Pray the lord my soul to take

I felt sick from the moment I woke today. 

I was in pain and could barely move.

" Do you want to stay home?" my mother called softly from the doorway.

I rolled over to look at her and pushed my covers off. I shook my head and sat up determinded I would go to school today. 

"Are you sure?" mum asked again.

"Yes, I'm sure" I answered. 

Mum left the room and I began to shovel pain killers into my mouth. I packed my bag and left to catch my bus shortly after, I normally skip breakfast so I didn't bother with it today. I'm in grade 11 so school's really important now, I needed to go when ever I could otherwise they'd kick me out.

I got to school and sat down with two of my friends, Jess and Simon. 

Simon was very tall and had brown hair while Jess was a only a little taller than me and had long blonde hair.  

"How is Tash this morning?" Jess asked, her long blonde hair swaying with every move she made. 

"Shit" I replied as I opened my bag to take another round of pain killers.

Simon began to blaber on about how he argued with the science teacher the other day. She told him theres no fire in space because there's no oxygen and he talked about how he pointed towards the sun and said "what the hell do you call that thing then?"

I was amused by his story but I quickly turned to what was a mix of anger and dispare when I realised I forgot to pack my pain killers.

"Oh wow that's so interesting" Jess said sarcastically.

"It was," Simon assured, "Tash looks angry."

"I forgot my fucking pain killers" I rolled my eyes and slumped back against the wall next to the libary door.

I didn't have to put up with the pain for long though, shortly after that my boyfriend, Dylan, arrived at school. He walked up and pulled me to my feet, my short black and red tinted hair flew out of my face. We hugged and then I stepped back. He stared into my grey doll like eyes and I took in his familar dark green eyes and shoulder length curly black hair. He also had 3 stitches in his bottom lip from last week when he was attacked at random on the street by some guy with a baseball bat. These random attacks were becoming a comon occurance. 

We said good bye to Jess and Simon and walked out of the school. Today we had decided to go get breakfast in town. 

"I need to buy so more pain killers" I said as we walked down the street.

"You still got those bad pains?" Dylan asked.

"Yes and I forgot to bring the Panadol to school."

"I'll pay for them."

"You can't keep paying for everything" I smiled.

"Yes I can" Dylan insisted.
