So it began
It was the first day of school after the long holiday. I generally hated school, I mean the part where I had to go to class and do homework and such. It was my senior year, finally! And I got to spend it with my best friends of course. I couldn't ask for anything more. We all knew that at the end of the year we'd have to go our separate ways and that made us all sad but we had all agreed to just go with the flow and make the best of this year.
I woke up with a genuine smile and a light feeling, although my dad was practically screaming my name by then. I mean, did that man ever sleep ?! I got up from my bed as i heard the "Winter!" shouts get closer to my room. I opened my door and tried to act like I'd been awake for hours by then. "Morning Thom" i said in a voice that was too high pitched. Of course he saw right through it though. "Morning Winter, now get into the shower and come down for breakfast or you'll be late for your first day back" he lightly kissed my forehead as he said this and made his way back downstairs.
Thom was my step dad, but by now I really considered him my dad since he'd basically taken care of me from the time I was 11 when my mother had decided that home life simply wasn't enough for her and she'd gone on her first adventure in Europe. She'd said she was returning in a few months but after six months of being gone, she told dad and I that she'd met someone and was moving to Finland. For a while I'd thought I'd go with her but there was just too much for me in Ridgehood that I just couldn't leave behind. So I'd stayed with Thom and we lived an altogether happy life here.
