What Are We?

Getting Ready

Dianne woke up to her usual and annoying sound of her alarm. It read 6:30. Why do English people have to wake up so early? We usually wake up at around 9:00am to get to school by 10:00 and we finish at 4:30. Now we have to wake up at 6:30am to get to school by 8:00am and get home at 3:15.

Slowly stepping out of the shower, she grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her body. Hearing footsteps from the stairs, Dianne froze in her tracks, knowing it was her father.....
