*beepbeep. beepbeep*. "SHUT UPPPPPPPPPP!!!" I scream as I slam my hand down on the alarm clock which isnt there.

"Honey! It's time to get up!," my mom says in a very singsongy voice.

Shit, my mom must have put the clock across the room last night after she said good night---beepbeep--  "Alright, Alright I'm up, I'm up." I holler back down as I get up and scramble across the room to shut that annoying thing up. She has done this a couple times before. It's her back to school specialty for me. She knows I wont get up on the first day unless I am forced to get up and an annoying clock will do the trick. 

I look at my phone and see that I have a text message from my friend Jenna. She is like the only friend I have. Im not really a people person. 

Jenna: hey loser! wanna ride in my new car to school today? finally got one. so stoked!

Me: lol ya sure. 

Jenna: Ok see you at 7:30. 

I decide i really should consider getting ready for school. I mean it might be a good idea. Just maybe. I keep thinking to myself as my body has already reacted and it already half way to the bathroom. Just as I turn the handle on the door it gets stuck and it takes me a couple seconds to register that my brother is probably in there doing his morning routine: geling his hair into a quiff. Oh teenage boys and their looks. My brother is a really good looking kid for his age. I'm quite surprised. If I was 14 and I had a guy like my brother in my grade I would probably have a crush on him. wait wut? is that weird? I have a feeling it is. Oh well. you get the point. As i'm thinking to myself I dont even realize that Jason is already outside of the bathroom poking my should telling me to get moving.

"Sorry Jason."

 "Its ok but you need to hury up because Mom made blueberry pancakes and Dad's gonna eat them all if you dont hurry up."

Well that snapped my head up. I rush into the bathroom slam the door use the toilet brush my teeth and then before you know it i'm alrady rushing back into my room.

"what to wear, what to wear, what to wear..." I start muttering to myself as I am pushing through my clothes and im back to my tired self going leisurely through my clothes before I finally come across something. Great its my black Ramones t-shirt that I cut into a tank a while back. I love this shirt. and now bottoms..... Oh great I found it! my washed out/faded/cut off/highwasted grey shorts. My red hightop converse. Perfect so far. uhhh now I still have to do my hair and make up. As I sit down at my vanity I cant help but start drifting off again before I snap back and realize I have to decide: "straight or curly...... shit shit shit. O! I know, straight. Wow......am I really talking to myself right now?"    "yes" a little voice inside my head says. As I was straightening my hair I could help but wonder if this year would be any different from last. As I start dy dreaming away again I realize my hair is done. O goody now makeup. I think Im just gonna go with browns and golds. that makes my brown eyes look good....i think. at least i think it does. I dont really care what anybody else thinks I mean,hell, its my body, my face. I grab my book bag and jacket and race down stairs. As I get downstairs and sit down I hear," HONK HONK." Great jenna is here i think as i grab two pancakes and stat shoving them in my mouth as I say goodbye. 

"Geez" I say as Jenna smirks. Her car is sweet. Its a Subaru convertible. Its go a nice grey paint and its shiny and brand new. I start running my hand over the car and she starts saying," Ummmm Autumn...."

"Ya?" I say in a dreamy state still dazed by her amazing car.

"We gotta get going."

"Oh." I say as I sit down in her nice leather seats.
