"Today is the day, the day in which 11th grade second semester starts," I sighed, "Damn it."

I got out of bed to do my daily routine. I showered, brushed my teeth, and got dressed. I wore dark blue jeans, a Phinehas Till the End t-shirt, grey long sleeves under it, and my favorite dark green leather vest with a hoodie. I also had black hair and emerald green eyes. Then looked in the mirror, everything was in check. I stood up proud knowing I was pretty tall in my family. I was around 5' 11" and a half! I made being tall a big deal for me since my mom is literally a foot and a half, shorter. My dad was like 7 inches shorter.

I decide to watch TV for a bit since I had spare time. School starts at 8:00 AM sharp. I checked my S6 Active, it read 6:40. I usually wake up at 6 in the morning since my mom would wake my up at that time every since elementary! Then the house phone began to ring.

"Well looks like that her" I said as I walked to pick up the phone.

I answered, "He-"

"WAKE UP!!! WAKE UP!!! WAKE UP!!! WAKE UP!!! WAKE UP!!!" The phone screamed in my freaking ear!

"AHH! PORQUE ESTAS GRITANDO?!" I yelled.

"Oh good your awake. Get ready for school! Today's your first day of second semester!" My mom ordered.

"I'm already ready. And yeah I know that, I explained that already to the readers!" I said.

"The who? Never mind that. Have you checked the news for traffic yet?" My mom asked.

"Not yet but I will. Alright I'm ganna take my leave" I informed.

"Okay. Behave and earn those grades mi amor!" She said having confidence in me.

"I'll try. Alright bye mom. Be safe" I ordered.

"I will. Love you!" She said caring.

"Yeeaa" I sad as I hung up.

My mom usually worked all over the country. Sometimes she would have to go far from California, since that's where we live. Hell, she even went to Canada a few times! Two years ago, we had money struggles. My older brother would work his ass off overnight to get extra money to help pay my mom for the rent. One day, my mom meet a friend in which she can get payed four times of what her paycheck was each week! She took that offer but with a sacrifice of not being able to spend as much time with her sons. Overtime my mom had enough money that my older brother didn't have to pay at all. With that opportunity, he used that money on his truck. Sometimes my mom or brother would input money in my bank account. Not a lot though, but just enough to help me out paying for my apartment.

After watching the news for traffic situations, I decided to leave for school. I got my keys and everything I needed, then locked the door. I lived on the second floor of a three story apartment building. With one bedroom, one bathroom, living room, and a pool outside, is was a great place for me since I lived alone. It was also pretty peaceful here. No gunshots at night or crazy drivers trying to kill ya once in a while. Just a couple burachos here and there, other than that it was quite peaceful.

I went down to the garage floor to see some cars were still here, including mine. I unlocked my Subaru from a distance to see the headlight flicker. I walked to my BRZ and got in, putting on my seat belt. I then turned on the car to warm up the cars 2.0 liter Boxer engine. I got out my phone and connected it using Bluetooth to listen to my music. I shuffled played my music.

The the song Evening Grey and Morning Red played.

Wading in dark waters, a shovel at my side
Digging a grave for the depths to fill with defeat that I would hide...
