Today is the the day I turn eighteen, and the first day back to school. Since I'm a Senior that means that this is my last year of school, thankfully. As I get out of bed I check my phone to see what time it is. Once my eyes adjust to the brightness of my phone screen I realize that I'm gonna be late for my first day of school! I jump out of bed and quickly try to find something to wear. I finally go with a plaid shirt, ripped skinny jeans, a brown jacket, and my boots. After putting on my clothes I rush to the bathroom and apply my make-up to my face and instead of doing something nice with my hair, I just throw it up in a messy bun on top of my head. Once I'm through getting ready I run into Cameron's room and gently wake him up. After Cam is somewhat awake I easily pick him up out of his crib and take him to the lady who lives in the apartment right next to mine because I pay her to babysit Cameron while I go to work and school. After I get Cameron settled I run back to my apartment and grab my keys and phone. I lock the door and run down the stairs of my apartment building and jump into my Honda Civic. As I pull into school I check the time to see that I only have five minutes to get to my first class. Once I'm in the school I don't even bother trying to find my locker and instead I head straight for my first class. I make it into the classroom right as the first bell rings! The teacher walks in behind me and tells me to take a seat because class is about to begin. As I look for the first seat I can get to, I realize there is only one seat open. The seat was in the back of the room next to a tall, muscular guy with beautiful, mysterious hazel eyes and messy dark brown hair. I walked to the back with my eyes locked on him the whole time. Once I sat down the teacher, Mr. Henry, started taking attendance. After everyone's name had been checked off the list, we just took notes the rest of the class. I'm pretty sure I missed most of the notes because I couldn't stop looking or thinking about the guy sitting next to me. After the bell, to signal that class was dismissed, I decided I was going to go find my locker. When I found my locker I was disappointed to find out that it was on the opposite side of the school from where my classes were. I made the decision to only put the things I didn't need or want at school in my locker and kept the rest in my backpack, that I would carry around all day. I made it through the rest of my classes without a problem besides the fact that the gorgeous guy in my first class was Also in all my other classes too. How am I going to be able to concentrate with him in all my classes? After I finally leave the school I go straight to the hospital. My dad was diagnosed with Cancer a year ago, and it is honestly a miracle he is still alive. I don't have any friends so nobody knows about my family issues. My dad is the only parent me and my younger brother have left. My mom left right after she gave birth to Cameron. Cameron is only a year old so he really won't be able to remember my mom or dad because mom is already gone and dad doesn't have much longer to live. I'm the only one Cameron is going to have in his life I have to be his dad, mom, and sister all combined. My mom always hated me because she thought I got in the way of her and my fathers life, and she blamed me for my dad getting cancer. My dad was always the one who cared for me and and loved me. Mom on the other hand left right when dad found out he had cancer. My life is hard and very overwhelming but I have to stay strong for Cam. My dad was immediately sent to the hospital a month after Cameron was born, so I was left on my own to pay bills and take care of a baby. When I leave for school I give Cameron to the lady in the apartment next To mine and I pay her to babysit him while I'm at school. After I visit my dad for about two and a half hours everyday I go home to spend time with Cameron before I have to leave for my job. That's the normal routine for every week day, but we spend our weekends different then week days. On weekends I get up early take Cam to the babysitter and then go to work for a couple of hours, then I go home and pick Cameron up and we go visit dad for lunch, and with the rest of our time we go pay bills then do something fun like go to the park and get ice cream! Since it's just me and Cameron on our own I sold the big house my parents, cameron, and I used to live in and instead bought an apartment with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and nice living room and kitchen, laundry room, and a small office. The apartment is perfect for just me and baby Cameron. It will probably always just be me and Cameron living on our own , and in some ways I'm kind of okay with that.
