His Good Girl

Chapter 7

No no no no. Not today. Why today after the night I just had why today?

I could feel the heavy weight in my shoulders as I sat up and walked to the bathroom.

I sighed deeply as I stared into the mirror.

My expression was blank, I had bags under my eyes, and my face seems to not have any color at all.

I felt numb but achy.

I sighed and got started on getting ready for the day.

I decided to go lazy today. Some light gray joggers with 'Hogwarts' written in black letters going down the leg and an oversized black hoodie over my black sports bra. I threw my hair in a bun, not caring about the hair falling out of it. I adjusted my glasses, slipped my converse on and grabbed my backpack and made my way down stairs, making sure to grab my phone.

Everyone was in the kitchen drinking coffee. Alex was the first one to greet me.

"Hey there, Iz!" His face fell when he took in my appearance.

I forced a smile and nodded in his direction. He swallowed and nodded and started typing at his phone.

Dad held a look of confusion when he looked at us only for it to be replaced with realization.

"Hey, sweetie, you feeling okay this morning?"

Again, a smile and a nod.

I hated this. I really hated this. I tried to control it but what's the use? My own fucked up brain just doesn't want to work today I guess.

"Well I should be getting you to school then, sis." Alex spoke grabbing his jacket.

I followed silently behind him.

The drive was awkward and quiet, he didn't even turn on the radio.

When we got to the school he stopped me from getting out.

"Hey wait! Izzy, what is going on today? One of Those Days?" He asked, his voice full of concern.

Instead of answering I opened the door and slammed it shut and walked away.

Of course it's one of Those Days. It really had to be one of Those freaking Days.

I walked up to the school a few curious glances found their way towards me but I ignored them. I looked like shit and probably looked either pissed or about to cry.

At my locker Kelsey and Max seemed to be discussing something but stopped abruptly when they saw me.

"Good morning, cupcake!" Kelsey chirped.

"Good morning, guys." My voice was a sad whisper.

I opened my locker and saw myself in the small mirror in it. God my hair was awful.

I let out a frustrated sigh and took my hair down redoing my bun so it looked a bit better.

I grabbed the books I needed and slammed the locker closed.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breathe.

I will not cry today. I will not have a panic attack today. I will not have an anxiety attack today. I will be fine. I will not cry.

The bell rang signaling us to get to class.

Max and Kelsey seemed reluctant when they said good-bye.

I got to math class and slowly got my stuff out and on my desk. I stared blankly into space.

What happened? Why is this happening now? Why is it one of Those Days?
