I brushed my wavy blonde hair and looked into the mirror. My blue eyes looked tired so I rubbed them with a wash cloth. I pulled on some jeans and a t-shirt that said Riverside Middle School Track Team and I rushed downstairs. "Morning honey", my mother said and handed me a bowl of cereal. "Morning mom where's Brian and Carly". Brian is my stepdad and Carly is my step sister. "Brian had to go to work early and Carly is still getting ready", she replied.

"Morning Jade morning mom", Carly walked into the bright kitchen wearing some black leggings and a blue shirt with a rainbow on it. "Hey mom i'm not coming home after school i'm trying out for the school play", Carly said. "What play"? I asked. "Were doing Alice in Wonderland and I want to be Alice".

Honk! Honk! The school bus honked. Me and Carly rushed out the door. When I got on the school bus I sat next to my very best friend in the world Lucy. Lucy had red hair and green eyes and was in the same 8th grade reading and math class as me. "Hi Jade", she said enthusiastically "I really hope that I get to be the red queen in the school play". "Not you too", I groaned "Carly and u are trying out for that great". "Why don't you try out", she suggested "you'd be perfect for Alice or the white queen". "Nah".

Finally we arrived at school. I walked into homeroom and sat in my seat which was next to a boy named Jason and a girl named Madison. "Hi Jade", Jason said "what's up"? "Nothing", I grumbled "i'm tired". Madison brushed down her blue jeans and smiled at me. Madison and I are good friends but she has a crush on Jake.

Jake has shaggy blonde hair and green eyes. Every girl in school expect for me has a crush on him. The thing though is Madison already has a boyfriend named Henry. Henry has brown hair and green eyes he is also very popular. "So what are you doing this summer(today was the last day of school people were trying out for the play next year)" Jason asked. "I'll probably be hanging around the pool and stuff you know", I shrugged "what about you"?

Before he could answer our teacher Mrs. Matthew's walked in. "Good morning class", "Good morning Mrs. Matthew's", we chorused.
