ONE
KARLA
The sound of the blaring alarm wakes me up from my beautiful sleep that is the best night ever but I was frustrated as it won't stop until I stretch my hands out of the duvet and push the damn button to switch it off.
I will just throw it to the wall and allow it to scatter to pieces before going back to sleep but mom gave me a serious warning about the fact she won't be getting me a new one if I destroy the new one she just got me.
I stretch my hand to the nightstand and stop the annoying alarm before using the duvet to cover my face and I went back to sleep but not too long I hear a loud bang from the door and I jumped off my bed holding the pillow scared. How can a human knock like that knowing full well I guess must still be sleeping?
"Karla, I won't let you get me fired today, I give you five minutes or you will have to find your way to school and you understand what that means. You are going to trek a whole mile" and that my mom, the wonderful one that gave birth to sleeping beauty. She shouts as she always does every morning, I sigh in relief knowing the monster hasn't sneaked into our home.
"Yes Mommy, "I said and collapse back on the bed, the sleep already vanishes and I feel so tired and weak right now. Mom is sure a thing.
We are resuming a new semester today but I'm not just interested in going to school today because I am such a sleep lover. Don't get me wrong I am not lazy but sometimes you just wake up one day and feels like sleeping all day.
I missed my friend Hannah, but we spent all summer break together and I will always get to see her because she only lives few blocks away from mine.
I quickly rush into the bathroom and grab my brush.
As I finish brushing my teeth, I shower in my fruity scented body wash and I quickly dress up for school which is wearing a flay skirt and a white shirt.
I pick up my thick waist-length hair into a ponytail. I do pack my hair up because I don't want my friends making a big story about the length of my hair and mom refused to let me have trim if for a reason only best known to her.
"Karla, I'm running late"Mum's's angry voice brings me back to reality and I quickly grab my backpack and hurry out of the room.
"I wish you change, any way you will have your sandwich in the car," she said and before I could say anything, she grabs my younger brother Alex and they both head to the door so I quickly took a bite of my sandwich and gulp down the milk before rushing out to join them in the car and she drives to my school first which is a bit far from my little brother own.
"Morning Karla" Alex greets and I scatter his hair immediately I settle into the car before my mom took off
"I knew I shouldn't have greeted you" he frowns as he arranges his hair back and smiled and also caught mom smiling at her children. That just me and Alex for you.
My mom is the best wish I've been granted from heaven. Even after Dad passed away, she stood strong for us and never let us down. She is not willing to let go of us when my father family requested to help by taking me away but she rejected the offer.
"Be a good girl in school okay?"My mom said as she halted the car in front of WESLEY'S COLLEGE, I hate that school so much. It either I'm bullied or those stupid girls trying to get me into trouble or I was set up by my classmates which y and I can't even say it to my mom because she will report to the school management which will land me into another extra trouble.
Sometimes I end up doing assignments for the girls or running errands for them. Hannah hated it but I plead with her every time it occurs to let things go because it will only create a scene that won't favor me.
They are popularly known as Pink angel, I wonder what type of school allow some set of student dye their hair in pink and won't even say a word about it.
I was walking into the school when I suddenly stopped. "Shit I forgot my tie, today is going to help here was lk III the school making sure no teacher sees and the worst, the pink angels.
"Karla" I heard my name and I turned to see Hannah coming from the school gate.
"Hey keep it low," I said as I drag her by her wrist and we walk in.
"What wrong with you?"She asked but she didn't hold back instead she kept following me.
"I'm not in a tie and you know what that means, "I said and she suddenly jerks her hands off and Stopped.
"Like seriously Karla? this is a new semester and all this shit is happening? The pink angels again? Karla grows up "Shesscolded
"You know I don't like getting into trouble my reputation is bad enough," I said and she sighs.
"Fine, take mine," she said and loosen her tie and stretch it to me.
"What are you_"
"Just take it, "She said forcing it into my hand and I smiled before knotting it.
"Thanks," I said.
"I don't know when you will grow up, probably you should get a boyfriend," She said and I scoff.
"Like anyone will like someone like me?"I muttered.
"Whatever let go get our schedules she said and wrapped her hand around my neck bending my neck down and I laugh.
"Let go of me" I kick her and she let go and laughed.
"Get a boyfriend and stop been childish, you might even get to experience that hot steamy s*x you only read in novels," she said and I roll my eye.
"Whatever"
"I heard the school admit a transferred student who knows whether he_"
"That won't happen in my dream and neither in my present life so can we stop talking about this," I said and she laughs.
"Whatever," She said and we both drop our back into the locker.
"I heard he is hot," she said and I shut the locker angrily making some loud bang, and that attract student attention for a sec.
"Can you stop talking about him? What if he doesn't even show up"I roll my eye and grab my biology before walking away leaving her alone.
She should be thankful the pink angels are not in school yet. I was kinda free and happy, I wish they never existed.
