I'm in love

a day in the life

Nov, 1957

"Darling, get up  its your first day on a new school." I heard grandma say.

ugh great.  new school again.

I got suspended a week ago for punching a girl on the face.  out of this whole  year I've gone to at least 16  schools. I use to live in London, until me mom told me grandmother  that she didn't what to deal with me anymore, so she sent me here to Liverpool. i got to admit, I didn't like London because of mums boyfriend.

he did things to me that I don't like to talk about. I can't tell no one.

I have only been here for a month and I have to say, it's a lot different from where I use to live.  I use to live in the poor side of London, but here it's a lot cleaner and nicer.

I got  up and went to my bathroom to take a bath.

after I got out of the tub I put a towel around meself and left the bathroom.  I went  to my room and check my closet  to see what to put on. then grandma came in.

"no no no sweetheart you won't be wearing that" she said and closed my  closet.

"what do you mean?" I asked.

"you'll be wearing uniform"

my mouth was wide open. nope nope nope and nope,  I won't be wearing that. I will look like shit in this uniform.

"if you don't wear it no music for you." she said.

as you can see when she means music she means  I won't be playing  my  hofner.

"ugh ok fine." I said.  she left the room and  then I started putting my uniform. I put  on a  some spandex shorts. I have never put  dresses or skirts on.

I got my  old ripped up converse and put them on. I got me old  backpack and left my room. then I forgot something.  my pocket knife. I quickly ran back to my room and got it. I went downstairs and see pops  sitting on  in the dinning room. grandma was  cooking breakfast.  I went  in the dinning room took a seat.

"mourning pops" I said.

"mourning Lucy"  he said.

oh yeah I forgot, my name is Lucille  but I like to be called Lucy. anyways, back to reality.

grandma put a bowl of cereal and eggs in from of me.

"thanks grandma"

"you're welcome love"

"you look beautiful" pops said.

"yeah right I look like shit In this uniform" I said  before taking a bite of cereal. 

pops laughed.

"anyways, tonight is poker night so i was wondering if you would like to play?" pops asked me.

"yeah I would love to" I said.

"great .one of the players nephew's coming and I heard he's your age."
