To Love You

Chapter 13: Assessment? Ugh...

~Katie~

(This is on the MONDAY after the weekend...)

I was woken up by my alarm beeping at seven o'clock on the dot. As my eyes were still closed I reached for the alarm to turn it off. I managed to get there in time before my brother slammed open my door.

"Josh! Piss off," I yelled at him as I sat up. He just stood there and grinned with his arms folded.

"Well turn that alarm off quicker!" He smiled. Fucking Hell, piss off. My head shook side to side as a grin started to appear on my face. As did his. He left from my door and the door slammed behind him. I moaned as I got up off my soft, comfy queen sized bed.

I walked straight over towards my massive walk-in wardrobe. I looked around for something nice to wear. While I was looking for something to wear I got caught up singing "Fuckin' Perfect" By the singer "P!nk".

(P!nk: Fuckin' Perfect- Lyrics Video)

Made a wrong turn

Once or twice

Dug my way out

Blood and fire

Bad decisions

That's alright

Welcome to my silly life

Mistreated

Misplaced, misunderstood

Miss no way it's all good

It didn't slow me down

Mistaken, always second guessing

Underestimated

Look, I'm still around

Pretty, pretty please

Don't you ever ever feel

Like you're less than

Fuckin' perfect

Pretty pretty please

If you ever ever feel

Like you're nothing

You're fuckin' perfect to me.

I grabbed a plain white shirt to wear under my purple jumper with a Nike tick on the front. I got some denim jeans to go with this and some black vans.

I walked downstairs and saw mum had left a note on the island in our kitchen. So obviously I read it. 

Hi kids!

I have left some money here for lunch...

To save you a day of packing your lunch!

Love yous xx

-Mum

Feeling a smile widen on my face I thought about why she would do this. I remembered she never did get were I went on Friday night outta me. That's the freakin' twist! See I knew it! Imma take the money anyway, she isn't getting anything outta me!

Flashback: Saturday Morning.

I was woken up by my door slamming open and light shining into the tiny gaps between my eye lids.

"Katie, where were you last night?" my mother screamed furiously. I looked over at the time and it was five o'clock.

"Mum! Not now, I'm too tired," I said stuttering because I was so tired. I looked up to see her furious with her hands on her hips in her work uniform.

"No, I wanna have a serious talk!" I dumped my head in my pillow and got back up covering my eyes. I opened them to see her right up in my face, give me my fucking space I thought.

"I had to do something!" I replied also furious. She stormed out like a five year old and turned my light off. I closed my eyes until my alarm went off. "Fuckin' Hell," I whispered to myself while trying to go back to sleep.

End of Flashback

Good times... Good times. I heard a car horn and looked up at the clock to see it was thirty minutes till I had to get picked up. I ran towards the front door and grabbed my bag on the way out. I forgot that I was getting picked up early to go see Lucy. She is out of the hospital now but just needs crutches.

I ran out and saw her hobbling along with her crutches. I ran over and said hi to her and gave her a fist bump thing we do when we remember.

We got into the car and Lucy started taking the bandage off of her foot. I asked what was she doing and then I remembered I said I wanted to see what was wrong with it.

"Shit Lucy!" I yelled as I stared at the swollen red mark on her foot. She grinned and started to wrap the bandage back around her swollen foot.

"She pinched the skin. Remember when Lauren did that in soccer a year ago?" She asked to refresh the memory. I nodded and scrunched up my face at the thought.

~In Music Class~

"Good Morning year twelves. Because you have only three weeks left of school. You get your assessment today. I have paired you up in partners of boys and girls. After I announce the partners, I will tell you what the assessment is." The teacher said while messing around with paper on her desk. Most people moaned the first time she said the 'A' word (Assessment). I guess the boy and girl thing would work, there are even numbers of each in this class.

"Once I announce your partners an you please both stand together up on the wall on the left side of me," she said not even looking up at the class. She can be a rude bitch sometimes but she's really nice too.

"The partners are Lachlan and Florida, John and Richelle, Zach and Ruby, Aaron and Cathy, Brandon and Katie..." YES! I get Brandon! I turned to him and he smiled. We both got up and walked over to the side wall.

We all waited for her to finish off the groups. I stood there for a while pissing him off by elbowing him in the ribs softly. He kept grinning and shaking his head after every elbow.

"Ok class, now that that's over you can now find out what the assessment is! You have to choose a song, any song... T.V. show song, Movie song, something off MTV. Anything, Just a song. You have to play an instrument and sing that song together on the dance next week." Everyone groaned, huffed or moaned this time.

To Be Continued...

In Australia we have something that Grade twelves do. It's a ten week term and the grade twelves finish four weeks earlier than everyone else. After they leave most of them go on a trip somewhere and get drunk and enjoy themselves. This is called 'Schoolies'. I've never been over anywhere else so I don't know if any other country or state does this. Sorry :(
