"IBRAHIM, GET OUT OF BED THIS INSTANT!", my mom shouted from the kitchen

I woke up to the sound of my mom yelling alarms to get out of bed.
I rose up my bed but didn't get out of the blankets.

"COMING MOM!" I shouted back.

I took my phone bear my pillow, checked and realized that I kept snoozing my alarm. It was 6:30 and school starts at 9. I sighed and I dropped back on the bed, I gaze at the curtains of my windows with the sun shining through them. I lied down for about 5 more minutes and I finally got out of the bed.

  I went into the bathroom hopped in for a quick shower, brushed my teeth, washed my face dried and combed my hair. I got out of the bathroom, picked out an outfit and get dressed. Today I'm wearing a Nike sweat pants and a plain white loose long sleeve shirt.

I put on socks, grabbed my backpack and my phone and I head downstairs to the kitchen. In the kitchen my mom had finished preparing breakfast. Mom had prepared eggs and bacon, veggie salad and fruit salad on the side and a glass of water as a drink, a super classic American breakfast. I swung my backpack around the chair, set my phone near my plate of food, sat down, and started eating.

When I'm halfway eating, my dad asked

"So son how are your studies doing?"

"It's going ok, it's the middle of the semester already." I replied.

Forgot to mention, I'm a junior, and the first semester just ended last week.

"Well son, we just wanted you to know that your mom and I will be going on a business trip." My dad said all of a sudden.

I nearly choked on my food.

"WHAT?" I spatted out, surprised, while standing up.

"I said your mom and I are-,

" I heard what you said." I stopped him midway.

"Why all out of the blue though?" I asked.

"Well, yesterday my job had announced a new project out and asks the staff workers who would like to take part in it and I volunteered to do and the pay is high and if it turns out good maybe a promotion too." He explained.

"I'm going with him because I don't trust him alone." My mom said.

I sighed and I fell back on my chair and I continue to finish my breakfast. My dad has gone on trips before but haven't in a while and by while I mean years. He usually goes alone because mom is worried about me and stays to take care of me because I was in my Elementary years. I finished breakfast and put it in the dishwasher. I looked at the clock and it was only 7:15. I grabbed my backpack and phone, slipped on my Adidas running shoes and was a bout to head out until my mom said,

"Ibrahim, grab a jacket it's gonna be cold."

I sighed in frustration, I did want to argue with her so I ran back upstairs to grab a jacket, it was a regular zip up. I went back downstairs and was about to head out I paused for a sec and turned around to see my parents still eating and asked,

"How long are you guys gonna be gone?"

My dad faces me and said,

"I'm not sure yet actually, but I might find out today and tell you tonight."

"Ok" I replied, and headed out the door.

I walked to the bus stop and wait for the bus to come. I grabbed my headphones from my backpack, plugged it in the phone and my ears, I turned on my phone and started strolling down for music. 5 minutes later the bus came and I hopped on. The bus wasn't really crowded since it's a bit early. It's mostly crowded passed 8. It takes me about 40 minutes to an hour to get to school for me, depending on traffic. If your why I go school a bit earlier is 'cause I like to play soccer in the morning with my friends. I was in the soccer team and track for 2 years, Freshmen and Sophomore. I'm getting ready for the 3rd year the tryout is next week and I'm excited.

I looked out the window and noticed that I was on the freeway, judging by the amount of cars there are traffic is most likely to happen. I went back to my phone and went on Instagram. I don't really post, I mostly go there for news and no new news so far. While scrolling down looking at stories and I after a couple I switched out of Instagram to look at News. I strolled down to look and most of the news were from yesterday no new news so far. I sighed and refreshed the page to see if anything new. I did and a few popped up and there was one that caught my eye.

"News, the famous CEO Ivan Albert Volkov has been spotted with another lady, and this time it was another model that was sponsored by a bikini company. Now in his previous relationships they are mostly bar girls or models. Countless of women are wanting to get him but he is always so cold. Hmmm makes us wonder why sometimes, "why can't he settle down"? He is asks that by reporters he always replies "I haven't found my perfect match." Well that is the news for now Stay tuned for more.

   I sighed once again well that is the celeb life for you. Can never find your perfect pair since a ton of them are most likely after there looks or money. Now that I think about it I have never seen how he looks like I went to the google search image and typed in, Ivan Albert Volkov. His image popped up and I randomly clicked on one and I have to admit he is handsome, he has that frosty snow cold glare that can make you fall in trance. The more I looked the more I can't look away.

"No, no, no, no Ibrahim, you are not gay!" I said in my thoughts and shook his head.

  I looked out the window and realized we were out of the freeway and one stop away before I get to my destination. The bus stopped and I hopped off. The bus stop was half a block away from school so it wasn't far. I arrived at my destination and went inside straight to the yard I saw a couple of my friends starting to play already so I dropped my backpack on a bench and went to the field to started playing.
