Our New Life
Chapter 1: New Beginnings
"Tommy, are you awake?" his mother, Didi Pickles, called from his bedroom. He lay in only dark blue boxers with the sheets covering his entire body minus one leg.
"Tommy!" called Didi louder knocking louder also.
Tommy sat up quickly and looked toward the door. "I'm up mom!" he called back. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes then stood up, slowly making his way to the dresser across the room.
"Breakfast is ready and school's in half an hour", said his mother before heading back to the kitchen.
Tommy grumbled about having to wake up at six-thirty because schoolwas so early while opening a drawer in the dresser and pulling out a dark green short-sleeved t-shirt and a long sleeved white shirt throwing them on the bed. He opened another drawer pulling out a pair of dark blue jeans with the thighs faded and threw that on the bed too. He then went to his bed and got on his knees to look under. He pulled a pair of black and white hightop converse sneakers. Tommy began to get dressed. Putting on the jeans, then the white shirt, then green shirt, followed by the converses. He exited his bedroom across the hall to he and his brother, Dil's, bathroom. Tommy brushed his teeth then brushed his purple hair and geled it into a few spikes here or there then left for his bedroom. He grabbed his black backpack heading back out, once again, for the kitchen.He sat in his seat and began eating.
"Hey T", said Dil just noticing his older brother had joined them at the table. A mumbled 'hey' was his reply. "It's the newschool year. Aren't you excited?" Dil asked trying to get Tommy to say something.
"Hnn".
"What about everyone else? They happy about going to high school?"
"How would I know?". Tommy stood up from the table, having finished his meal, and walked out of the front door with a simple 'later' as a goodbye. Didi sighed. "Dil, you better be going or you'll be late for school", she said taking Tommy's, Dil's, and her plate to the sink. Dil grabbed his backpack, said goodbye, then walked out of the door.
Lil had woken up at five-thirty that morning to get ready for her first day of high school. She had asked her twin brother, Phil, if he wanted her to wake him and he said five minutes before they had to leave. She had already set out her outfit. It consisted of a pink short-sleeved t-shirt with 'diva' written across the chest in gold-print that hugged her newly-formed chest snuggly, a black skirt thatstopped mid-thighand hugged her newly-formed hips, fishnet stockings, and black boots that stopped mid-leg. She also wore five silver bangles on each wrist, a gold ring on each ring and pointer finger, and three gold necklaces one with small beads spelling out 'Lilian' in the front.
It took Lil half an hour to get dressed. After she was finished with that task, she started on her hair and make-up. Forty-five minutes later, Lil had styled her blonde-streaked brown hair into a spiked side-ponytail with the back down and a lock of blonde hanging on either side of her face. Her make-up consisted of a small amount of blush, a bit of mascara, gold eyeliner, silver eyeshadow, silver lip liner, and a soft gold lipstick.After finishing that she brushed her teeth then went downstairs in the kitchen to find her mother, Betty, and father, Howard, sitting at the table eating their breakfast. She kissed both their cheeks before eating a piece of toast and drinking a glass of orange juice.
"Well don't you look...", started Betty before her husband cut her off with "Amazing!"
"Thanks", said Lil setting her empty glass in the sink.
"Don't you want anything else to eat? Breakfast is the most important meal of the day", said Howard motioning for his daughter to take a piece of bacon.
"No thanks".
"What about some eggs? Or a biscuit and sausage?"
"I've gotta get Phil". Lil headed back up the stairs to her brother's bedroom and walked in, not bothering to knock.
"Get up Phil!" she yelled at the mess of sheets on his bed, knowing her twin was hidden somewhere in the mess. There was a muffled groan coming from the foot of the bed so she turned toward it. Phil arose from his laying position to a sitting one.
"What?" he asked slightly angered that he had been awaken from a dreamworld in which summer never ended.
"You've got ten minutes to get ready for school", Lil replied looking through her brother's dresser for something decent for him to wear. "Aha!" she exclaimed finding some khakis shorts and a dark blue t-shirt. she threw them in his, once again sleeping, face, instantly waking him.
"Watch it!" he hissed obviously showing he wasn't a morning person.
"Get dressed. I don't wanna be late", responded his sister leaving the room to get her backpack. He quickly dressed then found his favorite white k-swiss hidden under a discarded piece of clothing and putting them on. He grabbed his backpack, rushed into the bathroom to brush his teeth and hair, then ran to the kitchen noticing he had four minutes to get to school. He stuffed a piece of toast and a few strips of bacon into his mouth, waved goodbye to his parents, then ran out of the door to find his sister already walking toward the bus stop.
Kimi, similar to Lil, had awoken at six that morning, along with her brother, Chuckie. Kimi had gotten dressed, put on her make-up, brushed her teeth and hair,and was now seated at the kitchen table eating breakfast with her parents, Keira(A/N sorry if that's spelled wrong) and Charles Sr. Her outfit was a simple long-sleeved green t-shirt underneath a pink t-shirt with 'You Wish' written on the front in silver-print and a gold genie lamp underneath the words, a pair of light blue jeans, and a pair of white k-swiss. Her make-up was simple also. Being just a little blush, some gold eyeliner, and some shiny lip gloss. Her pink-streaked black hair was brushed into a sloppy side ponytail. Every since she and Z had broken up over the summer, she wasn't into dressing herself up anymore. She wasn't into talking that much either.
Chuckie was still upstairs even though he knew he had ten minutes to get to school. Similar to his younger sister, he wasn't one to be dressy or talk. Although he would still dress nicely. He was now sitting at his desk IMing a girl he had met on a chat website. He wore a white long-sleeved t-shirt underneath a black one, even though it was warm outside, black slacks, black k-swiss, and a silver dog tag chain with his name inscribed on it. He no longer need his glasses since he now wore contacts and he had had his braces taken off showing his straight pearly whites. He had finished getting ready thirty minutes after he woke up and had been sitting at the computer since.
Meanwhile, downstairs his sister and parents had finished their meal and were reading. Charles looked up at the clock.
"Kimi, you should go wake up Chuckie", he said pointing toward the wall clock. Kimi nodded slightly then went upstairs to her brother's bedroom. She knocked loud enough for him to hear.
"Yeah?" he called not turning away from the screen.
Kimi opened the door and said "School".
"Be there in a sec". Kimi shrugged as if she didn't care whether or not he followed then walked downstairs and out of the front door. Chuckie logged off of the computer then followed his sister to the bus stop.
Angelica awoke an hour before school started and got herself together quickly so she could arrive early. She wore a pair of purple shorts and a matching purple short-sleeved shirt and matching purple one-strap sandals. She also had on a white leather jacket unzipped with the collar upturned and a silver charm bracelet with five charms attached. For breakfast she had a double-mocha latte which she drank while driving to school. She stopped at a light to see her cousin and his friends standing at the bus stop.
"Hey! You want a ride?" she asked feeling sorry for the freshmen who would have to endure freshmen hell week.
Tommy walked over to the car and got in the front passenger seat. Chuckie followed shortly behind sitting behind Tommy. Kimi sat next to her brother and Lil sat next to Kimi. Phil was the last one to get in and his squeezed in behind Angelica. Angelica waited until the light turned green then drove off. They reached their school two minutes before the bell rang. Angelica and Chuckie already had their new schedules and just walked to their first class of the day. While the freshmen, Tommy Phil Lil and Kimi, made their way to the office to get their schedules and their locker combinations. Once that was finished, they went their separate ways.
