Like what it says in Frozen, "the cold never bothered me anyway." I never really cared about cold weather. I knew some people on other parts of the world are use to it and don't care about too. I also knew that other people can't stand it, and need like three layers for just a little bit of wind. I for one only need one layer, and I'm fine. Even when I'm in bed I only need one blanket, and that's it.

My alarm on my alarm clock started ringing at 6:30 am and could only be turned off with a hard hit of my hand. I liked getting up early, but not for school. I layed down for a few seconds, but with my head lifted up to see my younger sister Camila still sleeping across from me. She has always been a heavy sleeper, that's why I have to kick her bed to wake her up.

"Wake up," I whispered.

Camila groans and looks at the clock. "Awww it's the first day of school!" She said sitting up on her bed.

I nod with a sigh. "Yeah I have to get ready for my first day of middle school and you have to get ready for the first day of your last year in elementary school." I head to my parent's bathroom to get dressed while I know that Camila will slowly take off her blankets and find clothes to wear.

Because of privacy reasons I don't like to get dressed with Camila, and she doesn't like to get dressed with me. My mom has to go in for work at 6:20am and my dad has to go in for work even earlier at 3:30am in the morning, so that leaves me to change in their room.

I lay my clothes as neatly as possible on my mom's side of the bed to organize what clothing I wanted to put on first. Since it was just the end of summer and getting to winter I picked out a dark purple thumb-less sweater soft on the inside and metallic on the outside. Along with a wavy maroon blouse shirt with shiny spot patterns near the neck of it. I didn't know if it was cold outside or hot, so I decided to wear gray shorts in case it was going to warm up or stay warm the whole day. My parents gave me an idea to wear closed-toe shoes in case I run or walk a lot during the day instead of having sandals that would possibly have rocks and grass in them by the time I get home.

Once I am all done I head to the kitchen to get some breakfast and saw Camila fill up her Pokemon metal water bottle for school. I took a glance at the oven clock next to Camila and notices that it was time for her to wake up my annoying older sister Eliana.

I rush to her small room with posters of comic book characters all over her wall, and quietly alarmed her, "Eliana! Eliana wake up!" A moment of silence passes by as Eliana shuffled in her soft bed sheets.

"Eliana it's time to wake up!" I say again to her which makes her officially wake up. She lifts her head up from her pillow which gave me a clue that she was finally up and I can head out of her room.

I go back to her seat in the kitchen near the table where Camila waits patiently on the other side and on her phone listening to music. Soon Eliana popped out from the hall wearing a pokemon t-shirt which had Charmander with a black background around it with SpongeBob shorts that looked like pajamas to me but didn't want to say anything. I for some reason have to give the keys to Eliana's car and that was the signal for Camila to head out of the door while Eliana puts on her sandals.

"Back or front?" She asks me as we walk to head to the small black car. "Back," I answer my usual as Eliana unlocks the whole car so the we can get in. Camila and I get in the car before Eliana gets in. We all buckle our seatbelts and I turn on my iPod nano for some music.

Eliana drives off to the first stoplight that allowed me to notice that the weather seemed off. Instead of sunny and warm it was gloomy and cold. I remembered that maybe I forgot the water in my new clear plastic dark blue water bottle. I turned my backpack sideways where the water bottle was visible. I took it out of the pocket feeling a cold watery feel against the sides of the bottle. I took the cap off and attempted to take a sip that feels even more cold against my mouth going through my throat. I start to worry that it may have come back.
