Wani Talk About It?

Second Times the Charm

I don't wanna go to school today.

Maybe I can just say I got the day off from getting assaulted yesterday.
Then again the school might call...

Uuugh.

The books I got are strewn around my laptop by my desk, getting up from my bed I wiped whatever sleep was still in my eyes before shutting off my phone alarm.

Yesterday was a damn bust.
I knew Dinofornia had a drastically different populace from Dusty County but this is abit much.

Still I drag myself out of bed, usually I'd skip breakfast or try to get some before classes at the cafeteria.

But time spent anywhere else but there sounds much better.

I've done as much reading as I could but alot of it was merely factoids.

Still though, terrifying thought it is that Humanities only safe Havens were in the Colder Regions like where I hailed from as the Dinosaurs took over Pangea.

And the fact they're just as smart as Humans just stronger and faster.
And with knives attached to their heads and Tails, or hammers in some cases.

Claws, fangs, and- just found this out- apparently ACID!?
A Kid I have Gym with, can just hock a loogie AND MELT THE FLOOR!?

To say I am abit overwhelmed is a damn understatement.

I had the alarm go off an hour early so I can enjoy the peace & quiet.
It's only a 25 minute walk to school so if I leave here in 30 Minutes I'll still have five minutes to spare.

It only just now donned on me I only know where Gym is.
Maybe I should've taken that Ben characters offer, I could really use a road map.

I wonder if Schools do Kiosks yet

As I am in the middle of mulling over my situation with a solitary bowl of cereal, I see my Ma walk in.

Sheesh, she looks tired as ever.
Dusty blonde like myself all disheveled with a 90s horror movie shirt on, and looks like she woke up stressed.
Man, same.

" murnin' bub. "
" Mornin' Ma. "

" How was school yesterday? "
" It was-
I survived. "

She smiled slightly at that as she went to grab some eggs to make herself an omlette.

" That's good atleast.
Have to be in at the office today to get fully set up with the manager here.
Yesterday I had to go through Emails upon emails due to the office change.

Dumb asses can't keep their files saved for shit. "

She muttered before looking over.
" need me to drop you off at school ? "

" Nah, I'm good, I'm pretty fast so I should get there on time. "
" Alright, just makin' sure.
Have fun at school bubba. "

She continued her preparation as I cleaned out my bowl, putting it on the drying rack and bid her farewell.

...
I left ten minutes earlier than intended.

But
Man.

She'd be dissapointed as Hell if I played hookie now after it hadn't been a week.
And she just looks stressed out already...

Right.
Remember dumbass, just...
Just get through this year, and find yourself a good job to help support her.

Phew.
Okay.

Dino's may be scary as hell, but if research shows, they're human like me...
In some capacity.

With maybe the exception of Knives for Tails the Terror: Mia.
