I walked into my bedroom in great disappointment. Today was terrible. First, mom decided to cancel my phone service! Then, she took away our allowances. What was going on?
"Dinner is ready" She yelled. I didn't care. I was too upset for dinner. All my hard work on washing the car last week and she still doesn't give me my allowance. She said it was none of my business, but darn it I deserve to know! I'm 15 3/4... I have my rights! My birthday is in August; 27 days from now. I lay on my bed, put my earbuds in, and turn on my Playlist. It was on shuffle, so I had no clue what was first.
Around 5 minutes later, mom busted into my room.
"Dinner is ready!!!!" She yelled. "Come on! And, take your earbuds out of your head!"
I growled under my breath and came downstairs to my mom's nasty chicken breast and broccoli. Yuck. The broccoli didn't even have cheese in it. So gross! All of a sudden, the doorbell rang. I opened the door, swiftly.
"Hello. This is for Katie B Anderson. May I speak with her?"
"Oh. I'm Katie. Can I help you?"
"Yes, i'm here from North Winchester University. I would like to say you're a brilliant student. We have decided to allow you to come to our school for 8 months with a scholarship. The letter says the rest. Good day, ma'am."
"Oh... Okay.." I rush to my room and tear open the note with great excitement. I read aloud, " Dear Katie B. Anderson, we saw your improvement on the state tests you've been taking, and we'd like you to join our University. We'd like to give you a $10,000 scholarship IF you attend for 8 full months. You'll live in our campus, as we'll give you free meals. Please represent our school at North Winchester University!" Katie quickly grabbed her laptop and looked up North Winchester University. Only 20k people have been here since 1954! And i'm one of them! Katie then noticed a small print on the note. Admission fee is $1000. "Well, I don't get an allowance anymore, so I doubt i'm gonna get in here." Katie sighed. Katie scrolled through Instagram, and then regretfully deleted her account. She ran to her corner of her closet and cried. Katie's stomach then rapidly growled. Katie wiped her tears and made some ramen noodles.
"Mommy, where's dada?" Kaelyn, my younger sister(4), asked.
"Daddy is going to be at work for a little while. Now, why don't you guys go upstairs and get ready for bed? I'll be up a jiffy!" Mom says.
Before going to bed, Katie searched her name on Google for fun. Katie saw a picture of herself, along with her accounts. Katie then searched her mom's name, and saw a crude scandal. She quickly searched Dad, and found nothing else than a picture of him in Jail.
Katie couldn't sleep all night because of this. She didn't even know what he did, and didn't want to know, although curiosity was creeping among her like a nightmare while she lay in bed. Then, a sudden animal opened the door and hopped on her bed, wagging it's tail. "Oh, Chester. It's just you boy. Hello." Hey lay down on the bed right next to Katie, which allowed her to sleep.
