“Time to get up!” My mom yelled from downstairs as I was peacefully sleeping. Maybe this is just a bad dream I said to myself, as I decided to roll over, and go back to bed. A couple of seconds later I heard it again and realized that I had to get up to go to school. I slowly got out of bed trying not to wake up my dog and went downstairs. As I was descending the stairs I smelt a putrid odor and I realized my mom had made oatmeal, which is the only thing I don’t like for breakfast. I kept on asking my mom if I could have something else for breakfast, but she said I had to eat my oatmeal. I swallowed the lumpy oatmeal as it slithered down my throat, hoping that each spoonful would be my last.
After I finished having oatmeal I headed upstairs to brush my teeth, and succeed in getting the disgusting flavor out of my mouth. Brushing my teeth seemed to be the best part of my morning so far and it made me feel more energetic and awake. When I went to my bedroom I did not know what to wear, I searched for a pair of shorts with pockets, which was like trying to find a needle in a haystack since I mostly have basketball shorts. When I finally stumbled across a decent pair of shorts I put them on and flew downstairs thinking I that I was late. I came to find out that it was only 6:30 a.m. and that I still had some time to spare, so I sat and wondered how school was going to be, wishing the best of luck to myself.
At about 6:40am my mom asked me if I was ready to go to school, and I mumbled a defeated, “yes mom.” As I headed outside I felt a shiver as a gust of wind blew and wished I had brought a sweatshirt, but I felt too lazy to go back inside and get one. As I sat next to my mom driving to school in the dark I was seriously contemplating sticking my head out of the window, pretending to puke, with a glimmer of hope that she would turn around and take me back home. Alas, she dropped me off in front of the school and said, “Have a great day, I love you!” I waved goodbye, turned towards the front steps of my new school, and said to myself, “Let’s do this”!
