Hello!
Look, I'm writing a few things and rewriting others so if you like you can read the story again. I just added some things to the chapters and added to new. Hope you understand, it is for making Ella a more believable character.
And thanks to my new beta, DnCnChIcK369!!!! Thank God I found one, if not this story would be really bad…
Enjoy:

"Ella! This is the last time I'll tell you to get up. You have half an hour to get ready," my mom said.
"Mom," I mumbled, turning around in my bed.
"Come on. It's Friday," she continued.
"Mom."
"Don't 'Mom' me. If you want Rosemary spend the night tomorrow you have to get up. Breakfast is ready," she finished, leaving my room.
"Life is so unfair," I muttered, sitting up in my bed. 'Dang it!' I thought. It was 7:35 and my aunt Mae had the round today. She was going to pick me up in fifteen minutes.
I climbed out of bed. As I made my way to my bathroom, I stepped on a necklace with a pointed rock that I hadn't bothered to pick up yesterday.
"Crap!" I shouted, grabbing my foot. "Ugh!" I entered the bathroom, took a quick bath, and went back out.
"I can't see anything," I said, turning on the light. My room was a mess!
"Lily!" I shouted, looking in my closet for something to wear. Nine minutes left.
"Yes, miss?" our maid, Lily, asked, appearing at my door.
"Could you please clean this mess? If my mother sees this, she'll ground me. I'm lucky that when she came in earlier, she didn't turn on the lights," I said, choosing a white t-shirt and purple shorts to wear.
"Of course, miss. You don't have to ask. I'll clean it as soon as you go."
"Thanks, Lil," I said.
"You're welcome, miss," she replied turning around to leave.
"Oh, and Lily?" I asked.
"Yes, miss?"
"It's Ella," I said, smiling.
"Of course, Ella," she smiled back and left, closing the door behind her.
I sighed. Lily was twenty-four years old and hadn't had the opportunity to study. My mother had hired her four years ago. She was like family to us, but she still didn't quite grasp the idea of calling me 'Ella'. I put on my clothes, grabbed my backpack, and went downstairs.
"Good morning," I announced. Mom was serving some hotcakes and Dad was leaving.
"Good morning, sleepy head," Dad said. He gave a kiss to Mom and then he kissed my forehead. "I have to go. Have a good day!"
"Sit down, Ella," Mom said.
"No, Mom. I'll just drink some juice. My aunt is about to co-" I started to say, but was cut off when I heard the honk of my aunt's car.
"Well, the juice is forgotten," I said sarcastically as I closed the fridge.
"Eat something," my mom insisted.
"Don't worry, Mom. I'll eat something at the cafeteria," I assured her.
"Have a good day, pay attention, and don't get in trouble," Mom said, kissing my forehead like Dad had.
"Bye, Mom! Don't forget Lyra, Emma, and I are going to the mall after school," I said, already at the door.
"Yes, but come home early. Have a good day," she said, waving. She said she wanted me home early because I was going to be with Lyra and Emma. She didn't like them. But if it had been Rosemary, Jane, Angie, or Annemarie she wouldn't say anything. Apparently, Lyra and Emma were a bad influence over me.
"Hey," I greeted my aunt and my cousins, Rosemary and Annemarie.
"Hello."
"Hullo."
"Hi."
I smiled. Soon, we were at Westminster High School. "Behave," my aunt told us, driving away. Annemarie made her way to Middle School and we kept going toward the High School.
"So, basketball game at free period?" Rose asked me. I liked basketball, but she loved it.
"Sorry, Rose. Got to go to the library," I answered, smiling apologetically.
"Oh, you and your love for books. I really don't see what you like about them," she replied. She loves basketball and hates the library.
"Well, they are my liking, not yours. My problem," I said, gesturing toward myself.
She laughed. "True," she commented. The bell rang and we went to our different classes. She was a year older than me, so she was an eleventh grader. I was a tenth grader, and Annemarie was a seventh grader.

Four hours later I was sitting in the library doing some questions for Science that were supposed to be for homework. I hadn't even started. I didn't told Rosemary the real reason I needed to come to the library so that she wouldn't spill it. She was good, but if she forgot she wasn't supposed to tell anyone about it, she would let it slip.

"Doing homework, Ella?" David Stewart asked, sitting next to me. God! And I thought I was alone! David had black hair and blue eyes. He was in Rose's year.
"Yes, got a problem with that?" I snapped. He was usually nice, but sometimes he was just... you know what I mean. I used to like him, but not anymore.
"Not really. Just came to tell you that I'm having a party tomorrow night," he said.
"And?" I prompted.
"You're invited," he said with a tone that said "It's obvious."
"Oh. Another one? Your parents made you one two months ago, didn't they?" I asked. Rosemary had scolded me for not going.
"Yes. But this one is a party for business. Your dad probably told you already."
"Um… he mentioned something about that. Yes, we are going. My mom and I have my cousin's bridal shower, but that's in the afternoon, so yes, we're going. But, if we are already invited, why are you 'inviting' me now?" I asked, not sure where this was leading
"I was thinking we could go like a date, you know," he replied, blushing.
"I…I don't know," I said.
"Come on. It's just a date. Nothing else. Please?" he said with puppy eyes.
"All right. With one condition, though," I replied.
"What?" he asked, sighing.
"Don't tell the guests I'm your date," I said.
"All right. See you tomorrow," he said, giving me a kiss on the cheek.
"Bye," I said. That boy had nerve!
After school, Lyra, Emma, and I went to the mall. We spent the whole afternoon looking in all the stores. We talked about what was happening to us at home and what was cool about school.
I left at 7:00 o'clock. When I arrived home, Mom was waiting for me.
"I said early."
"I know Mom, but we lost track of time," I said, justifying myself.
"Your dad called. He'll be coming home late. So it's just you and I who are going to eat dinner," she said, flipping a page of a magazine.
"All right. I'm going to wash my hands," I informed her and went to my room.
Dinner passed quickly and then Mom turned on the TV and we watched a program about criminals. Law and Order, I think it was called. And then it was 9:30. I was supposed to be asleep at 9:00 in order to wake up early tomorrow, but I was half an hour late.
"Good night, Mom," I told her, kissing her cheek.
"Good night, honey. Love you," Mom told me.
"Love you, too," I said.
I went to my room and took a bath. After that, I climbed onto bed. I took out the Bible and start reading where I had left off the night before. After twenty minutes, I stopped reading, left the book on my desk, and went to sleep.
