¨ROSALINE GET OUT OF BED OR SHRED YOUR SORRY HIDE OFF!¨ 

I had flinched as those words entered my ears, as it was being directly screamed into my right ear. My ears rang for a few moments, which woke me up even more than I was. I had opened my eyes, darkness had filled the room, but I could see my mother moving away from the bed and basically yanking open the drapes to my balcony window. The room brightened up instantly, which I had wanted to hide underneath my fluffy lavender blankets, but I knew better. Last time I did that my mom had basically ripped my bedcovers off and pulled me onto the floor. 

I had glanced around the room, the light color lavender making its appearance in my room many times. Lavender walls, with white trim. My floor wasn't carpet, no it was light wood. I had a rug that was lavender, though. I had then quickly gotten up once I saw my clock, which read 7:32 AM. If I didn't hurry, Id miss the bus again, which then Id have to walk to school and I do not fantasy walking a mile or two to school. Besides, It was the first day of high school! A new school and the even newer chance of making more friends. 

Plus, I might meet my mate today too if I get lucky. Your thinking, 9th grader your way too young for a mate yet! Actually, no. I started school a year late, so I'm fifteen turning sixteen. I would have been in 10th grade, but I was a late bloomer. I didn't even start growing my physical changes until I was in the middle of 6th grade ( would have been 7th grade if I actually didn't start late ). What I meant, was my animal.

My spirit animal. Everyone has one. My mothers is a tiger and my best friend Charlotte ( I call her Charlie) is a cute panda bear. I betcha my dad would have been a great big lion with how fierce my mom is, but, she told me her mate went missing and shes never saw him since. I have no Idea what mine is, I'm probably some sort of deer or antelope since I have big antlers sticking out of my head. I haven't shifted yet, but I should start in a few weeks. Everyone starts in 10th grade (depending on your genetics) but I guess I'm starting early...haha I'm kidding. Everyone starts in 9th grade..so I'm a year late but never mind that I'm a 9th grader! 

Of course, I quickly shoo my mom out of my room and start getting dressed. I pull off my black nightgown that had reached mid-thigh and pulled on some thigh high socks that were lavender with white stripes. I wore some white shorts with this lavender crop top (except it was bigger on me so it covered my midriff mostly) so only my shoulders were showing. For shoes, I pulled on my high tops that were white, but they had black heels in them. I basically loved these shoes. They looked a bit worn on the front where I pushed the shoe into the ground to stop. 

Anyway, I had just grabbed my bag, put my needed school supplies in, and my phone plus my headphones and charger. My phone case had clouds on it that were blue, white, light pink, and lavender on it. On the back of it, I had a silicone cat squishy stuck to the back. Don't ask why I just love this thing so much. 

After gathering all of this, I skated down the hallway sat on my butt and scooted down the stairs and went to the kitchen. I grabbed a package of smores pop tarts and put them in my bag. I had gone out of the kitchen and quickly went out the front door. I had moved down to my shoes and pressed a bottom on the back that hid the wheels and effectively made it so I wouldn't skate all over the place. 

On my way to the bus stop, I heard my mom open the door and yell out,

¨Have a good day at school Rose, don't get in trouble!¨

I had quickly replied to her,¨Ill try not to Ma!¨

I started to run as I saw the bus in sight, speeding towards the bus stop. I had made it just in time. There were about three other people in the line. I naturally was the youngest, with the oldest being a senior. They all had their spirit animals showing. What I meant, was that one of them had faint stripes that were on their skin which showed they were a tiger. Another had horns poking out of their mouth which showed they were probably a warthog. The last one had canine fangs sticking out of his mouth, along with elongated claws which showed a wolf.
