Chapter Two

Alexis's POV

I woke up to a very loud and annoying sound. The noise was coming from Sophie's room at 7:30 in the freaking morning. I don't know why she thought it would be a good idea to disturb others while they were trying to sleep. 

Said noise was a song, A Justin Bieber one. Flatline was blaring through her speakers. Boy I wish I could flatline, maybe then I could actually get some peaceful sleep. 

I really don't know why girls go crazy about Justin Bieber. I mean sure he was cute back when he first started music but he's not all that!

I prefer Rihanna, Her lyrics just speak to me. But no, my sister can't even get behind me with music taste. She says that my choice in music is just as my taste in clothes, indicating that it was "terrible".

I crawl up from my warm bed with my hair looking like I stuck a fork in an outlet and make my way to the next room to find the door wide open. Sophie was inside singing along at the top of her voice with a hairbrush in her hand, as her imaginary microphone.

I enter Sophie's room and walk towards her, "Isn't it too early for this madness?" I asked the wannabe singer.

"Nope," she said not bothering to turn around to look at me, This is becoming a habit of hers. "You need to start waking up early. Seriously, I think you're gaining some pounds, thank God your summer is over." she continued, now staring at me. 

"Don't remind me." I couldn't help but let a scowl show itself on my face. "I have to see that wench once more, I'm just glad it's senior year. I really can't wait to graduate." I sigh.

"Well you wouldn't have a problem with her if you just change up your look a little." Sophie commented and i rolled my eyes.

"I don't want to hear it." I say waving my hand and turn to leave. " I'm going to make breakfast since mom hasn't arrived yet, her shift ends 8am."

"Okay, I want pancakes and orange juice and please go brush your teeth" Sophie ordered then giggled. I didn't respond to her. 

A few minutes later I was drying off from a quick shower. My black long skirt and my long sleeved top was laying on the counter in the bathroom and I changed into them. Yes I dress nerdy at home too because I just feel comfortable its who I am. 

As soon as I'm downstairs I head to the kitchen to make pancakes. A short while later I was setting the food on the table and the doorbell rang. 

I unlock the front door and swing it open to find my mom standing on the outside. 

"Hey sweetie" mom said as she walked in. "I left my house key at the store by mistake." She laughed and looked at me embarrassed. I laughed and gave her a hug.

"How's the store?" I ask with a never fading smile. 

"We are still a little bit short on staff but George said he'd be able to handle it." and by her expression it seemes she enjoyed the night at the bakery and she brought home some donuts.

"Sophie! Moms home." I yell up to my sister and wait a few seconds, no response. "There's doughnuts!" I yell again and as expected Sophie was in view within seconds. 

She stalked into the room in her bathrobe and yanked the bag of doughnuts from my hands. Donuts are Sophie's favorite she would kill for them.

"Soph, that's for you and your sister, so don't go crazy." mom warned but she ignored the warning.

"Sophie keep that for later let's have pancakes." I tell her hoping she will spare some for me. 

"Who said I can't have both?" my sister replied as she stuffed her second one into her mouth. Though my sister was trendy she also ate a lot but it just doesn't show because she works out.

"Girls since today is the last day of summer vacation we will be going to the mall to pick up a few things and I want you guys to go shopping but don't get too crazy." My mom smiled at Sophie.

Sophie let out a squeal of excitement. 

"I don't want to go." I deadpanned, Sophie's expression went from joy to annoyed within a millisecond and she stared at me with evil eyes.

"Why don't you? You never want to go and that's why you never have anything good to wear!" She hissed at me while maintaining her stare.

"How is me not going affecting you? You can knock yourself out!" I say more calmly than I wanted to sound.

"Whatever I don't care." She spat taking her plate and donut pack and walking away. We always end up like this whenever the idea of a mall comes up so I just leave the dining table and head straight up to my room because I didn't want to show that I'm hurt in front of my mom.

I just lay on my bed thinking about what she said and she was right I never get interested in the mall because I think it's unnecessary to akways shop for new clothes I prefer the ones that I have. 

A few hours later I'm sitting on the sofa watching Parent Trap. I've enjoyed this movie since I was young. 

Boy was it funny when my mom and sister walked in. Soph had so many bags you could barely see the girl holding them all so I went to go help her with them. 

When I dropped them on her bed and turn to leave when she called me back "Here those are yours!"

This was why I loved her so much, no matter our issues we never stayed mad long. I turn and she gives me four bags and I pulled her into a hug and she smiles.

"Thank you Sophie," I thanked. "But what did you get for me"? I curiously asked but she chose to ignore my question. I open the bags when I get to my room and find some dresses, trousers and some half tops, which she called cropped tops. I took everything and shoved them inside my closet. 

After a long day of doing nothing I decided to play some more Sudoku. I'm going to have to buy another book of it soon, I'm almost finished with the 'super difficult' section.
