Shoes, jacket, ponytail, bag, 8th grade. This year is different. This year is special. This year, is my last year of middle school. I have to make the most of it.
I walk down to my bus stop and wait. "Think positive." I tell myself. "Pretty soon I will have nothing to worry about." I take my earbudds and plug it into my phone and play my favorite song. I wait a few minutes longer for the bus to come.
I get on the bus, take a seat and continue listening to my music. It takes a good amount of time before the bus gets to my school. So I lean my head back and rest my eyes. Listening to all the music has to offer. Yes, there are other kids on the bus that go to my same school. Yes, I know them, but I stay quiet and wait for our stop to come. I am exausted. First day of school. Who isn't tired? I almost fell asleep, just making it to get off. I cross the street and get to school.
My best friend is in a different class than I am. Great, way to start of the new year. First day of school is the usual. Enter school, get to your class and learn about the class and classroom. So it was an average day.
I get home and see my sister nikki on the couch.
"Hi." I say as i walk in.
"Sup'."
I go to my room and put everything down.
"Rose. Come here."
"Why?" I reply with.
"Because. Rose come here."
I go to her just to find out that she had nothing to really say.
"Why did you call me here just for that?" I ask her.
"Because i really want a bacon egg and cheese."
"I know but did you really have to call me over here?"
"Yes."
"Why?" I ask.
"Because I really want one and i dont want to say it out loud."
She points to our stepmom.
I give Nikki a look and sigh.
"No Nikki. I don't want." I walk back to my room and shut the door before she can come and say anything. I grab my phone, continue my music and play games on my tablet.
This keeps happening just about for the rest of the school year. Not the sandwhich but the secrets. The secrets that made the reason why our family split. The reason why i now keep to myself. The reason why I am who I am now. A shy teenage girl afraid to open up to others.
