~AMILY CHARLOTTE ASTON~

It was an early summer; The sun peeked through my window; Its warm rays gently coaxed me awake. The sunshine cast a beautiful glow on my face.

I stretched and felt a mix of excitement. As I was getting out of bed, I heard my mom's enthusiastic voice outside my room. "Morning, Amy! wake up and come downstairs soon! It's your first day of college and I don't want you to be late, dear..." her excitement was infectious, and I couldn't help but smile as I began to get ready for this new chapter!

After a refreshing bath, I quickly dried my hair, and just as I was getting ready, my phone rang. It was my best friend, Lara. I answered and she exclaimed, "Hey Amy, are you ready? I will be there in few minutes!" without waiting for my response, she hung up.

This habit of hers that always made me chuckle, despite being a bit of frustrating at times. I remembered how I met her when I was in kindergarten and from there to now... we shared a lot of memories together over years.

I picked out a cute pink skirt along with white crop from my closet, hoping they'd make great first-day outfit. Just as I heard my brother's steps approaching my room, I quickly tied up my blonde hair, which had a brownish shine. I rushed out of my room, with my bag and phone.

My brother looked widely towards me and said "Come on, let's have breakfast!" he is the only person to be much curious about my life and to find ways to poke fun at me.

As I entered the kitchen, my mom's face lit up with a warm smile as she looks in my outfit "You're dressed and ready so early! I'm impressed" she said, beaming with pride. "Now, come have some breakfast, dear".

I sat beside my dad, who was savouring his coffee. He turned to me with a gentle smile and said, "Morning dear, I hope you slept well. As your classes start today, remember to focus on studies.

I know I don't need to remind you, since you've always been diligent student, but don't forget to have fun with your friends too".

I nodded in agreement with my dad and continued eating my breakfast alongside my brother. Just then, the doorbell rang, and my brother rolled his eyes, as he knew exactly who it was-my best friend, Lara.

My mom opened the door, and Lara greeted her warmly before stepping inside. She also wished my dad a good morning, then turned to my brother cheerfully and said "Hey Nick, good morning! Are you coming with us or heading out with Ethan?" my brother replied that he'd be going with Ethan, our neighbour's son.

As we stepped out, Lara gave me a warm smile and said, "You look pretty and hot, Amy!" I returned the compliment by telling her how great is looked in her jeans and top. We exchanged sweet words, enjoying the friendly banter.

Lara parked her bike in our garage, and I pulled out my car, a gift I had received on my 18th birthday.

I felt a surge of excitement as we set off towards our college. We chatted enthusiastically as I drove, eager to start our new academic journey together.
