Mom woke up with a headache this morning. Chris attempted to teach her lesson and scream that numerous things like that he was hungry or weird phrases from outside her bedroom.
She just groaned as she lay in bed and he laughed. She doesn't have any appointments today and Chris and I don't have school. Dad still has to work, mentally ill people still have to be treated despite the fact that its a public holiday.Dad even had to go to the hospital yesterday for a few therapy sessions.
Tonight is the Rocky Horror Picture Show. We're having a run through at lunch today, Chris is also joining.
For two minutes , I attempted to practice Toucha-Toucha- Touch Me but Mom heard me from her bedroom and told me to shut up.
So now it is 10 AM and I've just arranged to meet Kayden at his house to rehearse Dammit Janet.
As I cross to the opposite road of my house, I begin to think of Celeste and how she's coming tonight with Nate. I also wonder what's wrong with with her, mentally. I wish I could talk to an adult about my concerns of her. I have a formed speech in my head of what I would say to that one adult:"Hello Adult Figure Who I Look Up To,
I think my teacher has a mental disorder and has been living with it for a long time. I also think that she's not taking her medication and is about to have a nervous breakdown because I heard her talking to her husband and he kept telling her that he was concerned about her. He also said something about his family not liking her for a specific reason , so I think she's either mentally or physically sick".
But I wouldn't do that. I could be completely wrong, paranoid, maybe I'm the one going insane.
Yes, I know I'm already insane but I mean the more serious insane, like I eat people and make myself bleed because seeing blood makes me excited. I'm honestly worried about Celeste, it's strange how concerned I am. I'm tempted to pull Nate over tonight after the show and ask him:
'What is wrong with your wife"?
For starters, for the three days I was at school this week, we didn't do any work in English because Celeste insisted that we draw a poster of our favourite book. Probably the most easy task a Advanced English class could recieve.
As I drew the cover for Perks of Being a Wallflower, I constently looked up at Celeste to see what she was doing. She was writing in a diary. I honestly don't know if she was writing, you couldn't see properly from my point of view. She could've been drawing or colouring in.
Should I tell Nate that I'm worried? Should I tell her that whatever is wrong with her is noticeable?
Should I tell my parents?
Wait, what am I thinking? I'm being paranoid.As soon as I arrive in Kayden's room , I can see he feels and looks awkward.
I'll be honest, I'm starting to think that I like Kayden more than a friend. I like the way he smiles and how kind he is, I also like that he's quiet. I don't need a guy with a hyperactive personality. I can't get the memory of the first kiss out of my head, it just remains there with all the other recent memories. We don't kiss like we did last week. We now do short kisses, our lips hardly touch.
I think I really like Kayden, but does he like me back? Maybe he's been all awkward now because he's scared I'll kiss him like that again. Maybe he's scared he's going to be close to my face again, the face he maybe doesn't like.
What if he's using me as a friend? What if he's trying to get Violet or Winona? I honestly think that my best friends are more approachable. They both have their doubts about themselves being teenagers, but I think I have the most doubts, especially about my curvy body, thick hair (which I adore) and dark,olive skin.
Am I loser of the group? I don't want there to be a loser in our group, I think we're all amazing people.
But am I the least amazing?
'How was your Thanksgiving"? I ask, breaking the silence.
"It was good". Kayden replies.
"Was it just you, your Mom and brother"?
"Yeah, my mom's family lives so far away, we went small this year".
"I guess you have lots of turkey left over"?
"We do, it'll be Harry and I's school lunch for the next week or so! Just depends how long the fridge can keep it fresh for".
A moment passes by.
"How was yours"? Kayden asks.
"A little bit of a disaster".
"How come"?
"I'll simplify it for you: My Mom left my Dad, my brother and I in charge of cooking the turkey this year as she had to run a urgent errand . It concluded with the smoke alarm going off , the turkey burning, my mom panicking and getting drunk whilst my Dad cooked another turkey".
"Out of interest, was it entertaining"?
"It was like watching this show my Mom watches, Shameless".
"I heard that it's one of the most depressing shows on TV".
"Well, I don't watch it as I'm too young. My Mom has just told me it's about poor, dysfunctional family that become part of the most bizarre scenarios".
"What sort of scenarios"?
"She refused to tell me as she thought I would go into a state of depression, apparently it's that terrible".
"Oh".
"My mom actually watches it to study the behavioral patterns of the dysfunctional characters".
"That's interesting".
I begin to search for Dammit Janet on my phone.
"Let's also go over Over the Frankenstein Palace, Super Heros and Rose Tint My World". I decide.
"Okay, let's begin".
