"Jaida? Why do you keep falling asleep during class?" I sat up and stared at the teacher for a second. I wasn't sure if it was a look of concern or a glare. "I'm sorry, I just can't sleep at night for some reason." She nods hesitantly and dismisses me. I grab my things from under my desk and walk out. I only have 6th period left. I went to my locker to put everything in my bag and locked it," Are you going to tell me the reason why you're still here? Class ended a 10 minutes ago." "I'm sorry, Mr.Lewin. Ms.Graham held me back to help her with things." He folded his arms. "Alright then," he said with an odd tone. I speed walk out of the 600 hall and into the main hall. I only have a few minutes until class starts.
I passed my Band teacher who was waiting outside of his door. "10 seconds," he warned as I passed him. I nod and drop my things behind the rows of chairs. I set up my snare drum and wait to begin.
"Good morning, class!" Mr.Felix clapped his hands to gather as he spoke. "Good morning, Mr.Felix." Half the class replied.

"You may now pack up." We did as we were told. I threw my bag over my shoulder and my roller case that held my percussion set. "All Car Riders are dismissed. I repeat, all car riders are dismissed." I smiled alittle and walked outside and crossed the street to my Dad's car. "How was your day?" He asked. "Fine," I answered after putting my bag into the trunk. He lifted my set into the trunk also even though I could do it myself. We get into the car and go home.

As swoon as we got him I ran up stairs and into my room, grabbing a book. My brother walked into the room."Jaida, why are you always reading? It's annoying! Reading makes you boring," My brother said to me. I ignored him. "What's so good about a book, anyway? It's just a bunch of words. That's boring." 'Maybe because books don't talk.' I thought. He took the book away from me and threw it across the room. "What the hell!"I yelled. He just walked out of the room and I huffed and hopped off of my bed. 'Stupid brother...' He had thrown my book behind one of our boxes. I moved them and found a full body mirror. 'The hell...?" I shrugged it off and picked up my book, I tried to push myself back up using the mirror, but my hand went right through it. "WHAT THE-"
