  Friday. Today's the day of Dylan's party. I am super duper nervous. Again, I wake up to Ed Sheeran Pillow looking back at me. His buttcheek smells like me. Don't be mistaken.

  As I roll out of bed, I do my daily routine: practice my silly dances, fucking jam the fuck out to "Don't" by Ed Sheeran, vomit, itch my lice, etc.

  I walk downstairs and see my mom butt chugging NyQuil. "Mom?" I ask timidly.

  "HUH?" she screams as she lays on the floor with a bottle of cold medicine up her ass.

  "Can I like... go to a party tonight?"

  "WHAT?"

  I smile softly and run and jump away. I call it skipping. Happy that my mom gave me permission to go to the party, I make my way outside and to the bus. I run, jump, trip, and fall down right in front of the school bus. The wind gets knocked out of me, so I just lay on the ground, face down for a few seconds. Suddenly, I feel liquid being poured onto my head. I look up and see Lunchbox holding a, now empty, Dunkin' Donuts cup. She then throws the empty cup at my head. I feel extremely embarrassed but all I can think of saying is: "How yummy!"

After catching my breath, I stand up and do a little shake to get some of the coffee off of me. I look up at Lunchbox's open window and jumpty-hop towards it. I grab onto the frame and start climbing through the window. Although, she screamed, pushed me, and tried to close the window, I still managed to plop down next to her. The bus driver screams at me, as well. I smile. I look around at all the empty seats on the bus and smile again. I can't believe I'm going to a senior's party tonight.

  When I arrive at school, I go into a full-on sprint to the bathroom. I push and shove everybody who is in my way. Once I make it to the bathroom, I sit down on the counter where all the sinks are. I open up my flip-phone and set an alarm for 11:30am (lunch time). I lay down across the counter, letting the grooves of the sinks hold me in a comfortable position. Finally, I can get some shut eye, and with that, I drifted into a deep sleep.

11:30am. The Magic School Bus theme song plays as my alarm goes off, waking me up. I roll over and see a girl standing over my body, staring at me as she breathes out of her mouth. "Can I help you?" I ask.

  The girl takes a few short minutes to respond and makes eye contact the entire time. "I've been waiting here since 9:00 to wash my hands." she replies in monotone.

  "Oh, sorry about that." I reply as I hop off the counter. When my feet hit the ground I accidentally fart. I immediately sprint away in embarrassment, however, I trip and fall as I run. My nose breaks as it hits the tile floor and I bleed like a faucet. Leaving everything I own behind, I run out of the bathroom. I attend lunch, blood soaked.

  Once I make it to the cafeteria, my face is completely covered in blood. I smile and get the butterflies as Dylan approaches me. "Hey, Nintendo Entertainment System." he greets me. I blush, but you can't tell because my face is completely covered in blood.

  "It's just Nintendo actually." I reply as I flutter my eyelashes, but you can't tell because they're completely covered in blood.

  "Hey, you got a little something..." he says with a wink as he brings up a napkin to my face. As soon as he wipes a small portion of my face it completely covers back up with blood. "Oh, you're still bleeding." he says slightly scared.

  "Sorry."

  "You wanna sit with me and my boyz? What do ya' think of that?" he offers kindly. Without answering, I walk straight over to his table, where all the jocks sit. I plop down and begin eating Dylan's sandwich. He runs towards me, trying to stop me but I eat faster than he runs. By the time he made it to the table, the entire sandwich was in my mouth and there's no stopping me. When I start truckin', I keep on truckin'. When I start something, I gotta finish it. There ain't no task in this world I won't finish. Once I start something, I finish it every time. I always finish what I've started, for example: when I start something, I gotta finish it.
