Shooting out of bed, I look around and see Esmeray on the bed next to me sitting on her knees, with a pillow in her hand. I roll my eyes, as she snickers and hops off the bed. Getting up and heading towards the dresser, I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. Yet when I looked that way I saw nothing.

    Shrugging it off I got ready for school and went downstairs to see my sisters. Isa, my older sister, was making breakfast while the twins, Esmeray and Eleena, were running around the kitchen trying to keep their balloons in the air. As they ignored Isa telling them to go to the living room and play, I sat down at the table and started texting my friends.

Calypso:
You guys I just had the weirdest dream ever

Arlen:
it's not about that stupid forest again right?

Ezra:
Arlen don't be mean!

Calypso:
Well I was gonna tell y'all about it but whatever

Ezra:
Changing subjects! So what classes do you guys have today?

Arlen:
We're halfway through the year and you still can't remember our classes?

Ezra: you know I'm bad at remembering things!

Calypso: In case you're wondering Ezra no we don't have any classes together today

Arlen:
Thank god

Ezra:
Rude.

Calypso: well you guys can keep fighting. I gotta catch the school bus

Ezra:
I told you I can drive you to school if you want

Calypso: and listen to you and Arlen fight the whole time? Hell no.

    I turn off my phone not wanting to hear whatever it is that Ezra and Arlen were bickering about now. They fought all the time but you could tell they cared about each other even if they didn't say it out loud.

    I grab my backpack heading towards the door before I was stopped by Isa. I turn around to look at her. She softly smiles at me.

    "Don't be dumb. Get good grades." She said like every day. She wants me to graduate since she had to drop out when the twins got expelled.

    She takes care of us since our mom is always working. I try to help her but she always refuses. I even offered to drop out so she could finish school but she said no, claiming that when I grow up and get rich that I can pay her back. So I try my best to do good at school.

    I smile back and head out the door to catch the bus.
