Mom

Chapter One

I woke up in my blue and orange bedspread on the floor. Again? I had been having nightmares lately. It was me running through the woods except I wasn't me in the dream. I was my mom, and I was in my twenties. It was incredibly weird, and I'm not going to bore you with the details.

After I pushed the bedspread off of me and stood up, I walked to my (small) closet. I had an okay room, it was an average teenage girl's room. Except today I had a note on my dresser. I picked it up and recignized my mother's handwritting. As soon as I read it I was extatic!! I quickly picked out my favorite shirt, an orange one that read 'Camp-Half Blood'. I loved reading Rick Rordan's Percy Jackson Series. He came out with a new series too. House of Olympus, I think that's what it was called. We live in a bad neighborhood so I don't get out much.

I looked down at my PJ bottoms, can't go to school with PJ's on! Okay I know that people do it but this was my first time going to an actual school! I was so excited. Rewind about 11 years. I was five, I was just about to start kindergarten, we had to move in the summer because my mom had "lost her job". But now looking back at it I can tell she was scared of something or someone and had quit because she wanted to leave. The real problem was the uproar in the class on one of the last days. Some parent had a problem with my mom and it caused a huge problem with us.

Anyways! My mom had loved her job and she never wanted to quit, unless forced. Anyways, we moved to Davenport, Iowa and I went to my house for school. Moving was bad enough but to stay at home was terrible. No friends, no boys (in the later years I knew it would become an important emotion thing or something like that.), no people, etc.

That's why I was so excited to start real school!! I threw on some new clothes that my mom had brought home last night while I was asleep. I thought about putting earrings on but then just put them back in the small box of jewlery I have.

I cant wait to start!! I decided to brush my teeth and comb my hair. My teeth are probably what some people would consider "nice", and my hair, my mother tells me, is soft. I decide to toy around with it since I want to look good my first day.

My mom makes sure that I go to a dentist once every year. All they do is check for what is called cavities. I haven't any for as long as I can remember. Which is good. My mom says I can get a job soon if I want. So may oppertunities have come in the last couple of months. I can't wait.

I decide to leave my hair down. I put in a circular head band that goes all the way around my head. It has leaves on it so It looks like it might be a type of crown. I normally use it for when I'm on the treadmill downstairs so my hair isn't in my face. Gym class sends your hair flying. Then I brush my teeth. My life isn't particularly interesting, I know it isn't, but I didn't care.

I went downstairs and tried to set up my breakfast. Now where the heck is the toaster? I put my hands on my hips and thought about it. I looked in a cabnet under the counter. I pulled the toaster out then put in chocolate chip waffles and waited.

Author's Note: Sorry y/n I would be posting Chapter 2 right now but I've been really upset about the recent death of Robin Williams. He was in Patch Adams, Mrs.Doubtfire, Jumanji, Night of the Museum 1 & 2, and Aladdin. Did you know he was the genie? He's a big inspiration of mine and I loved his movies. He was ssooo funny and I just need time to adjust to the news. Thanks for understanding. I'll post after I'm done moping. I'll probably watch some of his movies and other finny ones and be over it thanks! Bye y/n! Thanks for being a great reader and friend I'll get back to you soon, maybe.
