Hi! My name is Emily, I have long, brown hair that goes to about my shoulder,brown eyes and am Mexican/American. I am 4'11 and fairly short for a 8th grader. I have two wonderful, loving parents and an annoying big brother. The weird thing is that I don't look like my parents. They have black eyes and black hair. I suppose we do look similar enough.

Emily's POV:
Beep, beep , beep

Ugh! My wonderful alarm clock woke me up. {note the sarcasm}
I got up from my comfy bed to get ready to go to the hell hole or how people call school. On the bright side today is my 14th birthday! I went and took a quick shower, blow dried my hair, put on a black crop top and high waisted Hollister jeans. I left my hair natural and put a flower crown on .I don't put makeup because I don't want to look like one of those cake face sluts at my school.

I made my way to the kitchen to see my family down stairs eating pancakes.
I told them "Couldn't you guys wait till I got here?".
"But you take an eternity getting ready!" Pepe whines.
"Emily eat! You do not want to be late for school, plus I got you a present. Have you chosen the dress for your 15?" my mother asks.
"Yes mom, The dress is peach"
( For those of you that don't know what a 15 is, it is a celebration of a Hispanic girls coming of age).

Pepe and I got into his car and he took me to school. I walk in to see my friends Arleth and Joselyn calling me.
"EMILY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" they yell. Arleth then proceeds to punch me fifteen times. We laugh and make our way to first period.

I see Pepe and I hop into his car with a big smile.
"School was good?" he asks
"It was amazing!" I reply.
We drive home and bickering on the way their.

We make it to the house after almost dying from Pepe's driving. My mother hands me an elegantly wrapped box. I open it and almost die of happiness....
