"Bye mum!!" I shout as I run Out the door. I see y best friend Katelyn waiting for me in the car out front.
"Hey Kat" I greet her.
"Hey Abi!" She says while greeting me with an awkward hug from the drivers seat. She just got her full license being a month younger than me and we take turns carpooling to school.
"I can't believe there are only a few weeks of junior year left!" I say.
"I know!" She squeals, "Then we will finally be seniors and off to college after that!"
I haven't given much thought to going to college/what one I want to go too, but there is still time. All I know if I want to be a fashion designer.
We arrive at school and Katelyn and I run off to see Charli and her boyfriend Jack by Charli's locker.
"Oh hey guys," Jack greets, "Have you seen Ryan? Or Mandy?"
"Nope," me and Katelyn reply.
"Hi guys. I saw Mandy earlier with Blake. No idea where Ryan is though!" Charli says.
"Hey are you guys coming to my party tomorrow?" Jack asks.
"Yep" we all reply.
The bells rings and we are all cut off.
"Well I guess we will see you guys at lunch?" I say.
"See you!" Charli shouts and blows a kiss. Me and Katelyn begin to walk to first period. Just before I enter my math class I feel a hand on my butt.
"Ahhhh!!" I shout in frustration. I turn around and see Darion. The schools biggest player. Grinning.
"You little piece of shit! Do not ever that again! Run off to one of your little whores ok!?" I shout at him. Not like me at all. Not the kind of Christian behaviour you would expect from one of Mike and Helena Marshal's kids. Nope.
"What was that about?" Katelyn asks as we take our seats.
"Just stupid Darion. I wish he would leave me alone. You if all people know I have no interest with him." I say.
I told Katelyn last week something I haven't even told me parents about. I don't even want to think about what my parents would do if they found out. Yikes.
"Miss Marshal!?" A voice asks snapping me out of my trance. I gulp when I realise it was Mrs Davis, my horrible math teacher. She hates me I swear!
"Do you have an answer to the question?" She snaps.
"I'm, the cow jumped over the moon?" I reply lamely. A few kids snickered but the teacher cut them off with we famous look of doom. They shut up.
"Not funny in The least. Miss Marshal my classroom is not a circus. One more outburst from you an you will receive an after school detention. Understood?" She asks, quite impolitely I might add.
"Yes miss," I reply weakly.
"Ok now, back to triangle ABC. If angle a is 40 degrees..." The teacher starts. I choose this moment to come out and stare at the clock. The time ticks by, slowly.
RIIINNNGGGGGGG!!!!!!
'Yes!' I think. Time to go!
And this was my school day in a nutshell. Confused about where I am and what I am meant to be doing.
Hanging out with Katelyn, Jack, Charli, Mandy an Ryan at lunch. Carpooling home with Katelyn. Sitting in my room watching Netflix.
*knock knock* My door opens. At least she had the courtesy to knock for once.
"Honey? Dinners ready," she says.
"Thanks mum. I'll be down in a minute."
"Kay sweetie. You look down, what is wrong?" She asks.
"Nothing! It's nothing really. I'm just a bit confused is all," I reply hastily.
"Ok honey. Just remember, your a child if God. Everything I happening to you or a reason, come down for dinner now," she replies.
If only she knew. If she knew what I was so confused about, she would have a much different approach, that's for sure.
I walk/stomp down the stairs for dinner, and while sitting and pretending to pray with my family, I add in a prayer of my own.
"Oh lord, why me?"
