Selena
"Selena, get out of bed and go to school." I heard my mom yell at me form downstairs for the fifth time. This was getting annoying, so I decided to go to school where I could sleep in peace. I got ready and went downstairs. "When did you cut your hair?" My mom asked me. "This morning. when else?" I asked her as I grabbed a piece of toast off her plate. "I was eating that Selena!" I heard her yell as I was walking out the door. "Whatever, Janice" I yelled back before closing the door. I decided not to take the bus today, so I just walked. I walked into the school doors and started looking for my best friend. "Lena!" I heard Demi shout form somewhere behind me. I turned around and ran to give her a hug. "I haven't seen you in forever!" I told her, over exaggerating, considering that I spent the day with her yesterday. "I know right" she said as we started walking to first period. When we got in class, she noticed my hair cut. "A hair cut? Some new form of rebelling?" She asked me. I laughed "No, its just a haircut this time." I told her. "But look at you, your hair is black, what are you rebelling against?" I asked her.
"Nothing anymore, this was supposed to be pink, next time ill check the writing on a hair dye bottle." She answered and I started laughing. This is why we're best friends, we act almost exactly alike. No one else in this school is like us. After school I walked home alone because Demi had an appointment. I walked inside and no one was home. Thank you guardian angel. I went into the kitchen and fixed myself something to eat. I sat in the couch and watched TV and ate some easy - Mac. I turned off the light and lied down in the couch. In about 2 minutes I'll probably be sleeping.

Ashley
I don't know why they make me go to school everyday. One of these days I'm gonna come home in handcuffs for killing one of those children. When I got downstairs I just looked at my mom. "Yes you have to go today." She said to me with a sympathetic look. If she felt so bad for me, she shouldn't let me go to that place. I started walking up the steps to enter the school entrance, when someone called my name. I looked around to see the queen of the populars coming towards me. "I have a history project due tomorrow, take care of that for me, will you?" She said giving me the papers. "Yeah, whatever." I said walking into the school. None of my friends were there yet, so I had to go to my first classes without any of Vanessa's calming words. At lunch I started walking to my table, when some unknown person tripped me. If this didn't happen almost every day, I probably would have ended up with no lunch.
After being tripped so many times, I've managed to hold my tray at the exact right angle to stop my lunch form spilling. I walked over to a table in the back of the cafeteria. Vanessa and Zac were already sitting there. "Where were you guys this morning? I missed ya'll" I told them sitting down. "Woke up late." Vanessa said. "Wow, you're always early V." I stated. "I know, I was surprised in myself." We laughed.
After school when I got home, my mom and I went through the same routine.
"How was school?" She asked. "Not horrible." I told her walking up the stairs. "Are you eating?" she asked me before I shut my room door. "No, I ate this morning." I told her as I lied down on my bed. Still recovering from my bulimia, I try not to eat too much, so I wont get the urge to bring it back up. I just lied down, turned on my laptop and started on the queen's history project. I must have fell asleep, because the last thing I remember seeing was a computer screen.
