Walking through my front door after one hell of a school day was alright, but the fact that I had the house all to myself, Since Ollie, Tadgh and Sean got picked up from school by Nanny Murphy, Joey and Mam were at work and my father kept a stool warm at the bookies most evenings, was like a reward for the shitty day I have had.
I spent the next hour doing mine and Shannon's chores, which was basically just laundry but I washed the dishes, prepared dinner and cleaned the kitchen and the living room.
Then by the time I was done, I ran upstairs, changed into a hoodie and a pair of sweatpants then laid down on my bed getting ready to close my eyes, but I heard my phone ringing from my school bag all the way downstairs.
The fact that it might have been Patrick made me get out of bed and hurry downstairs. I managed to answer his call before my phone stopped ringing.
"Hey." I answer, holding the phone up to my ear and heading back upstairs.
"Hey, How did today go?"
Once in my bedroom with the door locked I begin telling him everything that happened from the moment I got to school, and had the talk with Principal Nyhan, Joey and my Mam first thing in the morning, Nicholas apologizing to me, but I didn't tell Patrick much that he said to me figured that was private, he didn't agree that I forgave him for what he did, but oh well.
I told him how Nicholas and Liam got into a fight, and when I went back to the principal's office, Joey beat up Grant, and then I had to tell him who Grant was, after that I told him that the outcome of this day was that the school board was going to have a meeting about Ciara being suspended for three weeks.
After Nicholas had forced Grant's phone out of his hand and given it to Nyhan, he saw the pictures and the video of me, but also found compromising pictures of other girls on his phone and at that Grant got sent home, and there's talk about him being expelled.
By the time I was done talking, we had been off the phone for almost fifteen minutes. Jesus, I talk a lot.
"Well that was my day." I laughed, "How was yours?"
"Boring compared to yours, the only interesting thing about today was that I passed my English test."
"Well that's good, I had one when I wasn't at school last week, so I have to take It tomorrow. I'm definitely not going to pass."
Patrick laughs, "I'm sure you'll do fine, what is it on?"
"I have no idea, literally haven't got the slightest clue, I'm completely fucked."
I hear Patrick snicker as a car door slams shut on his side of the phone, "I could always help you, you know."
"We go to different schools, Patrick, I doubt you would be much help."
"Honestly, that was just my excuse to come and see you." He says, as he must walk into somewhere because I hear a faint bell ringing sound. "Are you busy right now?"
