The search for purpose

here's to new beginnings

Beep, beep, beep! My alarm went off noisily. "Ugh" I groaned and rolled over. I'm not used to getting up this early but you know, since we live in hickville I gotta get up and hour earlier than before. I mean cmon, the bus doesn't even go as far as my house. I rolled outta bed and stepped on something sharp. I hissed and grabbed my foot sitting back down on my bed. What the... I thought. It was the ring brodie and kaity bought me for my birthday one year. But... I couldn't find it anywhere when we packed everything up at the old house. Strange, well at least I have it again. I slipped it on happily and walked groggily into the bathroom. I picked up my toothbrush and began brushing my teeth thinking of back home, my real home. I wanted today to be as good as possible so I pushed the thought out of my head and leaned down to spit. When I came back up I caught something walking past the door, thinking it was Alex I jumped out and said good morning but.. he wasn't there. Hm. Weird. I walked into his room to make sure he was up, which he wasn't. I picked up his pillow off the floor which somehow always ends up there and threw it at him. "Get up!" I yelled and stood there with my arms crossed over my chest. He groaned and pulled the blanket over his head. "Fine, I'll get the bucket" "no! not the bucket, I'm up" he said. I smirked and walked out "hurry up." I walked back into my room and pondered what to wear so I threw on a pair of jeans and that kaity got me and a flannel brodie let me have. I pulled it around me smiling thinking of how much I missed them. I took my phone out and texted both of them saying heyyy guys, I miss u so much. Call me tonight? Love u and slid my phone back into my almost non existent pocket. I quick threw my hair up, put eyeliner on, and slid down the rail of the stairs. "Hey mom" I said smiling. She looked so happy that I was happy that it made me smile more, as funny as that sounds. "You ready?" She asked. I nodded my head and smiled, "just waiting on.." "ready!" Alex shouted and ran for the car. I laughed at his "style" of fashion and got in. "Are you gonna be ok home alone alllllll day?" I asked mom jokingly. "Oh I'll have to find something to keep my mind busy without you sweetie" she said playfully back, poking me. "Psh whatever mom." "She'll prob party" I said to Alex leaning back. We all giggled and before we knew it pulled up to what would be my new school. Wow. It's tiny compared to my last one. Easier to get around I suppose. I hopped out and earned against my door, "bye mom. Thanks for the ride." "Ditto" Alex chimed in. "Well, see u after" I said and closed my door. As she drove away my feeling of contention went with her. Oh boy, this is It. I placed my hand on alex's shoulder and gave him a look, he returned it and we walked into together. Here's to new begginings.
