Felicia Miller
Felicia jumped over the back of her couch and landed on the comfortable cushions. She snatched the television remote off the coffee table in front of her. She turned on the television and stared at the screen for a little while. There was nothing on that interested her so she decided to turn the Xbox on. While the game system turned on she went to get the mail, inside of her mailbox she found a few bills and a red letter. She threw the mail on the coffee table and flopped down on the couch once again. She lazily reached out for the Xbox controller that was on the far side of the coffee table.
She started to play Call of Duty and got frustrated with it quickly. She put the controller down on the table and looked at her mail. The red letter looked important so she decided to open it. She read the letter and didn’t believe what she was reading. She knew that she was different from other people but didn’t think there was a school for people like her. She sat there for a moment just looking at the letter not knowing how to feel. She then got up and walked toward the bathroom. She decided that a shower might help clear up her mind, when she got in and turned on the water it was freezing cold but she didn’t flinch. After the cold shower, she had made her decision to go and check this school out.
While packing Felicia saw the picture of her mother on her nightstand and walked over toward it. She picked the picture up ran her hand down the picture frame. “I won’t be powerless anymore mom. I’m going to make you proud; your little girl is all grown up.” A tear fell down her face and was quickly wiped away. Felicia said to herself as she quickened the pace of her packing “Now is not the time for tears I need to get ready.” When Felicia was finished packing she had filled three duffle bags, a carryon bag, and a large suitcase with her items. When she exited her apartment building a taxi was waiting for her. She put her things into the car and looked at her apartment one final time. The driver stepped out of the car and asked “Where am I taking you ma’am?” Felicia turned and with a smile said “To the airport please.” The driver nod and after Felicia got in the car drove off.
When they arrived at the airport the driver asked “Do you need help with your bags? You have a lot.” Felicia simple shook her head and after getting out easily lifted the bags on her shoulder and rolled the suitcase behind her. She checked her bags and then went to go find the gate her plane would leave from. Her plane arrived and she got on, there were a few interesting looking people already on the plane. She simply sat down in an available seat and opened up the bag she carried on with her. She pulled out a bag of Oreos and began eating a few of them.
