"Rise and shine" my mother says as she opens my bedroom door. I roll over, getting tangled in my bed sheets in the process. The sunlight beams onto my pillow. That would be a beautiful sight but it beams directly into my tired eyes. I squint , slowly raising myself from the comforting embrace of my bed, untangling myself. "Why rise and shine when you can sleep and become a dark void" I remark. "Now Cecilia don't give me lip. I don't want you acting like this today, especially at school" As my mother begins lecturing me about how I should be positive and look on the bright of things I begin to daydream.
"Come on Cecilia!" "I'm coming, one second!" I run to catch up. "So what are we doing today?" " We could play house?" "Can we play ballerinas, please". "Fine." "Thanks, I gotta go grab my tutu!"
"Cecilia?" "Huh?" I snap out of my daydream. " Cecilia, have you been listening to anything I've said?" My mother asks. "Uhh, Yes!?" "Well then, get ready for your first day at school!" I roll out of bed and drag myself to the restroom. I almost fall asleep in the shower. I step out of the shower and grab my towel. As I trudge out of the bathroom my mother shouts " Don't forget to bring your dance bag! I'm taking you to that new dance class tonight!" I hadn't forgotten but was hoping she had. Going to a new school was going to be tough already but I didn't want to have to start all over with dance too. Walking into my bedroom I grab whatever was easiest to grab from the boxes in my room. We recently moved to this house and stuff hadn't been totally unpacked yet. Shorts and a t-shirt will work for today I guess. I grab my backpack and dance bag and head downstairs. " Since it's the first day of school would you like to stop somewhere special before I drop you off?" My mother inquires. " Mom, I'm not a baby anymore". "Okay, I just thought it would be nice". " I'll just grab a granola bar or something". I grab my bar from the pantry and head out to the car. We drive along for a bit before we reach Meadow High School. "Have a great day at school honey" "Thanks, love you" I mumble. I step out of the car. As I gaze up at my new school, I realize how fast my heart is beating and how nervous I really am.
