Alex woke up to his alarm playing the song Courtesy Call by Thousand foot crutch. He pulled his blankets off and pulled himself on to his wheelchair. He then wheeled himself down the hall to the bathroom where he took a shower and washed up. Then he went back into his room and put his prosthetic leg on and then put on jeans to cover the leg, he put on his boots and then went down stairs where he had a quiet breakfast with his parents. His father was watching the news while his mother was ironing. Alex just ate his breakfast and then grabbed his backpack. He began to walk out when he heard his father say "wait" Alex stopped walking and his father walked up to him and said "don't push yourself too hard, it's your first day of school in this town so just take it easy" Alex gave a small smile and said "thanks dad" Alex then left the house and began to walk to school. His parents watched with worried looks on their faces. Then when he was out of sight they went back to doing what they were doing before.
