Waking up the next day, I dreaded realizing it was Monday. But soon it'll be Tuesday, then Wednesday, next Thursday, and then Friday! Yay! Ugh, then Monday will come back around.
I forced myself to get out of bed and get ready for school. I shared a room with Ozzie so I had to be quiet so I wouldn't wake her. She'd have to go school later today.
I walked downstairs to see mom dressed. She kissed me on the cheek.
"Hey there Lily'Ola". She said happily. My nickname stung me in the back. I haven't been called that in a long time. Mom only calls me that when she's in a good mood which isn't a everyday thing. I wondered what has her glowing.
"I have to pick up your father from the hospital". She said with a hint of dread. I nodded not in the mood for chit-chat.
"I can give you a ride from school". Mom offered. Now I'm really suspicious. She rarely does offer me rides since school was only a few blocks away.
"Sure". I said trying to not let on how confused I was.
Mom dropped me off at school with a "Have a nice day Lily'Ola!" Everyone at school snickered at my nickname.
I met up with my friend Yael under the giant oak tree behind the gym.
Yael was a handsome Asian guy with green eyes hidden behind a pair of wire rimmed thin glasses. His hair was freshly cut bringing out the cute freckles that spread across his nose. I don't have a crush on him or anything but he's a seriously cool person. He was tall, skinny, funny and dorky. I've known him since 1st grade.
"Whaddup poser". I said knocking his book out his hand. Yael picked his book up off the ground. I sat next to him. He was such a bookworm.
"I've been thinking-I gasped, Yael hit me on the head with his book-shut up". He smiled.
"Even though we pretty much hate everyone at this school...I think it'll be a good idea if we go to prom".
"What!?!" I shouted.
"Its a chance to say goodbye to all the people we don't hate". I shook my head. Yael sighed. "Well I wasn't asking for your permission, I'm going". I shrugged.
The school bell rung signaling us to go to class.
My first period was Mrs. Parker, Science. I was in the same class with Tyreese, Rick and Yael.
I walked in the classroom to see all the tables in rows. That means we'll be watching a movie on the SmartBoard.
I sat down in a random seat. Yael walked in. I signaled him to sit next to me but before he could move, Tyreese sat next to me. Yael sat at the table next to me.
I got out a sheet of paper ready to pass notes to Yael.
Mrs. Parker entered the classroom with a happy smile on her face. She always had a smile on her face. Honestly, she is my favorite teacher. She's so enthusiastic, nice, and cheerful. She'll give you so many make up test, chances, and if your having a bad day she'll excuse you to go home.
"Who all didn't your homework?" She happyily asked. Everyone but Yael and I raised their hands.
"Well you're in luck, forget about the Solar System". The class cheered. "Now we're starting Animal Existence!" She's so happy about it.
"Does anyone know what extinct means?" She asked. Nobody raised their hands. I'm sure people knew, just didn't want to answer. I raised my hand.
"Leola".
"It means a organism's race is gone forever".
"Correct!" "Leola gets a bonus!" People in the class started muttering "Teacher's pet" I tried to ignore them.
"Ty". Whispered Rick from the table behind me. "Why are you sitting by bird's nest, come over here". I tried to ignore him by writing a note to Yael.
Rick is a dick.
I passed it to Yael. Mrs. Parker was too busy going on about extinction, life, and animals. Yael passed it back to me.
No dip Sherlock, he jammed my finger in my locker before I came to class
I wrote back and noticed Tyreese looking at my paper. I covered it up so he couldn't see it.
How come people can't just chill, why does everyone have to be a jerk
I passed it to Yael. Tyreese looked hurt. Why would he be hurt? Yael passed the note back.
They all have too much bitch shoved up in their ass, that's why
I giggled. Apparently, it was loud enough for Rick to hear.
"Stop flirting with your bae!" He yelled. The class cranked up laughing. Yael covered his face trying to stop blushing while I did too. I couldn't help but notice Tyreese looked even more hurt...why?
"Rick", Mrs. Parker said firmly"don't be jealous Yael gets more than you". The class died of laughing. That's why everyone loves Mrs. Parker.
"Anyways", She said wiping her eyes" did anyone hear about the riot that almost happened at the Supermarket yesterday?" I knew what she was taking about but I didn't want to raise my hand.
"It was caused because we ran out of beef, cow meat, does anyone know why?"
Yael raised his hand. "Because they want us to eat more chicken, team Chick-Fa-A!" Everyone booed at Yael's failed joke. I smiled. I think his stupid failed jokes are a little...cute. I know he did it for me trying to make me burst out with laughter so I could embarrass myself. Yael grinned at me and I shook my head.
"Um, no Yael, because cows have become...extinct". Everyone in class freaked out, even Yael.
"How!?!" Rick asked.
"There are many reasons how, population growth for us humans, mad cow disease, and being chopped up and made into burgers". Everyone in class began to whine on how much they're going to miss beef.
Being a vegetarian and all, I really didn't care but it must really suck for them.
"Settle down class, there are other meats in the world". " Fish, chicken, goat, and even more!"
" But Mrs. Parker", whined a student"what about beef stew?!?"
"What about tacos!?!" Whined another.
"What about hamburgers!?!" Whined Yael. That seemed to make it worst for them.
It took a while for Mrs. Parker to settle down the class but it finally happened.
On the SmartBoard, she showed us this morning's news where the President explains that cows are extinct.
For the rest of the day, everyone moped around school.
In my family, I'm the only vegetarian. I wonder how their gonna take the news.
