"I didn't want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that's really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare."
"Katherine time for school!"
"Five more minutes" I groaned rolling over to cover my head with the pillow. My mother could be heard cooking breakfast in the kitchen. The clanks of utensils combined with the pleasant smells of omelets and bacon drifted into my room. Today is another boring day of high school. A senior and I still cant get up early even to save my life. I groan as my body aches I was so comfortable now I'm all sore and sleepy. What time is it?
The red clock on my wooden table confirms my suspicions it's too early to be up. But I can't sleep now, might as well get up. The old red clock barely rings any more, my constant slamming of the snooze button must have broken it. Groggily looking at the mirror I stare at my reflection. An average plain girl stands in front of me. Pale soft skin, sharp straight narrow nose, a slim hourglass figure at 5'6, long curly light strawberry blond hair that reaches down my midsection, plump soft luscious pink lips and murky emerald green eyes. I'm wearing a blue nightgown but from all the tossing and turning it crumpled up. I sigh as I get dressed taking care to put on my black skinny jeans, beanie, my favorite green hoodie and my converses. I straighten my long curly hair and add my earrings back in my ears. I can't stand sleeping with them in. As I make my way downstairs I hear my mom drop a plate. The blue shattered remains cover the granite floor.
"You alright?"
"Yes sweetie don't forget to eat breakfast, don't want to be late for school." My moms golden curls bounce as she tries to pick up the remains,her baby blue eyes seem to shine. My mother smiles but the corners of her mouth stay tight. Her real smile left years ago nowadays all she ever does it fake it. My parents think I can't hear them arguing constantly. My father works as one of the shadow cabinet members of the Queen and my mother is a stay at home mom, she used to be a model until she met my father and had me.
"I'm going" I grab my backpack of their Granite table.
"Without breakfast" She frowns crossing her arms over her lavender dress.
"I'm not hungry" I fake a smile.
"You never eat, is something wrong?" She frowns
Everything is! I'm tired of pretending everything's fine! But I bite my tongue. "No I'm still tired, and I'm grabbing a snack at the liquor store" I dash out the door before she can further interrogate me. School is only a block from my house walking down the street I see brightly colored houses and perfectly cut green houses. Like something out of a tv show. I smile as I make my way into the tiny liquor store, making my way through the narrow aisles I find the sweets section. I try not to slobber imagining the taste of chocolate on my taste buds .
"What kind of rubbish is this!?" I stop and see a short little boy in the same aisle poking at the candy and its wrappers. He had short dark navy blue hair, beautiful blue eyes, and oddly an eye patch on his right eye and he wore an elegant blue suit while he sported a small black cane. He seemed to glare at me when I looked at him.
"It's candy just pick one and be done"
"What rubbish! I specifically asked that unruly gentleman to assist me in finding the Phantomhive candy." The kid glared at the confused worker, while he waited for me to look for it. I stared at him confused.
"You want me to look for it?"
"It's quite troubling that you're not a very bright young lady. Suppose you don't have to be" The kid shook his head while he rubbed his temples.
Seems he never had to do things for himself. Such a smart mouth brat! Maybe he's one of the other cabinet members kids. Must are stuck up since their parents are in such high positions in the British government. I could never be. But after searching sadly I come up empty handed.
"Pick this one, this and this" I hand him a few chocolate bars. "Sorry but you should google this Phantomhive candy to see which stores sell it."
The kid's eyes harden. "What nonsense are you spewing?! What's this google and how shall it help me locate my company?"
"If your faded kid I understand but I got to go."
"Who are you calling a child and what are you insinuating?! I demand you explain this google to me!" The child followed me around but I ignored him and continue to grab some breakfasts snacks.
"Maybe later" I plug in my earphones and walk away. I look at the kid one last time. He seems to glare at me as I walk away. What a weird little kid. He's definitely on something.
