Once a Reject

Jill, Chris, Vick and I were all sat around the table. Mom hasn't come home yet so Jill cooked dinner for us.

"Jill. How could you possibly say that Captain America is better than Batman. That doesn't even make any fucking sense." Chris cried. I silently ate while watching them banter. This has been an ongoing battle between the two since they were in preschool.

"Captain America is literal goals. Batman is nothing without his mask and cape!" I heard and large gasp from Chris and more yelling.

"Could you shut up! We all know that Superman is better than the both of them." They both turned their heads to me. Jill looked absolutely murderess.

"The fuck did you just say?" I sheepishly smiled and looked back down at my pasta.

"Nothing." I whimpered. Jill kept a glare even though this fight has been declared postponed.

"Marx. What was up with you in class today?" Chris asked. I groaned hoping he wouldn't have brought that up.

"Would you get off my back maybe? Don't you have taxes to be paying?" I stabbed a rigatoni with my fork and stuck it in my mouth.

"I do have taxes to be paying, but that's not what we are talking about. You've got to pull yourself together. I talked to your other teachers. You are practically failing!" I fought the need to roll my eyes.

"Sorry mom, I can't please everyone."

"But, you don't even try to please anyone." the table fell silent. I don't understand, I'm a human being. One person. Why can't I just do what I want. That'd make my life easier. I'll graduate, move out and far away from here. Nothing was holding me back. Except, Garret. No! Wait, no. he isn't holding me back from shit. I don't even like him. I... lust him. Yeah that's it.

When finished with my bowl I sat it in the sink. I quickly zoidberg my way past my brother and into to my room. Flopping onto my bed I lied flat on my stomach. Pulling my laptop close to me I skimmed through the freshly updated page of tweets. I was kinda Twitter famous. Nothing huge, but Nash Grier might've retweeted me and so did all of his fans.
@Realproblems- is anyone else feeling chipotle?

I tweeted. A bunch of people instantly started commenting and RTing.

@Realproblems- Albert Einstein once said "you'll always be a bitch until you're told you are one, then your just hoe"

I watched as yet again people RTed and what not. I instantly got bored and decided to watch the last episode of Game of Thrones.
.....
My alarm sounded the moment I woke up. I heard noises downstairs and assumed it was mother, who had come home in the late hours. Pushing up from the bed I go to the bathroom across the hall to get ready for school. I'm brushing my teeth when I over hear my mom on the phone.

"...God Grace, it's already bad enough he's gay, now he's failing!" I felt my heart sink when I heard, knowing it was about me.

"..what do you mean 'accept him'? He barley accepts himself. It's probably some phase he's going through. mhmm.., yeah, okay. Bye." I heard the front door slam close and I blinked tears back.

Maybe I should I skip.

I looked over to the ihome in the bathroom and the time blinked 6:57. I know Vick left already for morning practice and Jill probably left, because she loathes my mother and my brother, is probably at school.

Wait a minute, did he or did he not say he was going to be in today? I wasn't listening yesterday, but I think he said that.

Well isn't it my lucky day.

Putting my toothbrush down I sprinted down the stairs to the kitchen and opens my secret stash of junkies. Grabbing a can of soda I went upstairs to start my day of Game Of Thrones and Silence.

•I agree with Jill, Captain America is better than all of them.

•As you can see, Marx's mom is a jerk and you'll see it gets worse.

Stay classy, stay sassy and don't be a bitch.
