I reach my bedroom door and turn the knob slowly. I shut the door lightly behind me so it doesn’t slam like the car door. I don’t want mum to think I’m mad, because I’m not, I’m just annoyed. Why does it have to be his dad out of all people? I jump onto my bed and tuck myself under the covers. I grab my phone out of my dress pocket. 3 new messages. Of course I didn’t hear it, it’s been on silent from school.
From Sophie:
Hey girl, where were you at lunch? Text me back asap xxx
From Sophie:
Mia! Give me a call when you can! What the hell happened at recess!?
From Sophie:
Is everything okay? Because you haven’t answered any of my text messages? Call me xxx
I feel sort of bad for dodging all her messages but I have no idea how to explain what happened at recess. Maybe she will understand that. Instead of calling her I reply with a quick text.
To Sophie:
Hey Sophie, everything’s all good, sorry about lunch had to go see Mr Smith about an assignment. About recess, I don’t know how to explain because I have no idea why that happened. Sorry about the late reply xxxx.
I didn’t actually need to see Mr Smith, I just dodged Sophie and all her questions. I was bit confused on what happened and still am. He was such a creep!
"Well I hope not, cause the thoughts I'm having right now would be pretty wrong if you were” repeats in my head.
What the hell, why would he even be having those thoughts. He hates me anyway, every comment that’s ever came out of his mouth towards me has been an insult. I have a massive headache from overthinking everything that happened today so I decide to rest my eyes. Being a teenager is not easy I can tell you that.
****
“Mia, time to get up! Its 6.40 already!” Mum yells through the bedroom door.
Crap I must've fell asleep last night when I was resting my eyes! Shit its 6.40, lucky I don’t take long to get ready! I slowly get out of bed and dress myself in my horrid school uniform. “Another shitty day at school.” I whisper to myself as I buckle up my T-bars.
I walk down the hall into the bathroom on the right. It’s good that we have 2 bathrooms so I don’t have to put up with mum in the morning. Let’s just say she is not a morning person! Especially at 6.50am!
I decide today that I want to wear a bit of makeup. I’m not trying to impress anyone but sometimes it’s nice to look presentable. I spread the liquid foundation across my face and add some powder all over. This crap does not smell good. I add a little bit of mascara and I’m done.
I take the long journey down my deadly stairs and continue to walk towards the kitchen.
“Hey Zeusy, how was your sleep?” I say in a high pitch tone. He just wags his tail as he follows me towards the kitchen. That’s the one thing about Zeus he will not leave you alone if you have food. I take an apple, yoghurt and a flip and go salad out of the fridge and chuck it in a brown paper bag.
“Hello sleepy head” mum comments as she makes her way into the kitchen. “How was your sleep, you missed out on dinner”
“Sorry, I had a long day and I was really tired” I tell her.
“That’s okay sweetie. Anything planned after school today?” She questions.
“No, straight home.”
“Good, maybe we can go out for dinner or something?”
“Sounds great mum!” I squeak as I place the brown paper bag in my school bag.
7.20 Already! I have 10 minutes to have breakfast so I just decide on an Up and Go again. These things are literally life savers I don’t know what I would eat without them! 10 minutes flies by and mum and I are already on the way out.
“Bye Zeus” I shout as I close the front door behind me.
Just another boring day of boring routines I think to myself as I slide into the front seat.
(Authors Note, Thanks for reading guys!!!! I hope you enjoyed this chapter, just a bit more to know Mia and her Mum xxx Sorry about the really short chapters, I promise to write longer ones xx)
