Riley-
"Riley!.... Riley!...." My mom shouted to wake me up. I glanced over at my clock and saw that the time was 6:30. I had an hour to get ready before my best friend would arrive and we would walk to our new school together. "Is HE going to be my teacher again?" I asked referring to my dad as HE. He had been my history teacher for way too many years and I didn't think I could handle it for yet another year.
My mom mumbled something and then walked out of my room. After ten minutes deciding what to wear i got dressed and put on my make up before grabbing my bag and running into the kitchen to get my breakfast. I clearly wasn't paying attention to the time because just as I took a bite out of a slice of toast my best friend Maya ran through the door and shouted "sup losers!"
I stuffed the rest of the toast into my mouth, almost choking in the process, and began walking to the door. After I shouted goodbye to my family,Maya and I walked to school , both exited and terrified at the same time.
