Internal Monologue

Tomorrow is going to be a good day. I’ll get up early and even get the last donut with no arguments from my brothers! Then,  I’ll just have to make it through school, get home, and I’ll be able to hang out with some friends!

          I slept through my alarm. I don’t know what happened. I went to bed last night and woke up with my dad pounding on my door. It’s okay though! That's only one slip up, the rest of the day will be good, I swear!

          My brothers split the last donut. Oh well! At least I don’t have to deal with any fighting. I’ll just grab the raisin bran and eat some of that for breakfast. It doesn’t matter that it makes me want to throw up, it’s better than going to school on an empty stomach. 

          The bus is too loud. Children are everywhere - even being a highschooler doesn’t give you any authority. I think I sat on some gum as well. It’s okay. When I get to school, I’ll just run to the bathroom and remove the gum, it should be easy! Good thing I took some deep breaths before getting on the bus, they really centered me, and helped me forget about the raisin bran in my stomach. Now I can get through the bus ride at least! It is still going to be a good day.

          I got the gum off my pants. See? It is a good day because my pants aren’t ruined! You just have to think of the little things that make your day better, and it’ll all be okay!

I forgot to do my word lit homework. I have to draw some scenes from a book; show that I know figurative language. Of course I know figurative language, who doesn’t? It’s fine though, I’ll just do it tonight, turn it in tomorrow. That's at most only 5 points off, my grade is fine anyways.

          The teacher isn’t accepting late work for the assignment. That’s going to be an F. It’ll probably only bring my grade down a small bit though! It’s okay, maybe my parents won't even see it! It is still a good day.

Both Geometry and Biology went well. That means today is a good day. Geometry and Bio are usually my worst subjects, but I think I did well on the assignments today!

          I jinxed myself.

          There was a pop quiz in US History. It wasn’t too time consuming though, and I was able to work on some other stuff while I waited for class to end! That means once I get home, I won't have any work to do and will be able to head out with my friends right away!

          It is still a good day.

          School is finally over, and the bus is a lot quieter. After school activities seem to do that. See? Today is great! I only have a couple of assignments that I forgot to do yesterday to complete when I get home. My friends promised to pick me up around 4 anyways, so I’ll have time!

          The work was pretty easy and now it’s almost time for the best part of the day; hanging with friends!

          Apparently none of them can make it. It’s fine though! Everything is fine! We can always just hang out some other time.

          I had pizza for dinner because my parents are out on a date. That’s good for them! It’s good to get out for a while. Anyways, now I have the whole house to myself! Imagine all I could do! Watch tv, bake cookies, maybe play a video game, take a nap, clean my room, draw, watch tv, bake cookies- Oh. I’m repeating myself. I guess there aren’t that many fun things to do by yourself. Still, being home alone isn’t bad, you just have to make it fun. Maybe I’ll spend some time on my phone then watch a movie.

          I was on instagram and it turns out none of my friends were busy. They just didn’t want to hang out with me. They’re at the beach five minutes from my house. Today was a good day, I just have to look for the good parts! I’m not going to cry, I swear. It’s allergies. I’m fine, really. Maybe tomorrow will be better, and my friends will apologize, and say their real reasons for not bringing me. 

It’s still not the worst day. 

It’s not.

Tomorrow will be better.

No it won't.
