falling for the Badboy

chapter six

Ahh! I hate that sound, whatever it is, it's disturbing and irritating.

That sounds like the description of an alarm.

Alarm! Fuck it's my alarm.

Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!

I immediately wake up.

7 missed alarms? Oh my Goodness.

Gosh I only have an hour till school begins. I'm gonna be late on my first day. I'm so embarrassed.

I can do this.

Three songs to shower, two songs to dress up, two songs to dry and handle my hair, skipping breakfast and the rest of the time will be used to drive to school.

Good plan.

I need five minutes for grams ...... I know I only have an hour. It'll be good enough.

I take my shower in exactly 3 songs and exactly two songs to dress up except it took up to four songs to dry and get my hair together in one okay-looking piece.

Why do I have to be such a sleepy head.

I also made sure I called grams and told her about changing schools, I skipped parts like I was forced to and mom and I had an argument about it.

It's for the best.

I don't want grams worrying about my mental health when what she should actually be worrying about is why I'm such a sleepy head.

I go downstairs once I know for sure I haven't forgotten anything.

Surprise surprise, my furious looking mum is waiting for me.

"Morning mum."

"Victoria! You're late, it's your first day and you're late. Now I have to drop you off and make up some silly excuses for your behaviour. Can't I get one good morning?"

"I'm good thanks and how are you mum?"

"When will you ever take things serious huh?"

"Maybe tomorrow, now I think we should get going because time has no Catherine-drama-time reserved."

"You piss me off you know that?"

"Precisely. "

Of course I piss her the fuck off and I love it. She does the same to me so it's only fair I do as done upon me.

The golden rule.

My uniform fits almost perfectly, well if it weren't for mum making the skirt inches shorter, I'd have been delighted.

It's a navy blue pleated skirt, white button down shirt, a navy blue neck tie with red diagonal stripes, a jacket matching the colour of the skirt with the school's logo on the right upper pocket and navy blue socks with 2 red stripes. I wore my mary Janes to touch it up.

I find it boring and can't wait to ask the principal if I can wear pants instead.

"Okay we're here, please keep your mouth shut while I talk to your principal, okay?"

"My pleasure. "

We get out of mom's car and go straight to the principal's office.

Mum gave some stupid excuses about her car breaking down and shit. That car looks brand new, it's a lame excuse unless the principal is damn. I know for sure that I could come up with a better one.

Mum leaves the office after she's done and assured that I'm not in trouble-- so loving.

"Hello miss Edwards, it's good to finally meet you after all I've heard about you."
What do I say? My pleasure?
