(Really sorry about not posting! I've just been really busy...)

She was still tired but she had to shake it off. Today was a big day! The first day of the school year at St. Myou! Jayma thrashed in her bedsheets, rolling onto the floor with a thud. "Ouch!" She yelped. "Honey are you okay up there!" her mother called from downstairs. "Yes Mom!" Jayma replied. "Hurry up! I've made breakfast and you don't want to be late!" Her mother said. Jayma got up from the floor and crosses to her dresser, throwing on her uniform and knee high white socks. She put on her black sneakers and gave herself a once over after she had done her hair in a neat high ponytail.

Jayma ran down the stairs. She walked into the kitchen where her mother was just putting a plate of bacon and eggs on the table. "Eat up hun! Your gonna have a great day at school!" She said. Jayma nodded and sat at the table, starting with the eggs. Jayma ate silently as her mother cleaned up the kitchen. Jayma looked up to see her mother smiling at her from the doorway. "What?" Jayma asked, food still in her mouth making it a bit of a mumble. "Oh nothing... I'll just miss you." Her mother says, her voice slightly hoarse, tears forming in her tear ducts. Jayma rolled her eyes. "Mom... You'll be okay..." Jayma smiled at her mother and got up and hugged her. "I know... I think I see your cab.. You should go.. You don't want to be late.." Her mother pointed out the window where a silver cab had just pulled up. "Okay mom.. I'll miss you!" Jayma said as she left for the mud room. She put on a navy blue jacket and grabbed her suitcase which was at the door. "Love you mom!" She called out as she exited the house.

Jayma was sitting in her car, impatient. Jayma was rarely impatient but she was getting Antsy. "Could you please hurry up?" Jayma said slowly to the driver, her tone a bit rude. Jayma hated sounding rude. Jayma looked out the window to see the place where she'd attend school and live in for the next year... St Myou. Jayma was instantly filled with happiness. She'd always had wonderful times here at St. Myou. Jayma smiled as the car rolled up to the school. Jayma stepped out of the car, her sneakers crunching against the dirt and rocks. Jayma grabbed her bags and ran to the academy. Jayma was already a little late so there was no time for dawdling.

Jayma entered the school, breathing in the familiar clean smell of the school, probably from chemicals that made this school so squeaky clean. Jayma looked around.. She was always the clueless girl when it came to the first day of school. She never knew what to do so she just waited around the front hall until someone came up and talked to her... But she didn't want to be that girl. She wanted to take charge. Jayma bit her lip as she looked out the window. It was August but today it was a crappy day. Clouds framed the sky. It looked as though it would rain today. Jayma didn't care though. She loved the smell that was left after it rained, Petrichor.
