Adorable Confusion

Chapter 6

At 6:00am, I am awakened by the annoying alarm on my phone.

Oh my god shut up.

I hit snooze so I can sleep a bit more.

At 6:09am it goes off again, and I do the same thing I did the first time.

Then, at 6:18am it goes off for the final time before I know I have to get up.

I go about my usual morning routine; put brown lunch bag in purse, get dressed, put in contacts, get make-up on, and brush teeth.

Let's face it, breakfast just doesn't happen.

In fact, I've jut gotten so used to not eating breakfast, that when I do, I get nauseous and sick...which I guess isn't a good thing.

Like everyday, my mom drives me down to the bus stop, since it's almost a mile away from my house, and i make her listen to "Four" with me until the bus arrives at 6:59am.

The sky is mostly a dark grey color, but i can see a little pink and orange over the horizon to the left of me. It's so dark this early in the morning.

It's also really cold on my face and legs...the pantyhose help a little bit, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm wearing shorts in 32 degree weather.

I'm thankful when I finally step onto the bus, and embrace the warmth inside.

The second I take a seat in my usual spot in the front, the bus starts going.

I spent the whole ride to school listening to Sia and 5sos.

The bus stops and lets us all off into the school.

The cycle continues...

The cycle of school, eat, tv, sleep, repeat.

I walk up the main staircase into the 11th grade hall, and walk a few yards before I get to my locker.

"Heeey!" I feel someone touch my back.

I turn my head, and see it's just my friend Anna.

"Hey." I say, as I take off my coat and put it on one of the little hooks in the tiny locker.

"What's up?" She asks, watching me take out the books I need for my first couple classes.

"Nothing much. How are you?"

"I'm good. So is Emma gonna send our passes down or do we have to go get them ourselves?" She asks.

"Oh, we can't film today she said. It's gonna be tomorrow now." I informed her, checking to make sure I had all the correct books and folders.

"Oh. Okay that's cool."

"Yea, and I have to go down and help...my...other friend with his video today." I tell her as I shut the locker door and start walking to home room.

"Ok. Wow, a lot of people are doing videos this week." She laughs.

"Yea, it's cause they're in the same class, and the videos are due by the end of the week."

"Oh I didn't know that." She follows me into home room and waits for me to set my stuff on my desk, then we both walk out, to go walking around the halls like we do every morning.
