"Jade,wakeup!You're going to be late for school"Her aunt's voice pierced through the sleepy haze,accompanied by the harsh rustling of her curtains being yanked opened.
She groggily opened her eyes to find her aunt Rachel,standing over her.
Aunt Rachel,"do I really have to go to school today?"She whined,burrowing under her blankets.
Her aunt chuckled and shook her head."You're not a morning person,I get it.But you can't stay in bed all day.You'll miss your favorite chemistry teacher!"
She reluctantly threw off the covers and sat up rubbing her eyes.What time is it?
Almost 8:30AM,You need to get moving,kiddo.
She swung her legs over the side of the bed,Her aunt handed her a cup of steaming hot coffee."Thanks,Aunt Rachel",She said,taking a sip.
She stood up and began to get ready for school,a family question crept into her mind.Aunt Rachel,can I ask you something?
Sure thing,Jade.What's up?
She hesitated,"It's just...I was wondering about my parents again."
Her aunt's expression changed,"Jade,we've talked about this.Your parents are....gone.They can't be here for you,okay?"
Why did her aunt always evade her questions about her parents?
What was she hiding from her?
