The first thing that awoke me was the warm, wet feeling on my face.
I slowly woke up, and saw Brownpelt, one of my cats, sitting on my chest, staring at me.
Gently picking her up and putting her down, I jumped off the bed and walked downstairs.
I live with a separated family, my mom and my dad live in separate houses.
Brushing my bed-head hair out of my eyes, I look around at the cluttered house that belonged to my dad.
My dad was a repairman, he could fix almost anything, cars, computers, TVs, you name it.
He never cleaned up this house, so it's always like this, if you saw it, you'd probably crap your pants.
I filled my bowl with Frosted Flakes and ice cold milk before sitting down at the table.
My dad came in, he must've heard me open and close the fridge door.
" Well, look who's up and running!" he said, " Morning Lex!"
Lex was one of my nicknames, my real name is Alexa, Alexa Dayton.
" Morning dad," I said, idly stirring my cereal around.
He took out a bowl and several ingredients and began making waffle batter.
" So, another exciting day at school!" he said, trying to bring me out of my tired state.
I took a bite of the now soggy cereal and said, " It'll probably be like every day until summer..."
I couldn't wait till summer already, my fun cousins would come over and play games with me.
They especially loved playing with the Lego catapult I assembled, and playing as the orcs that came along with it.
But for now, I'm still stuck in the clutches of elementary school.
I'm in the fourth grade, and was slightly younger than my youngest cousin, James.
The rest of my cousins, Kelly, Michael, and Dionna, they literally towered over me, they were in high school, Kelly and Michael were sophomores, Dionna was still a freshman, but still older.
My dad finished making his waffles using the new waffle iron he bought, and sat down, slathering them all over with butter and syrup.
I would've wanted waffles, but my tummy wanted something a little less sweet, so I chose Frosted Flakes.
We sat there, eating in silence for a while.
My dad finally broke the silence by looking at his watch and yelling, " Look at the time! I have to get to work, will you be able to catch the bus to school?"
Suddenly realizing I haven't even put clothes on, I stood up, " Crap!"
I zipped upstairs, and quickly rummaged through my clothes, finding a good matching pair, my zoo animal shirt with black pants, and put them on hurriedly.
Quickly dashing to the bathroom, I did a quick brushing of my teeth and rinsed with that minty Crest mouthwash stuff.
Running downstairs, I looked around in the drawers, and pulled out a bottle of hair cream and a comb.
Applying the cream to my hair, I massaged it in and combed it through, now my hair didn't look like I had been shocked by static electricity.
Just in time! The bus had just pulled up in front of my house!
" Gotta go!" I yelled, grabbing my backpack and whipping out the door, " Bye dad!"
" Bye Lex! Ama will pick you up from school, okay?" he called back.
" Okay!" I yelled back, getting aboard the bus.
I turned and waved to him again before the bus doors closed.
Turning, I walked over to a seat and sat down next to one of my friends, Alice.
She turned and greeted me with a smile, " Hey, how're you today?"
I sighed, " Horrible, I had to rush to get ready earlier."
She patted my back, " It'll be okay."
The bus driver yelled something before driving away, heading to Chapman Elementary School.
