Don't fall

Chpt 9 : "Me" day

"Honestly, are you ever 'not' busy?" Brianne asks me un-patiently, hopping from one foot to another. She holds a pencil in her hand, rubbing it around between two fingers. I shake my head, "No. I'm always busy" I answer her, jokingly but honestly. I lean down and tie my shoe, which had come undone. I'm wearing light jeans with a black hoodie that says "Just do it, later". My sneakers are mint, as is my purse. (outfit above).

I sigh dramatically, "You ask a lot of annoying questions" I tell her, puffing my cheeks at her. She frowns, "you're coming tomorrow. Whether you like it or not. It's Friday. You'll have all weekend to do..whatever it is you do." she says sternly. I roll my eyes, "I can't" I tell her but she puts her hands over her ears, "I can't hear you! Glad you promised!" she goes running off, probably to go cause more trouble. I sigh heavily.

I walk over to my car, turning the ignition with my fingers crossed. It works. Sure, it takes 4 times, but it works. Today at school was boring. It was a normal, boring school day full of quizzes and snoring. I bite my cheek, driving home carefully. I'm worried my car is going to stop working while I'm driving.

But, I make it home in one piece. I walk inside the garage after putting away all of my stuff and I look around 'til I find what I was looking for. "hmm.." I mutter softly, looking around. It's been a long time since I've had it, so it makes sense that it was misplaced during the move.

"Ah!" I exclaim loudly, picking up my desired object. It's a black and pink longboard with scratches and stickers all over it. I put in my headphones, playing "Her name is Alice by Shinedown" and then I jump onto my board and go flying out of my garage. Sure, maybe it's selfish of me to tell Brianne I'm busy today, just so that I could go Long Boarding.. but whatever. I need to think. Plus, I don't want to see Quinn right now. I should ask him what his deal is.. but I don't want to socialize. You know those days when you just can't? Can't think, talk, or anything? Today's one of those days. I woke up, got ready and went straight to school, having a plain and boring day.

Now I just want to have a plain and boring time long boarding. I make my way down unknown streets, heading deeper into the cities heart. Shops surround me, as does people that jump out of my way. I make my way over to a toy shop, and walk in, my longboard tucked under my arm.

The walls of the store are a light purple, the floors a dark blue. Toys lay around everywhere, ranging from Stuffed Animals to Nerf Guns to Play-dough and Science Toys. I walk around, browsing through stuff that look slightly interesting. Then I find it. Slime. I pick out a galaxy slime, buying it and messing around with it immediately. The texture is slimy and slippery, it oozes through my fingers in a slow decent to the ground, but I don't let it fall. I smile to myself at the calming feeling of slime and then I hop on my board and continue riding down the street.

I walk into an ice-cream parlor, ordering a cone with my favorite ice-cream flavor on top, mint n' chocolate chip. Then I go outside and sit on a wooden bench whilst eating. I glance around, taking in everything while I lick my ice-cream. I stay for at least an hour, then I ride home.

Back in my room I change into some soft pjs and brush my teeth. I bury myself under my covers and within minutes I'm out, completely asleep. Comfy, I smile softly at the normality of my day.
