Penelope trotted down the steps from the second day floor, hurrying to the first. ‘It should be here today’, she said to herself, shuffling out the door, forgetting to close it completely as she rushes over to the mailbox to collect the days accumulation.
She fiendishly rummaged through the box and grabbed each piece before rummaging once more through the pile in search of her name, unable to wait until she’s gotten inside the house to check for what’s been keeping her up the last week since all of her friends have received theirs. A gleam graced her eyes as she discovered the envelope with her school as the sender and her, or parent/guardian of her rather, as the recipient. She tore it open hastily, leaving behind jagged edges but revealing her faultless schedule for the approaching fall. ‘Yes! All good teachers and classes I like.’
She was overjoyed and thinking of celebrating.
