Melody Hathaway.
The shrill sound of the alarm shook me out of my sleep, oh my lord, just ten more minutes of sleep, that's all I asked for,
Ugh. I groaned.
Mondays were the worst days, but today was the beginning of a new semester so I was quite excited to see my friends after the long summer holiday.
"Miss Hathaway, may I come in please?" A quiet voice called out from outside my door,
I kept mute, I was sooo not in the mood for this.
"Miss Hatha-" The voice said after a few minutes,
"Ugh. Just come in, damn" I responded cutting her off, yeah it was rude but I didn't care.
"Okay Miss" She said before she came in,
An average but slender lady appeared in my line of view, wearing a black dress with white trim, with a full skirt at or above knee length. A ruffled White half-apron,and a lace headpiece. Typical maid uniform, I know, but to work for my family, she had to dress like that.
"We should start with the scented bath" She said,
"Umm no, I'm 17 and I'm perfectly sure I can bath myself, and if you wouldn't mind, actually I don't care if you mind. Get out of my room" I replied with an attitude,
"Miss we go through this everyday, it's what Mr Hathaway wants" She responded, her eyes silently pleading with me,
"Do you want to ruin my mood this morning?" I asked, getting up from my bed,
"No miss" she answered,
"Then I suggest you get the fuck out, while you still can" I glared at her,
She scurried out of my room, fear clouding her aura,
"Tch, these maids never learn" I muttered, getting into my bathroom.
After taking my bath I wore a black ripped jeans and a white crop top, sporting a black baseball face cap and a pair of white vans with black stripes.
I did my makeup and I was good to go.
On getting downstairs I saw my family sitted on the table,
Maybe I would be able to sneak past them, but of course, my brother Will just had to call my name,
"Mel...where do you think you're going to? Dad wants to talk to you" Damnit.
Okay so let me introduce you to him here, My dear William.., hope you got that sarcasm,...is my 24 year old brother and my dad's puppet, he literally does everything he says and sometimes I can't help but think he doesn't have a mind of his own like jeez.
I mean last year, he broke up with his girlfriend on their graduation day on the account that My Dad didn't want him to as he put it "Frolick with the commoners", and now next month he's getting married to a bitch with a bad attitude named Arabelle, to my dad she was the perfect stuck up hoe. Ironic.. I know.
I walked, gracefully to the table taking the sit next to my brother, I looked at my plate to be met with the awful sight of vegetables topped with hard boiled eggs cut in half, and some fruits.
Picking up my fork, I poked a kale leaf with it, then stabbed it repeatedly,
"Mel you know your food did nothing to you" Will suddenly said, giving me a shock
"Oh my gosh, you frightened me" I said, holding my chest,
He laughed. "I guess your mind wasn't here",
"No actually I ju-"
"Silence!" My dad yelled effectively shutting me up,
Oh well, here comes the drama.
"I can't believe I have two grown up adults living under my roof that doesn't know the meaning of etiquettes" He continued,
Adults? Man.. I'm seventeen.
"And you William-" Cue the cringing, "I expected more from you"
I don't see why the heck he's getting all worked up, it's just food.
"And Melody, you never learn, you can never be the perfect woman because you chose to live like an improper scum!"
"I think I'm full for now" I said getting up,
"Mel won't you finish your-" my mom started,
Well now she talks.
"Mom, don't" I interupted her, grabbing my bag then leaving, before I opened the door though I heard my dad mutter something along the line "Insolent".
Yeah, I would have cared four years ago.
The fresh morning breeze brushed over my nose giving me a tingly feeling, I walked for like ten minutes until I got to a bench I sat down waiting for my girls.
I waited for like fifteen minutes and they didn't show up. I feel like I should've taken our driver or something.
"Bitchhhhhh" I heard someone yell,
A huge gust of wind blew over and when my sight was cleared I was met with my two best friends inside a blue convertible.
"Don't tell me-" I started saying,
"Oh hell yeah hoee" My friend Sophia said,
"Oh my goshhhhhhh" I squealed,
"Told you she would squeal" Kai said before winking.
Before you get confused Kai is a girl, her and Soph had been my friends since 5th grade when I saved them from Bobbie, our bully at that time, anyways he moved away with his family and the rest is history.
"Your dad finally came through!" I shouted getting into the car,
"Umm..." Soph said,
"Just tell her" Kai sighed,
"Tell me what?" I questioned, picking on my hot pink nails,
"Imayhavekindatrickedmydadintobelievinghe'sraisingfundsforthepoor" she rushed out,
"Okay, take a deep breath and speak" Kai advised,
"I told my dad we were raising funds for the poor" Soph said looking guilty.
"So? I would've bagged him for more if I had the opportunity" I replied, yeah I'm a bad friend, and I don't care,
"Wow, okay, thought you would be angry but again okay" I Soph responded,
"So umm, are we driving this baby or not?" I asked,
"We are taking this bitch on the road famm" Sophie yelled,
"Hell yeah" We yelled in unison, laughing at our craziness.
Well..you only live once I guess.
