Lisa's POV
Ring!!Ring!!!,urghhhh!,I groaned as I put off my infamous alarm,I still don't know why I put up with it ...... 'maybe cause it saves your dumb ass from waking late'..... & there goes my judgemental inner me,eish. i stood up from my soft & fluffy bed that I would love to just lay on all day,I looked back at it drooling 'snap outta it Lisa!'....I hear my inner me again,I groan as I walked over to the bathroom,did my daily business & came out. i walked over to the mirror ,nothing to see here ,just normal plain Lisa ,with the extremely curly dark hair & boring hazel eyes,I sighed & walkedto my closet to pick out my clothes . Today is my first official day in Denver high Yay! Note the fake enthusiasm,duh....I kinda hate the school already,well to be fair I kinda hate school,but I guess it's normal for all teenagers,don't get me wrong,I'm a straight A student,some would even consider me a nerd ,well that's because I study my ass off,I don't even ve a little time for fun.I sat in front of my mirror as I tried to straighten my now tangled curled hair ..... "Lisa!!!!!" I heard my sweet momma & from her voice I can tell she's raging, well maybe that's because I'm 5mins late for breakfast & probably some 30mins late for school 'great achievement on your first day Lis' I said to myself chuckling,I decided my hair would just have to be the normal boring thick curls I grabbed my backpack after completing my simple makeup,checking myself at the mirror again,my favorite Red check shirt ,slightly ripped blue jeans & white converse seem to go perfectly fine,satisfied with myself I went down to my family for breakfast. "Hi Dad", I kissed his cheek "Hey pumpkin", he said slightly grinning at me "Heyyyy mom!" I said grinning widely while going over to hug her, "young missy,do not hey me ,u re gonna be so late on your first day gosh!'she said in her mother's tone , "don't worry mom,they wouldn't want to scold the new girl ,would they?" I said wriggling my eyebrows at her,she finds it funny everytime I do that, just like I expected,she broke into laughter. "alright alright,put your lazy ass down & eat" , she said,then I heard the sweetest sound ever,my lil sis ,Lennie,giggling "morning Lis" she said in her cute voice "hey Lennie bear" I said ruffling her hair & pinching her soft pink cheeks,she is just sooooo cute,I want to eat her up,she's 7 already yet we can't get enough of her cuteness "Lissy don't do that" she said pouting "alright boo boo" I said as I sat down to eat. ***** Breakfast was over & soon I was in my dad's car as he drove me & Lennie to school,we dropped Lennie at the pre school & headed for Denver high,alright maybe I was a bit nervous,hell I was nervous,I didn't really have much friends in my previous school in California,only fucked ass bully,as if my dad knew what I was thinking,he took my hand "everything's going to be fine Lis" he said smiling at me ,I looked up at him,sometimes I wonder what I would do without them,I love them so much,they adopted me after I spent 8 years of my life in that horrible Orphanage,just thinking about that place makes shivers run down my back. yep I was adopted ,my real parents abandoned me in that Orphanage when I was a baby,at least that's what I was told ,I guess they didn't want a child , I was a burden to them, I stayed in that hellhole for 8years passing through the trauma before I finally got adopted by the Lexs' . Mrs Lex was a Child's Welfare Social Worker ,I guess the horrible things the orphanage did finally came out in the open , the Orphanage was shut down ,some of the kids got adopted & some were sent to a foster home , I was one of the lucky kid that got adopted ,Mrs Lex took a liking to me ,she is a nice woman ,she & Husband didn't ve a child at that time , they decided to adopt me ,I wasn't so comfortable with them at first but with time ,everything became perfect ,I was convinced they weren't going to hurt me, they showed me so much care & love,they were always there for me,my dad,Mr Lex played a huge fatherly role,he showered me with so much love ,I didn't need to ask for anything before I was given,ok maybe they did spoil me a little . Two years after ,they had Lennie,& oh God! she was a bundle of joy,she definitely brought joy to the whole family ,Gosh!she was too adorable for her own liking..... 'Lis,Lis,Lisa!'
