Her Life

Chapter 3: The New School

      Last night, like I thought it would be, was a sleepless night. 

     "Sky. It's time to wake up", my mom said as she was slowly opening the door to my dark bedroom, but as she saw me already pulling my hair up in a pony tail she quickly said,"Oh, you're already awake. How long have you been awake?"

      "Mom, I've been awake long enough to start and finish getting ready," I said in a being smart kind of way.

      "Well okay early smart bird," she said trying not to punish me for being smart to her on the first day of school when she already has enough on her mind with trying to figure out who will watch Carly while her and my dad work today. Guess that's one of the many prices you have to pay when you move to a completely different state. Oh well

        Yesterday I didn't pay much attention to the rest of the house due to my mom telling me what room was mine and me heading directly to it without hesitation, but now that I am seeing the rest of the house clearly without any distractions or being determined to get to a different room it's actually kind of nice. This change is going to make me change my opinion on everything isn't it? 

        My dad said that there is no busing for this school and that means getting a ride from my so called "hipster" mom every morning. 

        The car ride was pretty interesting because mom and I destroyed the speakers in the car by playing our favorite songs by 21 Pilots.

       "I ponder of something great," I casually sang, and then my mom came back with the second verse, but in the weirdest way.

       "My lungs will fill and then deflate," my mom screamed into her hand like it was a microphone. My mom has the maturity of a 16 year old and that's what makes her so cool; she's been a teen before and can understand what I am going through and the fun that I want to have as I continue to be a teen. Hanging out with my mom is always fun because she always knows how to make me laugh even when I don't want to. She thinks that it's better to be optimistic most of the time, she says that it will get you further in life and make you always think positive thoughts.

     My mom and I have bonded more and more ever since I asked my step-dad to adopt me because my biological dad was never really there for me and it's been really tough. She thinks that it's pretty cool that I am asking this of my step-dad because a girl should always have a dad in her life and it's just a really big milestone for the entire family. 

     My biological dad didn't and still doesn't like the idea of me being adopted, and he isn't going to allow me to get adopted. It's been really tough attempting to get him to let me be adopted, but every hour and fight that I have to put up with or get myself into will be worth it eventually. Sometimes I wish he wasn't even in my life, but him being in my life is unavoidable and well yeah we all know how that works.

     As mom and I pull into the school parking lot we get a lot of weird glares because of the music be blasted through her Chevy Traverse's speakers. 

    "They're looking at us weird Sky," she said as we were stuck waiting for about 20 students to cross in front of us.

    "The weird glares that we are getting right now are worth it. We can't help that we like a certain band and if people have a problem with us having fun then they can take it up with me," I said somewhat confidently because I was proud that my mom and I were able to have a good time even though we are going through times of trouble.

    Walking into the school was weird. I thought that I would be able to walk in without anyone noticing me, but sometimes a human being is wrong and right now while walking in is one of those times. As I walked in almost everyone who was in the hall looked at me. Oh wait they weren't looking at me, they were looking at the most "popular" girl in school. She was tall with brown hair and was wearing a cheer-leading uniform with a guy wearing a football jersey almost sewn to her side. God I hate high school, and I still have 2 more years of it, kill me now.

   First period was nothing interesting, just band. I'm glad that I didn't have to stand up in front of the class and let everyone know a little bit about me like I expected, but give it time and I'll eventually have to do that. 

   Second period was Language Arts, which is pretty interesting because the teacher is pretty laid back and if you look around her room you can tell that her and I have a lot in common. From third period on was boring and almost flew by. Lunch, I will say was interesting because I actually got invited to sit with some people who thought I looked cool. Not used to compliments, but a few here and there are acceptable.

   The school day ended a lot faster than I thought it would and I'm so glad that it's over now. 

   I decided to walk home from school to get some fresh hair and be able to think in peace, but the thinking thing didn't really go too well because I was rudely interrupted by the girl that I saw first thing this morning screaming something at me as she drove passed me with her boyfriend sitting in the passenger side of her car.

  "Hey loser! Being all lonely really sucks right? Hahahaha such a whore."

   I didn't say anything verbally, but I did flip her off because she really deserved it and she drove off faster than Paul Walker did during one of his races in Fast and Furious. 

  First day of school complete and I have found out that the people I go to school with are really screwed up. They are complete asses. Oh lord save me from this hell.
