Beside by being nervous and nochious, her feet smell like a football locker room, and she is wearing my mom slippers. How dare you, she can’t wear my mom slippers with that gruesome feet. What her feet are purple, what is she. After she left we went down stairs to spy

I procrastinate for an hour or two but then push myself to do my homework. After 3 hours of hell, I finally completed all of it and decide to take a shower. Once I get out, I get out my speakers and begin to play 'I like it when you sleep for you are beautiful yet so unaware of it' probably one of the best albums ever released. Over all of the loud music I hear a loud bang from downstairs. I quickly shut off the music and wait to see if I will be able to hear the noise again. Yep, there it is. I swiftly open my door and walk downstairs and see my mom on a rampage. She screaming and throwing things and I am bewildered.

Beep Beep Beep!!! Goes my alarm. It was time for school. Stuck in my bed not wanting to move from this warm comfortable spot, I started digging at the crust in the corners of my eyes. The smell of bacon filled the air in my room pushing me out of the bed and leading me to the hallway. I head to the kitchen where I find my mother

I headed home. Once there, I heard the arguing of my brother and mom. Walking up the stairs to my room, I lay on my bed and read my only book again.

As I neared my house my heart...oh my heart. It completely dropped at that moment. The house had been burned and only a few walls remained. Without even thinking I walked out of the cover of the trees and began to stare in disbelief

Ring, ring, ring alarmed the bell “Class dismissed” said Mr.Smith, everyone went running out the door. There were four people still there Margaret ,Max Tom and George and there was a reason why they were there.The reason why was because they wanted to and make fun of Margaret Max lead her out the room.Max and his friends made fun of her for getting the question wrong because it

“That’s enough johnny go upstairs!” my mom had a really stern look on her face. I ran upstairs and shut my door as hard as I could.

I heard my mother get out of her bed and walk down the stairway, the floorboards creaking with each step, to the kitchen to answer the door. As I was making my way down the stairs I remember hearing the sound of a coffee cup shatter as it hit the ground and in that moment I knew who my mother saw at the door.

“I love you mom I’ve gotta go now” I said as I was running to the army line.

When I reach the house I enter through the back doors, knowing my mom should be going to work by now. She had taken up a job ever since my dad passed away. When I walk through the doors, I’m surprised to see my mom in the kitchen with North.

" So who do you think is coming to see you today", The guard asks, curious to who would visit me
