    My eyes open to the bland beige ceiling I see every morning. My alarm clock is ringing with the "Wake Up!" alarm I made myself, which consists of me screaming the words "WAKE UP!". I drag myself out of my small bed to start the day.
    Downstairs, my mother has burnt pancakes set on a plate for my breakfast. She is reading the newspaper and muttering acidic insults about America's economy. "Good morning, mother." I sigh, sitting down at the creaky table.
    "Good morning, dear. How did you sleep?" My mother asks, setting her cup down lightly.
    "I slept fine." I lie, recalling the nightmare I had the night before. "Thank you for the breakfast." My mother nods and returns to her newspaper.
    "You're welcome. Also, your father is picking you up today. He has a surprise for you!" Surprise? I wonder inwardly. My father never has surprises for me. He usually is never home.
    I eat my breakfast swiftly, making sure not to be late to school for the fifth time this week. Finally, I kiss my mother goodbye and head off to the torture prison nicknamed school.
