THE MAFIA'S CAPTIVE ANGEL

Normani Parker

Lazily, I rolled out of the warm and cozy bed when I heard the sound of the marvelous alarm clock.

Note the sarcasm.

I slam my hand on my stupid alarm, yelling for me to go to school. I feel so lazy today. Who am I kidding? I feel lazy every day. I curled into a ball and went under the sheets, pressing my head on my comfortable pillow.

While letting out a disapproving groan, l lifted me from the bed. After tying up my room, I dragged myself to the bathroom, slamming the door I turned on the shower, waited for it to get to the right temperature before taking off my pgs and hoping to shower, and ended up shaving my legs. Twenty minutes later, I came out with wet hair and a smile like vanilla.

I chose a blue jumpsuit that reached my mid-thigh and had a bow at the waist because I wanted to stand out. I applied a moisturizer to my face, then a little bit of eyeliner, making my blue eyes pop out, and also applied my strawberry lipgloss. I tied my medium blond hair into a ponytail, bringing out a little bit of hair on both sides of my face. I put on my black flats and walked out of my room to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee, adding two scoops of French caramel cream and two spoons of sugar.

Yummy.

I went back to the room to get my phone and a black bag with coffee in it. I checked the time and saw that it was already 9:00 a.m. and my class starts at 10. I drank my coffee in a hurry, grabbing an apple and eating it. I didn't bother knocking on Stephanie's room because I knew she would be in school since she had an early class this morning.

I took my car keys from the counter as I stepped out of the house. I opened the car and quickly climbed in, putting my seatbelt on, then I started my car. I turned on my radio, turning the volume up as I heard my favorite Ariana Grande song, "position," playing. Pulling out of my driveway, I started to head toward the direction of the university.

I found a perfect place to park. I quickly got down from the car and I brought out my phone to check the time, only to find out it was almost 10. I put my phone back in my bag before rushing into the school to get to my first class of the day.

"Hey girl, how was class today?" Steph asked as I stepped into our apartment. We have been best friends forever and now we attend the same college. I am grateful to Steph and her family. After my parents died in a car crash when I was sixteen, Steph's parents took me in and treated me like a daughter. I don't know where I would be without them. They are like my second family.

"Mrs. Williams can be so freaking annoying. I don't know why she picks on me every time. " I complained, plopping down on the couch beside her as I rested my back on the seat.

" She's still a bitch to you. " She asked, getting a nod from me. " She seriously needs to get laid. I doubt her husband is doing a good job at it if she always comes in cranky," Steph replied. I scrunched up my face, not surprised at her response at all. " Speaking of getting laid, it's Friday. Let's go clubbing. "
