Do-Over
Nicole was not your average highschooler, her life was a mess, and she longed for the day when she would be grown up, and her 16th birthday should be one big step closer..
"RISE AND SHINE SLEEPY HEAD!" Nicole's brother yelled right before a gallon of freezing water crashed onto her, instantly soaking her pajamas and making her scream, now wide awake. "You LOSER!" she yelled, jumping out of bed and grabbing some clothes to dry herself, "It's my BIRTHDAY, why would you do something like that?" He just laughed and sprinted away, out of reach of her anger. "MOOOOOOOOMMM" she yelled, "Johnnys being a jerk!!"
With that she slammed her door and let out an aggravated breath, looking down at the bedraggled state of her clothes and hair. It was her 16th birthday for crying out loud! It should be icelily perfect with cherries on top, full of boys and romance and freedom and being cute, not..wet and angry. She looked in the mirror and gasped, her hair was an absolute MESS! All stringy and drippy and flattened about her head like a cat after a bath. Now she'd have to blowdry it, if she had time. With that she looked at her clock and saw it was 7:10, twenty minutes before she had to catch the bus! Of course she had slept through her alarm on the most important day of her life, when she would finally be grown up, older than her 15 year old friends at least.
Nicole ran to her closet and looked inside for something to wear, combing through her clothes quickly and seeing all her cute stuff was dirty, because all that was a possibility now was a plaid lumberjack shirt, a thin blue top that was a bit too tight, or a firetruck red Vneck. She wasn't feeling the red or the plaid so she grabbed the blue and threw it on over some Bermuda shorts that she had worn the day before. They were pretty cute and no one had seen her wear them then so it'd be ok.
Nikki ran out into the hall to the bathroom but stopped short, her pesky brother was inside. She banged on the door saying, "Thanks for the wakeup call, and I really really need in right now!"
"Sorry sis, I'm in the middle of something!" Johnny yelled back, snickering quietly.
"I can HEAR YOU!" she yelled, banging again, "I..I really have to pee! Please let me in"
"HAHAHA, no." he replied, "sorry."
"ARGHGHGHGH!!" She shrieked, exasperated, "Fine! I'll go get ready in mom's bathroom." She ran down the stairs and breezed through her parents room, where her mom was getting ready for work. "Sorry mom! gotta' get ready!" she said, going into her bathroom and shutting the door.
She didn't know what all this stuff was on the counter, creams and potions for youth maybe. She opened one called Mature Beauty and smeared some on her finger. It looked good, and she wanted to look older today so she dabbed some on her face, smiling. Then she grabbed a brush and combed viciously through her tangled dark hair, trying to think of an easy cute way to do it. One of her mom's sparkly clips was sitting on the counter so she pulled some of her hair up and clasped it in place. It looked okay; not nearly as good as she wanted but good enough for two minutes.
"NiCOLE!" her mother said from right outside the door, "I really need in there and isn't the bus about to be here?"
Oh snap! she thought, throwing open the door and sprinting past her disapproving mother, up the stairs and into her room, grabbing her bookbag and sliding on some cute sandals. She ran outside and saw the bus rounding the corner, about to stop at the end of the street where it picked up the neighborhood kids. Johnny didn't have to get to school until 9:00 so mom dropped him off later but Nicole had to catch the bus every morning.
Oh well, at least her crush was on it, she though at she quickly walked to the bus and was about to get in it, when she heard a small ripping sound and felt her shirt loosen a bit under her arms. The bus driver growled, "hurry up!" and she scrambled in, looking down and seeing the two seams on the sides of her little blue shirt had busted and unraveled from her armpits to her ribs, showing a glimpse of her bra to anyone beside her!
