1 - last day of hell

"jane."

"jane!"

i woke up to someone violently shaking me awake.

"im up, im up.", i said groggily, shoving my face into my pillow.

"its your last day, young lady. Jane Pickford, i want you to finish the school year without another tardy, so up an at 'em!", my mom said sternly. she yanked the covers off of me. I flipped over and abruptly sat up.

"alright, alright! im up! gimme fifteen minutes and i'll be ready to go. is kev up yet?", i asked while rubbing my eyes.

"i'm on my way to do that now.", my mother replied, headed out my door.

"love you, mom!", i shouted from inside my room.

"love you too, honey!"

i put my face into my hands and sighed.

its the last day, all you gotta do is get through the last day. then, freedom. for a lousy two months.

Reluctantly, I got up and made my way over to my dresser. After rummaging through a few drawers, i found a pair of pants i liked. they were denim sailor pants. sailor pants were kind of like bell bottoms just not nearly as wide at the bottom and slightly baggy throughout the entire pants. these one's had cute pockets on the front too. I found an orange wrap top which had really pretty bell sleeves and groovy flowers all over it. They couldn't dress code me on the last day, most of the teachers didn't give much of a shit as long as they couldn't see your ass anyways. i quickly got dressed. I ran to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I took my hair curlers out and brushed my hair out. I had naturally long wavy hair and recently, i just got curtain bangs. i shook my hair out and applied some makeup. not much, just blush and mascara. i combed out my eyebrows too. i grabbed my books from my room and headed downstairs. I was determined to make today a good day. i put on my brown leather boots with wooden heels and even though they were mostly covered by my pants, my boots and shirts matched nicely. I had gold hoops and a gold chain necklace on. This was a little more put together than i usually was but i actually thought I looked pretty today. 

"aww, hon. you look pretty.", my mom said.

"thanks mom.", i kissed her on the cheek before heading to the front door. I knew kevin was already waiting in his car because a few seconds ago, he honked. that was his way of telling me that he was going to leave my ass at home if i didn't hurry up.

"have a good day!", she hollered from the kitchen.

"bye, mom!", i said before shutting the door. I walked out to the driveway. Kevin was waiting impatiently, drumming his fingers on the steering wheel.

"c'mon ya little shit! we're gonna be late if you don't get your ass in the car right now!", he shouted.

"jeez, i'm going!", i yelled back at him as i got into the front seat of his car. he pulled out and started speeding down the street. his car stunk of weed. he and his girlfriend smoked all the time. i've only smoked once before. i stole some of his weed which resulted in him getting on my ass and making me pay him back. i'm pretty sure he heavily overcharged me but whatever. sometimes kev was nice to me, but not usually in front of people. i liked it better when he didn't talk, like when he'd take me to school, he wouldn't say a word to me and i wouldn't say anything to him and it was peaceful.

within a few minutes, we had gotten to the junior-high. i grabbed all my books and got out of the car.

"bye, kev.", i said closing the car door with my hip.

"bye, jane.", kevin replied before he sped off. he never said it back so i was a little shocked. i ignored it and walked into school.

The school day went as it always does, just easier. We didn't do much in any of the classes but signing yearbooks and things like that. The day was going by faster than I expected. i was in seventh period with one of my best friends, Sabrina Davis. We were in Algebra, doing nothing.
