i hurry down the stairs with my younger sister, sidney, and grab some crackers to eat on the way to school.

"really, laura? crackers? that wont do anything."

"you want a hearty steak n lamb buffet? well too bad, we're almost going to be late because of you."

"aww man.."

here i am, 15 year old laura turner with her bratty sister sidney. i hate this.

luckily were just on time, the doors to louise red grade school opening before the eyes of everyone in the train station.

"hurry, sid! we gotta go!"

phew, were on the train.

doors are now closing. doors are now closing.

a sense of relief washes over me. the doors close, and i take my last cracker, having a bite.
