Mariah woke up to a bright and happy day. She was leaving to go to school. One where she could learn to do all kinds 0f things. Her sister Fiona, who was a selkie and could fit into the neighborhood, tried to open her door.<br/>"Hey fish breath! Open the door this instant.' she yelled as she pounded on the door.<br/><br/>"I am not ready to open the door yet. So beat it. " Mariah spoke in a happy voice. She had packed all of her most precious things in her suitcases for she was sure that Fiona would tear her room apart to find something of worth to destroy. After all Fiona had done it several times before. Her father had told her that her room would be locked while she was away.<br/><br/>Mariah ignored the yelling from Fiona and went over her check list. Her suitcase was packed, her jewelry chest was packed and stored in her specialized wheelchair, her special doll and clothes were packed and tucked into her wheelchair as well. Her necklace was around her neck and she had everything she needed. She closed her wheelchair with the automatic closer, sealing her into her wheelchair. She tucked her list in the desk tray where she kept her laptop and diary as well as several waterproof notebooks and colored pens.<br/><br/>She maneuvered her chair to the door where Fiona was still yelling and crying.<br/>"Fiona, please move so that I can come out or I will call for Daddy." she spoke calmly.<br/><br/>"You always were Daddy's pet." Fiona spat out as she stepped out of the way. SHe had plans of slipping inside the room but Daddy came by to check on Mariah.<br/><br/>"Mariah, are you ready? The driver is here." Daddy spoke calmly. "Fiona, give your sister a kiss good bye and come out to wave goodbye. And you are not to go in her room so give it up. It will stay locked until Mariah is back."<br/><br/>Mariah was glad to get the goodbyes gone so that she could ride up the ramp and leave this place. She was going to school at last!<br/>She looked at her wrist at the translator which is suppose to translate everything that she heard into her own language. Since she could not fit on the train with other teens like her, she had to go by van. It was lonely and long...... so long that Mariah fell asleep.<br/>The next thing she knew was that she was awaken by the driver saying that she was at the school.<br/><br/>Carefully, Mariah backed out of the van and onto the road. The driver put the two suitcases on her specialized wheelchair. He tied them down so that they would not fall off.<br/><br/>"Be sure to get your paperwork done first thing. You can make friends after you are situated in your room. There is plenty of time for socializing." the driver spoke.<br/><br/>"I will. I have all of my notes on this clipboard with a pen attached to it. I'll be  fine." Mariah spoke.<br/>"Thanks for everything!" she spoke as she turned her wheelchair and headed towards the doors of the subway.
