School.

Just why?

  It's not that I don't like school or anything. Actually, now that I say that out loud it is that I don't like school at all. It's 8 hours of my day that I could be doing other important things. It's also super boring. You have to sit around and listen to a teacher just ramble on about something and then at the end of every class says "Get your homework done because if you don't you'll never succeed in life." Or they say "You'll need to remember this later in life." But really learning about penguins isn't going to save me someday unless I study them. Which in my case I don't plan to.


I should probably explain who I am. My name is Lisa. Nope, you don't get to know what my last name is. I am almost 16 years old. I am also going to be talking about my family so if you hear these names they are part of my family. Mary and Ruby are the oldest in my family. They're both twins and almost 18. Their birthday is tomorrow so everything is about them right now. Jacob is 17 and probably the only one that is on my side in this house. Then there is me. The youngest child in the family is Matthew. He is only 5 years old. Then we have my mom and dad that run the whole household.

My family sometimes can be a mess but we still love each other. Ok, sometimes we love each other. But back to the school thing. The only reason anybody can get me to go to school is my boyfriend John. But he isn't super important in this story. But really the only reason I go to school is because of this boy in only two of my classes. If you saw him you would understand. For some weird reason I'm drawn to him. Not in like a lovey-dovey way. Nope but for some other reason. 

Suddenly, my name is called by the teacher and I go into a full panic sweat. The whole class I hadn't been listening. But, then he said my name again and this time I listen.

"Lisa can you answer the question?"

"Umm could you repeat the question again please?"

"Do you have any idea why the office would want you?"

"Oh yes, I have to go somewhere."

"Ok then you are excused to go."

Saved by the office once again. When I got called to the office it was either for a club I was in or my parents came by to bring to an appointment or go home early. I ran out of the classroom before he could ask me anymore questions. As I fumbled with my junk the teacher comes running out after me. which made me panic even more but I had to stop at my locker so that was where he would catch me. Once I stopped at my locker he had caught up with me. Almost. He handed me a paper and went back to class. Once all my stuff is in my backpack I peek around to see why the office had needed me. And my parents eyes are right on me. Oh no what did I do now?
