"How was your first day?!" My mom called from the kitchen as I slammed the door to the apartment.
"Great, just great." I muttered.
My mom emerged from the kitchen, wiping her hands on a towel and frowning. Her brown hair was pulled back into a ponytail and she was still in her work clothes.
My mom works at the hair shop down the street, it doesn 't bring in much money but it 's enough to keep us alive, I suppose.
"Was that sarcasm that I heard?" She cocked an eyebrow at me questionably.
"Sorry." I apologized, "It 's just been a really, really long day..." I complained.

"Alex, baby!" He kissed the side of the boy 's face. I laughed quietly at Alex until he did it to me also and then it was his turn to laugh.
"You must be Mariah, you are a very pretty girl."
"Er, thanks."
"BUT I WILL MAKE YOU GORGEOUS!" He exclaimed before setting me in a chair.
I looked at Alex, shocked and he just smiled and mouthed 'good luck '.
"We will start with your clothes! Pants size?"

"Bra size?"
Oh lord help me.
"Um.....," my eyes flickered to Alex, who was luckily engrossed in his phone. "34 D" I almost whispered.

"Alex?" I called. He looked up from his phone and at me. "Do you still have that bagel?" He smirked and tossed me a brown paper bag that contained a bagel, potato chips and a yogurt.
"Thank you."
"No problem."
I ate the food happily as I waited for Steven to return. Honestly, Alex may be a stuck up, spoiled, rich kid who 's holding me captive, but he 's got a heart somewhere in
