Lunar Eclipse
An ordinary day
Niamh's POV
"NIAMH! NIAMH!" I heard someone screaming. I tried to open my eyes and see who was screaming at me, but they seemed to be stuck together like glue. The water filled my mouth and I began thrashing around, trying to sit up and get out of the water. I then knew in my heart that it was over. I was drowning and nobody was able to save me. I didn't want to die, but I guess I have to at some point. And that point was now.
"NIAMH! WAKE UP! WAKE UP NOW OR YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE!" I heard someone screech. I woke with a jolt and took in my surroundings. I felt my body tilt to the side and with a thump I landed on the shiny, polished, wooden floor. I scratched my head, squinting into the sunlight which blared in from my large opened window. I stood up, grabbing my phone from the bedside locker and checked the time. 7:45! I let out a gasp and quickly got ready.
After dressing in my uniform and tied up my hair, I sprinted downstairs where my Mam was buttering scones. I sent her a small smile and she just ignored me. She acts like that to me most of the time because, well, I have no idea. She suddenly started ignoring me and acting like I'm not there one day, and I've learnt to just deal with it.
Sean, my thirteen year old brother, walked in.
"Maaaam, where's my football gear?" He asked, looking around the kitchen. She turned around and beamed.
"Morning darling! How did you sleep?" I felt a pang like I always do when she does something like this. He grunted in reply.
"I was calling up your P.E teacher, Mrs Phillips and asked if you could do higher classes because of your raw talent-"
"Ma' the football stuff?" He cut her off, rolling his eyes at all the stupid things she was saying. Yes, Sean was on the national football team that represents Mullingar, but it didn't mean he could just stop P.E because he's a good player! She's such a stuck up snob! Just because she has bundles of money and a fancy home and car, and her collection of Gucci and Louis Vuitton bags, doesn't mean she's better than anyone else!
She gave him a dark look and scowled him.
"Don't speak like that! You have better punctuation than that!" He snorted.
"Yeah right!" He muttered before grabbing the milk carton and drinking it straight from the spout.
Notes
It's been four years guys. Four years.
