THE OSH

Chapter 1

'BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP' I wake up to the sound of my loud, annoying alarm clock going off. I am not ready to start the day. I am exhausted. I stayed up late last night trying to finish my never ending science project about the string theory. Since there is almost nothing known about the string theory the project was next to impossible. Yet I have to get ready for another day of seventh grade at green leaf middle school. I walk over to my window and open my blinds. It is a very sunny fall day. For a second I felt like the sun was going to blind me

But now I am used to it. Downstairs I hear my older sister Riley and my mom. It smells like pancakes. "Come down honey! I made pancakes," my shouted up the stairs confirming what I smelt." Now I need to get dressed, I thought. Inside my drawer I have hardly any of my own clothes. Most of them are hand me downs from Riley. Riley is always telling me about her life in middle school which seems completely different from mine but now she is in high school. I grab my blue t-shirt and my lime green sweat pants. I put them on but I am a bit chilly so I grab my baggy blue sweatshirt as well. Riley thinks that I should dress nicer but I don't really care. I just like to be comfortable. When I came downstairs Riley wasn't there so I assumed she already left with her friends. I sit down with my mom. We each have a green plate in front of us and in the middle is a platter with a stack of pancakes. Next to it is the butter and maple syrup. I grab to pancakes and put on butter and maple syrup yet the formation of my maple syrup and butter never looks the same as the perfect pancakes on T.V. My mom was acting me why I was up so late last night so I explained the whole science project thing to her. She understood yet told me I had to get a good night sleep tonight. Looking at the clock I realize I have to go so I say "bye" to my mom, throw my lunch bag in my bag and run out the door. I get on my blue bike and ride off to school. On the way I pass Riley's high school and see riley walking in with two of her friends, Krista and Jenna. Riley is wearing a blue and white baseball tee with black jeans and her hair is tied up in a high pony tail with a pink scrunchie around it. Krista is wearing black leggings and a long pink and black striped top with three quarter length sleeves and her long red hair is hanging down. Jenna is wearing galaxy legging and a black tank top with a flower black sweater. She has blonde her which is in a pony tail. She is also wearing a blue hat. Finally after the five minute bike ride I am at school. Everyone is arriving. I ride over to the old rusty bike rack and lock my bike. I put my helmet in my back back and walk in the doors of the big school. The first bell rang so I run to my locker. I twist my lock putting in the combination 26 18 62. I take my helmet out of my back pack hang it in my locker and take out my binders and notebooks for the first four periods. Then it will be lunch and that's when I will switch my binders and notebooks from the first four periods with the binder and notebook I will need for the last five periods. I put my lunch bag in my locker and run to home room. There I see most of my class of 22 kids sitting down. Ms. Spyer however is not here yet. She is usually on time. Then the second bell rings. Now it is the time wear they play

O' Canada over the P.A system and we all stand and sing the national anthem. Now Ms. Spyer might be stuck standing in the hallway. The anthem is done and morning announcements start. I sit at my desk in the second row in the middle and half of the class is listening to the morning announcements while the other half just talks. Finally Ms.Spyer comes running in. "I'm sorry I'm late," she says almost out of breath. She was wearing her usual which was a little weird. She tied her black hair up into a bun which seemed a little messy today. She wore a black shirt and black pants. She wears almost all black everyday. She has black running shoes on as well. The only colour on her besides her skin is her blue and orange watch which appears to have been cracked. As she writes in the black chalkboard I notece that her watch says OSH. I wonder what that stands for?
