  Miles woke up to the burning smell of food; his mother wasn’t the best cook. He decided to get do his regular routine. He jumped in the shower, brushed his teeth, washed his face and got dressed. Miles wasn’t any extraordinary teen, he always just wore jeans and a plain white T-shirt. He walked downstairs to find his mom coughing and saying “Breakfast may be a while”.  He sat down while his mother brought him his food. “Uh... Mom I don’t think pancakes are suppose to be black” He said. “Oh they can’t be that bad Miles” she said as she tried one and almost immediately spit it out “how about we go get something to eat on the way to school” “Fine by me” Miles said as he thought of what he was going to want. His mother went to find her car keys, Miles hasn’t gotten his driver license yet only his permit but his mother still didn’t trust him with her brand new corolla.

They got some McDonald's and Miles got dropped off a block away, he was kinda embarrassed by his mom. She worked at a newspaper company and she wrote about how to take care for your teens and she based it off of Miles. He has told her to never mention his name in her work but she does it all the time and it makes him want to suicide sometimes (although he would never do it).  He met up with his friends by the fountain, Sarah a blonde girl who had green eyes and Miles had a crush on her and also John a brown haired nerd that always has a sense of humor and Miles best friend sense Kindergarten. "Where've you've been" Sarah said. "Mom almost burnt down the house again so we got some McDonald's" Miles replied,"Got anything for me" John said as he was pulling out all the things from the McDonald's bag. "You guys can split the hash-brown, I'm not that hungry" he replied. They both cheered and split the hash-brown. The bell rang and they rushed to class, they all had different first period classes but all met up in second period for ceramics. Miles ran  to his class, it was all the way at the other side of the school. He came in with his over-exaggerated teacher telling him he was late, even though he was only a minute late. He though what else is new as he sat down next to this girl named Miranda. She glanced at him then looked away, he didn't really have friends in this class. He just sat around waiting for the next period.

  Once he got to his second period he sat in the middle of Sarah and John. "How was first period guys" Miles said. "Boring" they both replied,"What about you" Sarah said after. "Same, he said I was late I basically fell asleep and then came here, the regular routine" All of a sudden a violent shaking popped up.Miles can hear screaming as the roof fell in, but there was one that pierced his heart... Sarah. "SARAH!" cried Miles. Thats all he can remeber from that day.
