章 2: The regular girl
There's that beeping sound again. That accursed sound telling me it's time to start this accursed day.
I groaned but still didn't open my eyes, maybe if I ignore it it'll go away.
But it just kept beeping, it just wouldn't shut up.
So I did what any reasonable and responsible teenager would do, no I didn't turn it off and get up for school, I mean where's the fun in that, instead I conjured up a portal to the netherworld and sent it hurling into the flames.
There finally some peace and qui- "VIXEN get your lazy ass of that bed and get ready for school" I groaned again but this time finally opened my eyes and threw a mini tantrum in my room but still didn't get up.
"VIXEN MADELINE EVERDEEN" uh oh. She stormed into my room full force "why aren't you up young lady?"
"I'm up I'm up" I quickly got out of bed and stretched. I love this woman but I'm really scared of her in the morning.
"And where's your alarm clock?" Darn you and your ever vigilant eyes. I was kinda hoping she wouldn't notice until I could buy a replacement.
"Um..." I started.
"Oh no, Don't Tell me you sent another alarm clock to the never realm" she said folding her hands and tapping her feet.
"Well the thing is..."
"We talked about this" she said throwing her hands up "you can't keep doing that, that's your seventh alarm clock this school year" yeah right.
That was actually my sixteenth alarm clock this school year but she doesn't need to know that "look mom I'm sorry but I really need to get ready for school now" I started ushering her out of my room as she was protesting "I love you Mom and I promise to get the alarm clock replaced" and with that I shut the door in her face.
I let out a sigh and made my way to the bathroom. After my morning routine I came out of the bathroom in my robe and made my way to my walk in closet.
"What do I wear today?" I said to Tabitha and she replied "well according to my online search summer stylish is what's in Vogue so I'd recommend your light blue high waist jeans with your floral print offshoulder crop top and your sunglasses"
I brought out the clothes she recommended with my locator spell, not to be bothered with having to look for them, and layer them on my bed without touching them.
"Okay now play me Good as hell by lizzo" the song started playing from my room stereo and I couldn't help but sway my hips to the empowering lyrics of a true bad bitch.
I wore my already laid out clothes still singing along with her then sat in front of my mirror to tame my red hair.
Not wanting to waste to much time straightening it, I pulled it into a messy bun letting some strands of hair hang loose to frame my oval face before proceeding to lay my edges with the precision of a true professional.
I applied some eyeliner to make my big brown eyes look bigger and used some concealer to hide the mark on my forehead from yesterday when I collided with the kitchen door trying to escape my mothers wrath after eating the last cookie. I also used some strawberry lip gloss.
I grabbed my backpack from my study table and used a spell to make the books I had scattered around the room enter my bag of their own accord.
The song finally ended and post Malone came on with his new single circles. I love post Malone so it's no surprise that his song came on next.
I decided to wear my white Nike slides and roll up my jeans. I checked myself in the full length mirror and was pleased with myself. I had always been a beautiful girl and I never failed to let people see that.
"Tabitha play the music on the living room speakers"
"Playing music on the living room speakers" I heard the dull sound of post malone's lyrics coming from the living room and as a finishing touch I wore my smartwatch which also had a Tabitha feature, and unplugged my iPhone then slipped it in my back pocket.
I made my way downstairs and was welcomed by the smell of pancakes. I sat on the dining table and a stack of pancakes made their way to me with the and of one of my mom's floating spells.
She was still in the kitchen making some more in her apron that says 'kiss the chef' as I settled down for my breakfast.
"Tabitha what's the traffic like on the way to school"
Tabitha's melodic voice answered saying "if you leave now theirs only a five minute hold up meaning you should get their in less that fifteen minutes"
I hurried up with my pancakes so I could get to school on time.
"Stop eating so fast or you're gonna choke" my mom said as she made her way to the dining table with her own stack of pancakes.
"Can't... Gonna be late" I said with my mouth still full of pancakes. I quickly downed my glass of orange juice and picked up my backpack .
I got up and placed a kiss on my mom's cheek.
"Bye Mom" I made my way to the front door and picked up my car keys from the key shaped jacket she hangs ther.
"Don't forget to get a new alarm clock on your way back" she yelled after me.
"Sure thing" I said and shut the door Making my way to my black BMW parked in the garage.
I opened the garage door and drove out.
"Tabitha what's a good idea for this year's school dance"
I'm on the school dance committee and we have a school dance coming up soon so every member is suppose to pitch in an idea.
"How about under the sea"
"Nah we used that two years ago"
"How about a fairytale theme"
I thought about that one and made a mental note to suggest it at today's meeting.
I finally made it to school with about five minutes to spare. I parked in where most of the popular kids with expensive cars are expected to park and made my way towards my locker.
