Your POV

As I woke up, the first feeling that hit me was regret. Regret, because my nose was running, my head was pounding like crazy and my throat was hurting like hell.

Sometimes I hate myself so much.

I still was in bed, trying to figure out, what I was going to do, if I was going to go to school today, as I heard my mom trample up the stairs. Probably with a bucket of dirty dish water in her hands.

I heard her giggle evilly, as she opened the door to my room and then immediately frowning as she saw that I was already awake. She groaned.

"Do you know, how much this fucking bucket weighs?! I had to carry it all the way up, you stupid shit."

I stared at her and cocked my eyebrow, still laying in bed. "Well, nobody asks you to dump a bucket over my head every fucking morning. Besides, I don't think I'm going to school today."

Mom opened my window and dumped the water in the neighbor's pool, that was right beneath my second window, that wasn't over my bed. Ignoring the complaints of our creepy neighbor, she shut the window and turned to me with an angry glare.

"What do you mean, you're not going?! Are you ditching school, you little shit?" Her eyes narrowed as she continued glaring at me, still with the bucket leaning against her right hip. She wiped her left hand on her permanently stained, red apron, that made her look like she was always busy in the kitchen. Which she never was.

"Mommy, I'm reaaaaaaally sick, and my head hurts so much! Pleaseu can I stay at home today?", I imitated her voice mockingly, "and don't swear so much, we aren't in Busan anymore!"

I giggled and she looked at me, like she hated me so much that moment and shook her head vigorously.

"Uh-uh. No way. You're going. And if you bullshit me again, you little poop, I'm gonna cook for you all week long. And you know, we both hate that. See that's what you get, for being stupid so early in the morning." I groaned in desperation and her lips formed a smug smirk as she exited the room, not without kicking my backpack.

I finally got out of bed and looked in the mirror, immediately jumping at my own reflection. Scared myself a little there.

I looked like a ghost, skin white and red at the same time, like a disgusting mix of ketchup and mayonnaise. I hate Mayonnaise.

Groaning again at the dizziness I put on some makeup to cover up the ugliness, which didn't help at all. I didn't even breathe as I could literally feel my nose stuffing as I threw ten packets of tissues in my backpack.

I got ready for school, brushed my teeth and let my hair fall open, so that my face wasn't so visible. A bad hair day is better than looking like a blanket.

Packing an apple in my school bag, I approached the bus, whilst sneezing and coughing and slumped on my seat. Regretting life and pitying myself, I slowly fell asleep on the bus.

A little tap on my shoulder woke me up and I gasped in shock, which led to another painful cough fit. With a red face and puffy eyes I turned around to see who dared to interrupt my beauty sleep and saw a very cute guy with a boxish smile on his face.

Wow. Great first impression of me as always.

I groaned mentally and plastered a smile on my flushing face and he held out a cough drop for me. I looked up to him, his smile growing wider as he winked at me. This guy was quite weird. Which was great. I was weird too.

"YAH! I'M V!", I jumped up and hit my head on the bus deck at his sudden outburst and my head started pounding again. What the actual hell?! The weird alien just continued grinning at me while I rubbed my head in pain and glared at him.
