In the Morning

GISELLE:

I woke up the next day with a pounding headache, I sat up a little quickly and held my head aching for the pain to go away. As I did a quick scan around the setting I was in, I could tell that I fell asleep in my living room. I walked to my kitchen and grabbed myself a cup of water, and some Tylenol from the cabinet. As I finished swallowing the pill and downing my water I examined the living room. Red solo cups everywhere, empty alcohol bottles on the counter, and pizza boxes left open. I checked the time, dreading going to school.

6:50 a.m.

I started cleaning up a little bit but soon decided to get myself ready for a long day at school. I threw on a pair of sweatpants, tee shirt, and slipped on a pair of my chuck 70's. I also grabbed a pair of sunglasses so my hangover didn't look too bad. As I slowly came down the stairs I saw Tyler picking up whatever useless junk was around and throwing it into a trash bag.

"Some little kickback you had." He said as he rolled his eyes at me.

I slipped on my sunglasses and grabbed some yogurt from my fridge, "Sarah and I didn't even invite half the people here, it just got out of hand."

"You and Sarah are cleaning this up later." I could tell Tyler was irritated at me, but whatever, he was still picking up trash from the floor.

"Where is Sarah? I literally saw her once with-" I cut myself off knowing that I cannot tell my brother who she wan off with.

"With who?" He asked throwing the empty alcohol cups into the bag.

"Some of our friends from school." I answered. "Also, can you drive me to school today, I'm a little hungover to drive myself." I said as I grabbed a spoonful of my strawberry yogurt and ate it.

I saw Tyler roll his eyes, annoyed that I was now dragging him into my mess, "Does Sarah need a ride?"

"I'll ask her." I said and texted Sarah.

Me: Tyler is taking me to school today, too hungover from last night, need a ride?

Sarah: No thanks, I'll meet you at school <3

"She said no, so I guess it's just me and you." I said as I went to grab my backpack.

"We're taking your car!" Tyler yelled at me.

"No we're not! I don't trust you driving my Range Rover!" I said as I quickly grabbed my keys and hid them.

"Actions have consequences Giselle." Tyler smirked and grabbed my spare keys.

After a long fifteen minute drive to school, Tyler dropped me off and I let him know that I was going to catch a ride with Sarah after school. He left me afterwards and I walked to my first period class. History, with those pogues. I quietly took my seat, not wanting to make any eye contact or talk with/to anyone. I made sure to have my water bottle near me at all times, so I could hydrate after yesterday.

30 minutes into this class and I already feel like falling asleep. Taking notes was already boring and it's even worse when you have a morning teacher. I swear I caught myself falling asleep here and there, my head falling side to side.

"Miss Vue." My teacher spoke, catching my attention.

"Um yes, sorry what was the question?" I asked, flustered that I was literally dozing off in class.

"Stay focused please." As they turned back to the board to explain whatever they were talking about.

I then heard little laughs and whispers about me. Of fucking course.
