Chapter 2: Holidays Broke Up With Me
I was never a person for exercise as I never had the motivation. I mean, I'd rather be pushed around in a trolley for all I care, but now, sprinting down the street trying to get to school before the doors closed, made me rethink my idea of finally becoming fit....In a few years maybe.
I was sweating like a pig and as I glanced down at my phone to see the time, 8:29, I realised I had to pick up my turtle pace and turn into a rabbit. Metaphorically of course. School gates closed at 8:30 and I still had to run a fare way.
"Morning John" I managed to gasp out to the security guard manning the gates.
"Just made it again Ally" John's disappointed reply was faint as I just kept on running all the way up three flights of stairs, two corridors and finally, I made it to home room. I grabbed the handle of the door and was about to yank it open when I felt it was still locked. That's weird. Home room started 5 minuted ago? "Oh Shit! Shit. Shit. Shit. SHIT!!" Cursing out loud I realised we had opening assembly which I was most definitely late for.
So now, here I am, hiding in the bathroom stalls until the assembly concludes. "Why am I such an idiot!?" Whispering to myself out loud seemed to be the only thing to keep me occupied for the next hour since, low and behold, my phone just ran out of battery. I mentally added all of this mornings incidents to my list of 'why I hate Mondays'.
My legs are cramped and my butt is acing from sitting on the toilet seat for over an hour now. I guess Miss Gobna the school principal is giving one of her 'try your hardest and never give up' speeches again. Glad I'm missing this one as I've heard the same speeches year, after year, after year and not just from Miss. Gobna.
You see, I have a tendency to not give a junk ass about putting effort into my work. I really don't understand why I'm like that, I guess it's just another one of my many imperfections. I mean, if you're not good at something, why try? That's my motto. Probably not the best one or one in which you should follow after, but it gets me through life...for now that is.
