The next day, I feel better than I have in months. Yet, I pray that my mom really meant what she said about figuring something out, because I still do not plan on returning to the school; when my alarm goes off at 7:40, I turn it off and fall back onto my pillows.
Around 12:30, I finally force myself out of bed. I don’t really know if this is weird or not, but I only wear an oversized t-shirt to bed. I just can’t do pants. So I grab a more appropriate pair of pajamas and head to the shower, fully planning on spending an entire day relaxing around the house, watching movies on FX and ignoring the impending doom of my future.
While I shower, however, I stress over what I can possibly do with my life. I think of transferring schools, but I know that every school in the city would remember my name from the newspapers a year ago, and I’d be just “that girl who..” all over again. That would be just as awful as my school right now, minus the stupid ex-boyfriend (are boys always so stupid, or is it just Matty) and the crazy skank.
All of a sudden, an idea pops into my head and I feel a sudden longing for uncomfortable pews and Christian rock music. And I know what to do.
I rush out of the shower, quickly get dressed in a pair of leggings, an oversized mans shirt, and pull on a pair of slippers. Then I speed down the stairs, yelling, “Mom, MOM, MOOOOM.” She turns around curiously in the kitchen chair to face me.
“Yes?”
I take a deep breath and collect myself, before looking her dead straight in the eye.
“England.”
