New half-bloods

I awoke to extremely loud music coming from next to me. It was the most annoying sound in the world. Well actually it was a very good song but to a sleep deprived teenage girl any noise going off at 6:30 is annoying. Anyways I got out of bed groggily and walked to my dresser. I grabbed my black skinny jeans and my chemical romance t-shirt (coincidently the band who wrote the song that woke me up, 'thank you for the venom'). I yanked a brush through my dark brown hair while swaying slightly to the beat of my music. I rummaged around till I found my black eyeliner and mascara, applying a dark line around my chocolate colored eyes. I hoisted my always threatening to fall to the ground pants up and walked down the stairs. When I got to the kitchen and smiled mischievously as I grabbed a pan and wooden spoon before running back up the stairs. I slowly opened the door to my brother, Leo's, room.

"Lelo…" I said softly. He didn't stir so I walked up next to his bed and knelt down so I was next to his head. "Leo you need to get up now…" I said a little louder. He mumbled in his sleep but still didn't get up. You're asking for it I thought. I climbed onto his bed and stood by his feet. I jumped up and down banging my pot with the wood spoon and yelling at the top of my lungs. He jumped up with a surprised shriek. He glared at me with his hazel eyes and stretched. People say we look alike but we really don't. Leo has hazel eyes were as mine are brown, he has lighter hair than mine, he has a more square jaw… the only thing we have in common is we have high cheek bones. He pulled the blanket off and walked over to his dresser. I ran back down the stairs and made some cereal for myself. I gulped it down then went to brush my teeth. Leo came stomping down the stairs just as mom did too, dressed in her uniform. Our mom was a flight attendant and had to get to work at 7 so me and Leo had to get up early so we could go to school.

"good morning Layla." My mom, Karen, said walking through the kitchen to give me a hug and one of her dazzling white toothed smiles. She ran down the hall to our bathroom to get ready and I could hear the water running as she brushed her teeth. I grabbed an apple and tossed it to leo. He caught it and took a bite while rummaging through the cupboard for more food. It was his first day of 6th grade and my first day of 9th. When we were all ready it was about 6:45 and we all ran to the car since mom was already gonna be late for work. She was a flight attendant so she had to get to work early.

Mom dropped leo off at school and we watched him jog to the play ground so he could wait for his friends. Only three of my friends are going to the same school which doesn't exactly make a difference since I wasn't very popular to begin with. When we got to the school I gave my mom a hug then jumped out of the car. As soon as I was out of the car I was tackled.
