Morning Drama

Morning Drama Andrea's POV

BANG

BANG

BANG

My adoptive brother banged on the door of my bedroom, almost breaking the hinges. I quickly sat up in bed, and looked over at the door.

"Jesus, Rhus! Give me a minute!" I yelled.

The bangs stopprd, and I heard his feet as they hit each rung of the ladder down, obviously hurrying to get to breakfast before me.

Yeah, that's right. I live in an attic. The Adams family took me in when I was just a baby, and didn't have any room to put me. So, they fixed up the attic for me! Yayyyyy...so great, is probably what you're thinking. But you're wrong. They could have given me up and left me in the bush they found me in. Or rather, Rhys found me in. He was only two then, and probably wouldn't have found me if his friend hadn't sucked at throwing a frisbee. But that's a story for another time.

I snapped out of my randomly narrated thoughts and slid out of bed, dragging some sheets with me. I just kicked them away, and walked to my wardrobe. My school uniform for St. Grogory's Primary School was hanging up in exactly the same spot as usual, no spots, stains, or wrinkles in the smooth cloth.

I picked it up and slipped it on, taking at the short length of the skirt. My secret theory was that all school uniform designers were actually perverts. They always made the skirts too short for girls, and the pants were always too tight for boys.

'What has the world come too...', I thought, shaking my head slightly.

My eye caught on my alarm clock as I quickly searched for my bag. It read 7:36 AM, 24 minutes before school started. I panicked, and just grabbed my binder and my new manga as I ran out the dooor, shouting quick goodbyes to my family.

Off to school I go.....

Nice. With some practice, you could be a really great writer. However, right now, what's annoying me are the cliches.
-- Why is the whole "growing up in the attic" thing necessary?
-- Seriously. NO ONE else is standing up for the bullied kid? Does this actually happen in real life?
-- How does she know martial arts or whatever?
-- Oh, perfect. The shy Otaku girl See More

1. Thank you.
2. The growing up in the attic thing is because I want to make her life kinda similar to Harry's.
3. It stated in the book that no one dared to stand up for Harry.
4. She takes classes because she hates bullies and for the purpose of beating them up.
5. She's not shy, she just is usually quiet because she doesn't see the point of being loud and See More

4. Just a tip, though: It would be cooler if she somehow taught herself martial arts.
6. Read it yesterday and apparently forgot this very important piece of info XD

3. I know, I just don't understand how literally NO ONE would stick up for him. I've been homeschooled all of my life, so maybe that's just a bit unreal to me.
4. So they provide self defense classes but lock her in the attic? Now I'm VERY confused...

3. It does! I just read it.
4. No, she fought them before that, but when she came home with proof of her sucking at fighting, Her adoptive parents decided that if she was going to fight, she at least should fight well. Idk why I'm basically telling out her story here.

1. You're welcome.
2. Ooooh, gotcha. It's kind of cliched, but I can deal.
3. I guess.
4. Wait... She spends a bunch of money (martial arts classes are freaking expensive, at least the good ones; I take them) just to take classes to beat up bullies? Why does this make her sound messed up?
5. Um, gotcha...
