Cailey: The Rough and Final Years
Chapter 1
Growing up is a Part of Life
Beep, beep, beep, went the alarm clock on the rigid old night stand. Cailey groaned hitting the off button. She sat up rubbing the sleep from her sky blue eyes.
"Hailey, sis it's time for school." She yawned. She launched a pillow from across the room at her. Hailey sat up with angry ora.
"You didn't have to throw a pillow at me. I am capable of listening with my ears thank you." Hailey snapped. Bailey peered in their room from the hallway, and tapped the door lightly, waltzing in. She smiled at them with a loving look in her eyes. Today were here daughter's first day of high school.
"Are you guys ready to be freshmen? You're going to love your high school career." She beamed. Cailey scoffed under her breath. She rolled her eyes and Hailey giggled a sarcastic laugh.
"Yea mom, I'm sure we will. We have to get up earlier, meet new people, and sit in boring class rooms and study twice as hard. We are just going to love it aren't we?" Cailey replied gathering her clothes from her closet.
"I mean I'm excited and all about the new things and such, but I'm not too keen on the less sleep part. Oh, but science will be amazing. Daddy will definitely be a big help on that." She said with an inch of excitement. Like her daddy she was intelligent. Cailey was brilliant herself, but she never made an effort to show it. They we're only thirteen, but Cailey was like any other typical teenager. She was experiencing the rough parts of her life: peer pressure, drama, self image, and so on.
Bailey left the room to prepare breakfast and Cailey gave Hailey this disgusted look. She had to admit that she was slightly embarrassed to have everyone one knows she was in fact related to Hailey. She despised her not so cool, geeky personality. As they walked downstairs for breakfast they noticed their father leaving. He glanced at them doing a double take. They look oddly just like their mother had done about 15 years ago, beautiful and flawless in every way. They were dressed appropriately and not too much make up. They didn't like their daughters portraying to be like them teen whores on the streets.
"Good morning ladies, how has your morning been so far?" Cody asked putting on his dress coat. "Are you excited for your first day of high school?" he kissed their foreheads. Cailey wiped the dampness it had left. She rolled her eyes scoffing.
"Dad must I remind you that I am a young lady now? I don't need your kisses all the time." Cody chuckled lightly and blew a kiss to Bailey. Can you believe that it's been 24 years and their passion had still burnt for each other more than ever? Still in love like little school kids: making kissey faces, holding hands, going on dates. It was sweet to see that they still tried their best to make time for one another.
"Mom did you wash my skull shirt?" Junior called from the stair case.
"Yes, hon. it's lying at the foot of your bed." Bailey yelled to her son. Junior was now ten and was in the fourth grade. He on the other hand was excited for school. Only because he had class with the most beautiful girl in the school! Her name was Brittney and she was lovely for a ten year old. The kids scarped down their food heading for the bus.
"Bye momma, I love you. Have a nice day." Hailey kissed her on the cheek grabbing her knapsack. Cailey waved leaving her sister behind. Bailey worried about Cailey a lot. She reminded her of her brother- in- law, Zack, who was now a responsible adult. She was mischievous, impolite, and always around the boys. She hoped this was just one of those stages teens go through. That she would make mistakes now before it was too late. Because making mistakes is a part of life and that involves growing up as well.
