Getting Away With Murder
Chapter 1
I wake up to my alarm clock buzzing, Drowning out any other sound that my ears were trying to pick up. I groggily sit up, My hair a complete mess, Bags under my eyes, And curled in my soft blanket. I reach over my bed and slap the alarm clock, Making it stop it's annoying sounds. Sausage and pancakes lingure through the house and i smile, taking in the delicious smell.
I stretch, Popping my back and my toes. I lift the blankets off of me and face the chilly air. I shiver and rub my eyes, Taking in another sweetening breath. I walk over to my mirror and examine my looks. The tears were dried on my cheeks,From crying all night because of how much i was hated at my school, and my hair frizzed, Some peices spun in different directions. My pajamma shorts were hanging low, Like ussual and my tee shirt was still the same tee shirt, Just with mascara stains all over it.
I hear my name being called down stairs and i groan, Walking down the wooden steps. As i make my way down the cold stairs, a pair of feet are galloping behind me. I find myself Squeeling and punching my older brothers back as i was being lifted into the air.
"Put me down!" I say inbetween laughs.
" Not until you give me back my favorite shirt! I know you have it!" He smiled and still kept me in the air.
" But it's so comfortable!" I pout.
" Well, I still want it back! I need it for tonight!" Korey said with a smile laced on his lips and his eyes glistening from the light shinning through the window.
" What's so special about tonight?" I ask in curiousity.
My mother tells Korey to let me go and he respectfully listens. I laugh a little longer and smile at my brother. He was crazy sometimes, But was a real sweetheart if you knew him like i did. He was close to me and my mom and would do anything to keep us both safe and happy.
My mom sets three plates at our dining table, I walk over and take my seat. I sat across from my mom and Korey sat on my right. She slaps two pancakes, Bacon, A biscuit, And scrambled eggs on mine and Korey's plate. In the center of the table was the syrup, Ketchup and a small plate for our toast.
" So, Kinsey, Do you have your algebra and u.s. History homework done?" my mom raised an eyebrow and sipped her coffee.
I smiled and said," Yes mom. It's all finished. I just have a few questions on number sixteen in algerbra though. I can get help from Mr. O' Donnell."
My mom nods her head but i can see the worry in her eyes. I give her a light smile and eat my breakfast as fast as i can. I didn't want to be late for highschool again. And the first time wasn't my fault. Korey teased me with my looks and my homework grades so we both got into a playfull argument for about twenty minutes.
I rinse my now empty plate in the sink and set it at the bottom, Heading upstairs to Get dressed and finish my make-up. I trot up the stairs and close my door tightly behind me. I get dressed in my torn shorts with the claw marks through them and my white tang top with a silver anchor on it. I slip my grey flip flops on and brush my hair, Putting it in a bun, And let my bangs float down infront of my face. I brush my bangs and put them in a way that suits me. I set my sunglasses infront of my eyes and grab my purse, Pulling out a stick of gum and chew the minty stick.
My brother make a comment on my outfit, Telling me 'Where's the rest of your jeans?' I roll my eyes behind my shades and walk to my brother's car, With a hop in my step. Korey soon comes out and we both tell our mom bye and we lover her. She tells us the same thing but tells us to be safe. We both wave bye before speeding down the road, Heading to school.
" Do good in school today, Okay? Don't let anyone pick on you just because you like to read and study." Korey smiled and glanced my way. I smiled and quietly tell him thanks before eyeing the road. I see the gravel glide under us and i quietly sigh.
I wish Korey knew how much i was hated at school . . .
