7:30 A.M.
Markov Residence
Tara groaned of annoyance as the alarm woke her up. She hated to wake up early in the morning, actually, who does?
"5 more minutes please?" she mumbled. But the alarm just wouldn't give up, the damn thing. She groaned again as she tried to force herself out of bed.
"Alright alright you win!" After she surrendered, Tara slammed the off button and dragged her feet towards her closet with her remaining strength. See? This is why people shouldn't wake up early in the morning, you would feel like your energy has been sucked out but hey, that's life for ya.
While going through her clothes, thoughts began to race in her mind. School already huh? It feels like yesterday that she and her friends went out to celebrate their freedom, now it's going to be 9 months of overdosed homework, tests, projects, pain-in-the-ass teachers, dealing with classmates you can't stand all that LOVELY stuff that makes everyone want to go back to school. Well basically, Tara prays in her mind that her remaining 2 years of school will go by quickly and will soon be off to college, not only high school but to also never having to deal with her father's constant nagging.
Now, Tara never really cared about fashion but might as well look good to make a first impression on the first day of school.
As she changed out of her PJs, Tara put on a black tee with a sky-blue jacket over it, a pair of her favorite jeans, and for the finishing touches, after combing her hair out, Tara added in her favorite butterfly clip. Yep, Nothing like wearing your favorite outfit to brighten up your day.
"YOUNG LADY HURRY UP IN THERE! IT'S 15 MINUTES TO 8! YOU DON'T WANT TO BE MARKED TARDY ON YOUR FIRST DAY!"
Although… a parent yelling at you to hurry the hell up can turn down your good vibes. Tara sighed of annoyance from her father's impatientness. She knew this would happen, once school starts, her father will be tailing her for every little thing. Well, he always had done that during the summertime too but not as bad.
She angrly walked towards her open door and yelled a reply to her father.
"FOR THE LAST TIME! CLASS DOESN"T OFFICIALLY START 'TILL 8:20! I HAVE PLENTY OF TIME! JUST WAIT!!"
Tara angrily slammed the door and while going back to look for her backpack, she massaged her temples from the tense.
"God he's going to be the death of me I just know it."
Grabbing her backpack, Tara rushed out of her room and ran down the stairs into the kitchen.
Once she got there, she sees her dad at the dining table doing the usual, figuring out plans and agreements for his next meeting. Tara didn't like the idea of him working all the time. I mean, sure, being the big man of the Markov Industries can included the amount of pressure and tense from work but for once can he get a break so he can spend time with his only child? Well actually, he had 3 but 2 had already gone off to college and someday after graduating, would work in the family business. Though at the same time, him being distracted by work can be a good thing to Tara. It's better than being yelled at 24\7.
Looking up at his daughter who was grabbing a pop-tart as breakfast-to-go, he said-
"Is that all you're eating? That's not enough."
Here we go again, Tara thought and rolled her eyes at her father. "It is for me."
"But look how skinny you look! Try to put some food in you! You're 16 for god sakes you don't need me to tell you to eat!"
Oh for the love of- "Dad, I've always look like this for all my life. It's not like I'm sick or something."
"Not NOW but later you will. Don't say I told you so when you're in a hospital bed."
Tara rolled her eyes again. "Whatever, look, you keep saying we're going to be late. Well let's go then!" Tara said as she bit of a part of the pop-tart.
As her father grabbed his things for work, he and Tara went into the garage and got inside the car.
On the way to school, Mr. Markov has been telling Tara what he expected from her for school.
"-and remember, not too much TV or computer. You have to study more if you want to get in a better college like your brothers. You're in 11th grade now this is serious. You need to be focus on the S.A- Tara are you even listening to me? T-"
He was interrupted by a faint sound from his right and turns around to see Tara listening to her ipod in high volume, knowing that she did it on purpose to drown him out.
"Teenagers"he grumbled.
Tara heard the remark but brushed it off as the relaxing music comes through her ears.
Parents
As they arrived to Jump City High, Tara said her goodbyes to her father and watches him drive off.
Tara walked around the area to try to find her friends before classes start. She whipped out her watch, which read 8:05.
"Hmmm, 15 more minutes. I guess I have time."
She gazed around the big crowds of students and so far nothing. Though, 5 minutes later, she spotted a couple of students a little far away from her.
One was a boy no older than 16 who had jet-black hair, sapphire eyes, peach skin, and was wearing a red sweatshirt with a pair of old jeans and converse. Next to him was a girl who's skin had a little darken tone than the boy, fire-red hair, emerald eyes, and her violet-red v-neck shirt and flip-flops and light red skirt brought out her happy personality. With them was a girl who had jet-black hair as well, fair skin, and was wearing a grey shirt with some sort of logo, dark-blue jeans, and converse as well. Another male student who was African American ran into the group with some sort of sport hoodie and a pair of regular jeans as well. As they were chatting around, the red-hair spotted something in the north direction, which she immediately recognized as-
"TARA!" she cried out as she ran towards Tara direction.
Tara giggled at her friend's excitement for her appearance. "Hey ko-RRIII!!"
Ah yes, she should've seen it coming. How long has it been since Kori had given her famous strong hugs.
"Oh how I missed you! It's been so long, how are you?! How was the trip?!"
"Uh Kori? Do you mind letting me go so I can talk and breathe?"
"Oh sorry. I do not know my own strength." Kori apologized as she let go of Tara.
"It's okay Kori, I'm pretty much used to." She replied but then notices Dick, Rachel, and Victor coming their way.
"Well hey there Barbie, nice of you to finally come back. I had to deal with stick boy over there to help me out with football over the summer since you weren't here." Vic joked though Dick got annoyed.
"Oh shut up Vic. I told you I didn't want to play."
"Yeah but better than spending your summer with Mr. Wayne right?" Vic said with an eyebrow raised up.
"Well..."
"Anyway-" as Rachel interrupted Richard. "How was the trip Tara? So boring that you wish you were in hell right now as you told us?"
"Pretty much yeah, not to mention I had to spend my last days of freedom by helping out unloading our things from our trip."
"Well your summer may be crappy but at least you finally get to see-"
"YO STONE!!"
Hearing his name, Vic and the others turned around to see their friend Karen.
Vic groans. "Man what the hell does the girl want? I'll see you later guys." As he says his goodbyes, Vic ran up to Karen and once again, the two spatted a little over something silly.
"I'm surprised they're still together." Rachel remarks.
"Same here." Tara and Dick agreed in union while Kori agreed with an mhm.
"Well, I better get going too. I need to find my classes."
"Okay, see you Tara." Dick Replied.
"Later!" and off she went.
"You know, I am surprised that Tara does not look excited for today. Does she not know that he is coming?"
"Kori, don't you remember? We couldn't tell Tara that time she was in Markovia because of the bad connection there. Dick tried a few times but nothing." Rachel stated.
"Well won't she be surprised. And I mean REALLY surprised." Dick predicted then.
And with that, the gang went their separate ways to find their new classes, hoping for today, and not to mention the rest of their junior year, to be a decent one.
So what'd you think so far?! Yes, No, Maybe???:3 Well, it's going to take awhile for me to start on chapter 3 cause already I'm piled up with school crap and let me tell you, I'm getting a headacheDX Wish me luck~
