Under What You See

"Elizabeth Ann Masterson! It is nearly a quarter past seven!" Blasted my mom's voice through the intercom. I was standing by the mirror in my room frantically brushing my hair. My parents would kill me if I was late.

My little sister Sam flounced into the room. I almost gagged at the sight of her long skirt and turtle neck. Of course that goody goody would want to please my parents. So did I, for the most part.

"It would not take you as long if you did not double dress." She said smugly.

"Contractions were made for a reason Sam." I shot back, stuffing make up into the pockets of my first layer. She can go ahead and be a total dork, I'm gonna wear what I want.

"Do not call me Sam! Now hurry up before you make us both late!" She snapped, storming from my room. I ran after her, but slowed to a walk down the stairs. I didnt need a lecture from my parents on running.

My mother silently approved our outfits as we headed out to my car. I tossed my backpack in the backseat and turned the key in the ignition. Sam of course sat daintily next to me.

When we reache school, I immediatly went into the bathroom. I had to hurry, the bell would ring soon. I quickly peeled off my top layer of a hideous long skirt and blouse to reveal my short jean shorts and tank top.

I had been using bits of my birthday and Christmas money to pay for my own clothes for years. What my parents didnt know wouldn't hurt them right?

There was no one to rat me out ethier. All of our family friends kids went to private school in the next town over. Anyway, my boyfriend Jack absolutely dispises the clothes my parents get me.

I ran down the hall to his locker and hugged him from behind. Another rule broken....no boys. Well whoops. "Hey there," he said grinning.

The only rule I had kept was no phones. How was I supposed to afford one on my own.

The bell rang, and I started walking. "Where you going?" He called after me. I stopped and turned to face him. "Class? That was the bell."

He laughed, and I was confused. "C'mon. Today we have off." I watched as he began walking in the opposite direction of class.

"Jack!" I called after him, glancing anxiously at the clock.

"C'mon! We only have one life, lets live it!" He called back, walking backwards.

"My parents will..." I started, but he cut me off.

"They'll never know." Was his last reply, before turning and walking.

I took a deep breath, and trotted after him. What was one day after all?
