Emiry

Monday morning I woke up by kissing the floor. Yes I fell out of bed because my phone was out of reach and my arms aren't long enough.

I quickly get dressed in my uniform and decide to put on the sweater for later. After brushing my teeth and packing everything into my bag I head downstairs.

"Morning." My mom greeted me.

"Morning." I took a seat with Nutella toast ready on the table.

"Where's dad?"

"He's still in deep slumber. What else do you expect?" I slightly chuckled.

"What time did he came home last night?"

"About eleven."

"Yikes."

"Yeah I don't think you'll be seeing your dad that often now huh?" She flipped over some eggs.

"Yeah."

The warm cup of milk was instantly down by me and I took a bite of the toasted bread.

"Bye mom!"

"Wait!" I stopped walking and turn back at her.

"Do you have lunch money?"

It took me a while to answer.

"No." She quickly went to the living room and came back with ten pounds in her hand.

"Mom I really don't need that."

"You'll be starving."

"I'll eat after school." I argued.

"Just take it." She slipped the money in my pocket.

"I won't be asking anything from you once I got my salary, I promise."

"It's alright Em now go." She pushed me out the door.

"Bye."

"Goodbye."

The sun wasn't scorching hot which makes it a perfect morning to walk to school. I actually like walking to school occasionally since I hate exercising this is the only way I burn the fat in my body. And with the fresh air and deserted street, morning walks became very relaxing to me.

But then the birds stop chirping when an annoying sound took over it. A white beetle car stops beside me and no, it's not the car that makes annoying noises. It's the mainstream pop music blaring out of the speakers and the obnoxious laughter that comes with it.

Queen bee and her bees.

I pretend like I didn't saw them and keep on walking but they apparently have an interest in starting a conversation.

"Hey Rookie." She chirped as if she's happy to see me. I ignored her.

"Is she deaf?" I laughed on the inside.

"Maybe she's mute." One of her friends say I think it's Erica.

This time I actually laughed.

"Oh wait she's not!"

"What do you pathetic girls want?" I ask.

They seem to be offended by my words before acting like everything's okay.

"Well I was about to offer you a ride before you stated your minor opinion." Clarice said.

"I'd rather improve my motoric skills rater than being in one vehicle with you and your group of friends." I fake smiled.
