Growing Phase

Chapter 1:

My vision was shrouded by darkness when a sudden shout echoed louder and louder.

"Willow get up already!!"

I was jolted awake by the shout of my mother. "Yes, I'm already up, no need to shout!!" I said while I continue to lie down and close my eyes hoping that the time will freeze.

But that is impossible, after 5 minutes of dilly-dallying I finally decided to leave my bed and started fixing it.

"Why must students need to wake up early in the morning? Can't we just study at noon or night? They said having rest were very important for student," I mumbled while complaining as if the world was at fault.

I dragged my exhausted and lethargic body to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. While brushing my teeth I walked out of the bathroom and walk to the table beside my bed and checks the time.

"6:20 am," I whispered inaudibly. I open the curtains of my room and check the surrounding. The light blinded me for a second, after adjusting my eyes I open the window and breath deeply while the cold breeze of the wind rashly enter thru the window.

It was currently early December. So, the wind was colder than usual. It's just a few months when the semester and the school year will be closing.

I walk towards the bathroom to finish my business. After dozen minutes, Willow exited the bathroom while rubbing her hair using a towel.

"Willow, did you go back to bed again?" My mom shouted outside the room. Her name was Eva Williams. "Aren't you going to school?!!" continued nagging by my mom. "If you don't want to go to school then just quit already, do you think you will achieve something if you keep doing this?" nagged again by my mom while preparing a meal for breakfast.

I exit my room and rush into the dining room to have my breakfast. "Mom, can you stop nagging it was still early in the morning and I just finish some school papers yesterday late at night," I said while casually sitting down.

"If I won't nag at you then who will? You should be thankful that you have a mother who cares and nagged at's you" My mom said while fixing the utensils.

"Okay fine, are we good now?" I forcefully said while eating her breakfast.

"Honey breakfast is ready, Let's eat while the food were still hot!!" my mom shouted to call my dad, Mr. Robert Williams.

"Mom, what time is it already?" I asked while picking a hotdog and scooping some rice.

"Huh, time? Well, it's already 7:50" My mom said while looking at her phone.

"What!!! Why didn't you tell me the time, I'll be late already" I shouted while choking from the water.

"When then I didn't tell you the time, didn't you hear me shouting at you to wake up already?" My mom said.

"It has already become your daily routine to complain that I didn't wake you up early in the morning, if you can't even wake up early in the morning then you won't achieve anything" nagged by mom while shaking her head as if she was greatly disappointed.

"Mom I have to go tell dad that I'll be going, bye," I said while rashly picking up my bag and a piece of bread.

"Okay, bye," Mom said. I rashly exited outside the house when I suddenly remember that I forgot something.

So, I rushed back inside the house and shouts "Mom my allowance" I said while offering her hand.

Mom grab some money from her pocket and give it to me when I saw how much the money is I cheekily asked her "Mom can you add a little bit of money to my allowance Please".
