Waking up to the warmth of the sun against my soft skin and to the sweet smell of coffee brewing. I leaned over my bed and saw the clock on my night stand that read 7:00. Never in summer did I have to wake up this early.  Before I knew my aunt was standing at y doorway giving me a heart attack. She tells me with such innocense, "Good morning Eli, there eggs and bacon waiting for you in the breakfast nook." I stretch my body and stare at her with annoyance, "I'm a vegan aunt Grace; only eat grains, fruits, and vegetables. But thanks for telling me you cooked an innocent pig who only lived a cruel life along with chicks who never got to seize a day in this beautiful world." "Well I didn't know you were a vegan", she says in response to my comment. "Well maybe if you stayed apart of my life when mom was around maybe you would have known. Then again I've only been living here with you for about a year and yet you still don't try to get to know me." My aunt seems astonished by my testimony, after all this was the longest conversation we'd ever had. "I didn't know you were so opinionated either, but if I am not mistaken; which I don't think I am;  you haven't talked to me until just now. So sorry if I haven't been putting in quite the effort, but it's not like you have so I wouldn't be talking." Then all I heard after that was the hard wooden floor thump as I sit on the edge of my bed thinking how my aunt has a point.

Sadly I am stuck with this mad woman until college and today a wish that wasn't suppose to come true, did. With a car filled with two people in silence makes things super awkward. Not to mention that the two people is one busy body and the other being a waste of space. Finally we arrive to our destination which happens to be the school that withholds my transcripts. This school was called The Academy of Celebrity Arts, doesn't seem to obvious to be a school full of famous high school students. Althought the architect is quite out of the ordinary. It looks like it was built in the medieval europe times or another stage for the Harry Potter movies. Still there are no sudden urges of talking, we wait in silence for our turn to speak with the principle. In the matter of time, I've became bored and with this stage of being emotionless my eyes travel around the room. Spotting familiar faces all over the walls, and after analyzing each indivduals' face they were all celebrities. There goes for the school's creepy achievements, no doubt would I want to have the opportunity of being in a quiet office with eyes starring at me and best part, they're celebrities. "Ms. Hill the principle would like to see you." And so it starts.

First look at the principle and trust me you wouldn't want to meet her in person. She looks better on a 5X7 frame than at her desk looking all prestiguous. "So Ms. Hill, I'd recieve Ms. Taylor's transcripts thinking it would be the famous Elizabeth Taylor; then I was mistaken for a normal teenager. In no offense, why would you send an ordinary child's transcripts to an all celeb school?" In my thoughts I wanted to tell that woman how UGLY she is, even if it did hurt her feelings."Excuse me mame, I'm sorry if I put down the wrong address and for waisting your time, but all I am here for is to get back those transcripts so I can register her for the public high shcool. That way she would no longer be any of your concern." As much as I am at war with my aunt I found myself in agreement with her at this point. Then the Queen B opened her abyss, otherwise known as her mouth. "Well Ms. Hill as much as I would like to place this girl where she truly belongs I can't. The schools are no longer registering students until the end of winter break. Until then she must be attending to this school for her first semister. So if you go to Mrs. Kefer at the front desk she will provide you her schedule, school I.D and locker information; now are there any questions if not you may leave." Once I gathered everything I needed we left without a problem. Except for the fact that I am pissed; no way in hell did I want to go to this school. Matter of fact this is the last place on earth would I ever wanted to get my education from here. Hope January comes fast.

Monday morning....

I wake up to the loud and annoying sound of my alarm while my aunt is in How far is the school from here?" "About a couple of blocks, why?" She says in response. " I'm walking, see ya for dinner." Then I was out the door before she could say anything else.
