Looking in the mirror everyday before the pills kick in is the worst. My insecurities. The questions I could never answer. Normal teenage girl worries. Am I fat? Ugly? Do I need to change something?
I sigh and face the mirror down. No. Not today. Get over yourself and go to school.
My mouth started to feel dry as always. The main side effect of the pills I take. The college was big. Matamata college. I read the welcoming sign
'Welcome to Matamata college, nau mai haere mai ki te kura tuarua o matamata'
I felt someone creep up on me.
"Myra, I know it's you. Why do you try to scare me Every.Single.Day'', she still jumps on me and expects me to hold her up. I fell.
"YOU MADE ME FALL!!!", Myra screamed.
"No. You made me fall", I decided to be smart. "Octavious, you know the deal; I jump, you catch me'', this was a stupid deal. I didn't even agree. I sighed "come on Myra, we're gonna be late".

History
1) When was Captain Cook born?
A) 1787?
2) How many things did Captain Cook name?
2? idk.
I handed in my unfinished sheet. My Dad stared at my sheet in confusion.
"Ollie.... . you need to try with your work. You're my daughter. Be more like Rex", stupid nickname, stupid Rex, maybe it would have hurt more if I hadn't taken my pills, Though me and Rex are twins, we are not in any way the same. "Dad, just because you're a teacher, doesn't mean I have to be", he frowned. "Have you taken your lithium?", I stared into his serious eyes
"Yes, Dad. I have", I mumbled in a low voice so nobody could hear.
His expression brightened.
"Good. Now take a seat".
"October, Robert and Riley; detention during interval for not finishing your work. No exceptions", Dad looked my way and mouthed 'sorry'
Riley stood from his desk.
"But Mr Marshal-",
"Riley, I said no exceptions. Do you understand?",
Riley pouted and took his seat.
"Yes, Mr Marshall", I looked at Robert who looked like he didn't give a crap. Well I didn't either. Detention. It's not like it's the end of the world. I just have to sit on a seat for an hour or two.
With guys... .
Oh well. I live with three guys so I can survive.
GOD no I can't! Guys are freakin' scary!
Suddenly I froze. Did I take my pills? I'm sure I did! I took it this morning!
Wait.
THAT WAS BLOODY NUROFEN!!
I held my head,
Did I overdose?
Am I safe?
Will anyone notice?
I'm screwed, I'm screwed, I'm screwed, I'm screwed.
"DAAAAAAADDD!!!", I scream out loud in front of the class,
"DAD! DAD! DAD!", I repeated over and over, my eyes betrayed me and let out several tears.
"DAD!!!", I yelled again, he ran over to me.
"OLLIE! OCTOBER!? SWEATY ARE YOU OK!?!", my nails dug into my skin, leaving marks that would probably become scars.

*******
Waikato hospital.
I can't even make it through half a day without going to this hell whole.
From what I could see Rex, Mum, Dad, Rawiri and the nurse were standing above me.
Mum was yelling and saying something about me 'always having episodes' and 'needing to get into therapy'. Argh. At least I didn't shoot someone. What's the worst that could happen?
