"Friday!" Screams Nyssa, she jumps around like popping candy, "Chelsea! It's Friday, get excited!" She grabs me by the shoulders and shakes me, like a coins going to pop out of my mouth. "Yay?" I say sarcastically, she stops, only for second though before she continues bouncing. Sometimes I don't like how positive you are I say in my head. "Two more subjects, thank god" I mumble,
"Actually..." Nyssa says menacingly, "I think, your my tutor."
"How do you know that?" I grumble, I am your tutor, but how did you figure out miss mystery I think in my head.
I really should've just not asked that question, because now she is going on about who knows what, I've tuned out, and I think so has the bell. "The bell is a bit late, did I miss something in care this morning?" I question looking around. The only people left were the often late and trying to be cool kid type people, "Oh....yeeeeaaaaaahhhhhh" she scrambles up as I realise what's happened. There was probably a warning that I wasn't listening to, and now....we're late, great just great. We stumble down the hallway as fast as we can and arrive, just as Miss King brings the rest of the class in, "let's never, not listen in care class again" I whisper, she nods in approval.

The next hour and a half or so we're the most boring hours so my life!  Math and Geography! Ugh! I'm glad I had other thoughts, like this arvo. I have to tutor Nyssa in English after school, let's hope she doesn't find the pantry. We have sugar, a lot of sugar. And this is my first "student of the year" to tutor, I have no idea what I'm doing, no one told me and now I'm getting stressed and that goes to this and really I don't think you want to hear the rest of it. No we don't Chelsea! Haha haha haaaaaaa, I'm weird....anyway this is my world, welcome, it's the weirdest world in town. Ok that doesn't make sense at all, this is what I live in thoughts, nothing else really just-
"Ring, Ring!"the bell goes off like there's no tomorrow and I have to block my ears just to keep my hearing, thank you whoever made this come, I pack up my things and take them to my locker, grab my poor excuse of a bag and head toward Nyssa's locker.

As I'm walking I spot Jason, my older brother and the most annoying thing in the world. I try to avoid him but he spots me and runs up to me, he gives me a nuckle to the head and continues walking, " Wait, Wait" I push my way through the crowd back to Jason, his whole group stares down at me. I'm tall for my age but this is a ridiculous feeling. "You better not bother me this arvo" I demand him and he tilts his head like a dog,
"What do you mean?" He asks sarcastically in his deep voice.
"Like you always do, annoy me, Nyssa's coming over for tutoring, stay out of it" I order grumpily,
"Going out with the crew, no bothering for you today"
"Thank you" and just to make him embarrassed I hug him and go on my way. I look back just in time to see him looking back at his group confused.

I continue looking around for a while for Nyssa but in her part of the hall way is where all the goth people hang out, and she has dark hair...
Yea I give up at life. Suddenly she bursts out of the door next to me and almost tackles me into some other people, it's funny though, cause they're the one that screamed. "Sorry" I say brushing my self off and looking at her for an apologetic look on her face. I stare at her for a long time. "Let's get going!" I say out of the blue and start walking towards my house.

We get home in the nick of time just to see the sun create long silhouettes of trees and marvellous red clouds that scorched the setting sky. I stared longingly at them and finally grabbed the key from under the plant pot and opened the door, no ones home. "Time to get our tutor shoes on" I say sarcastically and sit down at the table, Nyssa follows and dumps three books on the table. God save me now in think, and start, what is pretty much a lecture about English, with Nyssa patiently listening. It felt like hours and after it Nyssa mumbled. "What is it?" I ask impatiently,
"Oh, uhhh, how do I tell the difference between a simile and a metaphor again?"
"If it has a like or as in it.."
"What?" She questions
"A simile has like or as in it, a metaphor doesn't" she looks up at me with a puzzled look on her face. Anger starts to swell inside me and by the time I let it out, I think I would've looked like a sunburnt tomato. I snarled, "tutor is over!" I growled harshly and pointed toward the door, "you should go." She didn't ask why or anything, she just left.

What the hell Chelsea I asked myself what has gotten into you?
I looked out at the night sky and sighed. Fireflies buzzed in the forest and the faint coo of birds swooped into my ears. Fire flies buzzed around the flower pot at the front door. "Oh yes, that's right" I took the key from the door and put it back where it's meant to go. Immediately the fire flies disappeared and I closed the door.
