Cherry soda calamity

🍒seven🍒

The next day was a blur honestly.I don't remember much of what happened.I just remembered the heavy, thick silence between my mother and I in the car, after her outburst from last night.

I understand she needs things like that to be able to function, every one needs to have a shit fit every once in awhile, but I just didn't think She'd even consider bursting around me.

It just baffled me.

I don't remember much of what happened, but I remember what I had for lunch.

I remember the bag of cheap vending machine popcorn and the luke warm cherry coke.

I figured mom wouldn't care, considering last night she kind of snapped,and didn't even take my  phone. I just wasn't going to tell her.                           

                                                                   ***

I came to when the final bell rang.

I didn't even remember what class I was in, I just started packing up at the loud, dull ring, and smirked to myself as the teacher frantically attempted to keep students in the class. "The bell doesN't dismiss you, I do!" She chanted over, and over again in her shrill bird like voice. I looked around the room when she started chanting for us to stay seated, despite the bell signalling we can leave. The other kids seemed to be disregarding what she was saying, so I figured I could leave as well without consequence.

I don't like my locker situation. The school has two floors, and all of my classes are on the first, but for some ungodly reason, my locker is on the top floor. Who thought that was a good idea?

I just decided that I'd carry my books around in my bag, like a degenerate.

I looked at the big unnecessary wall monitor to check the time, just to make sure that it was time to leave, because really I was out of it.

I didn't sleep what so ever,I couldn't stop thinking about what she said. I had a horrible taste in my mouth from the foul things she said, and

thinking of what she stopped herself from saying.

I stumbled along like a zombie looking for a exit. There was a obscene number of kids in this school, and it baffled me.This school was much smaller than my old one, but still had the same, if not more,number of kids. It was suffocating. 

I finally spotted an exit and tried to squeeze through the swarm of adolescence, only to be yelled at by a cocky senior.

Well, I assumed he was one, considering he called me a "fucking niner".

I settled with ignoring him,as I continued to push through the crowd to get to the exit. I wasn't sure if my mom was picking me up or not, and oh did I hope she was. I still didn't know the area well enough to bus home. When I finally got outside, I sighed slightly when I saw her car in the parking lot.

At least she wasn't that mad at me.
