I tried keeping my eyes open all morning, I went to bed late last night trying to finish an essay, which wasn't even the hard part, the hard part was coming up with a reason for not doing it and just GOING TO BED EARLY FOR ONCE!
But that's just hopeful thinking. Stupid, hopeful thinking.
I was in the passenger seat of Marley's (technically her mom's) jeep, driving to school and I kept banging my head on the door, almost falling asleep.
"Girl?" She said, "you need some tunes."
She clicked a few buttons on the dashboard, scrolled through some songs, smiled, and clicked on one.
Suddenly, the beginning beat of Beyoncé's Single Ladies began blasting in the car and I groaned, but couldn't help from smiling.
"She! Is! Royalty!" Marley said, and I know she is, I love her, but like...
Why this song?
It's old... and she has so much better songs.
But Marley loves this one, so I guess we're sticking with it.
"ALL THE SINGLE LADIES! ALL THE SINGLE LADIES!" Marley sang, "ALL THE SINGLE LADIES- PUT YOUR HANDS UP!"
Marley's hand shot up and she started walking it around, and my hand went up subconsciously and I smiled.

"Are there any questions?" Ms. Damen said from the front of the room. "If there are, please speak up now."
Everyone just stared at her blankly and she waited for a few seconds before walking over to her computer and sharing the screen on the smartboard so we could see the screen of the wheel that decides my fate for the next couple weeks.
