I'm a lot of things but a morning person is not one of them. I groan and rub my eyes, turning over to my side to check the time... Fuck. Mrs. Sturniolo will be here any moment and my lazy ass just woke up. I roll out of bed in my pajamas. I grab my beat up suitcase and start aggressively shoving in all my clothes. *knock knock*. I swiftly put my unbrushed hair in a messy bun and throw on some slides. My suitcase crashes behind me as I run down the stairs. I take a deep breath and open the door. "Well, hello there Gracelyn!" Mrs. Sturniolo says with a warm smile. I haven't been called Gracelyn since I was a kid. It's weird to hear it but I didn't correct her. She reaches her arms out for a hug but I just look down. I don't do hugs. I cant stand being touched. Still looking down I respond. "Hi Mrs. Sturniolo." She quickly corrects me. "Please, call me Mary Lou." I nod and step outside, closing the door being me.
