Lovesick for Jai Courtney

Part #1: chapter one.

Today's Christmas Eve, Thursday to be precise of a specific day. I woke up at 9:07am, with the reason because I stayed up until 1:35am. Today, my wavy hair is combed, which is dyed sky blue. I forced myself to get dressed. I ended putting the clothes on the end on my bed on- black skinny jeans, black bra, and band tee.

I grudge myself off my bed, and off to the kitchen to be greeted by Mum, Dad, a 12 year old brother (Evan), and a 5 year old sister (Amy). I walk to the fridge to find leftover pizza, I choose to have that for my breakfast today.

I place the two pieces of pizza in the microwave, set the timer, and started it. "Morning Seth. Did you enjoy your sleep?" Mum greeted me with. Yes, I am a 15 year old teenage girl with a male dominant name of Seth. I never understand how my parents can be so happy.

I give her a disgusted look of satisfaction, but remembered that she can't see me behind the newspaper. "It was perfect" I reply with, eventually. "Sarcasm. I hear sarcasm. Watch that sarcasm, please, sweetie. And try to not trip over that bottom lip of yours either, please." She says too calm, so chirpy.

*Beep beep beep*
The microwave telling me that I should get my breakfast of champions out of it. I sit in my spot on the table, at the top opposite Dad's spot of the table.

Yep, it's definitely the normal Thursday breakfast. Mum eats while reading the daily newspaper, Dad reads a book while eating the bacon and eggs that Mum cooked him, Amy colours in another page of her princess colouring in book while eating her pancakes that Mum cooked her, then there's Evan, who is on his phone texting one of his dickful mates potentially about tits and sex, while eating his spaghetti. And then there's me, eating leftover pizza and drifting off into my thoughts.

Mum is an English teacher at my high school, while Dad's a mechanic. I don't know how they met, and I purely don't really care with the space to remember it.

I finish first, as normal. I wait for Evan to try and demand me to do the dishes even when it's really his turn. "Yo bitch, take my bowl and do the dishes for me, would you" when I'm already at the bench putting my own plate in the sink. "Do it yourself, fucktard". Evan and I tend to swear to each other no matter where we are.

"Kids, stop that childish behaviour right now. Your mother and I don't need Amy following this despicable behaviour" Dad interrupts before it gets too out of control. I walk off to my room to get ready to go to Declan's house. I think our parents had met, and decided that even though we're both females that we should have male dominant names.

Declan is the exact same age as me, except she's 3 days older than me. She lives down the street from me, there's three houses between ours. I pack my backpack and head back downstairs to farewell my family. Mum and Dad always know and always let me go to Declan's house. They don't really mind if I go to Declan's house at the most random time of any day.

"Okay, see you guys in a couple of hours." I say as I head out the door. Getting the normal "say hello to her and her parents for us" from the parents, and the "why do you get to go to places without permission?" from Evan - which I always ignore. I walk to hers, when arriving it's 10am exactly, and I stay at hers until 4pm to go back home.

Her family doesn't do a big celebration for Christmas. I take gifts for her and her parents from me, and we exchange gifts from one another. Yes, we're doing presents a day early, purely because I have breakfast with my Mum's side of the family, then dinner with my Dad's side of the family at my house.

Declan's parents are single children, and Declan is also a single child. Declan's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gry, give me a gift for Amy to unwrap tomorrow. I stash it in my bag.

4pm comes along too quick for my liking. I thank and farewell the Gry family, and head back to my own. I'll skip dinner tonight, because I don't eat dinner normally, and also because I've lost my appetite. I take a shower in my bathroom and head for bed to watch TV until about 10pm.
