welcome back
I feel the morning sun, it caresses my face encouraging me to awaken. I rise with a smile on my face ready to face the day wholeheartedly. It's the first day back to school and I'm returning as a senior! This year I'm determined to maintain my straight A average and graduate with a full scholarship to Stanford. This is going to be a good year I can feel it.

When I'm fully awake and ready to go I head down stairs in a swift motion running into my brother Cristian."Watch were your going Stef".He grunts. "you almost stepped on my shoes "
Wow, I think to my self,just wow I could have knocked the wind out of him and he's worried about his shoes." Well if you care so much about your shoes wrap em in bubble wrap "
I've never been good at comebaks and he takes any time he can to rub it in my face. "Might want to take an extra class on comebaks sis " he says patting my back in passing. Cris takes his seat at the dining table and piratically inhales his breakfast.
"How are my identical devils this morning" my mother sings making her grand entrance.
"good " we both reply.
If it had been anyone else my brother and I would go on a rant on how were not identical ; how one of us is a girl and the other a bad excuse for a mammal let alone human male. But no this is our mom our reason for being here;and the devil part is because our oh so wonderful mascot. Yes our schools mascot is a devil.
After our morning breakfast we hop in Cris's car and head twards school. The drive is silent with only the occasional"so" answered by more silence. Luckily the drive is short and we pull into the student parking lot.
The campus is filled with faces some new others I've seen. I head inside anxious and exited to see Joy. I haven't seen him all summer due to our packed schedules.
I search for him left and right no sight of him. Were is he. I think to my self. I look around the corner and there he is next to Allen. I walk to him,my walk shortly turning into a sprint.
I probably look like a little girl running in the hallway but I dont care. I'm almost to him and he still hasn't noticed me.
As if on cue he turns around just in time for him to open his arms. I run into them not caring about anything else ,I'm here now with Joy and that's all that matters.
He starts to sway us side to side and our embrace is over. "Hey there " he says.
"Hey" I reply.
"How was your summer."
"okay, and yours?"I ask.
"Horrible."
"Why was it horrible "
His dimples ignite "I was away from you of course". He stairs at me and I stair back,were just standing there smiling at each other.
"e hem " Allen says while separateing our gaze. "I had a great summer thanks for asking" his voice lined with sarcasm.
"Hey Allen" I giggle. "how was your Summer".
"ha ha very funny." he says turning to walk away. " Oh yea" he pauses turning around."Welcome back Stephanie"
