Beep, beep, beep, be-

I slapped my hand over my alarm, frustrated and ready to go back to sleep. I seriously loved my sleep and nobody has any right whatsoever to deprive me of it. Except school. Ugh. Did I say school? Sorry, I meant HELL.

I groggily got up, cursing the person who invented school, and their mother, and their mother's mother, and well you get the point.

As soon as I got out of the shower and threw on a hoodie, skinny jeans, and converse, I grabbed my backpack, and my mini writing pad, then rushed downstairs.

'Good Morning, Mom. Breakfast smells good. As usual.' I quickly wrote on the paper.

Mom smiled. "Good morning, sweetie. And you better hurry if you want some breakfast. Only 10 minutes till the bus comes," she glanced at the clock.

Oh joy. Sometimes I regretted taking the bus. But it was my choice really. And I had to face the consequences. I rushed to stuff some eggs in my mouth. Then grabbed the milk carton and chugged it down. I glanced at my mom as I wiped my mouth, and saw her shaking her head.

"Go, you maniac," she giggled. "And by the way, dad will be picking you up today. He left early this morning, so he's getting off early today. Now shoo."

I saluted her, once again making her go through a fit of giggles, and left the house. As I walked to the bus stop, I thought about my family. Mom was a 1st grade teacher and she didn't have to go work till 8. Dad was a pediatrician and he worked different hours. But he always made time for us and loved us dearly. And then there was...

I swallowed and closed my eyes tightly, trying to prevent any memories flowing. I opened my eyes just as the bus arrived. I got on and went to grab a seat.

As I sat down and the bus started moving, I stared out the window. As houses and trees blurred by, so did my memories. But I blocked them out. Not today. Not now.

As I arrived at school, I shouldered my backpack and looked ahead. I sighed. Then I shook my head, and moved forward. School sucks. But at least it will take my mind off the things. I hope.
