Rebecca Garner, is just a fifteen year old girl, who loves her family and sister, Angel. Rebecca tries her best to survive school. With projects, tests, quizzes and homework it just seems impossible. But Rebbeca looks forward to her family camping trip in spring break. That is until a horrible forest fire consumes their campsite leaving Rebbeca under all the rubble. After the three days of being trapped, Rebecca is treated for smoke inhalation, but when she gets home, things aren't the same. She's always out of breath all the time, she can't cool off, and for some reason, a strange man keeps following her.
"Hello everyone, it is seven in the morning, what a beautiful day for a Tuesday here in Weatherford Texas. It is cloudy with a ten percent chance of rain. This morning the hero Golden Fury, stopped a robbery in progress at the local diner, no one was injured. Now upon request, please enjoy the song "Oceans," by Hillsong."
I sat up in my bed feeling dead inside. My door opened, I rubbed my eyes.
"Good morning," my mom said.
I groaned as I pulled the covers off of my bed. I looked at my dresser and saw a paper stuck to my face. I took it off, it was my homework. It was finished, thank goodness, I silently prayed everything on it was right. Because I didn't remember finishing it.
"How late did you stay up?"
"Four."
"Four?" My mom repeated. "Why?"
"Homework, and studying. I couldn't do it right after school, because of basketball and youth."
"How much homework could there be for you to stay up until four in the morning?" My mom asked.
I sighed frustrated, I slammed the door and started to get ready for school. How much homework could there be for me to be sleep deprived? Quite a lot actually! I had to finish an essay, do a grammar assignment, and finish my book for my report which was due in two days, then I had math which was easy, I finished that in like..... fifteen minutes, I had science- Biology, I had to finish two homework assignments about osmosis, that took me an hour and a half to finish. And for Spanish, I had a paper for AR and ER verbs. I instantly regretted doing Spanish last, have you ever studied a foreign language at three in the morning? If you haven't it's pretty hard.
Once I was dressed I gathered my homework which was scattered all over my bed, I put them in my folder, and finally put everything in my backpack. Just two more days until Spring Break. Two more. Then I won't have to push my body toward its limits. Just one week of me relaxing.
