A Revolution; By Katlynn Chrans “So how’re you finding freshman year” I smiled at my younger brother as he devoured the eggs mom had made us for breakfast. I watched his lips turn up at the corner, the satisfaction clear on his face. “It’s great!” he enthusiastically replied, grinning from ear to ear again. “I love that I get to pick my classes, do stuff that I love, not stuff I have to do ya know?” he added. I smiled back while I stood and ruffled his hair. I set my plate in the sink, my mom rushing over to clean it. “I’ve got that sweetie, you two get going. Claire good luck with your SAT prep test after school, you’ll do great okay” she beamed. I hugged her tightly; her hand ran softly up and down my back. Her dark auburn hair smelt faintly of roses and honey. “I love you so so much Claire, I am so proud of you” she whispered to me giving me a tighter squeeze. I gave her one last smile before grabbing my bag and heading out the front door.
