Arya made decent progress through her book by the time the bus arrived at the Junior High.
While the bus was waiting to enter the school's parking lot, she put her book away.
When the bus stopped, she was the first one out the door with another, "Thank you."
She walked over to the car, where one of her siblings and carpool buddy waited. She ducked into the car, and asked, "Where's mom?"
"Math tutoring. Remember?" Rebecca said.
"Oh yeah..." She pulled out her book again, and read while she waited for her mother and sister to get back.
About a half an hour later, they came out to the car.
"How was your day Arya?"
"It was good."
"Anything interesting?"
"No. What did you do?"
Her mother went into detail on how her day was. She listened and asked a few questions as her mother talked about her coworker, and a few of her students. Arya's mother was a Teacher Assistant, and worked at the Elementary school.
She looked out the window, and did not see popcorn popping on apricot trees. [AN: Sorry, couldn't help it. :)] She saw a few people on the sidewalk, and watched for personalized license plates. She asked to go to the library, and her mother switched lanes.
Arya spent several hours at the library, playing on the computer, and picking up any holds her family members had, if any. She read several fanfiction stories, all 'Doctor Who' related.
She always walked home, unless a parent came and picked her up, or a neighbor took her home. She crossed the crosswalk, and started down the steep hill to her home.
When she got home, her sisters, Rach and Rebecca, were playing on the computer.
"Welcome back." Rach said, spinning the chair around as Arya put her things down, and took her jacket off.
"Thanks. What have you two been up to?"
"Facebook and YouTube."
"Ah."
Arya walked into the kitchen, pulled the fridge door open, and looked in. She didn't see any food she wanted in there, so she made a tuna sandwich.
She walked back into the front room with her food, and ate it while her sisters watched Vocal Point on YouTube.
A little while later, the rest of Arya's family walked in the door. Sara always came first, it's what she did. Her mother and father came in shortly after. Sara went to her room with her things, and her father's Nook. Arya's father carried his backpack through the kitchen, down the stairs to his room.
"So... What did you do today Sara?" she said, when Sara came back into her general vicinity.
"I got to work in the kitchens."
"Cool." Her father came back upstairs, and she asked, "How was your day Dad?"
"Long." he replied.
Arya thought about Jordan, her brother. He was on a mission in Korea. I wonder what he's doing now? she thought.

Thursday- one more day until the weekend. she thought.
She was in bed. She had already said her nightly prayer, and read another chapter in her "Book of Mormon." She pulled the blankets up, and flipped onto her right side. She put some music on, Kenny Loggins currently playing.
"Christopher Robin and I walked along
Under branches lit up by the moon
Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore
As our days disappeared all too soon
But I've wandered much further today than I should
And I can't seem to find my way back to the Wood..."
She slowly drifted off to sleep.
