56Not Even Remotely Dorky
SMASH!
And there goes my twenty-seventh alarm clock of the month.
"Michelle? Please don't tell me you broke another alarm clock!" I heard my step-mother, Clarisse, screech all the way from the kitchen.
"No mother!" I hissed, "I saw a bug." My voice was a bit muffled since my face was buried deep into my pillow. Rolling over, I was greeted by familiar faces of my favorite bands. Somehow, I managed to stick up posters of Connect Three, Paramore, Three Days Grace and Flyleaf up on the ceiling!
Throwing the covers off of the bed, I hoisted myself up and slouched towards my ridiculously small closet. I've always tried to convince Clarisse to buy me a wardrobe, but of course, she doesn't listens to me. Ever.
Seeing that all of my good clothes were either in the laundry- or one of my idiotic step-brothers took some for an 'experiment'- I threw on a plain light blue tank top with bell bottom jeans. Over my tank top, I wore a white long-sleeved zip up jacket. I smoothed my hair back into a ponytail and shoved my thick eyeglasses onto my face.
I walked downstairs and into the kitchen, where Clarisse was watching television.
My parents have been divorced for a little bit over a year already. Mom has a boyfriend, William, and Dad married… her. I've been living with my dad a couple days before school my real mom hadn't been too busy with work, I defiantly would have stayed with her. When I live with Dad, it seems as if I'm stuck with Clarisse and the dweebs 24/7. Nothing can be worse than that.
Clarisse must've heard me since she turned her head towards me. As usual, I was greeted 'good morning' with one of her signature glares. "Good God Michelle! It takes you like a year to dress up!" she scoffed.
Then it must take you a century, I thought furiously.
As you can probably see, I do not get along well with Clarisse. I'm actually still wondering how the hell my dad even married this woman! I mean she looks like the bride of Frankenstein, has two annoying twin boys, can't figure out what two plus two is, and has horrible manners!
"Hurry up and eat your breakfast! I don't want to have to drive you to school!"
Ugh, school. I can't exactly say it's the worst thing that's happened in my entire life- the worst thing being my dad marrying Mrs. Frankenstein- but I can certainly say it's not the best thing. Maybe some of the reasons why is because I'm ugly. A total outcast. A geek.
I scarfed down a granola bar and chased it down with a glass of orange juice. Grabbing my bag off the counter, I rushed off towards my bus stop just as Nick and Neil came down the stairs. I quickly ruffled their hair and kissed them on the cheek. "Bye dweebs!" I grinned, knowing that it would drive them insane. From the corner of my eye, I could see them wipe their cheeks in disgust. Yes, I absolutely loath Clarisse, but the twins are okay.
Once the bus arrived to my stop, I sat across the aisle from my two best (and only) friends, Caitlyn and Sierra. We've been best friends since we were in diapers. One of the many things we have in common is that we both have divorced parents, so we understand each other 100.
"Hey Mitch!" greeted Sierra. She nudged Caitlyn who seemed to have fallen asleep. "Wha- oh… Hi Mitchie," the groggy teen yawned. "She only got four hours of sleep," Sierra explained.
I grinned. "It's a miracle how she hasn't thrown anything yet!"
When Caitlyn gets less than seven hours of sleep, she starts to go ballistic and throws random things everywhere. Heck, she even picked up one of our classmates and threw him into a locker, denting it. Ouch, poor guy.
So the basic thing to know about Caitlyn is…
If she gets less than seven hours of sleep, run away.
The bus finally stopped in front of her school. I stood up and accidentally bumped into somebody. It was a girl. She was at least five foot nine. Her platinum blond hair fell lightly on her shoulders. Her blue eyes were shining like diamonds. She wore a purple designer top with matching skinny jeans.
"Oh! Sorry. I didn't see you there," I apologized, smiling slightly.
"Ugh, obviously," she scoffed and sauntered off the bus.
My smile faltered.
"That's Tess Tyler," piped up Caitlyn, "She's in one of my classes."
"She's also the daughter of TJ Tyler," Sierra added. My face scrunched up. "Hmm… love TJ, hate her," I decided. They nodded in agreement.
Luckily for us, our lockers were right next to each other. "Yes! Fate has brought us together… again!" cheered Sierra. Caitlyn looked at her weirdly. "You still believe in that fate junk?"
Sierra glared at her. "It's not junk!" she protested.
"Anyways," I slurred, "What do you guys have for first period? I have advanced math."
"History," replied Caitlyn.
"Umm… Trigonometry," Sierra said, squinting at her schedule.
I pouted. "Darn!"
Just then, Adrian Tuckner and her posse walked by. She had light brown hair that reached halfway down her back. Her large brown eyes seem to bore a hole straight through your head. She was also captain of the cheer squad and probably one of the dumbest people in the world, right after Mrs. Frankenstei- I mean Clarisse.
"Ew, look at the nerd!" she gagged, looking towards us. Thankfully, they left just as quickly as they came.
"Hey! Nerd stands for not even remotely dorky!" Caitlyn shouted after her, even though I'm pretty sure she didn't hear.
Sierra looked at her in wonder. "Not even remotely dorky? You gotta be kidding me Cait!" she sighed. Caitlyn put her hands on her hips.
"It's most likely better than what you could think of!" she said.
Sierra thought for a moment. "Yeah… you're right!" exclaimed the energetic teen. Then, the first bell rang, making all of us jump slightly.
"Well, I guess that's our cue to go! Bye!" I said, heading off in one direction.
"Bye Mitch!" they replied in unison.
I climbed up long agonizing staircase. It's either they made them too long, or I'm way out of shape.
After a couple minutes of walking, I finally reached room 608. The door was painted a bright red that screamed, Welcome to hell!
I opened the door and walked in, surprised to see…
