I had been waiting outside by the car trying to calm myself down, my eyes were still glossy as i stared into the distance before i heard the sound of footsteps coming at me, before i could look i was suddenly brought into a tight hug, i noticed a few bags dropped on the ground and who was the one responsible? Uncle Mike, he held me in his arms tightly as he caught his breath from supposedly running. All i could say was "im....scared of going...to school..." 

The ride home was silent, aside from the sound of the engine, that is until "what was Vince thinking...signing you up for school..!?" I turn my attention to him, i had calmed down from my small anxiety attack but looked at him blankly "i know you need to grow out of this problem, but seeing you so scared back at the Checkout line..." "j-just forget about it uncle, lets play video games after dinner okay?" I could tell he felt stressed from the way i had acted back at the store. 

Soon we got home and uncle Mike parked the car in the garage as i walked inside the front door with the bags, dad greeted me with a hug but when he felt how tense i was his smile dropped "sweetheart what's wrong?" Uncle Mike soon came in through the door that led from the garage to the kitchen, he glared at dad for a bit before telling me to go take a bath while he made dinner, i did as i was told and went upstairs with bags in hand, greeting uncle Fritz in the hall.

I set the bags near my door and got my pajamas and undergarments before taking a bath, i went to my personal bathroom and turned on the water,  i waited until the tub was full before getting my stereo and setting it on the counter to listen to music. soon i was in the warm water,  it was relaxing and it relieved all the tension in me. I washed up then dried myself before getting dressed

I was more used to exposing my arms at home and i liked the red pants because it looked so cute, i put a jacket on since i was a bit cold and blow-dried my hair before brushing it then tying it in a ponytail before heading downstairs, when i entered the kitchen i heard both uncle Mike and dad arguing about me going to school. Uncle Jeremy was trying to calm them down and so was Fritz "u-um dad?" I tried saying "you guys please stop fighting" i said again but still no one heard until i had it "everyone shut up!" I screamed and the room went dead silent, i was breathing heavily but sat down at the table "can we please have dinner without fighting...?" I asked softly, everyone sat down except for uncle Mike who served us each our food and then sat down with his food. I ate my usually dish before saying "i really want to conqur my fear but hearing you all bicker doesn't help" dad and uncle Mike looked at each other before uncle Jeremy said "are you sure you'll be all right on your own? This is a big step you know" 

I looked up at my family, feeling a bit determined "yeah.."
