Do Mind Maps Ever End?

Chapter 1

I hate mind maps. They start at one place and lead to a million others telling small bits of information but not the whole thing kinda like my life. Except my life leads in loads of directions and i havent taken any yet. My life goes in and out everyday with nothing exciting until one day. This one day changed my life forever. Mind maps were no longer my pet hate. My teachers were no longer my worst enemies. I better start at the very beginning. My life didnt even deserve a title it didnt even have a subject. Every day I would wake at 7:30 and drive in our crappy Mazda to Yellowpole.

Yes our school is called Yellowpole who ever came up with it should be made explain. I get out and meet my two best friends Vicky and Addie. These guys are the sunshine in Yellowpole. They make school not as bad as it is. We link arms and walk straight into hells deepest pit.

There Eddie and Gareth are at their usual immature antics, throwing bread and checking out girls asses through the window. The guys in our school dont even deserve the tital "guys" more like "monsters." They are all at that stage where they have stubbly hair growing on their top lips and their voices are so low they make the walls vibrate.

Classes role on. Lunch. Bell. Home. Homework. Dinner. Bed. Literally that was my life. Sorry if I just bored you to death but that was my reality. Until that day.

The clock flashed 7:30 just like it did every other morning. Mum was in the kitchen with my little worm of a brother Peter. Peter had chocolate spread all round his mouth. Mum was leafing through the post, sighing. I didnt even have to check, no post for me! I threw two slices of toast in the toaster and took a seat at the table.

"Wheres dad?" I asked. Usually he was sitting at the table too, reading the newspaper. This was strange nothing ever really changed in my usual morning routines.

Mum looked at me and fake smiled.

"Hes sick in bed hun." I gave her the look. Dad never got sick like ever.

I told her this.

"Do you not beleive me huh? Just get into the car." She said harshly.

"You dont need to speak to me that way!" I said, obviously irrated with her unneeded harshness.

"Im the adult here do not speak to me that way! Just get INTO THE CAR!" She shouted. I stared in disbelief.

"What way?" She pushed her chair put from the table and slammed her fist on the table. Peter was crying in his chair by now.

I just walked out to the

car, slinging my bag over my shoulder. We drove in silence. Peter was now gurgling in the back and drooling like a dog in the backseat.

At school I got out of the car and slammed the door.

"Love you." I heard her call out as this was our daily routine.

Why would I have said it back? She had been unreasonable.

Vicky and Addie met me and Addie was telling me about this new app or something I tried to listen and not think about Mum again. Well I tried.
