"Idiot, get your dumb ass up" Nicolas opened my bedroom door and then left, after he graced me with his wonderful words.

It was now Monday.

And the days were getting harder to live.

"Hurry up Savanah or you'll be late" thanks mother, I already know that.

I hadn't been talking to anyone in my family, since Saturday, which wasn't hard.

Isabella and Madeleine tried, but they gave up soon after, because they had to keep hiding under their perfect façade.

The one I don't have.

My life is just open book.

Some people say that some people wear their hearts on their sleeves, but I have my life on show, all the time.

Waiting for people to pick on me.

I climbed out of bed, and grabbed me expensive uniform, that was, once again, too small for me.

For school, I had to wear a red checker skirt, that sat just above me knee. I had to wear a white blouse; long sleeve for winter, short sleeve for summer.

For winter, we had to wear a black blazer, with a white jumper.

The shoes were just black. Seeing I was in grade 8, I had to wear the black socks that ran to just underneath my knees.

The seniors got to wear the black socks that had two white stripes at the top of them, to signify that they were a 'senior'.

I also had to tie a red tie around my neck that had diagonal checker going to the left of it, which would hold all of our badges.

I had 5 academic awards; maths, geography, history, science, and English, along with a sport award, for vice-captain of the track team, along with a badge for student councillor.

I was proud of these badges, but compared to my eldest sister, this was the bare minimum someone could have.

Hence the name, dumbass, and idiot.

Yet, none of my brothers had 5 academic awards, and I beat my older sister by having 3 more academic awards then her. The only thing she had that I didn't, was the head girl.

Rich, private school things.

I slung my black backpack that the school provided, which also had my initials S.G written on it, over my shoulder, and grabbed my white, straw hat that was a hand me down from my older sister, and it was tearing further by the minuet.

Got to love hand me downs.

"We're leaving Savanah" Nicolas called out.

Nicolas, Isabella, Ben, and I all ride in a car together.
