Hey people, thank you if your reading this story, its not that great but hey its not horrible, right? Hope you continue to read :)

The morning sun filtered through my curtains and into my room. Groaning I rolled over. 'THUNK', the sound echoed of the walls, followed by 'Oooww', which was me, now sprawled on the floor. I lay on the carpet for a while before I finally decided to get up, leaning on my bed I pulled myself onto my feet. 'What a good start to such a good day', I commented sarcastically to myself.

'Are you okay in there honey?', mum's voice found its way through the door. 'Yeah, I'm fine', I told her,
'Are you sure, because I thou...',
'Fine, just fine, never felt better', I said cutting her off.
I knew mum hadn't picked up on the sarcasm when footsteps gently patted down the hall. 'Phew', I sighed, at least I had gotten mum off my back. Today was friday and I was in for a heck of a day, boring classes every period.

I need caffeine, my brain argued, giving in I walked across the road. Entering the caffe I walked to the counter. 'Hello miss, how are you today', asked the perky blonde behind the counter, ' Yeah good', I lied,
'Could I just grab a coffee please'.

'Here you go darl', said the man at the register,'That'll be 4.50'.
I handed him the cash and took the steaming cup of happiness.
Exiting the store I continued down the street, I sipped at my coffee admiring how good it tasted.

Arriving at school I sighed, wondering how long the day was going to take. I dawdled over to the locker bays taking as much time as possible. As I reached my locker somebody shoved me from behind, 'Ooff', I exclaimed as my precious coffee flew out of my hand and hit the floor at high speed. 'How dare you ...' I started to say, turning around I see my least favourite person. 'Cassie', I growled
'Oh hi sweetie, maybe you should look where your going next time, yeah?', she replied with absolutely no forgiveness in her tone.
'Cassie, why don't you go find Dylan, he'll be happy to see you', I snapped.
'Well somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed', she stated innocently, turning around she strutted away.

Grumbling I faced my locker and unlocked it, pulling out my english books I sighed heavily. As I walked to class Dylan smirked at me, Cassie had obviously told him what happened. I looked away and kept walking trying to keep my dignity, tripping on a foot I face planted. Getting up hurriedly I thought phew, I don't think anyone saw.

I was very wrong, rubbing my sore nose I turned around, everyone chose that moment to burst out laughing, it echoed down the long corridor. I was used to public humiliation but today I just wasn't going to take. I was mad, no I was angry, really angry, people that had looked up stopped laughing and became nervous. I was feeling murderous and I had had enough, 'Do you think thats funny', I screamed at them. Everyone stopped laughing except for Dylan, I walked up to him and stated,'Who do you think you are, strutting around the school with a bunch of ladies', he smirked at me like I was the pathetic one.

Now you must know what I did probably wasn't right but I was soo angry.

He laughed again, filling the corridor with the sound. 'Oh yeah?', I told him calmly,'Well you got another thing coming'. As quick as lightning I raised my hand, 'WACK', the sound echoed through the corridor as my hand came into contact with has cheek. People stood there gaping, I turned to walk off, unfortunately the principle chose that moment to walk around the corner, 'Miss Johnson to my office immediately', she spoke. I hung my head and followed her, Dylan smirked at me again, like he had the guts to do anything.

And thats how my day went which is why I am currently in the principles office writing down what actually happened, I'm hoping I can blame Dylan. Just a few tweaks to the story won't hurt, right?

What did you think? Comment if you want but please, please, please keep reading. I'll update soon.
Thanks.
