~ you can skip until the last period scene or the bump in the hallway scene, changed things up there.

"Fuck! Are you—" I groaned in annoyance as I looked at the time on my phone, "Ma, I overslept!" I yelled out as I ran to my bathroom.

I slept right through the 7 alarms that I had set up the previous night before I fell asleep.

Didn't even have any time to lay down my edges...

The only thing I was missing was breakfast. But judging by the time, I didn't have any time for that either.

It was 6:17am and I had to make it to school by 7:05am. I live about 15 minutes from the school, plus to make up for breakfast I'll have to stop and grab something from 7/11 on the way.

I was panicking like crazy. It was my first day of high school ever!

Even though I'm a junior, but no way in hell am I going to be late!

That'll make things awkward...

I shook my mom awake as her eyes fluttered open shining reddish. She unwrapped her arms from my sleeping father.

"...mmm, what do you want?" She asked, stretching as she got up.

"I overslept, and I don't know my bus number." I said quickly glancing at the time and back at her.

My mom took a deep breath and got up grabbing her coat as if she was prepared for this to happen.

"Next time, I'm not driving you. You're in high school now, okay? You'll have to be a lot more responsible, you hear me?" She stated as we were walking to her car.

"Of course, mom." I agreed as I got in the passengers seat.

"In the morning, I am tired and I need my sleep, okay?" She continues as we pulled out of our driveway.

"Yes, mom." I agreed once again. I then plugged the aux cord into my phone and played the song 1Night by Lil Yachty the extended version.

This song has been stuck in my head since it very first came out. I dedicated this song to every bitch I'm about to fuck with at this new school. So, I started singing along to it causing my mom to laugh.

Me and my mom's relationship is honestly the best. So, is my Dad's but I know he's going to be a bit busy from now on. The only flaw you could possibly find in me and my mom's relationship is my sexual orientation.

She just hasn't accepted it, yet. My dad was the first person I've told and he accepted it right off the bat. He really wasn't one to judge, but my mom on the other hand is a bit more stubborn and on the religious side. I don't blame her, she'll come around sooner or later.

My mom pulled into the parent pick up & drop off and there were a bunch of other cars.

I looked at the time and it was 6:57am. We made it just in time.
