Quick note Delané pronounced [del-le-NAY] has three nicknames Lané, Dell or Dells. Lané is originally meant to be pronounced as [le-NAY] but in the story I'm changing the pronunciation to [lan-EE] for anyone who's curious. Alright, just a heads up my writing does get better as I go along because I guess I got older as the story progresses and I began writing this when I was still pretty eh. That's all babes.

Delané's P.O.V.
"Delané Santos get up now! That alarm isn't going to turn itself off!" I groan and stretch out my arms, covering my ears to shield them from the annoying sound of the alarm. It should be illegal to start a new school year on a Monday. I open my eyes and let out a long yawn, still adjusting to the new day.

"DELANÉ IF I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO TURN THAT ALARM OFF ONE MORE TIME!" Mom yells from her bedroom, I could tell she was getting annoyed.

"It's going off now! Calm down, gee." I look at the piece of crap that was on my bedside table and switched it off. You know what else should be illegal? Alarm clocks and their stupid tunes.

I pull my blanket over my head and crawl out of bed. Winter mornings in Toronto are freezing and the houses are basically like Elsa's house in frozen. Why am I even referring to that movie?

I walk out of my room and then tiptoe down the stairs trying not to wake my baby sister. The house was chilly and dark, kinda felt like I was in a horror movie.

"BOO!"

I yelp and jump five feet into the air and then tumbled down the rest of the stairs.

"Ouchhhhhh!! What was that for mommmm?" I rub my leg and look up towards the top of the stairs.

"Revenge on you for not turning off that alarm of yours. You should've seen the look on your face, oh my god it was priceless." Mom bursts out laughing clutching the railing for balance.

"Haha very funny mom." I roll my eyes and stand up as I walk into the kitchen switching on the lights as I go.

"Ready for your first day as a Junior honey?" Mom asks as she walked into the kitchen. I grab a box of cereal out of the cupboard, some milk and then a bowl and spoon.

"Ehh, I dunno I guess? I'm just pumped to see meh friends again." I pulled out a chair from under the table and sat down.

"I'm not trying to add any extra stress onto you Lané, but, just remember that this is an important year of high school for you. You have to make sure you put in as much effort as you can and try your best, that doesn't mean your grades have to be perfect, I won't be disappointed in you if I know you've worked to the best of your ability." I nod and eat the last spoonful of my cereal.

"Course mamãe (momma in Portuguese), you don't have to worry at all." I give her a quick peck on the cheek and then walk upstairs and into the bathroom. I hop into the shower and start singing.

"GO LANÉ!!" Mom shouts and I hear her clapping while laughing.

I chuckle to myself and jump out of the shower, drying myself off and then brushing my teeth. I walk into my room with my towel wrapped around me and pick up my phone from my desk.
