Her alarm clock went off at 6:00
and she groggily leaned over from her bed and hit the button to shut it up.
Ugh...school. I so do not need this right now. Not after last night...
Rolling out of bed she grabbed a towel and her robe from her closet and walked
towards the shower, not even bothering to look in the mirror. First she placed
her towel and robe on the counter then pushed back the shower curtain and reached
for the shower handle. Water came pouring from the faucet. * Well might as well
get breakfast while the shower warms up. These old pipes make the water take
forever to get warm. *
She quickly ran downstairs and grabbed a muffin and some cereal, eating it quickly
then ran back upstairs to her bathroom. She placed her hand under the faucet
testing the water. When she was satisfied she undressed and stepped into the
shower.
The hot water felt good against her creamy skin, and she ran her hands through
her hair. When she was finished she turned off the shower, pushed back the curtain
and stepped out and walked towards her mirror. The bathroom was steamy and she
rubbed her hand in a circular motion clearing it up a bit.
She looked at herself in the mirror and took a comb out of the cupboard and
brushed her hair. She took out her blow dryer and began blow-drying her hair
straight when she began to think.
* You know what? I'm not going to let this whole "destiny" thing get me down...
I think I'm going to reinvent myself...yeah I think that's it due time for a
change. Watch out students of West Roswell. Prepared to be amazed! *
Changing her mind about her hair she pulled her curling iron out from under
the sink and began to curl the bottom of her hair. When she was down she looked
into the mirror, fully satisfied with her work. Brushing her teeth and washing
her face she was finished.
Stepping out of her bathroom she felt a wave of confidence fill her. * Oh yeah
this was going be a good day. Start all over and just forget about everything.
Yeah...forget..that way it didn't hurt so much...no she told herself. We are
forgetting about all that stuff and starting our new life today! *
Walking towards her closet she slid open the door and peered in. * Hmm...what
should I wear today? Something to catch attention definitely. Something not
me... *
When she was done she looked at herself in the mirror. She was a knockout. *
I might have outdone myself...nah... * She was wearing tight black leather pants,
a green shimmery backless shirt that crisscrossed down her back, which accented
her eyes, and black heels. She looked hot. She walked to her vanity table, checked
her makeup, and as a last touch put on some shiny lip gloss. She grabbed her
backpack and walked out the door.
She sat in her car, driving to school, with No Doubt blasting from the speakers.
Pulling into the high school parking lot she surveyed the area. All the students
were talking with their friends and walking into the school. Yeah everyone was
here and she had time to make an entrance. Taking a long breath she grabbed
her bag from the backseat and walked towards the doors of the school. She gripped
the door handle and looked down at her hand, and at the perfectly green nail
that matched her outfit. * Last chance to back out...no...I can do this. I'm
confident. I deserve some happiness! * She opened the door and walked into the
school. The High School halls were crowded but that still didn't keep people
from turning around to stare at her. There was a sudden quiet as people turned
to whisper their friends or plain just stand in awe. This was more then she
had hoped for. She smiled to no-one in particular and then suddenly everyone
picked up whatever they had been doing.
She walked down the steps and around the corner to her locker, hearing a few
whistles on the way. She began twirling her lock, when she suddenly heard a
familiar voice call her name.
"MARIA!"
Okay since this is my first fanfic I don't know if
