Silent Treatment

Three

     I woke up suddenly and I quickly sat up in my bed, only to hit my head against something hard. My hand flew to my forehead immediately and started to rub the thumping spot. I slowly opened my eyes to see my Aunt Tina standing in front of me.

    "Sorry! I was just trying to get you awake and you wouldn't wake up so I came to shake you awake and then ta da! Here we are." My aunt exclaimed to me. I nodded my head at her before she left my room in silence.

    I noticed my head was still turned to the side, so I tried to turn it forwards but I got a sharp pain in my neck and put it back in the original position. This is what I get for sleeping with my neck bent. I slowly started to move my head back to its normal position.

     When it finally went back to normal, I stood up to go take a shower. I let the hot water run down my body, a sigh leaving my mouth as the water relaxed me. I love hot showers and I don't know why. After I washed my hair and body I got out and dried myself off.

    I made my way back to my room and grabbed a pair of briefs, a pair of black skinny jeans, and a red and black long sleeve shirt. I paired it with my black VANS and a pair of red socks. Not my whole wardrobe is black, I just didn't want to wear a jacket and I didn't want my tattoos to show at school.

   I have managed to go for three weeks without anyone noticing. I make sure my shirts don't hang off my body and I'm always wearing long sleeves or a jacket. My family knows I have my tattoos they just don't know what they say or what they are.

   I pulled my outfit on and ran my fingers through my hair, pushing it to the right side of my face. I packed my backpack back up before I made my way downstairs. I didn't eat anything as I made my way out the door. I have a car I just don't like to use it because of how close I live to the school.

    I listened to the sounds of the city waking up as I walked to school. The sun was rising and the grass was wet from the sprinklers this morning. The sounds are always calming because nobody is trying to disturb them.

    As I made my way onto the school grounds, I noticed not many people were here. I didn't look around to see who was here, I just simply ignored everyone and walked into the building. I went to my locker and grabbed my Math books. I didn't do my homework last night so I might as well do it in class before the bell rings.
