It was you. You killed us.
I forced myself awake before the nightmare could get to me. I sighed, I forgot to light the dreamless sleep candle. I checked the clock on my nightstand. 6:00 AM.
I knew I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep so I got up and started Proia Ayonistes. I lit my deity candles and said good morning then looked in my mirror and said my affirmations.
"You are beautiful, you are perfect, you don't have to change for anyone." Persephone hugged me, she was upset that I was depressed enough to need affirmations and she always made sure I knew she loved me as much as a being incapable of love could. She always makes me smile. Hades gave me a smile. "You're nightmares can never define who you are." He always tells me. I returned the smile.
Next, Aphrodite smiled at me and made sure I knew I was perfect. Then Hestia, who went on a feminism strike and stopped speaking for the week pointed at my red Garnet. I nodded and smiled, this is why I admire her. And finally, Athena. "Go take a shower cinnamon roll." Was all she had to say. I blushed and nodded.
"You know, for ancient deities incapable of love, you all come really close." I said. Then I snuffed out their candles and went to take a shower. When I got out of the shower I sat and air-dried as usual and got on TikTok. When my hair was dry enough to be dealt with, I stood in front of my mirror and combed in a squirt of anti-frizz cream, and some volume dry shampoo, and then I settled the look with hairspray.
After I brushed my teeth I got dressed in jeans, a t-shirt, my SI hoodie, and checkered Vans. I put on my pentacle, put my amethyst in my pocket, grabbed my pendulum, and made sure I had everything for school. I went to the kitchen and set my bag down then grabbed a small lunch and made my coffee.
Recently, I got my driver's license so I could drive to school on my own, but Mr. Stark probably wouldn't like it if I took one of his cars without permission. So I just swing to school. I got there early so I just went to class and started working early. The teacher walked in and smiled, since she isn't a demon like a few others I know. "Good morning, Ms. Isidore." I said. "Good morning, Peter. You're here early."
"I woke up early so I decided that I would just start early." She smiled again and started writing on the board. Time passed fast and soon enough Ned and MJ were sitting with me and Ms. Isidore was explaining that we had a mixed subjects test and the class that got the best scores would get a special reward.
She handed out the tests and I had to hold back a laugh. This was so easy. Soon I was finished and sitting in the spinny chair in the back with the teacher and playing with my favorite teacher. I know my autism doesn't MAKE me do this, but it sure does like it.

I was so happy because I went through the entire day with Flash at home. At the end of the day I swung home and waited for someone to find me sprawled on the couch.
