My
Fairytale
Chapter 1
"Honey, are you ready?"
No, I hate going to these stupid things. They are a
waste of my time and I get no enjoyment whatsoever out of
this. I thought.
"Almost mom!", I replied instead, limping
around in one heel, looking for the other one.
"Uggggghh!," I
groaned. My entire room was turned upside down and I
still couldn't find the freaking shoe!
"Are you looking for this?", my older brother,
Ryan asked, standing in my doorway in a suit, with his
tie hanging around his neck, not tied, and
holding my missing heel.
"Yes!! Where'd you find it?!", I asked,
limping over to him and putting the shoe on, then going
over to my vanity to reapply some mascara and a bit more
lip gloss.
"You threw it at me the other day I think," he
replied, walking into my room and standing in front of my
mirror, trying to tie his tie. I puckered my lips then
walked over to him and tied it for him, fixing his hair a
little too.
"Oh yeah, you wouldn't stop singing," I
said, remembering that I had my best friend, Lauren over
and we were trying to talk about this guy she likes, but
Ryan, my brother, and his best friend, Kyle kept singing
obnoxiously.
"Thanks," Ryan said after I finished tying his
tie.
"No problem," I replied, grabbing my clutch and
shutting off my light.
"You ready?", he asked.
"Nope, but we gotta go
anyways," I said, walking
down the stairs. He groaned in agreement behind me, and
my mom was waiting by the bottom of the stairs for
us.
"Oh honey, you look absolutely gorgeous!", my
mom said when she saw me. (http://www.polyvore.com/dinner/set?id=34814429)
I rolled my eyes and checked my phone.
"And Ryan, you look so handsome!" He reacted in
the same way I had.
"Can you guys at least pretend you're happy to
be going to this?!"
"No?", we both said at the same time. Every
couple of weeks my mom would drag us along on some
business dinner with her, since her boss and co-workers
all brought their families too.
"Tonight it family oriented night though! Everyone
else is bringing their kids and I'd look like a dud
if I didn't bring my wonderful kids too!" We
rolled our eyes, since we all knew we were far from
wonderful.
"Come on, in the car, now," she said, shooing
us out the door.
"We're all going in one car?", Ryan
asked.
"Yes! It's FAMILY night. That means we ride in
the same car as a FAMILY," my mom said, sighing.
Ryan and I groaned, but got into my mothers black Lexus
anyway.
Ryan got shot gun, which just put me in an even worse
mood than I was in before. I texted Lauren back when
my mom looked at me in the rear view mirror, saying,
"When we get there, the phone goes in the purse and
stays there. That goes for you too mister," my mom
said, eyeing Ryan too, as he was probably texting his
girlfriend.
"But mom!", we both started, but she gave us
that look that meant if we said another word we'd be
in for it, so we both just shut up and sat back, waiting
to get to some fancy restaurant and eat with a bunch of
annoying people that we didn't even like. Tonight
should be fun.
