My heart was racing, sweat running down my face from anxiousness. The clock was staring back at me, mocking me with its slim black hands, the seconds slowly ticking away. I was at the edge of my seat. I could hear my heart beating loudly, practically ripping out of my chest. 'Please hurry, PLEASE!' I wanted to scream. I can't hold on much longer! My knuckles turned white from how tight I was holding on, 'just a few more… a few more!'

RRRRRIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

"YES! SCHOOLS OUT!" I jumped out of my desk with enthusiasm, slung my book bag over my shoulder and was the first one out of the room! Victory is mine! I ran down the seaming endless hallways. My bag hitting my back with its heavy text books as I ran for the exit.

"Hey!"

"Watch it, dork!"

"Slow down!"

The many students of South Hill High shouted towards me as I bumped into them on accident. "Sorry!" I shouted back. I looked back at the many angry glares I was given. I grinned nervously and continued to run. I guess I wasn't paying attention because next thing you know I was on the floor with hundreds of papers flying around above me. I quickly got up and noticed I bumped into the school principle…oh no…

Mr. Reilly glared down at me, his face as red a tomato. I laughed nervously and quickly got up and collected the papers that were now spread all over the floor. "he-he..Sorry Mr. Reilly. It won't happen again" I said. I stacked the papers together and handed them to him. He swiped them out of my hand and stocked off. I watched him turn into a different direction and I ran from the scene. "Hey Audr-""No time, gotta fly! See ya in an hour!" I shouted to my best friend, Lana.

She struck dumbfounded as she watched me run off, "oh, uh okay…" blinking her blue eyes. I entered the school lobby, running out of breath. I saw the school entrance 'just a little further...' I pushed past the crowd of ready students and pushed open the metal doors. A blinding light greeted my brown eyes. "GOOAAL" I yelled out proudly, pumping my fist in the air. I was finally outside, where my carriage, or in other words, my mom's car, awaited me. I opened the back door and jumped in "to the house! Step on it!" "Excuse me, young lady!?" "Uhh, I mean…I love you?" I shrunk into the seats in fear. She rolled her eyes and began to drive out of the car lot.

We finally made it to the house where my precious was waiting for me. I ran out of the car with the speed of a bullet. I was jogging in place waiting for mom to hurry and open the door "c'mon mommy, pleeaaasseee" I pleaded. "alright, alright I'm coming" she got out of the car and walked up to the door. I began making noises of desperateness as she fumbled with the keys. She finally found the house key and opened the door. I burst in "BABY!" Mickey, our dog, was barking happily as I got on my knees and hugged her. She gave me slobbery kisses making me laugh" down girl, down!" I commanded. The golden retriever sat down, wagging her tail, as she gave a lopsided smile with her tongue hanging out "good girl" I patted her head and ran up to my room. I opened my sticker decorated door and walked into my slightly messy room. Clothes hanging out of its hamper, bed still not made books and game boxes sitting on the floor. Eh, could be worse, I thought. I dropped my bag on the floor beside me and picked up some of the mess. Putting the last of the books away I grabbed the ultimate thing that I had been making a fuss about. I held the game, Jak and Daxter, up in sweet triumph. I petted the box "soon my precious…" I said creepily.

I did my homework for an hour. Thank goodness that it wasn't a lot, being a Friday and all. I finished up the rest of my math and packed away the papers. I heard a knocking on the front door "must be Lana," I grinned excitedly. I grabbed the game and packed in a smaller red backpack long with my small play-station 2 console. I slung the bag over my shoulder and skipped out of my room and down the stairs. Mickey was barking at the tall blonde.

"Hey, you ready?" "Definitely" I replied jumping off the last step, my short curly hair bouncing along my steps. I kissed my mother on her cheek and waved good bye, not knowing that it would be my last goodbye for awhile.
