I woke up from my alarm blasting its stupid bells. Damn it.. I forgot to turn it off again... I quickly glance at the numbers on the clock before turning off the alarm. 7:00 AM. I have no time for this. I slam the button on my alarm clock, plunge back into the comfort of my bed, and quickly fall asleep. I later wake up from a maid knocking on the door. I grunt and say "come in." She hurriedly comes in, and says "Miss Gale, you missed breakfast. You mom was worried about you, so she sent me to check on you. Are you feeling alright?" I scoff, "Worried about me? yeah right." She looked at me for a moment in confusion, before asking "Did you say something? Sorry, I wasn't listening well enough." I roll my eyes, not letting her see it, and answer "No, just a thought, and yes, I'm fine, thank you." She nods and smiles. 

After that, she comes up to the door, and before closing it, says "please be down for lunch in a few minutes." I nod my head, and hear the door softly close. As soon as it does, I fall back into bed, but don't sleep this time. I jut think. Worried about me? Yeah right, more like worried about her precious tool, pawn, not me. I sigh, and get up from my bed. My left knee is still a little sore, but everything else is back to normal. I knew it, the ice worked again. I smiled to myself, while softly, rubbing my wrists. They were still a little rough from the cuffs, but at least they did't hurt anymore. 

I changed, and walked out of my room. In the hallways, I saw pictures from my modeling, family pictures, and a whole lot of pictures of my sister's successions. "Sick" I thought, as I looked back at the hallway in front of me, instead of its walls, and passed them all by. 

I finally got to the kitchen early. I'm usually always late.. I see my mom already sitting there. She looked up at me, and went back to eating. "Good morning" I say, as I sit down across the table from her. "Good morning. You have a shoot tomorrow, don't forget. And you have another shoot on Monday. Ask Daniella for the rest of your schedule." She says, while getting up. Daniella is my secretary. 

"Yes, mom." I answer and start eating my food. My dad is usually at work right now, and my sister should be here too, but I guess she already left. Once my mom leaves, I get up, and go back up to my room. While I'm there, I sort out my clothes for the week, and look at the calendar. 

October.. Halloween is coming up. I flop on my already made bed, and pick up my phone. I text the group chat that includes most of my best friends. 

Paige: Hey, you guys up?

I didn't have to wait long for a reply.

Lucy: Duh, did you see the time?

Paige: uhh... maybe?

Lucy: unbelievable. When did you wake up? Did you stay up all night drawing again?

Paige: Maybe?

Lucy: I told you to go to sleep earlier! 

Paige: Wow, sorry mom.

J.C.: OMG! 

J.C.: Did you know that there was a chase yesterday? 

J.C.: Some big-ass guys from some bar or something were chasing a girl.

J.C.: Someone started to record it, but she ran away. Damn she was fast, I wish I could see her face.

Crap.

Conny: Srsly?? Wow! I wanna c dat! 

Paige: oh well. Did you guys start on the history project yet?

Conny: No way, I didnt even write mah name on it. I tried to read over it, but damn, howrya gonna do all dat in a week?

Paige: Conny.. Please.. spell your words correctly. 

J.C.: You gotta get used to it Paige.

I sighed, and typed in:

Paige: Anyway, I'm done with half of it. I'll work on the rest of it right now. Bye.

Conny: ya, watevz. bye.

J.C.: see ya 

I turn my phone off, and get up from my bed. I take out the clothes I was wearing, and look at their rips and stains. I sigh, and throw them away afterwards. I come up to my desk, and check my laptop. Apparently, I got an email from my mom, and about my schedule. I open the one from my mom first, and read it.

"Honey, I made some reservations for your next shoot, and I am planning on submitting your pictures to the XXXXX magazine. Text me or email me, when you get this message! I can't wait to show your beautiful face to those photographers! 

                                                                              Love you Anna, 

                                                                                           Mom."

Of course. I forward it to my sister, and close my laptop. She would never talk to me like that. What was I expecting? For her to finally stop obsessing over my sister, and pay some attention to me? Right. At least, I get to sneak out whenever I want. 

I feel my eyes sting, but I just shut them closed, and hit my face. 

No. Not now, not ever.
