14 Years.

Hey there! Im Saya, a 13 nearly 14 year-old girl. Something that everyone fears is turning 14. Just keep reading and you will understand.

"Darling! We need to go shopping for your school uniform!" My Mother shouts as she yells up the stairs.

"Okay! One second Mom!" I reply.

I rush to run downstairs to slip my shoes on.

"Great. Here are the keys to the car start it for me will you?" Mother asks.

"Mhmm." I nod as I dash out the door.

I put the keys into the ignition of the car. It was a pretty nice day so i turned the air conditioning on to max.

"Alright Saya. Coming!" My Mother says while she locks the door of my house.

The drive to the campus store was long, but fun. We looked at many different uniforms. I didn't understand why the boys get to wear long tan-colored pants while the girls have to wear short skirts and thigh-high socks.

"Hmm..." I stare at a very feminine sweater as if it were supposed to stare back.

"Hunny. I got your uniform." My mother grins.

"Okay, can I see it?" I ask hesitantly.

"Yep! As soon as we get home." She says.

I nod.

We began to drive home. I hummed the tune on the radio while my Mother talks to my Father over the phone. We arrive at our home.

"Saya, put these in your room please." She hands me a bag with a white shirt, a short navy blue skirt with a white stripe at the top, and some long navy blue socks that also, like the skirt, had a stripe on them.

As I walk up the stairs my phone rings. "Who could that be?" I thought. As I answered my new Principle said hello. I rushed down the stairs, stumbling as my Principle asks for my Mother.

"Mom, it's the Principal!" I whisper.

"O-Oh! Thank You honey!" She says.

I head upstairs to try my new school uniform on.
