The Escalated Relationship

✨3

I loudly yawn.

"Ahhhh!" I rub my eyes and get up out of bed. I stare at the clock, trying to see what it says through all the crust in my eyes. "Forget it." I say aggravatedly. I walk like a zombie to my bathroom, eyes closed, and try to locate the knob to turn on the faucet. 'Right is cold, left is hot..' I twist the left knob and gather water in my hands. I throw the water at my face like the acne commercials and laugh at the thought of it.

I rub the water down my face and use the towel next to the sink to dry my face off. I proceed with my morning routine and take a shower. 10 minutes go by and I'm done with my album and showering. I grab my towel and quickly dry off. Slapping lotion on each body part that I dry and putting deodorant on. Time to get dressed! But I fall as I walk out of the bathroom. I slip on the water and fall hard on my back. "Fuck!" I scrunch my face up at the pain.

I rub my back and get up slowly. I never will be and never had been late for school so I will not let pain stand in my way for perfect attendance! I take baby steps to get my uniform out of my dresser and change. I take my homework from off my dresser and put it in my bag. I look at the clock and it's 8:56!

"Damnit!!" I'm suppose to be at school at 9:05 and it takes me 15 minutes to be there. 'I'll skip breakfast!' I run downstairs like I'm Flash. I run out the door without saying goodbye to my sleeping dad. Forget about the bus, forget about my dad's car, I'm running as fast as my legs can take me!

I stop in front of my school, huffing and puffing like I'm another version of the big bad wolf while resting my hands on my knees. I slowly rise and jog breathlessly inside the school. Must be before school cause everyone is lurking around the building. Honestly, I didn't wanna come to school today because of what happened yesterday. What if she shared that video with everyone?! Even worse, my boyfriend?! No no no, other way around, well.. they're both worse!

I walk inside the building, I take a deep breath and walk into the cafeteria. Now, all eyes on me.
