"BEEP BEEP BEEP." The noise of my alarm clock woke me up. I made a grunting noise and sat up on my bed. I looked down to see if TaeTae was there. But guess what? She (or he) wasn't there. I started to freak out and looked around in panic. "Where could TaeTae be?" I said to myself. I got out of the covers and went to look for the kitty. I looked under my bed but she wasn't there either. "UGH, that freaking kitten is going to make me late!" But finally, I found TaeTae under my vanity table. I picked TaeTae up and carried her (or him) to my bed. "Don't ever do that again, you bad kitty."
So after that, I went to go get ready for school. I walked into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. After that, I waltzed myself to my closet and couldn't decide what to wear. I really need to get my clothes ready the night before, but who has time for that? Anyway, I chose to wear a light gray sweater and black leggings. I went back into the bathroom to apply some makeup. "FUCK. I can never get it right," I angrily said. I tried to make one wing look like the other, but I can never seem to make that happen. I put my hair up in a bun.
After I got ready, I grabbed my black backpack, put my converse on, and told TaeTae to be a good kitty. I didn't have any food for the kitty so all I had were crackers and milk. After I fed TaeTae, I went downstairs. I greeted my mom good morning and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. "Are you sure you're not hungry?", she asked in worry. "Yes mama," I replied. "Well, okay. Just making sure," she sighed. I waved my mom goodbye and grabbed my car keys.
As usual, I picked up Trinity on my way to school. I called Trinity that I was in the driveway. Then, she came out the door and told her mom she was leaving. She closed the door and walked towards my car. When she came in, she seemed to mumble something under her breath. "Uh, what was that?", I asked with a confused look. "Oh nothing. Don't worry," she said. I stared at her suspiciously but didn't make a remark. I started up the car again and backed out the driveway. "Hey. You don't mind if I play some K-Pop?", Trinity asked. "Go ahead," I said. I kind of regretted that because right when I gave her permission, she reached for the aux cord and blasted this one K-Pop song. "I NEED YOU GIRL NEON AREUMDAWO!", Trinity screamed.
"Oh my god, Trinity! Calm down! It's not that serious," I yelled over the music. I turned down the music and Trinity looked over at me. "Hmph. I need you girl neomu chagawo," Trinity sang the lyrics more calmly this time.When we reached the school, there were so much people crowding up by the doors. I parked the car and Trinity went out first. I came out the car and made sure that it was locked. We walked towards the big crowd.
As we got closer, I clearly recognized what was happening. "Oh, it's one of those stupid promposals," I said as I rolled my eyes. "What's so bad about promposals?", Trinity asked. If only she knew. Back when I was junior, someone asked me out to prom and it happened to be this jock. His name was Peniel. It happened in the cafeteria. Peniel came up to me with a big poster that had "PROM?" written on it. I was kind of surprised because it was all of a sudden. I happily said yes and clapped my hands. Then, everyone started laughing. I looked around, confused, and started to question myself what was going on. I then turned around to see Peniel flip the poster on the other side, which had "Just kidding!" on it. I stared at the poster, then at him in embarrassment . I ran out of the cafeteria and into the bathroom. I went into one of the stalls and cried. "How could I have fallen for something like that?", I questioned.But now, it's my senior year and I don't plan on going to prom this year. I went around the big crowd with Trinity following behind me.
