It was now Emma's first day of grade 11. She had spent most of her summer just lying around the house doing nothing special. Every once in a while Manny would come over, and they would watch a movie or something, but that's as exciting as that got. But then again, she hadn't really wanted to do anything with anyone. Emma had been dreading this day. She hated being stuck in her house, but she hated being at school even more. She doubted that everyone would just forget what had happened the previous year, but she really hoped everyone could just start new.

Emma's alarm clock started to ring obnoxiously loud in her ear, and she lazily hit her hand down on the snooze button and groaned. She heard her bedroom door open.

"Emma! Get up!" Spike's voice echoed down the staircase

"Five more minutes" Emma groggily replied

"No! Up! Now! Or you'll be late for school!" Her mother demanded.

"I don't care!"

She put her head under her pillow, and Spike walked down the stairs and over to her bed. Starting to get very annoyed at her stubborn daughter's attitude.

" Emma Nelson! You will not be late for your first day of school! Do you understand!" She practically yelled in Emma's ear

"Mom! Leave me alone!" Emma argued back.

Spike then ripped the pillow and blanket off of her.

"Now get up!" She ordered

"Fine, I'll get up!" The very tired girl retorted.

She slowly sat up in her bed and rubbed her eyes with her two fist.

" Happy?" Emma asked stubbornly.

"Just get ready, and Snake will give you a ride."

"I'm walking."

"Fine Emma."

Spike walked back up the stairs and closed the door on the way out.

Emma sighed and stood up. She yawned and stretched her arms up in the air. She walked into her bathroom, and while doing this, she managed to stub her toe on the bathroom door.

"Shit." She muttered to herself, and continued into the bathroom and brushed her teeth. She then walked over to her dresser and pulled out a pair of faded jeans and a black sweatshirt that she lazily threw on. Then she pulled her hair into a messy ponytail, that pretty much said "I don't give a shit what I look like", and put a bit of eyeliner on. She grabbed her purse and headed up the stairs.

" I'm leaving now." She simply told her two parents while walking towards the front door.

" Don't you want some cereal or something?" Spike questioned pointing to a couple boxes of the cereal that lay on the kitchen counter.

" No, I'm not hungry." Emma replied

" Are you sure?" Her mother urged.

" Yes mother, positive." She said while rolling her eyes.

" Em, you sure you don't want me to give you a ride?" Snake asked while buttering a piece of slightly burnt toast.

" Yeah, I'm meeting up with Manny at her house. So I better go now. Bye."

" Come straight home after school okay?" Spike reminded her.

" Yeah, I know." She responded dully

" See you at school." Snake said

" Alright, See ya." Emma answered back with a slight wave.

With that, Emma slipped on her shoes and walked out her door towards Manny's, thinking about the day to come.
