Amber
Hearing my alarm, I grumpily woke up almost smashing the clock to pieces to make it stop ringing. After that, I rolled off of my sheets, falling on the floor. Sitting up, I rub my back wincing at the pain and stood up. I made my bed and headed to the bathroom.
I looked in the mirror and jumped back hitting my head on the wall. Not the greatest start to my day. I look at the mirror again staring at the monstrosity on my head.
I look like Medusa.
Quickly I went into the shower, grabbing anything that could make this look better.
After I feel like this is something I could work with I turn off the shower and get out. After drying off with a towel I start to do my hair, grabbing my blow dryer I get my comb and starting combing my hair so I’m not ending up with a head of knots.
After this I start doing my face, I put on no makeup but just do my eyes, lips and eyebrows. I go into my closet and put on the outfit I made from last night. I get out looking in the mirror one more time and stare.
“Eh, better then Medusa.”
I head out of my room sliding down the stairs, walking into the kitchen. I see Asher cooking some food so I sit down on one of the chairs. Watching him make the food.
“Hey Amber, how’d you sleep.”
“I looked like Medusa, that’s saying something. My back is in so much pain too.” I say rubbing my back.
“Aww are you ok? Do you need to go to the doctor?” He was being sarcastic but him being the kind of brother he is, he was also being serious.
“I’m fine Ash.” I chuckle
He nods ‘ok’ and put some food on a plate handing it to me.
“But if it still hurts tell me please” He smiled
“Ok”
“Thank you.” He kissed my temple and went upstairs to probably get my bag and violin.
He, and my dad are the best cooks. They make any type of food you want. My dad usually just makes us barbecue for us since that’s what he loves but that’s it.
I ate the food and turned around to see Asher walking down the steps putting my laptop in there. He looked up and smiled at me.
“Judging by the way the clock has some screws falling out it. I guess you had a dream about him.” He smirked.
“Yup, me and him were getting married. I thought it was real for a second until I heard the alarm.”
“I don’t know what you see in that guy.” He said walking to me. I sigh putting my head back before looking at him again.
“Yeah, yeah, I’ve heard that for how many years now?”
“11, and you will still hear it until you get the point.”
I roll my eyes, and take the bag and violin from him. Me and him walk through the hallway, heading to the garage. We get inside his car and open the garage up. We reverse out and go up the street.
“Oh, mom and dad are coming home soon.” He says turning Bluetooth on.
“Yay, finally there coming home.” I smile. My dad never gets this long of a break. He is usually working across the country. I mean owning a Multi Billion company is a lot of work, so I hold nothing against him. I’m glad he’s doing this. My mom is a model and she is coming home from Spain. It was a coincidence that her, and my dad were working in the same country. Yet alone the same city. So they got to stay together.
After driving for about 10 minutes we get to my school. Ridgebay Heights, home of the Eagles. Or whatever mascot we have, I always forget.
“Please no dreaming about him, or thinking about him. And be safe.” He says hugging me.
“Ok. I can’t breathe, like at all... Asher I cant breathe” he finally stopped hugging and smiled.
“I love you.” He smiled at me.
“Love you too.” I say hugging him. But not as tight as he did to me. Because I couldn't even if I tried
“Bye” He said to me as I was getting.
I wave back at him Mouthing ‘bye’ back and head up the steps to my school, watching as he drives away.
“Ok, be prepared Amber.” I said patting my face.
I take a few steps and mentally prepare myself one more time before touching the door. I put my hand on the door and open it. I walk in a few steps and see people talking with each other. I smile happy that I’m not going to get bombarded with students.
I walk down the hallway taking a left into the locker area. I smile even wider when I don’t see anybody and walk to my locker. I put in the pin and open it up. I put In my bag and take out my books, putting them in my smaller backpack. I also put my violin in the locker under it Since students in orchestra or band have a locker under them. The locker size varies on what instrument you play.
I shut my locker and sigh. In relief that for the first time. In forever, I actually didn’t get bombarded by people. I turn around and groan loudly but then smile after that. Everyone is crowding my locker.
Once I open my mouth everyone starts talking.
“Amber! When am I going to get that interview?”
“Amber! When are we going to practice The bar?
“Amber! When are you goin-“ I put my hand up and everyone stops talking.
“Is it ok if we do this later? I need to get to my classes I promise I’ll get to you”
I hear a chorus of ok’s and everybody walks off. Sometimes I hate being popular, It would be nice to have a normal life for once. clo
I turn to my left and see more people, but they are the people I want to see. My friends.
“Hey, Amber!” Sabrina said running up to me with Kelani, and everyone else.
“Hi Sabrina, why did you come all the over to this side of school? We have 10 minutes too get to class.” Our school Is gigantic, I guess that’s what you get when the owner of this city is your dad, it also doesn’t help when he is a billionaire.
“Well we just wanted to say hello, to our friend.” Ace said, He is one of my closest friends. And he’s one of Asher's, which is surprising because Asher barely has any. Which he chose to have.
“Well, I don’t want you guys being late. Go to class.” I say hugging them.
“Ok, love you!” They said to me then walked off.
Kelani is the only one that stayed since she has almost all her classes with me. We started walking to the courtyard then headed to the basement level. That’s where our first class is. Ms. Kora, the worlds worst history teacher.
I told Kelani I would come in there soon so I decided to get a water from the vending machine. No one knows this but there is a fingerprint on the side. Only meant for me and Asher. My dad put them there so that we wouldn’t have to pay. I loved the idea but sometimes I wanted to pay. So I put a dollar in there, and waited for my water to come.
“Hey Amber! Daydreaming about him?!” Kelani practically yelled.
“No, I’m not, could you not yell so loud” I whisper yell.
“I’m incapable, but I know you were!” She yelled again.
There was people around me and they walked slower to hear what I was talking about. Another thing I hate about being popular.
“I wasn’t! Now stop before Ms. Kora attacks you!” I whisper, grabbing my water that I didn’t notice
“She doesn’t even notice me. I bet you she is still-“ I point behind her to the short, big lady.
“Kelani! What are you looking at” She yelled even louder then Kelani.
She looked at me really quickly before looking at the teacher. She knew that she had to tell the teacher so I was left with a decision.
“I was looking at Amb-“ Deal with a yelling lady, or Ditch class
“Amber” she finished.
I choose the latter one and bolted out of there. I’m pretty sure I made a world record. I quickly looked back at Kelani who just looked at me with fear. I knew she wasn’t scared of Ms. Kora so what was he so worried about?
I quickly found out the answer to the question when I bumped in a wall. Not just any wall. But him. Your probably wondering who that Him is.
He is Dallas, Captain of the Baseball team, my crush since 1st grade, most popular guy in school. That’s Dallas.
I quickly dart my eyes up at him and he smiles. My heart wanted to jump in his arms. But my brain wanted to hide in a bathroom, and ditch class. I choose the second one.
“I’m sorry I didn’t see you.” I stuttered
“It’s fine we all make mistakes.” He said. Did it have to be a mistake?
"Way to be cliche Amber" I whisper
I nod slowly then walk past him smiling back before hitting another wall. Could my day get any worse? I open the bathroom door and hide in one of the stalls. Yeah this day is not my best. I wonder if Dallas’ Was better?
Probably not, I don’t even think he has siblings.
