I wake up to the sound of my aggravating alarm clock. I slam my fist on the snooze button, falling off my bed in the process.

As much as I want to go back to my cozy and inviting bed, I knew that sooner or later, I'd have to start packing.

My parents decided to take an earlier flight to Georgia, so most of our furniture will have already been shipped by the time I get there.

I grab my Nike duffle bag and start packing my headphones, my iPhone charger, my Mac Book, its charger, a book, fluffy socks, a pair of sweatpants just in case, my small pillow, my sketchbook and pencils, and my toothbrush and other bathroom essentials.

I groggily get into the shower, and brush my teeth on the way. Is it just me, or is anyone else lazy enough to just brush their teeth in the shower? Yeah, no, probably just me. I throw my hair into a messy bun and start getting dressed. I change into my mint blue PINK hoodie with my black leggings and my tall gray UGG boots, along with my favorite black beanie. I was basically wearing my bed.

I already had my luggage shipped to Georgia, along with my baby.

By baby, I mean my black Jeep Wrangler.

I called a cab as I hopped down the stairs.

I quickly ate a PB and banana sandwich. Is that weird? Then I just pour my over-creamed coffee into my travel mug.

I grab some cash as I heard a car horn. I get into the taxi and looked back, for the last time, at the house that I grew up in. Even though my life is quiet and I'm basically antisocial, I'm still going to miss all the memories I've made in this place, both good and depressing.

As I walk into the airport in, I scan through the crowds, looking for my parents.

As I get closer, I see the familiar brown eyed, curly haired, ugly, goofball looking brother of mine. He looks the same as he did before he left for college, except for his little 5 o'clock shadow.

"Eden!" He exclaimed," long time no see, baby sis!"

"Hey Dan, how's college going for ya?" I ask, "because you look like you need help." I say, honestly, chuckling to myself.

He gave me a 'seriously' face and rolled his eyes. "I haven't seen you in months and this is how you greet me?" He says, dramatically putting his hand on his hips.

" I FaceTimed you yesterday." I say.

He just answers with a glare. "Ugh. Whatever," he says, " oh and how's life? Any boys I should know of?" He asks with a glare.

I immediately shake my head. He's just going to get all protective, as usual.

Well, it's not like I have boys lining up anyways. Dan is freakishly tall and quite buff. He would probably chase them off with is towering height of 6'6".
That's right. 6'6". He's literally a foot taller that me.

"What about you? Got girls lining up?" I ask, teasingly. "Wouldn't you know it?" He says sarcastically, doing his weird eyebrow wiggle thing.

As we walk out of the airport, I noticed that it's quite hot and humid. Maybe I'll take my dad's offer to go to the lake.

"Aye Dan, want to go to the lake later on?" I ask.

Dan leads me to his F150 and puts my suitcase in the back.

"Sure, but your neighbors are probably going to be there." He mumbles.

I'm a little nervous about meeting new people. Anyway it shouldn't hurt to make some new friends, since my mom told me that two of them are my age. The neighbors have five kids total.

"Ok then, we'll go when I'm done unpacking and all that fun stuff." I say turning on the radio to Losers by The Weeknd.

The rest of the ride was mostly me singing along, or staring out the window, until I slowly fell into a deep sleep.

*****

I wake up to the sound of creaking metal and Beyoncé. I turn off the radio and look up to see huge black metal gates slowly swinging open to reveal a gigantic house, which closely resembles the 'Mean Girl Mansion'.

I gape at the house as my jaw basically falls to the floor.

"You planning on catching flies Ed?" Dan says in a mocking tone.

I close my mouth and stick my tongue out at him.

"Your face." I reply, having no witty comebacks.

He chuckled in amusement. "Haven't changed a bit I see." He says as I roll my eyes.
