A Bright Future

" When I look at you " My alarm went off and I leaped out of bed faster than my light turned on. "Today's the day!" I thought to myself. I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth and do my hair. "Darn hair brush," I thought to myself," why won't you get through my hair!" I finally got it out and then scampered to my room again to get my dress on.

"Honey, you're going to be late!" My mom shouted from her room. I ran into the living room with a gigantic smile on my face that no one could replace.
