"Ding" "Ding" "Ding"

I groaned and tried to turn off my alarm. Where did I put that phone!

I sighed and sat up on my bed. I reached for my phone under my pillow and turned it off. I rubbed my eyes and yawned.

Suddenly I realized. Today is the first
day of Freshmen year.

I jumped out of bed and changed as quickly as possible. I put on my favorite jeans and a shirt with the writing 'If your too cool for school, then what are you doing here?'

I looked in the mirror. I don't put on makeup other than the occasional lipgloss.

I stared at my smooth pale face. Not a single freckle visible. It made me look inhuman. And the strangest of my appearance, my eyes. Amber eyes. The only normal feature would be my crazy, wild, curly brunette hair. Hair which I have yet to do.

I sighed. This is going to take forever

10 minutes later I'm sitting with my parents eating scrabbled eggs for breakfast. Jace and Janet were still asleep as they started school tomorrow. Of course they were also grounded for that little stunt they pulled off yesterday. I shivered just thinking about it.

"You nervous for your first day of school?" Asked my dad with a smile.

"Awwww I can't believe it, my baby is starting freshmen year already. They grow up so fast" my mom exclaimed.

My dad and I gave each other a look and rolled our eyes. My mom is a very sentimental person and is very dramatic.

"Ya, I'm pretty nervous" I said answering my dads earlier question.

"Well you out of everyone shouldn't be" he said

"By the way honey, are you planning to try out for cheer leading?" asked my mom.

I groaned. Not this conversation again. My mom used to be a cheerleader and now has this crazy idea that I want to be one as well. Well, newsflash I don't

"Moooom" I whined

"Leave her alone honey" my dad said looking at my mom "She doesn't want to be a cheer leader so give up already"

"Fine" my mom grumbled

"But I know your going to try out for the swim team" my dad said trying to cheer my mom up.

"Nope" I said

"What?" "why?" my mom asked. She looked so shocked. Everyone knows how much I love swimming and I'm pretty good at it too.

"Meh, don't feel like it" I said trying to hide my smile.

There was absolute silence as my mom and dad gave me an incredulous look. I couldn't help it. I laughed hard until tears came out.

"Oh my gosh, your face" I said laughing "hahahahaha"

"Why is Mickey..." started Janet

"laughing so hard" finished Jace. They had just come from upstairs.

"I meant the coach saw me swimming last time when I was at the public swim pool and asked me to join the team" I explained to my parents, trying hard not to laugh. I didn't think they would be this shocked. "So I don't need to try out."

"Oh honey" mom muttered

"That's great news" dad said

"Ya" I replied looking at my watch
