I woke to the tune to the insanely loud beeping of my alarm clock. I pushed the off button, and got up. I looked in my mirror, and my reddish-brown hair stuck up at all angles. I went into the shower. I squinted into the steaming-hot stream of water, and stepped out. I got dressed, and shook my over-shoulder-length hair. It still stick up wildly soaking wet. I shrugged it off and went into the kitchen and shouldered my backpack.
I bounded out the door and headed for school.
I heard the bell ring when I was a few blocks away. I didn’t speed up though. I wasn’t in a rush. I turned a corner, and picked up a cup of coffee and a bagel. I got to the school door, and walked in.
I got to my locker, unpacked and headed to class, with my coffee and bagel with me.

Autumn is in there….

Perfect.

I had a small smile on my face as I walked into class.
