BEEP BEEP BEEP
The boy rolls off his bed, hitting his head on his night stand. A groan slips from his lips as he rubs his sore head, lying on the floor. And here we go. Brad thinks to himself as he uses the bed to stand to get back on his feet. Every morning would hit him in the face. But Monday and the first day of school was seriously trying to knock him out.
He rummages through his closet, looking for something presentable to wear. Sometimes Brad wished he was like Tris, or James who can just throw on a top and bottoms without thinking twice about if it matched or not. But being as self-conscious as Brad was, didn't make what to wear an easy decision. He goes with a pair of black skinny jeans and a white arctic monkeys t-shirt, simple yet a little better than usual.
After making the decision on what to wear he hops down the stairs easily, and into the kitchen where he greets his mom with a smile. Brad goes straight for the fridge to find breakfast, but finding nothing that appealed to him, he resorted to the cupboard.
"You seem fairly excited for school" his mom exclaims, a smirk spreading across her lips. This causes Brad to scowl at his mother making her laugh at him. "What am i wrong?" she teases as Brad throws two pieces of bread into the toaster.
"Ugh, are you kidding" Brad rolls his eyes and Anne just shrugs at her boy. "one more year and ill be done with school" he beams at his mother who now wore a proud smile. brad is an excellent kid she had always thought. even though every mother would think that Anne felt it. He was confident and knew what he wanted, and he wasn't afraid to go and get it. He was true to himself and worked hard in school. everything a mother can be proud of.
"thats right! my baby boy is all grown up now. first day of senior year!" Brad gives her a look when she calls him her baby boy just like he did when he was young and she called him sweetie in front of his friends. even though he had grown up immensely some things just don't change. "I'm really happy for you" she decides to add as brad pulls out his toast, spreading butter across it rapidly.
"thanks mom." Brad blushes at the praise from his mother and he takes a bit of his toast noticing the tears starting to well in her eyes. "Are you alright?"He asks worriedly, putting his toast down on the counter and walking over to Anne.
"yeah, I'm fine" she assures the brunette, brushing the tears from her eyes "its just been a pleasure to watch you grow up." she smiles placing her hand on her boys cheek who smiles back at her.
"im not gone yet." he teases "stop trying to get rid of me so fast" Brad laughs, pulling her hand away just after he gives it a squeeze. He then returns to his breakfast, trying to shove it in his mouth so he could have enough time to go through his school supplies one las time.
"hey don't rush, you'll be fine" his mom says looking at the clock. "its only 7:30" she smiles at him and he nods slightly.
"alright mom, ill just be upstairs" he announces as he runs back up the stairs frantically causing Anne to sigh a little and return to her coffee. Brad empties his backpack making a mental check list as he puts everything back in. pencils, check. erasers, check. and so on so forth. He wanted today to be perfect. After about 10 minutes (even though he was still anxious he would forget something) he decided he was set, and galloped down the stairs kissing his mothers cheek before leaving.
"have a good day, bradley" she calls from inside the house as brad steps out, waving to her in return before closing the door and running off to school.
