                Kim straightened the last strand of hair and ran downstairs, slipping her scuffed black converse as she went. “Slow down, you’re going to fall on your ass.” Kalel says. “I’m fine.” She stops at the bar and slips her hoodie on, rolling the sleeves up to her elbows. “Eat some breakfast.” Kalel says pointing to the box of cereal on the counter. “No time.” Kim says grabbing her bag and a banana. “I’ll eat on my way.” She slings the bag over her shoulder and kisses Kalel on the cheek. “I’ll see you later.” She says. “Bye Dad!” she calls down the hall. “Bye Kim!” Anthony calls from his office.

                Kim walks down the street in the warm California weather. “Hey,” Aedin says walking up beside her. “Hey,” she hugs him and shoves the banana in his hands. He gets into the driver’s seat of his car and Kim in the passenger. He drives with one hand on the wheel, the other held its usual spot in the palm of Kim’s. “Fuck.” She says putting her free hand on her forehead. “What?” Aedin asks pulling down a street and almost hitting some freshmen on bikes who were not paying attention. “I have a test for Jones and I did not study,” She says. “I’m going to fucking fail, I’m already on thin ice with my mom as it is.” She says. “You’ll be ok, Jones likes you right?” Aedin asks. “I guess, she doesn’t despise me.” She says. Kim didn’t know why teachers didn’t like her. Maybe it was her ‘punk rock extierior’. Or maybe she just didn’t pay much attention. Her mind was always somewhere else. Aedin pulled into the parking lot of the school and they sat there for a few moments. “Ready?” He asks. “I guess.” Kim says taking a deep breath. The couple gets out and takes hands.

                They parted ways at their lockers and met up again with the rest of the group. They all chatted until the bell rang and they had to part ways. “Good luck.” Aedin says. They kissed before parting ways.

                Kim sat with the test in front of her staring at the questions. She was stressing, big time. Nothing made sense. Everything was just jumble. The clock ticked and every ten minutes the teacher would remind them of the time. Kim tapped her foot on the floor anxiously. She took a deep breath, but nothing helped. Instead her breaths where becoming shorter. Oh no, not now please. She thought. She was having a panic attack. She’s had them ever since she was little, she inherited them from Anthony. She took a deep sharp breath and calmed herself a bit. After a few minutes it was over, but so was the test and she only had a few questions done. “Hand them in, finished or not.” Mrs. Jones says looking Kim in the eye with an evil look. Ok, maybe she did hate Kim.

                After the long day Aedin drove her home. “How was school?” He asks. “Shitty, that test was hard enough, then at the very end I had to get a panic attack to make it worse.” She says quickly and loudly. “I’m sorry, it will get better.” Aedin says putting his hand on her knee. “I hope so, or else I’m screwed.”
