Moon & Stars

Supernova

•Ivy•

I hear ringing in my ears as I wake up to my clock blaring. I try to sit up, but I can never find the motivation to get up in the mornings. Once I finally find the energy to sit up in my bed, I look around my plain room.

There's stacks of books piled up to my knees when I stand in every corner. There's two dressers with random things scattered on the top of them. My eyes travel over to my beside table where I have pictures of my parents and my uncle sitting. My closet was open revealing my clothes and shoes. My walls are decorated with random pictures and posters of things I don't care to remember anymore. I look towards my bathroom just knowing I have to prepare for the dreadful day.

I slowly start climbing out of the warmth when I hear noise downstairs. I freeze because I live alone, I walk towards my bedroom door and creak it open. I start tiptoeing down the stairs to peek around the corner into my living room. I see a small shadow run under my coffee table. My eyes go big with fear until hear a little meow flow to my ears. I sigh in relief and walk over to her. I hold out my arms to her as she pads over to my awaiting arms, her name is Supernova. She's white with a black tipped tail and blue eyes.  She has the stars in her eyes, so I say to my babycat everyday.

I pick her up and walk back up the stairs to get ready for the day while Nova is purring in my arms. Once I'm back in my lifeless room I set Nova on my bed and head for the bathroom. I turn to the mirror to stare at my reflection. My dull green eyes that lost their shine months ago are still half closed from sleep. My lips are chapped and cracked because I refused to buy Chapstick. My chocolate chip brown hair reaches to just above my butt is tangled and wavy from last nights sleep. My dimples never show anymore because I never smile. I look downwards towards my body, I stay fit so I can stay healthy. I don't like the way I look because I know I can do better but why make an effort when people don't care. I stay to myself at school. I talk to no one because they look at me like I'm a charity case.

I start to strip out of my pajamas and turn on the shower. Steam fills the room while it fogs the mirror up. I step in the shower only to jump back because the water is too hot.

After finding the right temperature, I wash my hair and my body until I finally step out of the shower. I don't spend much time in the shower because it's where I think, I want to distract myself as much as I can. I wrap my body in a blue fluffy towel and walk to my dresser. I grab undergarments and slip them on, then I walk to my closet and pick out a maroon colored shirt, some skinny jeans and my grandma sweater. After dressing myself, I head back to the bathroom to blow dry my hair,  put in some mascara and brush my teeth.

I walk out once again and grab my slip on vanz. After finishing my daily routine, I start to head out. I pick up my book bag from the and sling it over my shoulder, quickly giving babycat a kiss on the head while saying "I love you". I hear a meow in return so I head to the stairs. I walk through the living and picking up my keys from the table and walking out the door. I lock my front door and head to my car. It's nothing special, so why explain what it looks like. I hop in and pull out of the drive.

'This is going to be a shitty day like always.' I say to myself as I start driving to school.

I contemplate how I'm going to survive when all the stupid ass people are going to stare and whisper as I walk by. I don't need them... I'm better alone.

I finally make it to hell hole and pull into the student parking section. I park in the very back of the parking lot because I will have more time to prepare, both physically and mentally. I turn the engine off and swing the door open and step out. I start making the long dreading journey to the main entrance.

Halfway through my journey I hear the first bell ring and I knew I had to hurry but I couldn't bring myself too. I walked at a pace of a turtle because I really didn't want to do this. Finally, I reach the main door and walk to my homeroom. As I was thinking of ways to get out of class, maybe I could fake sick or bang my bead against the desk till I pass out. I finally make it to class. I look at my phone before I enter and see I'm 4 minutes late. Great. I walk like a dead zombie through the door and hear my math teacher stop mid-sentence.

"Ahhhh," he said as his eyes landed in me. "Thank you, Miss. Segers for gracing us with your presence." He said sarcastically. I was so tempted to flip him off and walk back out but I kept it together.

"You're very welcome." I said with so much sass I could muster up. I turned and walked to my seat and plopped down. I could care less about math, so I put my head down and slowly drifted to dreamland.

I hear laughter, like child laughter.... I slowly see a garden. It's like I've seen this place before. Almost a memory...

I hear the laughter again and I follow it this time. I want to know where it is at. I finally hear it getting louder and then I see it, well more like her. There is a little girl trying to catch butterflies and she danced around. At first I just saw her but then I hear a mans voice. "I'm coming for you Ivy!" He chased after her laughing form. I finally saw the mans face and I realized who he was.

I was my uncle. It was really him. I wanted to step forward and run to him but I didn't want to mess the beautiful memory up. I loved him so much. After my parents died he took me in and raised me from when I was 7.  The memory started fading. I wanted to go back, to be with him.

Soon I was left in darkness. I feel to my knees as the tears poured out. I miss him. He was like my father. Seeing that memory, it broke my heart all over again knowing I'll only have the memories.

I was soon jolted awake by the bell signaling that is was time for second period. I grabbed my book bag and jolted out the door to the library.

I had free time until 4, so I usually keep to myself in there. Once I finally made it I knew I was safe. I'm such a huge bookworm. I've basically almost read all the books in here since freshman year. As I walked through the endless aisles of little adventures waiting to be cracked open. I make my way to the section where I know my favorite book is awaiting my return. When I round the corner to the place where my book is at I see someone standing there.

Wait! Hold up. Is that Adrian.....

I looked over the stranger again, I guess feeling my stare the stranger looked up and just like I suspected. Yep. That's him for sure. I narrowed my eyes at him because he was holding my favorite book. 'Assbutt' I thought as I glared at him. But the glare didn't seem to faze him because he smiled at me. What the hell. I'm glaring at you dude and you smile? So I turn around and stalk off to find another book to read to pass the time.

But I never suspected that Adrain Parker would have such a huge impact on my life after that dreadful stare off in the library.

Just Great.
