The help of the arm

Chapter 2

Of course she's doing this again. It's midnight and my sister still isn't home. I'm tired, but I can't sleep until I know she's safe. She's so fucking annoying. I stood up from the couch, and went to the fridge. My parents don't live with me and Eve. They work at the same company and they had to move to Thailand a while ago. It's a bit lonely by myself, but I don't really care. I like the quiet. I got water from the fridge and sat down at the dinner table. Hours pass and now it's 3 am. I've just been on my phone for three hours. I need to sleep soon. I was about to go to my room, when the front door opened. "Eve, why were you so late?" She fell down on her knees and started crying. "I'm so sorry Jason, I won't be late ever again." I knew something was up with her. I went on my knees and pushed her hair out of her eyes. "Eve, go to sleep. We'll talk tomorrow." She nodded and got up and went up the stairs to her room. I stood there confused on why she just burst crying. She needs to stop going to parties and getting drunk. This isn't good for her. I have to go to sleep though, I have two tests tomorrow. I walked up the stairs and went to sleep, hoping Eve wouldn't party ever again.

"You need to shut up Jessica!" My sister and I were in a giant argument. She's telling me that I'm the reason our parents died. I know it's mean of her to say that, but I don't care. She's always like this. "I need to shut up? Avery, that's what you need to do! You're always going on and on about how successful you're going to be in life, but the only thing you're going to do is follow me around! Like you always do!" What is she even saying? "Jessica, just shut the fuck up. I never want to talk to you ever again. I hope you realize that I'm the only person that you can actually trust, but you still decide to treat me like absolute shit." "I hate you Avery." She stared at me with a lot of hatred, so I knew she wasn't lying. We have arguments all the time, but it's never gone this far. I walked away from her and went to my room. I closed the door and sat against it. I then burst out crying, how could she do this to me? I checked my phone and saw it was 4 am. I really should sleep.

I was on my way to English class. I just finished my math test and I think it went good. I don't care about grades, but I'm naturally smart, so I don't have to care.  I went inside the class and sat down. I have another test in this class. Why doesn't school ever give us a break? We always have tests. After 40 minutes, I finished my test. I handed it to Mrs. Perez and read a book during the last 10 minutes of class. When class was over, it was lunch time, so I went where I always go. I went outside the school and walked around the city. I'm so tired of this world. It'd be better if everyone would just die, and the world would be destroyed. But I'm only 16, so I have a while until I die. I'm assuming I'll die of old age. But I really don't care.

I'm in my last class, and Mr. Smith is talking about the Vietnam war. I already know everything he's teaching. I like learning about history, it's the only thing I'm interested in. So I just analyze everyone else. There's people like Poppy Thompson, Jake Jones, Ian Carter, and some girl I don't know. She's pretty, I guess. She has brown hair and blue eyes. She's actually paying attention to Mr.Smith. She sits right beside me, so I don't know if she can see me staring at her. The desk in-front of her, there's a guy that has long black dreads. Oh I know him, that's Hayden Miller. Every girl likes him for some reason, he's cute, but not my type. In-front of me, there's a guy with blonde fluffy hair, why are all these guys in this class so muscular? Hayden is known as the most muscular guy, but right now, I think it's the guy in-front of me. He's wearing a long sleeve shirt, but that shirt is too tight on him. If he wore two sizes bigger, I wouldn't even have noticed his muscles. Wait, why am I even staring at his muscles? I don't even know how he looks like. I've never really payed attention to him. I then stare at the girl beside me again, she's really pretty actually. Should I talk to her? I don't think I should, every friend I have always backstabs me. That's why I barley have any friends, and I don't really care about the world. I was still thinking about talking to her, when the bell rang. She was quick, she immediately ran outside. So did the guy in-front of her, maybe they have plans together. The guy in-front of me took his time though. When almost everybody was gone, I stood up from my seat and walked out of the classroom. I was outside of the school, then I started walking home.
