Today is the first year of senior year. Thinking that today is a very important day to a senior student, like me, I would wake up really early and get myself ready as good as possible, right? Wrong. The night before school starts, I went to sleepover at one of my best friend house. We spent the day talking, laughing, eating, watching comedy movies and more eating. That's what we normally do, and since we did a lot of stuff that day we slept late. Really late.
Knowing damn well, Sophie wont wake up with a simple good morning, I grabbed a small cup of water and splashed it against her face. Sophie immediately sprung up from her bed, gasping for air. I nodded at myself in accomplishment and started gathering my clothes from the hot pink backpack I brought from home.
"What the hell? Why did you do that for?" Sophie glared at me with her dark green eyes. I remember when I met her, the first thing I told her was that I was really jealous of her eyes. Everyone in my family had colored eyes except me. I got stuck with plain ol' boring brown eyes. Even the boring rhymes with brown.
My dad used to tell me that having brown eyes is a privilege, but I think the only reason why he is saying that is because he does too have brown eyes, "You don't realize that having brown eyes make you more beautiful. Whenever you step foot outside, your 'boring brown' changes to this blazing dark red color with a mixture of hazel, that represents who you are. God made you this way, God makes everyone beautiful."
Now whenever I look at myself in the mirror I remember my dad's every single word. I am halfway done with my eye make-up, when Sophie is barely getting off of her bed.
"You better hurry up. I don't want to carry you're ass to school." I said, as I tried to finish my eyeliner as fast as I could. Just because I woke up late, doesn't mean I won't do my make up. My hair I am fine with, but my face I am not. The face is what everyone sees, my face needs to be presentable.
"You love my ass, don't lie." she spanked her ass in front of me and I just raised an eyebrow at her.
"Sophie, your ass is the size of a flat pancake. Now hurry up, I don't want to be late for the first day of school."
Sophie pouted, "Bitch."
"Same goes to you."
Don't worry. This is how me and Sophie interact with each other. People think we hate each other but it's all love. There's nothing I would do or change to switch best friend. She may be annoying, and rude but, we are basically the same person. What would I do with out her flat pancake, annoying and rude ass.
By the end of the day, we were both physically and mentally tired. You would think that since its the first day, everything will go smooth with no struggle. But it seems as if the teachers love their job so much that they just want to see us fail. My schedule this year has me wondering if I am going to graduate this year. Somehow I have three AP classes and 2 honers classes. The last one is a free block.
"When did you get so smart?" Sophie asked me as we both walked out of the school, towards the parking lot. I opened my mouth ready to answer her question but then I thought about it and closed it. When did I get so smart? Sure, I am not stupid but I am not smart enough to pass all these classes. There must be something wrong with the school's system. And to put the cherry on top, I haven't done one single community hours. That's what happens when you procrastinate.
So not only do I have a lot of homework due next class, but I also have to start doing my hours or else I will certainly not graduate. I need to graduate. I need to put an example to my little brother when he is older. I don't want him to go through the things that I did when I was younger. I also, don't want to spend the rest of my life here in this town. Everyone knows everybody and that means people knowing about other people quickly and that means judgement. The good thing about me and my family is that we arrived late in this town for our neighbors to know a single thing about us. If they knew why we moved here, all I would get would be pitiful looks and that's not what I want to get. Me and my family moved here for a fresh start and that's what we got. The only catch is that we can't trust anybody and will not say a single word to anyone. Including Sophie.
Sophie's family has a bad reputation and now her family can barely get through the day to gather enough money to support each other. I still don't understand how some people always judge before knowing the full story. And when they know the full story, they are too stuck up to admit that they are wrong and still judge. The nerve of some human beings. They are too caught up with gossip and drama surrounding them that they miss the important things in life. They don't realize that from one minute to another, their whole live can be snatched from a snap of the finger. And poof, gone! Just like that.
I began walking to the bus stop station when Sophie stopped me mid ways. "hey, where you going? I thought we were going back to my house?"
"Uh, no. I actually have a spot to do my community hours." I half smiled, remembering all the memories from my past.
