What I couldn't change

Its 7:30am!!!!!! I should've been at school by now!
I literally spring out of bed, not bothering to even make my bed. Remember when I said thirty minutes of shower time was my bare minimum? Well, let me correct myself : Six minutes of shower time is my bare minimum.

I have twenty-four minutes left and it takes ten minutes to get to school, leaving me with only fourteen minutes to finish up! Grabbing my school uniform and running down stairs,  im met with the most infuriated crocodile eyes...my mother's eyes.

"What have you been doing up there?, Have you even looked at the time lately?!"
No shit hey...
I hate it when she shouts at me, especially in the morning when I haven't even had coffee.

"You are so stupid! What nonsense is this? Caroline, you dont understand the pressure I have at work, im stressed and instead of you helping me, you just add on even more stress!"

"Im sorry mom, I set the alarm but I dont know what happe-"

"You are always sorry! Why are you still in your gown? Argh come on, youll change in the car"

She storms out of the frontdoor and I just follow silently with tears threatening to choke me but I know that if I cry, im most definitely going to be thrown out of the car. Getting into the backseat, I start changing while my mom eases the car out of the driveway and on to the road.

We arrive at school at 08:05am and I really wish I could've just stayed in bed instead.

"What are you waiting for?!" My mother's voice interrupts my thoughts
"Im sorry again mom"

I grabbed my bag and got out of the car as quickly as I could,  closing the car door softly and running to my first class.

I WILL NOT CRY, I WILL NOT CRY.
I WILL NEVER CRY.
THEY SHOULD NEVER SEE ME CRY.

I repeat the words in my head over and over again.
Grabbing my books from my locker, its noticable that everyone is in their classrooms.  Lessons have started already,  no thanks to my mom who wasted more time by shouting at me!

According to my timetable, maths is my first class, a double period first thing in the morning. One period is fourty-five minutes so two periods are ninety minutes...That means I have an hour and thirty minutes of maths so early in the morning aaaahhhhhh!!!!!

I eventually found my class after hours of searching.  Okay it was roughly five minutes but for a late student thats a lot! Making my way into class, I quickly sit on a chair that is right by the window and far away from the teacher's desk. I don't know what it is, but math teachers give me the creeps!

"So what is the late comer's name?" A voice calls out.
Startled, I look around the class to see if there was maybe another late comer other than me.

"Im talking to you miss, the one looking around...are you lost?" The class bursts out in laughter.  Some are laughing so hard they are on the verge of tears. I don't find this funny...but hey, the joke is on me right?

"Ma-ma my name is Caroline Sunders and sorry for being late maam, the traffic was hectic." Lies.

"The name is Mrs Wilson and im hoping that this is the first and the last time you will be arriving late in my class, are we clear?

"Crystal clear maam, im very sorry" Geez, is it my fault that there was traffic? Was I supposed to call Superman and kindly ask him to move the cars aside? You are starting to believe your own lie! Arggh whatever, traffic or evil alarm clocks, its not my fault.
