"BUS 1050, BUS 1050!" Mr. Welling yells over the microphone. That's my bus. I walk over to the bus and get on. I walk down the aisle and see Peter sitting in our seat, #14. I sit next to him. Before I even sat down, he asks, "Have you seen the new girl? She looks so nerdy!"

"I thought she looked cute." I say, blushing. "Maybe because your a nerd bro." Peter says. "I am n- ... Ok, maybe just a little." I say. He's probably right though, I make straight A's, I love reading, and I play video games almost everyday. I look at Peter to see he's raising an eyebrow. "What?" I ask. "Did you invite her to your party?" He asks.

"Yep, sure did." I say proudly. "So you told her the time, date, place, and what type of party it is?" Peter asks.

"I told her the time and date." I say. I put my face in my hands. "How could I forget to tell her the place?!" I say out loud. "It's Ok, you can tell her tomorrow. Luckily it wasn't tonight." Peter helps. The bus starts rolling forward. The whole time we were on the bus, we we're talking about my birthday party tomorrow. What I was going to have, costumes we might wear, and who was going to be there. When the bus stopped at the first drop off, I said goodbye to Peter, and exited the bus. I started walking home. Its one block away from the bus stop, not too far. I walk inside to my house. It's a normal size house. Two floors, decent sized backyard with a pool, and a hot tub to die for. Anyway, enough of the bragging. "Hey Alex." Mom greets as I walk through the door. "Hey Mom, whatcha been doing?" 

"Being sick." She answers. Figures, she's been sick for a couple of days now. "Your cold will go away soon. Don't worry." I reassure. "I know. So, how was today?" she asks. "Nothing. But, everyone's ready for my party tomorrow." I say happily. "Hope so. Oh, and the dj called. He said he'll be here at nine o'clock." Mom tells me. "Alright, I'll be in my room, doing homework." I say. I walk to my room. I walk past my sister's room. She's in there playing on her 3DS.

She's 10 years old. Looks similar to me. Black hair, green eyes. Anyway, I go into my room. My room is normal, its a square, with enough room to fit a bed and desk. I walk over to my desk, pull out the chair and sit down. I take off my backpack and take out my homework, and my 'homework'. My 'homework' is the preparations for the party.

The bills for the dj, food, and light show I planned. I have a drawing of what its going to look like and everything. I am amazing at art if I do say so my self. I've won awards all my life for drawing, painting, whatever.

After sketching some of my drawing, I put it aside and started doing my real homework.
