My alarm goes off and I turn it off and walk to the bathroom. When I get done doing my business I brush my teeth and wash my face. I walk in the room.

"Bell, come on get up." I say.

"Ummm, why." She mutters.

"We got to start getting ready for school, come on." I say.

She gets up and we start getting ready. Today I decided to wear a blue jumper with a white top and my converses. Bell is wearing some blue jeans with a black and white top and some crocs.

I do my hair and put on my jewelry. I then pick up my devotional and read the one for today.

August 11

I AM CALLING YOU to a life of constant communion with Me. Basic training includes learning to live above your circumstances, even while interacting on that cluttered plane of life. You yearn for a simplified lifestyle, so that your communication with Me can be uninterrupted. But I challenge you to relinquish the fantasy of an uncluttered world. Accept each day just as it comes, and find Me in the mist of it all.

"Thank you Lord, I pray that you would lead and guide me today." I pray.

I put on my perfume and pack the rest of my things.

"You ready?" I ask.

"Yeah." Bell says.

We then walk downstairs to see Payt eating some grapes. She is wearing some blue jeans with a black shirt and some sandals.

"Good Morning." I say.

"Good morning." She's says.

I then go to the fridge and get out a yogurt and I get a spoon and start eating it. Once I'm finished I put the spoon in the sink and the yogurt in the trash. Then aunt Jamie walks around the corner she is wearing some jeans with a black blouse and some black flats.

"It's time to go." Aunt Jamie says.

As we get in the car Payton gets on the bus. Bell gets in the front I get in the back. The ride was quite we didn't really talk much. The birds are so beautiful as well as the sun rise!

We pull up to the school, we all get out. As we get out I see Miss Swan walking toward the school house. Today she is wear a black blouse with some blue dress pants and some black flats. Her and aunt Jamie start talking. Me and Bella just walk to the cafeteria to meet up with Anna and Edie.

"Good morning pookies." Edie says.

"Good morning." I say.

"Morning." Bell says.

"Hey, where's Sherwood?" I ask.

"He didn't feel like getting out of bed this morning so I just left him at the house." She explains.

"Oh, okay." I say.

That means I'll have to go to first period all by myself.

"Well we should probably get to class guys." Anna says.

"Yeah." We all say in unison.

They walk the opposite way I am. I turn the corner not really wanting to go to class by myself. Then I bump into someone, papers falling everywhere.

"I'm so sorry." I say.

"It's okay, just got to be more careful." Miss Swan says.

"Here let me help you." I say as I help her pick up the papers.

"Thank you." She says.

"Can you help me carry these to the library?" She asks.

"Yeah." I say.

We walk to the library not speaking just silence. We walk in the library and go to the back. She puts the papers down on a table, I do the same.

"Why did you decide for us to read Matilda?" I ask.

"Well, they had it in stock and I really love the movie." She says.

"Huh really, me too I used to watch that movie all the time when I was little." I say smiling.

"Guess we have more in common than we thought." She says.

She gets done putting the papers in the correct order and I help her carry them to her room.

"How's your day going?" I ask.

"It's been okay, and yours." She asks.

"It's been okay." I say.

"So, why did you want to be a teacher." I ask.

"Because I love English, and in the books and in the words of books is so much more meaning than what others may see." She says passionately.

"That's good." I say smiling.

She smiles and then looks away. We walk into her room and put the papers on her desk. The bell then rings.

"Well I better get to my next class." I say.

"Yeah, also what class were you supposed to be in?" She asks.

"Miss Scott's." I say.

"Okay, I'll tell her you were helping me." She says.

"Okay thank you." I say smiling as I walk out to go to maths.

You know she's actually not that bad when it's us just two. She quite nice.

After school I ride the bus home and get ready for church. After church I come home, wash and head to bed. I go to sleep as I say my prayers.
