BEEP BEEP BEEP

"Fuck, I don't wanna go to school" I say moaning trying to get out of bed

"Five more minutes"

10 minutes passed...

"Theresa get up or your gonna be late for school" my mom yells across the room

"But I don't wanna go"

"Well you better get up, I don't want you to get a tardy slip again"

"Ugh" I say furiously

3 minutes passed and I finally I have the strength to get out of bed. I get dressed, putting on my white collar shirt and blue navy pants. My school has this school uniform policy that no one at school likes.

"Hurry up" my mom says every 10 seconds

"I'm coming, I'm coming" I say as I try to put on my shoes.

"Hey mom, have you seen my keys anywhere?" I ask her

"No sweetheart. Check on the table in the living room, they might be there" she says as she is finishing up making breakfast

I go downstairs to the living room to see if my key are there.

"Found them" I shout

"Okay good, now come over here and eat your breakfast"

She serves me two pancakes, scrambled eggs and two strips of bacon.

"Yumm, this looks good" I say as I go get myself a glass of milk

"Well you better eat up, your dad will be here any minute to pick you up and take you to school" my mom says

"Okay, I'm almost done"

"Don't forget your jacket, it's kinda chilly today" my mom says

"Okay" I tell her as I hurry up to get all my stuff

I get my jacket, keys and my book bag. Oh, and one more thing my phone, how could I forget that? I can't go a minute without my phone or else I go crazy.

So I go back upstairs to my room to get my phone.

HONK HONK

"Oh shit, my dads here" I hurry to get my phone.

I hurry up and go downstairs.

"Bye mom" I say

She kisses me on the cheek.

"Bye, see you later and don't forget to pick up your brother" she tells me right as I'm walking out the door

"Okay" I say

I walk out and walk to where my dad has parked. I get in the car. My dad starts the car and we are ready to go.

"Hey" I say in a quite voice

"Hi" he says.

"So have you been think about what I told you?" He looks at me.

My dad asked me awhile ago if I wanted to go live with him for when I went to high-school. It's my last year of school and it's my choice of where I want to go for high-school. I do only have like two more months of school.

"Umm...I have" I look back at him

"And?"

"I don't exactly know, I mean I would like to go live with you but I also don't want to leave mom alone" I stare at him as I tell him.

My mom and dad have been divorced for almost two years already. I don't think I want to choose one or the other.

"Well it's up to you. It would be nice to have my little girl around me rather than me seeing you every morning" he looks at me and looks back at the road.

"Well..." I quietly speak.

"Well what?" He asks me.

"O well look at that, we are already here" I say, trying to change the conversation.

I don't really want to talk about this. I mean I still don't know what high-school I'm gonna choose. I did get accepted to three good high-schools.

"Well I guess we'll talk about this another time. your gonna be late"
He tells me as I unbuckle my seatbelt

"Well bye dad, see ya tomorrow" I kiss him on the cheek and run off to class

I look back to see if he is still there and he is. He smiles at me like if he is trying to tell me that he is really proud of me.
I get to class and I burley make it on time. Mr.Blake was taking attendance, saying my name at the same time I walk in.

"Theresa Willows?" He calls out

"Present and on time" I say exhausted. I feels like if I just ran a marathon. I'm out of breath.
I get to my seat where my friend Luna is at.

"What happened Theresa? You were gonna be late again" she says silently.

"Sorry, it's because I woke up late again". I whisper back as I try to get my breath back.

"Well your lucky, Mr.Blake was running late which probably gave you time to get here" Luna says

"Yea I know, don't want to be getting tardies" I say

"Well next time wake up earlier" Luna says

Luna has always been that kind of person. She cares about you and will try to motivate you when your having bad days.

"Yea I know" I say as I get my pencil and notebook out

"Okay scholars, class has started" Mr.Blake said, getting the lesson for today.
