An alarm clock next to my bed woke me up.  I got dressed in my normal attire- skinny jeans, a T-shirt, a hoodie and sneakers.  Then I went downstairs.

Rob and Holly are sitting at the kitchen table. 

"Good morning, Zane." Says Holly.  "There's cereal in the cabinet and milk in the fridge."

I grabbed cocoa puffs and milk and sat down.  I had finished eating when Karen came downstairs.  She grabbed a granola bar from the cabinet and began to eat it.

"Oh, crap, the bus will be here in a minute." Says Karen.

"Oh, before you go, Zane, Rob and I have something for you." says Holly, and she hands me a cell phone.

"Thanks." I say quietly.

Then Karen and I get on the bus to go to school.

I get my schedule, and go through my classes.  I'm in the cafeteria, and I see Karen and her friends sitting at a table as I walk by, they began whispering.  I eat my food, and after I throw it out I walk by Karen's table again.

As I walk by I whisper one word that makes Karen and her snobby friends shut up.

"Plastic."
