Bad Day

     I woke up from the sound of alarm, fucking beeper won't stop unless i manually turn it off, as i try to get up i realize there is a girl next to me sleeping tightly on my arm, Sophie, she's a year younger than me but she know's what she want's, even if she is searching for it with the wrong guy. I lightly shake her "get up... i got to go, and so do you." she barely looked at me "why? lets just lie here a bit", i fucking knew it "can't, get up, go wash your face and leave. Now." she knew i wasn't joking and so she got up and went to the bathroom, i just turned the damned beeper off, and of course i'm pissed off right now, all because of Sophie...

     As i put on my jeans i heard the door slam, must be Sophie, finally left. Don't have to listen to her boring stories that are funny only to her... In the dinning room i saw only one plate covered by a plastic bag and a note next to it. i threw the note, i already knew what is written on it. Cold. Fucking food is cold again. 

     A shirt and i'm out the door, i just closed them, not like anyone's got anything to steal anyway. Slowly started walking to school, put my earphones on, cranked the music to the max, lit a cigarette and kept walking.

     I didn't introduce myself, i'm Stephen, i'm 18, and i hate this town and just about everyone in it. I'm your basic punk. I skip school, drink, smoke weed, all the good stuff in life. I don't really love anyone, well love love, i do love some people, but platonically, there were times i wondered if what i was feeling was love, but mostly its just lust. I live with my mother and any passing guys she brings home, or girls that i do, we have a complicated relationship, ever since by brother passed away and my father left us. 

     I'm here, school, honestly i came just to see who is here, John, my so called childhood friend "have you heard?" i just looked at him, didn't have the strenght to talk, still too annoyed at Sophie, "We have ourselves a new transfer student... And it looks like its a girl." I didn't really care much but i continued simply to humor him "Well if it looks like a girl than she must be something else" i continued walking and he went by my side, "Yeah, she is, rumor has it she came here to be with her boyfriend, who is actually older a few years than us", "yeah, sure... A girl, plus if shes as beautiful as you say, would never move for a guy, that is just nonsense" i said as we sat in the last row. "Fine... We'll see wont we" and he just kept quiet looking at his phone.

     i slept the whole class, John woke me up when it was over, he said "lets roll man, we are skipping the second class all together", sure i didn't mind so i went along "sure, where you  wanna go?", he was looking at me very excited "this new place just opened just across the street from here, lets go get a drink", i could do coffee right now, i am exhausted after sleeping the whole class "only if you got some cigarettes, i'm all out", he replied while picking up hes bag "sure... lets go now teacher is about to come!", i just got up, didn't even respond why bother.

     Just in front of the cafe of a bar or some mix of the two i heard a voice calling me "Stephen. Hey Stephen wait for me." of course it had to be fucking Sophie, "Hey, what do you want..." i asked her hoping she would understand by the sound of my voice i don't want her around, she didn't "You guys going to this new cafe, i heard its awesome, and i'm meeting The Transfer student here, you know the one in all the rumors", i saw it in Johns eyes, there was no way out, now we had to be with her. "How do you know her?" John asked while hes eyes glared at Sophie like she was a miracle, "She is an old friend" guess she doesn't  want to tell us, i could get it out of her but i'm all out of energy. "Fine... Lets just go sit inside..."

     We found a booth, Sophie texted the girl to find us here, than she put the phone away and wrapped around me like a snake. Waiter came to take our order John had taken a Beer, Sophie taken some shake thingy, and of course i had taken coffee and a glass of vodka, just to wake me up. Thirty minutes of small talk later Sophie's phone ringed, i didn't have time to see who it was, she went out to get someone. A girl walking besides her... it was Lucy, my first love... i heard many stories about her, but i was thinking she was dead, after all kids don't move away without there parents. I drank the vodka and went out without saying a word, i just waved to John, he didn't reply, he knew i had already had a bad day even before this...
