Hey guys! New story for you! I know that I haven't finished off the Caleb and Jacob saga but I have wanted to write this for AGES! Now this is my own take on one of my favourite fairy tales. I have always wanted to live this story ever since I was small so this is the perfect chance for me to live it It probably will turn out predictable but meh. This story never gets old for me Hope you enjoy! :P
"JUSTIN! Get out of bed NOW! You were supposed to be up half an hour ago! Now make us our breakfast!"
"Hmmm.. I'm up, I'm up..."
"No, you're not! Your still in bed and still half asleep! Now get up! You have 10 seconds!"
Hmmm.. Better get up... Have to make Miss Miranda happy..
I get up and out of bed to make her happy.
"Happy?" I say in a sarcastic tone.
"Don't you dare talk to me in that tone! Now hurry up and make us breakfast! We will be downstairs, waiting." And with that remark, she walks out of my 'room'(technically the attic) and down the stairs to the kitchen. I get dressed in my hand-me-down clothes and, like every morning, realize that they are too big. Hmm..Really must ask for some new clothes. I walk downstairs and see they everyone is waiting at the table for their breakfast.
"Good morning, Alexa. Good morning, Chloe." I say to my two stepsisters.
"Hurry up with breakfast! We have been waiting here for ages!" Alexa says to me.
"Ok, Anything you want in particular?"
"Strawberry cinnamon french toast, please." Chloe says.
"umm..I don't have time to make that! I have to get to school, you know... How about bacon and eggs?"
"NO! We want strawberry cinnamon french toast and it's strawberry cinnamon french toast we are gonna get! Now get to it." They scream at me.
"But.."
"You better make my two girls happy, Justin. Just because you talked to your dad like that, doesn't mean that you can talk to us like that." Miranda interrupts.
"But I didn't talk..."
"SILENCE! Now you hurry up and make them whatever they want. They have school in 15 minutes."
"But I have school in 15 minutes as well. I don't wanna be late."
"Well, that's your fault then. My girls were up and ready 45 minutes ago. Why should they get punished when they haven't done anything wrong? Answer me that, Justin."
"Well then why didn't you wake me? I could of done everything earlier if you woke me."
"End of discussion, Justin. Now hurry up and make my girls breakfast. I have some errands to run. Bye Alexa, Bye Chloe. I love you two. See you two after school." She says as she kisses them on the forehead and walks out the door.
"Oh mom!" Alexa yells out.
"Yes dear?" Miranda says as she pops her head back through the door.
"Please don't forget to pick up that new CD for me! You know, the new Taylor Swift one."
Egh, I hate Taylor Swift! How can she possibly listen want HER new CD!
"Of course I will. I haven't forgotten. Bye love." And she blows her a kiss and runs back out the door.
Then Alexa turns to me.
"Hurry up, Justin! I want my breakfast!"
"Yeah! Me two!" Chloe cries out.
"Ok, ok. Doing now."
So, as fast as I could, I get there breakfast prepared. I prepare the toast, get the used dishes piled up when..
"Don't forget, Justin! I want homemade whipped cream. Not that crap that comes out of a can. Too fatty." Chloe yells at me.
It doesn't matter! It's still fatty...dumb bitch..
"Yes, of course, Chloe.." I say in a fake tone.
I get the cream out of the fridge and make it the way she likes it. As I make it, I listen in on their conversation.
"Oh my god, He is so hot! I will do anything to have him. Wanna stalk after school?"
"We have cheerleading practise after school, Alexa."
"Damn! After school tomorrow?"
"Yeah! He will make the perfect boyfriend for you!"
"Duh! I mean, It's me we are talking about here."
O shut up! God, Is that all they care about!
I finally finish making their bloody breakfast and serve it in front of them.
"Oh! We've got to go! Don't wanna be late for school." And they get up from the table, pick up their school bags and rush out the door...without eating their breakfast.
"AHHHH!" I scream while picking up the plates of food and smash them on the ground. I storm up the stairs and get ready for school. Even though I will be late. Oh well. Nothing new.
"JUSTIN!" I hear Miranda screaming from downstairs.
Crap! What the hell is she doing home!
I storm back downstairs, enraged.
"WHAT!"
"DON'T SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT!"
"Sorry..." I whisper back.
"Now, What happened in here!"
"The girls left for school without eating their breakfast so I got annoyed and kinda..threw the plates on the ground.."
