Saturdays were my designated relaxation days. So on Friday nights, I'd finish all my homework, even if it keeps me up until the ungodly hours of the morning, because I get to sleep in the next day. However, when I woke up way earlier than I intended that glorious Saturday morning, I knew immediately something was off. It didn't take long for me to figure it out, really.
All I had to do was take note of the fact that my boobs were killing me, I was feeling more grumpier than usual, and my calendar said it was almost time. I could cry. My day of relaxation just flew out the window and got run over by a bus.
I reached for my phone with all the intention of bitching to Charlie about my crisis, but a text from Leo made me sidetrack.
Leo:
Guess what your name is in my phone??
He sent it around six in the morning...on a Saturday.
Me:
What could possibly require you to wake up so early on a Saturday morning??
It took him a while to answer.
Leo:
Gym.
My nose scrunched up in disgust.
Me:
Eeww.
Leo:
I know right? Anyways. Got any guesses??
I sighed.
Me:
Do I have to?
Leo:
Nah. I'll tell you.
Leo:
Butterfly!
Butterfly? It took me a second. Oh.
Me:
Because of the spirit animal test??
Leo:
Yep! 😁
Before I got a chance to reply, he sent another text.
Leo:
So, what are your plans for today?
He shouldn't have asked. I felt my shoulders slump.
Me:
You know how I told you my theory about P.E.?
Leo:
Yeah?
Me:
I'm pretty sure PMS is Satan's misuss, and periods is the waterfall she bathes in.
Leo:
Lovely...
Me:
Yeah...so you might wanna stay away from me for the next few days or so.
Leo:
Copy that.
I didn't bother replying after that, opting instead to get back on track and send Charlie a text about everything wrong with my life, but half way through, he sent me another message.
Leo:
Anything I can do?
And I was crying.
Damn you, Mrs. Satan!
