"Guys , get up ! We haven't got all day !" My dad yelled leaning his head in the bedroom doorway . "Ughhhh ! Five more minuets ." My bother moaned from the top bunk of the bed . I sat up placing my feet on the freezing tiles . "Ow!" I yelped rubbing my sore head . Every morning the same thing , Dad yells at us then I sit up and hit my head . I can't wait to get rid of this stupid bunk bed .
I limped over to the bathroom down the hall. My mom , dad , bother and I all share the same bathroom and I hate it ! Alway trying to get the mirror or having to wait an hour before i can use it.
I picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste witch was the only thing left in the bathroom besides my bothers hair comb . I licked my teeth as I turned on the water . I had a really bad habit of licking my teeth since I got my braces of a couple weeks ago , it felt so good not having metal in my mouth anymore . I rinsed out the foam in my mouth and put my toothbrush in a zip lock baggy and shoved in my bag that I packed the night before for the 'road trip'.
"Come on , let's move it !" I heard my dad shout at my brother in the other room . I knew he would rush us so I didn't even bother to set out clothes the night before . My pajamas are just a grey t-shirt that had maroon and white letters that spelt out ' Texas A&M go Aggies ' on it , and really soft , maroon shorts that scrunched up at the him line with two dangling strings on the front . I really love football and it's one of the reasons why fall is my favorite season .
"Hey what are you waiting around for ?!" My dad hugged me lifting me off the floor and set me back down gently . He put his firm hands on my shoulders and kneeled down " Today's the big day !" He smile with his pearly white teeth . He left and I grabbed my bag that had my school mascot on it , a bee , and marched out of the bathroom .
My bother walked down the hall towards me , he looked like a zombie and I was about ready to punch him in the face . "Wow your up early." I teased him and he pushed me into the wall . I punched him in the arm and stuck my tongue out at him. I turned back around and faced the front again and he slammed door behind me witch made me jump. I went back to my bedroom witch was almost empty except the junky bunk bed and an old dresser . I slipped on my white converse with my white socks witch normally don't match but for some reasons today they do.
I walked outside to see the last boxes being loaded into the moving truck . "Hey sweetly , you got everything ?" My mom asked with her arm around my shoulders . " Yeah ." I calmly replied . " Alright . Why don't you go help your dad then ." I nodded . I placed my bag in the van , cracked my knuckles , picked up a box and placed it in the truck . A few boxes later my dad patted me on the back , "Were almost there ."

He shook hands with the guy who was driving the movers truck and then hopped in the family van . " Who's ready for a road trip !?" Me and my bother smile sarcastically "wee."
We're moving because my dad was tired of me and Max complaining about having to share a room and my mom wanted her own bathroom . I was glad I was getting my own room I mean I'm 15 for Pete sake I need my own space , but I'm going to miss my friends and my old school a lot !
It's been ten minuets and I'm already sick of being in this car ! I don't know how I'm going to last 50 more minuets !
I pulled my bag up from under the seat and took out my hair brush . I flat ironed my hair the night before because I knew I wouldn't be able to take a shower for like two or three days . If I didn't flat iron my hair .........it would be a disaster . My natural hair is curly ,but not the pretty curly ,more like the curly that looked like it got sucked in a vacuum , or a rat had been living in it for a few years . I started at the bottom of my long blond hair and worked my way to the top brushing out all the tangles . After I made sure my hair was nice and tangle free i took a pony tail holder that had left a red line around my wrist and wrapped it in my hair that I pulled back in a hight pony tail.
I put my brush back in my bag and pulled out my yellow , iPhone 5c and line green headphones . My bother and I got our parents old phones and they got an up grade . My bothers phone is blue with a crack across the left side of the screen.
I put the ear buds in my ears and turned on Pandora witch started playing 'Amnesia , by 5 seconds of summer' . I like a lot of music mostly hip-hop , pop, top 40 , rap , and country .
A little bit down the road we stopped for gas. My dad gave me a twenty and told me to get some snacks . He always lets me do anything I want like let me just go into stores and by what ever in pjs , my mom on the other hand wasn't so calm but Dad normally talked her into it . The little belle rang when I opened the doors . I ran over to the cooler area and grabbed a Mountain Dew . I went down the rows grabbing random things off the selfs . I got some Doritos , Oreos , trail mix , chocolate and about 5 different packs of gum and went the register. I payed for my stuff and walked back to the car and gave my dad back his change . I put my head phones back in my ears and ate my snacks . My bother was asleep and as we started driving off he began to wake up . "Hey where did you get that?" I just smiled and kept on eating . " Early bird gets the worm ." My dad said chuckling while my bother kept complaining .
"Hey ! Wake up !" My bother screamed and through a pillow at me . I must have fell asleep. "Stop!" I through the pillow back at him . "Kids knock it off !" My mother scolded. I rolled my eyes and my bother flipped my off . He thinks because he's ten seconds older , that makes him better than me .
We turned into a quite
cul-de-sac when my dad shouted "Were here!"
