Mandy woke up that morning sick.. sick that this was her first day at a new school since she just moved here.. Her mom had gotten a great new job here, and she had no choice but to move.. so she left all her friends behind and her father to move here and be with her mom and brother. Mandy missed her dad terribly.. her mother and father had gotten a divorce when she was 5.. she was now 16 and a sophmore in high school and facing this alone.

Mandy finally opened her eyes and sat up in bed looking around her room with boxes all over the floor and finally managed to get up and walk to the bathroom. She carefully avoided tripping over the boxes on the floor and reached for the bathroom door knob.

"Stop!!! I get the bathroom first!!" her brother Josh screamed as he flew passed her into the bathroom.

"Brat" She said as she made her way downstairs to the kitchen and sat next to her mom at the kitchen table.

"Shouldnt you be ready for school?" Her mom asked as she looked up from her morning paper.

Mandy sighed, "Yeah, I would be if Josh wouldnt have taken the bathroom on me," Mandy replied.

Her mom smiled, "Well then, why don't you go into my bathroom and get ready then? It'll save you some time since your brother might be in there for awhile." Her mom said smiling.

Mandy sighed again, "I dont see why he needs the bathroom for so long.."

Her mom put down her paper that she was reading, "He's a freshman is high school, it's his first day here too. He probably thinks he needs to make a good impression."

Mandy laughed, "Yeah, I guess he does.. even though I don't think it'll work.." Mandy got up from the table and changed in her moms bathroom. She decided to wear her purple tank top and black dress pants. She put her hair up in a messy bun and walked back into the kitchen and grabbed her backpack.

"Your all ready now?" Her mom asked as she stood up and grabbed her purse.

"It's about time," Josh said standing up from the table too.

Mandy rolled her eyes, "Well, at least I didnt take as long in the bathroom as you did" she said glaring at her brother.

"Ok, no fighting you two. Let's get going before I'm late for work" Her mom said as she grabbed her coat and headed for the door.

Mandy grabbed the rest of her stuff and folowed her brother and mom out the door.
