After the bell goes, I meet up with Charlie and we go to History class. History is probably my favourite subject, I think I find it more interesting than the rest.

"Shoot, I forgot to do the History homework." I say to Charlie as we sit down, I'm still a little mad at him but I don't like being completely alone in school. I feel like an even bigger loser.

"We literally had a whole class to do homework this morning, why didn't you do it?" He asks.

"I forgot all about it, Charlie!" I groan and our History teacher, Mrs Clark, comes into the room. My day couldn't get any better. That's sarcasm, I wish it would get better but I doubt it will. Especially because I have class with Natalie later.

I stand up, walking to her desk, if I tell her now maybe I'll get in less trouble. She puts her things down on her desk and looks up at me.

"Ah, Diana, is everything alright?" Mrs Clark asks while I play with the ring on my thumb.

"Um...I kind of forgot my homework, I've been really stressed with stuff." I tell her and she sighs, opening her laptop.

"What do you want me to do?" She questions and I shrug. She used to really like me, at one point, I might have even been considered her favourite student.

"I didn't want to wait for you to come around and then say it."

"You're a senior, you know better. Go to Mrs Daniels office, I've heard you've been getting in trouble a lot recently. Take it up with her." She tells me and I shut my hands before walking to my desk, getting my stuff.

"I'll see you in English." I say to Charlie and he furrows his eyebrows. I walk out of the classroom then walk towards Mrs Daniels office while fidgeting with my hands. I walk straight up to the door and knock. All of my teachers hate me.

"Come in." I hear her say, I open the door and walk inside before shutting it behind me.

"Diana, is there a problem?" She asks as I put my bag down by the chair in front of her desk, I take a seat before I shrug.

"Mrs Clark told me to come to you, I forgot to do my homework." I look down at my lap, I keep disappointing all of my teachers along with myself at this point. I used to always have my homework completed, I used to have more done than they expected.

"Diana, is something going on? I'm honestly sick of seeing you in here or seeing that you have detention."

"I know, I'm sorry—"

"I have no other choice but to give you detention...again. I would also like for you to speak with the councillor." She tells me and I sigh.

"It's just homework." I say back quietly, at least I'm actually showing up to class. Charlie suggested skipping class earlier but I didn't.

"Yes, which teachers have assigned for you to do. You've had no problems with homework or tests before this year. Clearly something is going on."

"Or maybe I'm just tired."

"Go to bed earlier then." She raises her voice.

"I'm not that kind of tired. I'm sure half of the people in this school are, there is so much stress put on us for things that are useless. Yeah, I've gotten good grades throughout school...but I give up trying to please everyone because I just can't anymore. Sure, I'll take the detention but it's not teaching me anything. Seriously, I have had detention almost every week now and it's not teaching me anything." I stand up, picking up my bag.

"I don't know where you got this attitude from but drop it! I am sick of teachers coming to me about you and your lack of effort this year!" She shouts at me and I huff.
