I silently made my way back to my room. Knowing I needed to try getting some more sleep. Crawling into the covers, and laying her head on the pillow she fell asleep once again. In the morning she woke to the smell of fresh coffee brewing, and the sound of her mother walking around the kitchen making breakfast. She lifted the blankets off her body, yawning, while heading down the stairs to eat before heading off to her high school around the corner. When she came to the large table in the middle of the dining room her mother came in, her apron still on, and her greying hair up in a tight ponytail. Holding two plates in her hand she set them nicely on the place mats.
Taking a seat next to me she said, "I'm working late tonight at the diner so you'll have to make your own dinner or do you want me to order some pizza?" after taking a few bites of her food. It was normal for my mom to work late.
"Pizza would be great, would you mind if I had Liz and Carl over to watch a movie or something." Liz and Carl had been my best friends since first grade, and were like family to me.
"Ok, just make sure you clean up after yourselves if you decide to have another food fight ok?" My mother asked knowingly
"Alright I promise." I got up out of my chair put my dish in the sink and headed toward
"I have to go." I waved as I went out the front door.
