Blurs mixed , hypnotizing me with the speed of cars passing busy streets outside the raindrop tinted window. Feather-like eyelids fluttering shut as tranquility washed over my tired state - yet that moment had been smashed with the meaty hands of my teacher as his voice interrupted my relaxation.

"I'm sorry Mr. Howell , is my lesson disturbing your nap?" , his thick-accented voice rang throughout the quietness of the classroom as daggers shot into me along with stares of other students as they turned to look at my unamused face.

"Actually sir , you were" , my smug look challenging the chubby teacher , "do you mind closing your smelly mouth for a few seconds , or perhaps use mouthwash next time you decide to talk with spit flying , just a tip."

I watched with innocent eyes as his face practically went red with anger , imaginary steam erupting from his ears. "out Howell" , his tired eyes shut as he rubbed his stressed temples.

"Gladly" , I left with a signal of my middle finger as I made my way out of the dreadful university.

Feet padding softly on moist cement , making my way toward the cozy coffee shop on 19th street , in an attempt to make the once horrid day lovely again. Tiny bell chatters sounded above my head as I had pushed the small glass door , the familiar scent of coffee and baked goods soon filling my nostrils delightfully.

" 'ello my love" , Dodie's sweet voice greeted my entry as I smiled at her with a nod. She rose an eyebrow at me suspiciously once she had taken a look at her small 'hello kitty' watch.

"Danny boy your supposed to be in class" , her voice laced with disappointment as she made a small 'hmph' noise before walking over to the expresso machine to make my usual order. I listened as her platform shoes made light clank noises along the wooden floors. A lovely smile was sent my way as she handed the hot cup toward me , once I had taken the warm object I turned to sit in a small booth in the far corner.

Heat flew upon the air up from the small cup as I waited for it to cool , in the meantime playing Tetris on my cheap phone.

ring ring ring

The noise interrupted my heated game as the familiar number flew across my cracked screen.

"Mum"

The contact name made a shiver spring down my bony spine before I reluctantly accepted the dreadful call.

"Hey mum" , the words were tight and scared as I awaited to hear her reasoning of calling me.

"Hello son , the family shall be having a dinner together" , her voice was sharp and filled with fake joy , "I thought I'd try to invite me son considering he's finally not a worthless human fully , atleast your in law school and for that I can brag."

Eyes automatically rolling at her reasoning of calling as she knew I'd rather be anywhere than the stupid school.

"I do-" , my voice was caught off by her snobby one. "Hopefully you got over that god-awful gay phase."

Numb fingers soon scrambling for the button to end the saddening call as a sigh left my pale lips.

Jesus fucking Christ
