Happiness?

Denial

I wake up sprawled across my bed ,legs spread out like a starfish. You know one of those moments when you have brief amnesia so you're like, what even happened yesterday? Yep I had one of those. So I got up wiped my face then went downstairs and went for my breakfast. It took me until halfway through my breakfast until I suddenly realised what had happened. It was like a punch in the stomach or a smack in the face. I felt so alone and confused and well...sick. Obviously to sick to go to school. So I waited for my mum to walk in then I turned the sick act on. BTW: the sick act is the act you put on to make you seen ultra sick. (possibly near death if necessary.) Usually my mum sees through it but today I'm actually quite sick so I hope it works. I crouch down in the corner of the room and hold my stomach then I rock backwards and forth as if I'm in deep pain. I put in all that effort of acting only for my mum to walk in take one look at me then say,

"Get up, You'll be late for school."

" But I'm sick" I pleaded giving her my very best puppy dog eyes. She stared at me deep in the eyes then threw her eyes back and laughed.

"Get your clothes on and get on out. And hurry." She says then leaves. I bang my head on the wall repeatedly then say curses under my breath which for some messed up reason was the exact moment my dad walked in.

"Good morning i take it, princess." he says casually. I turn my head and glare at him.

"Not really" my dad walks in then sits down.

"well I'm afraid I'm about to make it worse. I have meetings after work so you are going to have to go to your mother's school after school school and stay in her classroom until she is ready to go home."

"Dad!" I shrieked. There was no way i was about to stay in a cold lonely room for 2 hours with nothing to do.

" Sorry princess" Dad says apologetically. I storm out of the kitchen then charge upstairs. Why did everyone think it was okay to wreck my life? I never get a break, do I? I was in deep thought when my phone started ringing. I picked it up to hear my BFF Imogen screaming on the phone.

"Sierra, where are you. I'm waiting for you at the bus stop. The bus is coming soon."

"Wait what!" I screamed down the phone.

"Hurry up." Imogen shouted. After that it was all a blur but ill say this; I have never changed more quicker in my entire life. I threw on my uniform then ran outside taking a brush with me to comb in the bus. Luckily this was the first that went my way. I caught up with the bus just in time and i sat down and plopped myself down next to Imogen.

" Worst morning ever" I slumping down in the chair. Imogen giggled then added

"Bout to be the worst DAY ever." And she was not wrong. Today I had double maths,history,Re then French. It was like heaven was mad at me then tried to invest me with problems and issues. And to top it off I had to face a day off Blake putting his arm around Lacey and calling her things like "Bae" and "Girl". I was sitting next to one of my other friends Summer brown and we kept fake throwing up to put them off which was so much fun. Especially as if Summer wasn't here this moment would be so painful and gross. This experience made me see what a slimy, sick guy Blake is. You would not believe the amount of but-grabs and wandering hand moves that guy made. By the time I got out of school I was so tired and worn out I just wanted to collapse on my bed but then I realised I had to go to my mother's school. I gave a sigh of super frustration then I began my walk towards her school. To make matters worse it took 30 minutes to walk there so when I got there I was exhausted. When I found her classroom she was leaning over a student showing him how to do his work and failing miserably from the frustration on her face. I didn't want to get all involved in that so I sat down on a chair and read a book whiles eavesdropping on their conversation.

" OK, Tony look Just thread here then turn it inside out."

" Where and what way I don't get it."

"Well try and figure it out. I'm going to the office." My mum got up and headed to the door. Tony looked up and said,

"Maybe i could possibly work better if the pretty daughter of yours sat next to me." he said gesturing towards me. I looked up sharp then looked from him to my mum. My mum sighed then said,

"Sierra can please or he'll give me a headache." I gulped then said

"OK" and walked over. My mum walked out then left me with him.

" Take a seat" Tony said gesturing towards the seat. I sat down gingerly and crossed my legs.

" So what's a pretty girl like you doing here at this messed up school." he said. I smiled then looked at the floor.

" My mum works here." I replied.

" Well i haven't seen you here before and I get stuck behind nearly every day."

" Oh well my dad was working late so I had to come here."

" So i guess you had a tough day."

"Yep. You wouldn't know the half of it."

" Well from what i see you recently had a...um..let's see bad breakup."

" Kind of."

" Good guy or bad."

" Bad"

" So rich."

"Um..a bit."

" So is that your type." I paused then said,

" Sort of"

" So i wouldn't stand a chance then." I stopped and stroked my hair behind my ears.

" If what.."

" If i asked you out on a date." I looked at his face then looked down on the table. I had no idea what to say. I glanced up at his face again then looked at the floor. It would be hard to let down this one down. His face was handsome with chiselled features and brown skin. What any guy would call a dreamboat. His eyes were very dark brown and were staring right at me patiently waiting for me to answer. I smiled at him then said,

" I wouldn't say that" Tony smiled at me then said,

"OK, then maybe I'll take a shot."

" Why not."

" OK, Will you go out with me tomorrow to the moonlight bar." I stared at him and said,

" You know what. Why not? OK, I will."

" So tomorrow at 7" He said.

" Tomorrow at 7"
