"Beep, Beep, Beep." The alarm was going off and Drew couldn't stand it, but he tried his best to ignore it and go back to sleep. "Beep, Beep, Beep." There it was again. He rolled over to the other side of the bed and turned off the clock. He sat up in his bed, as he knew his summer was over.

"Drew!!! Hurry up and get ready, it's already 6 a.m." His mom said. "No mom, I think you mean it's only 6 a.m." Drew said as he pulled the cover back over his head. His Mom came into the room and nearly forced him to get up. "Now Andrew, it's your very first day of high school. You wouldn't want to be late on the first day." Drew knew not to argue, so he shoved the pillow from under his head, and tumbled out of his bed.

He stood up and said "Happy now mom?" His mom looked at him and smiled. "Oh my god, my baby is all grown up! I can't believe you're going off to high school. Huh, if only your father were here to see this." Drew looked at his mom funny and replied, "See what? Me in a tank top and boxers?" Drew's mom rolled her eyes. "No silly, you getting ready to take the first step into the next 4 years of your life." Drew didn't look surprised. His mom did the same thing when he was going to middle school. Only difference was, she didn't wake him up as early and the speech was a bit shorter.

Drew stopped his mom before she walked out the room and said, "Hay mom, how come you made dad sound like he was dead or something?" "What do you mean?" his mom replied. "Huh, If only you're father were here to see this" Drew said sarcastically. "Ohhh, forget I even said that, just got a little caught up in the moment there." Drew laughed and started walking to the shower to get ready for the big day.
