7am my alarm goes off, after a couple of moments of tossing and turning I get up. I head to the bathroom and start to get ready for school. I brush through my brown hair and wash my face, I add some eyeliner and lipgloss. I throw on my crusty uniform - we all know majority of Irish uniforms are the ugliest things you will ever see. I roll my skirt up so it just about covers my ass, I shove my note books into my bag and head downstairs.
"Where do you think your going with that skirt" I hear my brother Ryan's say as I walk into the kitchen. I roll my eyes and put the kettle on, seeing as Ryan's only a year older then me we tend to get on most of the time when he's not being a pain in the ass. "The boys are coming over tonight to practice", Ryan's been part of a band for a while now they haven't lifted of yet but personally I think there really good but I would never tell him that. " yeah thats fine, how about a lift to school" Thankfully Ryan agrees because Ireland gets so fucking cold in the winter and if I had to walk I think my fingers would fall off.I make Ryan and myself a brew and we quickly catch up in the kitchen. I through on one of Ryan's coats that's laying in the hallway, it falls to about my lower thigh making it look like I'm not wearing a skirt.
When I arrive at school I hug Ryan and thank him for the lift. I head to my locker, I don't have many friends in school seeing as I have a close friend group but there mostly a year older so they graduated last year. Thankfully I have the close friendship of Haley green to get me through school. We are in the same friend group and she's always up for the party. I get to my locker and Hailey is already sitting in front of it with her head tilted back resting on the cold metal, "are you alright there babes" I ask seeing as she looks likes she's been hit by a bus. " do I really look that shit?" She questions. She spends the walk to first period ( maths) talking about the crazy night out she had.
Haley talks about how she is incredibly hungover but if the school finds out and they tell her parents she's screwed. Basically her brother who's in his thirties had a house party and she wasn't meant to know because she was meant to stay at mine last night, but when Ryan had the boys around for like the tenth night in a row Haley couldn't stand them blaring music till the AM's so she got a taxi home. Her brother ended up letting her hang with them in exchange for her not telling there parents who are away in Paris for there anniversary know . Long story short she got pissed and now has a cute little hangover.
When we arrive at maths we take our seats. Haley was moved to the front very early in the year for talking but thankfully I was left down the back. My parents have told the school about my anxiety, they have just asked that teachers don't randomly call on me. All of a sudden I hear mr Morton say " Leah what's the answer for 2: ii)" my breath catches in the back of my throat, I feel eyes on me, my hands slightly tremble- " em I think I well got 7". Correct... I got it correct which usually doesn't happen. I let out a sigh of relief as the class continues.
Somehow we both make it through all 9 periods ( totally didn't skip french by hiding in the bathroom). Haley and I start to walk back to my gaff, I dig my hand into the pocket of Ryan's coat finding a cigarette and lighter. I put the cig to my mouth and light it carefully. We share the cig as we arrive to my house. I rummage through my bag until I find the single key at the bottom. I struggle to unlock the door until I see a tall figure on the other side of the door laughing at me. He unlocks it with ease and lets us in. " thanks Bobby!" I say genuinely, Robert Keating was one of Ryan's friends, he's the base player for there band. The three of us walk into the sitting room where the band has all there equipment out but they don't seem to be practicing. Elijah has his legs hanging of the side of a chair with his head hanging of the other side taking a long draw from a blunt. Josh and Ryan are hysterically laughing about something on the coach. Rob quickly shushes them and heads to the kitchen." Would either of you girls like a drink?" rob asks." yes please!" I say In need of some alcohol after a long day. " how about you Haley". She groans "no thanks, I'll gladly take some painkillers tho if you have some". Rob enters the room and tosses a small container of Tylenol to Haley and passes me a can of Guinness. He sits beside josh on the couch. Haley leans against a wall and takes a few of the pills. I sit on the floor in-front of the coach and rest my head back.
"Bad day?" Ryan asks kindly, tears slightly form in my eyes but I blink them back, I don't think anyone noticed. " em fine i guess, we had bad classes and Mr Morton called on me again". "What a bollocks" I hear rob mutter under his breath. "I'll get mum to call the school again" Ryan says while rubbing my back. I smile and take my drink outside for some fresh air.
A few minutes later I see a figure standing in the doorway, I turn around to see the friendly face of josh Jenkinson. Josh is the guitarist of the band, to be fair from the start he seemed like the only one who could actually play his instrument. He pulls up a chair and sits beside me. "School can be shit, honestly I know how bad it can be, graduating was the best thing ever" josh says comfortingly. " thanks josh it means a lot! I guess with everyone apart from Haley and I graduating last year it kinda just feels like we've been left behind". Josh talks about how he understands how we feel and says that if we ever need someone to talk to he's always there. " wait josh?". "Yup". "What where you and ryan giggling about?". Josh glances back inside at the boys and Haley in the sitting room, " I would get in trouble if I told you" he winks at me and walks back inside".
