Scool.That place where we are forced to go five out of seven days a week .its a place of "learning" as so many call it , yet i cant wrap my head around it i know it is necessary if we want to go out into the world and have successful careers , but are they really preparing us for anything? Will i use anything they taut me out in the real world .

School is my purgatory right now and all i want is to be set free .

"Ryanne Adren" Mrs.Applegate calls off . " Here " it is the Friday before the last week of school and while most teachers slowly start tapering off their agendas , Mrs. Applegate teaches until the last minute , trying to cram everything into the end of the year schedule .

After hearing my name , i open my notebook and begin doodling . i used to be such a good student . I used to strive for perfection in my schoolwork . Note anymore not after my mothers death .

Getting lost in the drawing and adding details to make it perfect , lost track of time . Drawing in the only thing that I've been able to do recently that gives me satisfaction . i looked at the time and it was 3:25 p.m . only five minutes left of class . And i haven't lessen to a word Mrs.Applegate anyways i only have one week to survive school and then i am out of this small town , out of the little town of Stormfield , Maine and to a beger and better place .

The thing is , i have no idea what i want to do after school . i dont have a plan like everyone else does .

Yes, i have applied to some colleges , and hot accepted but i dont know where or if i even want to go to any of them . i just know i want to be out of this town to anywhere but here , where everyone knows my story of how my mother died , with a lot of memories of her .

I look down at my drawing and see a picture of a model home . it is massive with its large stone exterior set in the woods . i want to live in a place like that , away from everyone else .

I tear my eyes away from the drawing and glance out the window . The sun is shining brightly today . Making everything inside warm and fuzzy .

" This weekend , you should all finish reading ( The lion , The witch , The wardrope .) your test is on Monday . This story is an easy read . For those pf you who haven't started it yet ." Mrs. Applegate stops talking and stares straight at me . " I recommend reading it this weekend ." The bell rings signifying the end of school day . "Class dismissed "

Getting up my notebook and pen , i grabbed my bag and headed out the door . i know i should start reading the book this weekend to pass this test but i have to buy it first at the bookstore .

I arrive home an hour later finding Jane cooking in the kitchen and thats rare because she usually is working or with her new boyfriend Ross out having fun . Jane is my legal guardian . she took me in when i had nowhere to go . shes in her mid-thirties , bit looks years younger than that . shes gorgeous . standing tall , shes just short of six feet . with short pixie-like hair . I'm often home alone cooking my own food which is only end up to be a sandwich or two .

" Hey Jane , whats up? " I ask as she stops cooking and turns around smiling and told me to go changing and come eat . i head up and change in comfortable clothes and looked out the window seeing the sky has gotten darker since I've come home and large rain drops starts to fall , for some reason the weather these days is changeable from one minute to the other . i went down to eat and told Jame i will go to the book store to buy the book to study .