I got my books out and I saw Amy Making her way towards me with the rest of the girls on the cheer squad. Amy is the captain of the cheer team and she never fails to let everyone know it.
And no she's not some cliche cheerleader who is a really big bitch. I mean sure she's really bossy during training but isn't that what being head cheerleader is about.
Outside of practice she's actually really nice to almost everyone. She volunteers for after school activities and is really smart.
"Hey vixen, just wanted to remind you that we have a committee meeting after cheer practice" she said smiling. Her tanned Spanish American skin always sets her out and wherever she goes she gets heads turning.
"Oh don't worry I remember" I said
"Great, what class do you have first" she asked.
I checked my timetable and saw that I had history with Mr Harold, one of my least favorite teachers. I groaned and said "history with Mr American dream"
She chuckled at this "I feel you, we have the same class let's go"
We made our way to the class just as the bell rang and the rest of her minions dispersed.
She sat next to me during class but we didn't talk much seeing as we aren't such close friends. Infact I'm not close friends with anyone at this school. I may be popular but I'm really antisocial.
I just sat there looking for what to do with my hands as mr Harold yapped on about why America is the best country in the world. AGAIN.
The classes dragged on like that until it was lunch time. I made my way to the cafeteria and on the menu is sloppy joe.
My school cafeteria actually serves really tasty foods in comparison to practically every school in America.
I grabbed my tray and made my way to an empty table at the back of the cafeteria.
I saw Amy seating with her usual group at the popular kids table and she waved at me and shouted "hey vixen, wanna join us?".
She asks me that everyday at lunch probably hoping I'd change my mind because everyday she asks I always end up saying "No thank you"
I smiled politely and made my way to the empty table and sat down to eat my sloppy joes.
I took a picture of it and posted it on my snap story. I mean I may not have many friends but what kind of teenager would I be if I didn't like Instagram and Snapchat, besides I feel more comfortable talking to strangers online than in person.
A girl wearing a simple pink dress came up to my table and asked shyly "h-hey I'm Gabby and I'm kinda new here"
I looked up to meet her gaze. She was a short Asian girl with thick rimmed glasses and straight hair but overall she's really pretty "I'm vixen nice to meet you" I said feigning a smile.
"You too" she replied and stood there nervously for another minute or so before she finally said "um can I sit here?"
I really don't want any company but what kind of monster would i be if I turned her down "sure"
She plopped down on the bench opposite me and started eating in silence.
I continued scrolling through Instagram monitoring my followers and unfollowing people who don't follow me.
I finally put my phone down and started eating my sloppy joes only for me to.notice Gabby staring at me.
"Um why are you staring at me?" I added a light chuckle at the end so she knew I wasn't angry or anything but she still looked petrified.
"Oh I'm so sorry, it's just... Never mind" she pushed up her glasses.
"Okay now I really wanna know"
"It's stupid"
"Well I wanna hear it"
"Your hair it's so red like the color of ketchup and I wanna believe it's hair dye but your roots don't seem dyed"
"That because it's my actual hair colour" I said. It's not the first time people have asked me that, some even argue with me over it saying I'm lying about it being my natural hair colour.
"Woah, that's a pretty unique hair colour" she said obviously fascinated "it's the first time I've ever seen a natural hair colour like this"
"Yeah I know. I actually get that a lot but the hair colour kinda runs in the family because my mum has the exact same hair colour" it's true my mom's hair is also the exact shade of red though hers is cut much shorter and holds hints of grey.
I told her about different encounters I've had with people over my hair colour and we ended up laughing the whole lunch away. I'm usually not good at making friends but Gabby makes it so hard not to love her with her jokes and gentle nature.
We finally parted after lunch but she made sure to.follow me on Instagram and add me on Snapchat first.
I finished the rest of my classes without issues and went to cheer practice.
Cheer practice today was shorter that usual to make time for the committee meeting so we ended up not doing much.
Finally after practice was over the members of the school dance committee filed into the library for our meeting.
After the attendance was taken. We all proceeded to pitch our ideas. I really don't like being around strangers, infact the only reason i signed up for this was because the school insisted I did.
"What about you vixen do you have any thing to suggest?" I recognized Brie's shrill voice even without looking up.
Brie is the real cliche evil bitch even though she's not a cheerleader. She's the school's queen bee and she resident teacher's pet. She's involved in every school activity except sports.
"I was thinking more of a fairytale theme" I said quietly.
"That's stupid all your ideas are stupid... You are all idiots!" She yelled and we all fell quiet.
Who's she calling an idiot.
I'll show her.
She sighed dramatically and tried to sit on her chair but I quickly used my powers to move it backwards causing her to land on the floor with a thud and the whole library erupted into laughter as the librarian Mrs Simmons tried to control us and remind us that we're in a library.
The meeting was adjourned and I went home and took a nap.
