The Beginning at the End

The Ride

All my brothers have gone through the shift and so I’m not as nervous as I should seem I have six big brothers and two parents who all went through the same to help. I am only fourteen so I still have two years to go. I am a little nervous though because it’s the beginning of august and I start my freshman year of high school. It is a bit easier knowing my one brother will be two grades above except for the part where he has class in a different part of the school. Tomorrow we are all driving up to NSU (Nevada State University) to take my three older brothers back to school. Richy isn’t coming due to he is at football camp and river and Ryder can’t because of work.

I walk down the stairs the next morning excited because I get to see their campus this is the first time I get to go with them. Mom is in the kitchen as always making breakfast for everyone before we go. “ Renn honey, you ready for the ride to the school it’s about five hours away” said mom. I can’t believe she is even asking me that but I tell her yes and that I have a book for the ride. That’s when she starts yelling for my brothers and when she yells you better come running. “ Reg, Ronny, Roman get down here, your sister is already ready and she isn’t even the one going to school. All of a sudden it sounds like rocks tumbling down the stairs as all three of them come running down at once. In unison they all answer “Sorry Mom” and sit down for breakfast. “ You all have fifteen minutes to eat and get everything in the car cause we are leaving.” Mom said. I already ate so as I sit at the table reading they are scarfing down their plates in five minutes flat and getting their things in the car. It’s about eight in the morning when we finally leave. Let me tell you I only ride in the car with most of my brothers, but these three together are a different story. I tune them out by playIng my music in my headphones and reading my book. Next thing I know we are pulling up to their dorm. We got there at about three and it took us a couple hours to get them settled, but at least they all live in the same room. When we got done it was after dinner time, so we headed to a local diner. They were pretty busy due to all the students coming back up. We finished eating a little before midnight, so we dropped my brothers back at their dorm. I said goodbye and gave them a big hug because I knew my mom always took awhile to say goodbye. It was after twelve thirty by the time we left campus and it was a five hour ride back.
