"Patience!!" My mama yelled. "Come down stairs please!"

I'm Patience Brooks. I'm 16 years old and just now starting high school.  Don't get me wrong,I haven't flunked a day in my life. I just started school a year late. You wouldn't believe how many times I played teacher at home with my stuffed animals until I finally got to experience the real thing. Ah the excitement. 

"Coming,ma!" I yelled back,running down the stairs while flipping my hair out of my face.  "You call?" She was sitting on the couch reading a book,as usual.  "Yes. I need you to go ahead and put out your clothes for tomorrow."she said."I wouldn't want you to look bad on your first day of high school."

I rolled my eyes laughing."Like I don't have a sense in fashion~." I said putting the word fashion in a french accent. She shook her head. "Whateves. Isn't that what you crazy teens say these days?". 

See what she did right there? Yeah,there have been many  incidents where she tried to talk urban and young.  Lmfao. Ctfu. Wtf. Even though she had no apparent idea what any of them meant.. 

"Not anymore..." I sighed for yet another word used by teens have been ruined."I'll go choose my outfit... ttyl." My mom looked more confused than the time she caught my brother on top of the roof doing the Macarena.  Why? A dare. Now why did he do it? He's an idiot. 

"Ttyl? What does that mean?" Just as I was about to answer,my 14 year old brother,Nathan,came running down the stairs like Lebron James."It means talk to you later. Hey,whats up zit-zilla?" He joked.

"Oh I'm doing good Taylor Dwarf." I made fun of his height and his love of Taylor Swift...he loves Taylor Swift.

He simply stuck out his tongue and walked pass me. That's usually what he does when he doesn't have a good comeback.

 "What's wrong? No good come ba--" All of a sudden,my eyes started burning and watering. I couldn't see well and everything was blurry. "Ouch!" I covered my eyes and cringed. I had a gut feeling that my allergies were back to torture me. 

"What is up with you!? Honey,you okay!?"

I looked up and frantically shook my head. "No! My eyes are burning really bad!!" Mom grabbed her keys and beckoned me to come with her. "Where are we going?" I said following mom and fanning my eyes at the same time. "I'm taking you to the hospital. You're allergies are getting out of control. Come on Nathan!" 

I stopped in my tracks. I didn't think a burning eye was THAT serious. "Mama,you don't have to do that-"

 "Your eye hurts,doesnt it?" I nodded."Yeah,but-" 

Nathan cut me off. "Ugh just go already! Your allergies are starting to annoy me and I'm not even you!" Nathan stated rudely and walked out the door. I gave Nathan an evil look and then grimaced. I thought a cold towel would do just fine! I zombie walked to the car,but then speed up when my eyes started burning even more. They usually don't act up like this and this is the first time my eyes became blurry. This can not be good..
