Arabella Rivera

“Arabella!” The shout came from downstairs, disturbing me, well from almost napping.

“Arabella!” Another impatient yell from mother made me roll my eyes in annoyance. I gritted my teeth and rise from my sleeping position.

“Coming!” I yelled and huffed as I got off the bed. My sock cladded feet touched the cold flooring of my house as I stride over t o the door.

“Hurry before dinner gets cold!” She yelled back, earning another eye roll from me.

It was a good thing she couldn’t see my irritated attitude, I would have certainly gotten a raging speech about moody teenagers that needed to know their place. Next thing I would know, I’d be going to boot camp with only girls and energy drinks.

I made my way downstairs, not really hungry or having the urge to even sit in the same room with her. But I didn’t really want to hear yapping in my ears this evening. So I sucked my irritation in and entered the dining area.

She was already seated at the head of the table. Her eyes lift from her plate and she peers at me in irritation. “Why didn’t you fix your hair before coming here or at least put it in a bun?” Eyes glaring at my messy tangled hair.

As soon as I got home, I had quickly moved my hair in the bun I had fixed it in this morning. I love when my hair gets loose, it finally breathes in relief.

At least one of us can.

I shrugged, not in the mood to argue with
