lost in time

Another Day

I shiver as the wind hits my face and slowly I open my eyes. I start blink repeatedly trying to blink this sleep away looking around my room I take a moment for my eyes to adjust to the dark I grab my phone under my pillow and the time says 2:30am I've never been awake at this time before. I look around trying to figure out where the cold air is coming from and I realize I left one of my windows open jumping out of bed I quickly close it and dive back to sleep without a second thought knowing that my alarm will go off at 6:30am and mama Su will drag me out of bed and into the girls shower room to get ready for school.

****
It's 7:30am and I'm heading to school and I'm running late. You see school in south Africa starts at 7:45 normally but my high school stats at 8:00 and then we have 15 minutes of homeroom before heading to my first lesson at 8:15. So I have till 8:15 to get to school before I have to sign in and let's not forget the irritating messages they send to your parents for getting to school late well in my case mama Su. They can't send it to my parents because well you might have guessed it I don't know them don't feel sorry for me because I feel sorry for them they lost a bad bitch.

I just wish they left a surname behind though because A is not considered as a surname, but being in my possession and well with no identification as well as no missing child repot filed or hospital records of children being born with my discription there is no possible way of tracking down my egg and sperm doner's. God I pray I was the only child they ever had I wouldn't wish this on anyone what so ever, even the fakest people I know figurative and literally speaking.

Before I know it I'm standing in front of Mrs Mc Coy  door and my whole class is gathered outside waiting for her again. She has never shown up to school on time I personally think she needs to rethinking her career choices because she hates kids but enjoys shouting at them she say that's when she realized teaching was the job for her. I head to my best friend Jim his standing at the back of the line with Jane . Jim is Asian but his probably more black then most black people I know before you think I'm racist or anything I'm black which is weird because in the baby pictures mama Su showed me I looked white well turns out I was just a sick 2 week old baby, turns out that happens when you leave a premature baby outside in May during winter. Jim's dark black hair is short in a buzz cut that is most likely his mom's doing and his wearing his black ear rings again which are against our school uniform but he could care less and as usual his pretending to listen to what Jane is saying well she clings no to him like her life depends on it.

I walk over to them a huge Jim without saying a word he removes Jane off his arm and hold me close to him we stand like this without saying a word till Mrs Mc coy appears and directs the class into the classroom but as we enter the bell for first class rings and once again we didn't do the register. Heading to our first lesson English Jane decided to catch up with us and once again she's questioning our friendship because well we don't look like friends.

When you see two people of the opposite gender who are as close as me and Jim you instantly think they are dating but that is not the case here me and Jim are just really close I trust him with my life and he trusts me with his. As Jane goes on about whether or not we are dating again she starts drawing attention again but as usual everyone is patiently waiting for her to shut up, you see every has accepted the me and Jim are just comfortable with each other and has let it go  well every but her and her voices is stating to give me a headache.

*******
The day gose by and it's finally lunch time so I don't bring lunch I bring money and Jim beings food enough for the both of us and we take my money and head to the tuckshop for some drinks and sweets it's something we've always done its currently built in and that's the way it will always be even when he has a girlfriend he feeds me and not her which I find weird but his girlfriend last for like a week then like most of them they decided they know prefer dating girls. I don't know how but apperantly it took dating Jim for them to realize that they were lesbian weird If you ask me but not all his exs just most of them.

As this day go by I start to think about tomorrow. 17 years ago tomorrow would be the day I appeared at the ophangen and every year on that day we celebrated my birthday because we don't know the exact dates of the day but lately I haven't felt like myself. I'm a bitch meaning I ain't got a filter I say what I want and flirt with who ever I want even if he has a girlfriend now just cause I'm a bitch doesn't mean I'm a hoe surprisingly I'm a virgin but that is beside the point the point I'm trying to make is I'm not a fan of history and learning new things and reading but recently in history class we started talking about things that happened in the 1800s and for some reason I'm entertained I'm paying attention as well
as reading ahead and doing my own research for some reason I feel drawn to that time of life I feel as though I could live in that timeline.
