Zara's POV:
I woke up felling really energetic, but of course, that didn't last for long. I got out of bed and did everything that you normally do ik the morning, for changed, then my brother shouted "ZARA, GET DOWN HERE OR WERE GONNA BE LATE FOR SCHOOL"
"Alright, alright! I'm coming!" I replied just before running down the stairs and grabbed an apple to eat on the way to school. I walked outside in sync with my best friend Nevi, or Neviah, just as we got near to school my brother asked, "hey, are you okay?"
"Hmm?" I answered,
"I asked if you were okay,"
"Oh-yeah I'm fine, just tired"
"This morning your were jumping around the place and now your just 'tired'?"
"Yeah! Isn't that a thing? Plus I don't like school, and look where we are now. School."
"Okay you might actually be right for once. Anyways I've got to go to class, see ya later sis," Jack said.
"'Kay bye!" I told him.
"You really love him don't you?" Nevi, my best friend said scaring me,
"OH MY- holy jeez Nevi, you scared the hell outta me!"
"I've been here since you left your house, how did you not notice?"
"I did, I just kinda zoned out..." I said zoning into my own world as we sat down for chemistry. I didn't even realise it, but by the time I got out of my daze, there was only 3 minutes left of class. The bell rung while me and Nevi for out of the classroom. We were walking to English when I heard, " YO ZARA! HOW YOU DOIN' WITH YOUR FAKE ADHD?" Alex, my school bully shouted to me, "it's not fake, she actually has it, just like the plastic surgery you need" Nevi said, backing me up. And just like that, he ran away with a red face.
"Thanks Nev" I said feeling really embarrassed that my BEST FRIEND had to stand up for me and I couldn't do so myself. I felt a tear fall down. I quickly wiped it, but more fell, I just wanted to die in that moment. I realised that was happening, I was having a panic attack, my watch buzzed notifying my brother to come and help me, I didn't want him seeing me this weak and getting out of his lesson just for me, Nevi left to go to class because I forced her to go even though she was unsure of leaving me, I slid down my locker just as my brother came,
"Hey, hey, hey. It's me Jack, can you look at me? Let me see those big eyes of yours. Yeah, there you go, now can you follow my breathing? It's just like we practiced, okay? Breath in... and out... let's do it again, okay? In... and out... your doing really well I'm really proud of you! Just one more time, okay? In... and... out... good job, you did it, I'm right here don't worry." I cried into his shoulder while hugging him whilst muttering 'I'm sorry' loads of times,
"Why are you apologising? You did nothing wrong," he said,
"Im sorry for making you get out of class for me, you shouldn't have done that for me," I said as I was fidgeting with my fingers.
"I was bored anyways so don't be sorry, you kinda saved me from Mr.Wilson," he said as we both chuckled.The day went on as normal as it can get with ADHD, I got home and just stared at my ceilings for hours, until my dad called out "JACK, ZARA, NEVI'S HERE TO JOIN US WITH DINNER, COME ON!" I ran downstairs and hugged her. Jack laughed as he saw how happy I was, I have him a small smile. Dinner went really well, I love my family so much, I just don't love myself...
A.U. I hope you liked the first chapter, it's my first time writing a book or anything, I don't have ADHD that bad, but I tried my hardest to get things as right as I could. Also the panic attack wasn't to do with ADHD.
Thanks!
Janna, out!
