A Good Day Gone Bad

I walked outside the next morning feeling great. The bright vibrant sun shone on the freshly mowed grass. I loaded into my sister's car and we went off to school. The day passed extremely rapid,

Picking up my head followed by my body, I reach over my bed to get my phone. Turning my phone on, I hear my mom scream up to me, “Sofia you need to get into the shower now!” Hopping out of my bed my sister comes racing out of her room storming down the stairs. Not knowing what her problem was nor caring, I grab a towel from the closet, place it onto the rack and get into the shower. After singing like a total freak in the shower, I calmly pick up my phone looking at the time not noticing it was already 7:00 and check my social media for a good ten minutes. Finally realizing I was running late, I quickly blow dry my hair and throw whatever clothes on that I see. I grab my shoes, book bag and sprint directly to the door. I say goodbye to my parents and both my dogs, Torino and Gus, which I never normally do that, but I just did that day for some reason.

After my shower and getting dressed, instead of making a cup of coffee for myself I left my apartment and walked around the corner to the little breakfast spot where Jim and I were to meet. I got there at quarter to ten so I could get a bite to eat before Jim showed

I woke up at 5:30 am to get ready for my flight to Washington DC. which left at 8:00 am. I arrived in DC shortly after noon. We had a meeting scheduled at 2:00 pm, so I had a few minutes to grab lunch and check into my hotel room.

It was around ninety degrees with a one hundred percent chance of rain on that long and gloomy Saturday. The air was hot and so humid you’d swear you were going to suffocate just standing out in the open. What better day to have the annual family reunion down in Iuka, Mississippi. As we traveled across the state line the cruel Alabama weather slowly started to fade within the back glass of my mom’s traverse. I remember looking through the front window there was sunshine for miles. I thought to myself “hey maybe this will be a good day after all.” I’ll be the first to tell you, that in fact I was wrong.

On a gorgeous morning, with the sky being in a arrangement of shades of orange and yellow with blue being barely visible as the sun rises with its radiant golden shine going through the tall ancient oak trees. I woke up as always in my jammies being too lazy to get up for school. So I got my groggy self to turn my head at the clock and saw that I had 10 minutes to get dressed. So I jumped out of my bed slowly

I cried uncontrollably and I heard my dad banging on the door screaming my name. I ignored him as I took a tissue from the tissue box on my vanity. I whipped the snot off my face and went to the bathroom and saw in the reflection of the mirror that my eyes were bloodshot red. I turned on the water in the bathtub and let it run so I could take a bath to calm down. I slipped into the bathtub and let all of my worries float away... for

I walk into my house I see no one is home yet, but they will be soon, too soon, way-way-way too soon. I laid my heavy school bag down, it felt like I was caring a dead body in there. Change into clothes that are more comfortable than skinny jeans and a dress shirt. Then I got right to work, I clean the house and started dinner. As dinner is on the stove, I did my homework in the kitchen so I could see the food cooking. The food was almost done cooking when my mom walked in the house. By the time my Dad got there the food was done cooking and I had finished up my homework. I put away my homework and, washed up for dinner.

I stopped at the right time to get ready. I went to go get my clothes, it was a button up shirt with slacks and dress shoes. I got all the paper work I thought would be important to take and I took a pen to look more interested and prepared. I started walking to the bus which came at twelve twenty in the afternoon. I got on and took 20 minutes to the place. Before that I was on the phone listening to music and making sure I had everything done in some of my college classes.

the day. I swing out of my bed some 17 minutes after my intitial alarm and

I rushed out the door. It was cold and windy but the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly in the sky so it seemed like any other Oklahoma city September day. I jumped into the car and my mom started the car.

I thought this summer day would be the best day, I woke up at 9:00 a.m the bright sun was peeking through my window and the birds were chirping. I didn’t have to worry about getting ready fast to make the bus or do any homework. My mom finally had a day off work and we were going to go shopping and go swimming.

I wake up not surprisingly, a little before the rising chime. My body clock has its own particular caution, yet that doesn't prevent me feeling a long way from new. I generally need to battle in the mornings.

I was dressed, and ready to go with my blue and white plaid Jan-sport backpack that I had had since the 5th grade. I checked the time, it read 12:01 AM. My mom gave me a kiss on the cheek and sent me on my merry way. I closed the door and took my first step onto the paved sidewalk. I took a deep breath and told myself silently "Today will be a good day." Within seconds, the sky started crying and the sound of raindrops became louder as I continued my walk to my grandma 's house in my beat up high top converse.
