I awoke with a pounding in my head and my ears ringing. I sat up in my bed and searched for my phone. '7:20.' Perfect. I stagger to the bathroom. The cold green tiles shock my toes as I enter. I shut the door and lock it behind me. Then, looking in the mirror, take my hair out of the messy pony tail that I had put it in the night before. As my hair fell to my shoulders there was instant relief on my throbbing head. I turned on the shower, undressed myself, and stepped inside.
After my shower I threw on some light grey, low rise, ripped skinny jeans and a black hoodie. Leaving my hair down, I went to go put on my high tops. Everyone was still asleep so I quietly snuck into my moms room and grabbed her black eyeliner. I applied it heavily in the bathroom mirror. I don't really have a reason for my sudden change in heart towards makeup, I just feel... Dark today. I threw the eyeliner into the basket of makeup on the side of the sink and ran out the door hoping my mom wouldn't notice it magically changed its place.
As I'm walking I flicked through my music, throwing in my headphones. I keep changing it until a heavy metal song comes on. I turn it up all the way and put my phone into the front pocket of my hoodie. I lock my eyes forward, showing no emotion.
The lyrics screamed in my ear;
"As I scream, aim, and fire.
There's always death that will bring you higher."
Where my music was up so loud, I didn't realize that Mace was now walking beside me. As I caught him in my peripheral vision I jumped and pulled out my headphones in one clean swipe.
"Jesus! You scared me!" I screamed.

*moments before*
As I turn onto the main road to school I recognize Julie's perfect, long, wavy hair. Jesus Christ, I can hear her music from here. I thought about running up behind her and hugging her from behind but then I realized that would startle her and she'll probably kick my ass. So I just ran up and started walking beside her. After a few moments of silence I sped up, almost passing her. Then she noticed.
"Jesus!" She screamed. "You scared me!" I laughed and kept walking. She smacks my arm viciously.
"Ayee!" I yell beginning to rub my arm. She giggles at my reaction. God, isn't she adorable?
Once we reach school we part ways... Sadly. I watch as Julie walks into the front door and I begin to make my way around back to met some friends. As I turn around my eyes met a familiar face in the distance. I'm instantly filled with rage.