"That's no excuse for making all of this mess! Now clean this up!"
"But I have school..I will do it when I get home."
"NO! You will clean this up here and now! Oh and since you have a bit of an attitude this morning, I have a list of things that I want done around the house. And I expect them to be done by the time I get home."
"But I have school. I have a test today. And it's kinda important. It's worth 30% of my grade."
"Justin, We have been over this before. You don't need an education. You already have a job. And you need an education to get a job. And luckily, you already have one. So no need for school."
"I don't want to spend the rest of my life working as a cashier at a supermarket."
"Sure you do! Now, I want you to vacuum the house, clean the garage, clean the girls rooms, clean my room and do the gardens. Is that understood?"
"Yes, miss."
"Good. Now get to it!" And she walks out the door.
Great. Just great! I have to miss out on my English test just because I made one little mistake this morning. You see, when I graduate college, I plan to be a writer. That's my dream and that's what I have always wanted to do . And I am trying to get a scholarship since I can't afford to pay for it. My job doesn't really pay well. And there is no way Miranda will pay for me. Even though she is rolling in the money. She wants to keep me here FOREVER. And that is so not happening. So I am trying to get out of here as fast as I possibly can. Now, I need to introduce myself. Umm..Name's Justin. 17 years old. Live my stepmother and her two daughters since my dad passed away a couple of years ago from cancer. And my real mother..Never really met here. She left when I was about 2. So here, I am. Stuck cleaning houses and working my ass off at a supermarket.
*Bzzz,Bzzz*
Hmm..Wonder who that could be. I pick up my phone and answer.
"Hello?"
"JUSTIN! Where are you! We are just about to go into the test! You have like 2 minutes to get here."
"I'm not gonna be able to make it, Mia. The 'Queen' wants me to stay home and clean all day. I had to make the girls fricking french toast this morning and they left without eating it. So I got angry and smashed their plates on the ground. And then... she caught me. So now, I am stuck cleaning all day. Please tell Miss that I won't be able to attend."
"Ok sure. I'm sorry you got stuck in that situation again, Justin. She must really hate you going to school."
"Oh, she does!"
"Ok..Oh! I've got to go. They are letting us in. Bye Justin! Will call when I have finished and will tell you how it went."
"Ok. Bye Mia! Good luck!"
"Thanks!" And she hangs up.
I put the phone back into my pocket and decided what I should do first. Hmm.. I should really clean the girls room first. They will take the longest. Oh! That was Mia on the phone. She is my best friend. We met in primary school and we haven't stop being friends since! So, I walk up the stairs and walk into Chloe's room first. Oh my word! This was worse than I expected. There's plates all over the floor with food encrusted on them, dirty clothes sprawn all over the room, music playing from her stereo, an unmade bed. This is gonna take me forever! Oh well. Better get started...
2 hours later
.
.
.
Phew! That was a mission! I can't expect Alexa's room is gonna be much better.
*Bzzz,Bzz*
Hmm..Oh, phone.
"Hello?"
"Oh my god, that was so hard! I don't think anyone would of passed that!"
"Hello to you too, Mia"
'Oh! Hi...Anyways, they had stuff in there which we hadn't done in class and the stuff we did do was all muddled up and confusing!"
"Sounds like it was really hard."
"Oh it was! But that's not the best part! After we finished the test, they announced that...we are having a school ball on Friday!"
"Oh, wow. Sounds cool."
"You don't sound very excited."
"I hate all of those things, Proms, Balls, Homecomings, all of that. I never have a date for any of them and I just end up getting depressed about it."
" Oh, don't worry Justin! You will find someone! In the meantime, you can take me for the ball! I know I'm not a hot guy but in the mean time, You can have a good time with me!"
"Ok, Ok I'll go with you! Now, I'm sorry, Mia but I've got to finish up my chores. I only just finished cleaning Chloe's room and I've still got to do everyone else's."
"Ok. Bye Justin! You better start thinking about your gonna wear!" And she hangs up.
Crap. What am I gonna wear? I don't have anything formal. Why couldn't they announce it last week? They don't really give you much notice. Oh well..Better get started on Alexa's room...
So...What did you guys think! Like the idea? Don't like the idea? Well..It's pretty fun to write this! I can tell you straight up that this story isn't gonna be as long as Caleb and Jacob. So just a quick little story for you guys Anywys hope you guys like it and PLEASE review! :P Take care everyone and God bless.
