I could hear my mom yell my name,but I didn't want to wake up,nor go to school today. It would just be another boring day like the others. I then heard a shriek from my mother.
She yelled, "Hurry up and get ready for school!"
So I yelled back ,"COMING!".
Yesterday. Tomorrow is the "BIG" test that I was "supposed" to study for, but I didn't want to take it nor study for it. I felt what some people could call it, "Lazy".
I heard my dad yell my name, "Mike!".
"Hooray time for family Drama," I thought as I walked downstairs and of course everyone was looking at me. I know why. My Hazel brown hair was all messy and knotty, even though it was short and looked like a boy's hair. "So are you going to just stare? Or can I come down to eat breakfast?" I asked. I could tell they were laughing on the inside by their facial expressions. I was mad but I kept my feelings inside. My mom waved at me to sit down, I didn't want to, but I could tell that she insisted so I sat down anyway. I love my parents but sometimes they get on my nerves. By this time I finished my breakfast, I said "thank you" and headed up to my room to go and get changed for the day. "Ugh", "what should I wear?" I thought as I looked into my closet. After about 3-4 minutes I finally found a crop top, and some sweatpants. You see, I'm not really the type of person that likes to wear "short-shorts'', or really tight clothing. I'm more of a baggy clothes or not so tight clothes type of person. After I was done getting dressed, I did what most "normal" people do, I brushed my teeth and hair but my hair was a little messy, but what did I care?. I went back downstairs with my bookbag in hand, and OF COURSE, everyone and I say EVERYONE had to look at me with disgust in their eyes. "Like what you see?". My mom, "No", My dad, "No", THE DOG.. well the dog was just being lazy like always. I honestly didn't care what I looked like. "Well uhm, I'm going to head to school now". Only the dog barked while the rest stared, of course. "Allright bye then, love you guys''. As I was closing the door I could hear my mom say.. "Love you too honey!". "See you when you get home!". I closed the door and then all I heard was birds chirping and cars driving past me. I loved it, I was finally out of that stinking house. After I was done breathing in the somewhat fresh air. I started my journey to school. School wasn't that far but I liked to take the long way, even if that meant being somewhat late, but who cares? It's school! Nobody that I knew really likes school. I was almost to school already, who knew that I walked fast?!. When I got to school I saw what they call themselves "popular kids", but I call them bullies. I saw an alleyway. It was pretty dark, a perfect place to get away from them and to put my sweatshirt onto atleast get my hood up. But I heard some boxes fall over.. I was trying to make out if it was rats or something else. I know it wasn't the wind cause I would have felt it. I was about to turn around and walk back out but then I saw a shadow move in the corner of my eye. "Alright enough with your jokes, come out!". "I saw your shadow move". I found out it was a person, because they stepped out of the shadows. He looked about my age, mabie a year older than me. About probably 16 or 17?. At this point I'm just guessing. They started to talk to me but I wasn't listening because of how frustrated I was at them. All I heard from them talking to me is, "why do you look like a boy?", and that they recognized me from my school. I guess we go to the same school?. About 2 minutes later they finally stopped talking and I could finally put a sense in their step. "DUDE WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" They started to talk again but I cut them off. "WHY ARE YOU LURKING AROUND IN A ALLEYWAY?!". I stopped to take a breath, and they started to talk and answer my questions. "Alright 1. Im "lurking" in an alleyway because I don't want to go to school. 2. There is nothing wrong with me. 3. My name is Alex. I was still mad but not that much anymore, since I now knew his name. "Well my name is Mike". "I have a boy name because my parents thought I was a boy at first and when they found out, they decided to keep my name the same".
"Oh well I'm sorry, I guess".
"It's fine".
"Well school is about to start","so we should get going".
"Yeah".
I turned around and started to walk out of the alleyway with Alex following from behind. I had my hood over my head still. We exited the alley and I saw the school's doors about to close?!. This has got to be the worst day of my life. I grabbed Alex's hand and ran to the school doors as fast as I could. Alex looked confused but at least tried to keep up with my speed. Luckily the halls were empty. I was so mad at Alex but right now wasn't the time to be, we needed to get to class. We went our separate ways, I knocked on my classroom's door, hopefully someone answered, I was in deep trouble. I went to the office and my parents were there, I guess they called them. GREAT!. At this time we were almost home, my parents were reprimanding me. But I didn't care, and they grounded me. I was so mad, this was all Alex's fault!!.
