"Wake up Issy, its time for school or else you would be late"
"Ughhhh"
Slowly, I got down from bed, washed my face to keep my eyes up and stared at the mirror scrubbing my teeth.
Suddenly, mom barged in which made me felt like my heart was going to pop out of my chest.
"Mom, you scared me ! "
"So sorry dear, please be quick, breakfast is ready"
"Okay mom, please allow me to get dressed" I said staring into ny mom's amber eyes
"Yes dear" She replied slamming the door.
As mom left, I kept looking at my self through the mirror
'Okay Isabel, today is another day, stay focused no distraction'
I marched into the bathroom for a refreshing bath then i slid into a carton brown dress to match my brown eyes.
And yes, i packed my hair in my usual early morning style hooking it with a brown pin.
After that, i stared at my rack looking for something to match my dressing
Finally, i picked a brown wedge
"Okay lets rock brown today"
Walking down the stairs, i felt someone giving me a hard glare and it was no other person than Mirabel.
"When will you stop coming late for breakfast ? "She asked looking furious.
I just had to ignore her to avoid any silly arguement
Mira looked at me with those precious hazel eyes as she flipped her blonde hair which was tied in a pony tail.
"You know your dad had always wanted you to stop waking late in the morning" Mom said with that her calm and reserving tone i always envy.
"Yes mom i know"
"Then try to wake early"
I nodded as we ate in silence.

Mirabel walked slowly to her class like she has all day to walk.
Unlike me, I walked briskly like someone being chased as my friends describes it not minding i could fall.
On entering the class, I emptied my bag into my locker and sat down with a sigh of relief.
Then the unavoidable sound rang for assembly.
All students walked happily to the assembly hall while Miss Ava came forward to give those boring school rules.
"So, I want you all to abide with these rules and strictly follow it"
"Yes Ma'm" We all chorused
"And yes that reminds me, all grade 12 students should please wait behind, i will be right back.
As we waited for whatsoever reason, those noisy guys began their talk on football while the girls talked about the latest jweleries and dresses.
I looked from one person to another looking for someone
Then, i felt a tap from behind
"Oh !, there you are" I said smiling at Mia
"Morning Issy, how are you"
"Fine yeah i'm fine"
"Have you seen Diva ?"
"Diva ? "
I looked behind her to see if Diva was there as usual but NO she wasn't.
"Weren't you two coming together ? "
"Yes we were but someone suddenly called her that the principal miss ava wants to see her"
"But miss ava just left here, maybe she went to see her then"
"Okay, just hope thats what it is "
"But what do you think miss ava wants to see her for ? " I was curious
"Guess its for the fashion show"
"Only her ?, Shouldn't she see them in group ? "
"That i dont know maybe cos of the latest competition going on between her and Rahila"
"Oh yes, that might be it" I said nodding my head
"Just hope she didn't get into trouble"
"Hmnmnmmm"
