Chapter 3: Break

This morning, I didn't hear my alarm go off, so I woke up and checked what time it was. It was 8:45 a.m. "MOM! It's 8:45 a.m! I'm late for school!" I run downstairs and my mom is just cooking breakfast. Her reply was "You didn't know that your Winter Break started today? You get until January 5th for vacation. You have plenty of time to relax. Don't worry." I was relieved, not just that today started winter break- I have about 2 weeks away from bullies. "Thanks for telling me. This is just what I needed- a break." I eat my scrambled eggs, sausage egg and cheese sandwich, and bacon then ran upstairs and hopped in my bed. Thoughts were running through my head "I'm on vacation" and "I needed this vacation" and "Finally". I took a 2 hour nap, and woke up at 10:50. Just needed some extra sleep from all the worrying. "Sweetie! Come down here just for a minute!" my mom called. "Okay, mom!" I replied. I hopped out of bed, stretching as I walked down the stairs. "Since your father is working until 5 p.m. today, do you want to spend the day out places with Alesa, Dylan, and I?" she asked. "Sure! I'll get ready! When are we going?" I said. "We can leave in 20 minutes." mom replied. I took a 10 minute shower and I get ready and came down the stairs. I grab my purse and put my things in there:

*Wallet

*Phone

*Mini Make-up Kit

*Pepto Bismol Medicine (for when I feel ill outside of the house)

Alesa came down carrying my little brother, Dylan saying "Alright, Mom. I am ready" We go out to the driveway to Mom's car. Mom and Alesa buckled up in front while I buckled Dylan to his booster seat, then I buckle and were off! "Hey Mom, where are we going anyways?" I questioned. "First, we'll get breakfast at maybe iHop, then we'll go to the park, then the mall, and lastly, eat lunch at Chick-fil-a or Outback." Mom explained. "Can we also stop at Target so I can buy myself something?" I asked. "Sure! I needed to go there later anyways." Mom answered. We finally arrived to our first destination.
