"Alexandra if you don't get up now I am going to drag you out of bed myself!" I can hear my dad yelling from the bottom of the stairs.

"I'm serious it is already 7:20 you are going to be late." he says as I slowly lift myself out of bed.

"I'm up, I'm up!" I hate mornings. It might be my first day of senior year but school is still school so I'm not that excited to go. I have been dying to get out of that hellhole for the last three years. The morning I wake up excited will be the morning I no longer have to deal with annoying and overly dramatic teenagers but until then I will take my sweet time to get out of bed.

I have never really made a big deal about my first day of school so I don't plan on wearing anything fancy. I settle for a pair of skinny jeans, a long sleeve shirt because it is like the arctic circle in that building, and my favorite white converses. Before going downstairs I head to the bathroom to brush my teeth and try to get the tangles out of my chestnut hair.

"Look who finally decided to get up." My dad says as I enter the kitchen.

"Good morning to you too dad." I say grabbing an apple from the basket on the counter.

"I wanted you to hurry because I have a surprise for you."

"Dad you know I hate surprises."

"Yes I know but this is a good one now close your eyes." I closed my eyes and then he grabbed my hand and slowly walked me outside.

"If you walk me into a wall I am going to shave you bald in your sleep."

"If you didnt talk so much then maybe that won't happen." This is the kind of relationship my dad and I have, we argue and bicker back and forth but I love him. "Okay now open." I did as he said and nearly jumped into his arms when I saw my surprise.

"No way!!! Thank you so much dad I love it." I say engulfing my father in a hug. He bought me a car and the one I have been asking for too.

"Think of it as an early graduation present, now leave! You are going to be late."

"Okay I will see you later dad"

"Well I have a big project today so I won't be home until late." My dad says while opening the door to my new car.

"I'll get the take out, Chinese?"

"Yeah that is fine! Have a good first day Alex, I love you."

"Love you too." And then I drove off.

We live in a very small town just outside of Albany, New York, maybe no more than 1,500 in population which is odd cause you expect New York to be jammed with people but that's only in the city. I have always liked it here but sometimes you get tired of seeing the same faces all the time. Most of the people in my graduating class, I have been going to school with since kindergarten. My dad didn't appreciate that I am going to apply to out of state colleges only but hopefully as the year goes on he will understand my reasoning and see me for the responsible teenager I am. I just need a change of pace, I need new scenery. And sadly, for him, I can't get that here.
