Clare
I feel a nudge on my shoulder "Clare, sweetie get up "my mom says, my vision becomes clear and I face my alarm clock, its 6:10."No, five more minutes, mom" I grumble tugging my bed sheets on top of me. "No Clare, I have to take your father to the hospital for a check up" my mom says in a serious tone. I growl silently and get up. The first place I enter is the bathroom; I splash my face with water and then enter into the shower. As I come out of the shower I look at my purity ring, my dad lied about himself but I won't be like him, I touch the cross around my neck and kiss it gently.
"Clare five minutes, hurry up, were already running late. There's some toast for you already in the table" My mom yells at me. I quickly pick out a green shirt with some denim shorts; I comb my hair a bit and go down to the kitchen. My mom's wearing a tan shirt with some old jeans; she's busy getting some paperwork ready. I sit down to the table where my toast and orange juice are, my dad is right in front of me eating cereal, he smiles at me and I just look down at my toast. After I finish my toast I swiftly gulp all the juice down and tell my mom I am ready for my lift to school."Oh Clare, honey I'm afraid you're going to have to go walking to school today, I just don't have enough time to take you today" she says pointing to the clock which reads 7:25
"Mom, but, mom" I say in a enraged tone"Oh come on Clare you can make it to school on your own" she replies while juggling with her coffee and my father's medical papers.
"Fine "I pronounce as I head out the door
As I walk down the steps I could hear my mother "Bye Clare, have a nice day"
I know I am being inconsiderate with my mom but I just can't stand that my dad is still in our home and is almost being treated like a king after what he did. I mean come on the man could gather his own medical papers, it's not like he can't move.
Adam
Today I had one of the worst arguments with my mom; I couldn't be with her one more minute so I told my brother Drew that I would be walking to school. He tried to convince me not too but at the end he surrendered. I am about to get to the corner of school, when I see a girl with cinnamon colored hair huffing and puffing furiously, I guess I'm not the only one who woke up to a bad day. I quickly run over to her side " Hi I am Adam "I tell her, she gives me a look signalling to get way but before I get to to leave she says "Hi I'm Clare"
I start thinking Clare...Clare...that sounds familiar. Bing...oh of course Eli told me about her in the Death hand concert. I then ask "Are you ok, you seem a bit I don't know out of the day?" She stares at me for a second probably thinking if I'm the kind to trust."Uh, no I'm fine" she says in a silent, trembling voice, I know for sure she's lying but I take it's something pretty serious, so I start to talk to her about the book "How to kill a mocking bird" I know for sure she's read it because Eli said she was his English partner and was very serious with her work, and they had recently started to read the book.
We got to school rather quickly I guess I had really been caught in the conversation. I said goodbye to Clare and went on into my class.
