pull my hoodie farther down my head as I approach school even if I have no one staring at me I still put my head down and enter the school. So I guess welcome to my life.
