"Umm, no, but I did try to."
And thank god I stopped myself. I can remember that day like it was yesterday. I had got off the bus, after having a crappy day at school. I failed a math test, and had been failing, because I just didn't care. My only friend on the bus was sick, so there I was, headphones in, listening to music, alone, while I can hear the laughter and screaming from the immature examples of seniors at the back of the bus. Wow, I can't remember the last time I laughed.
Just like that, those stupid thoughts crept into my head, as if they were waiting for a chance to pounce on me, a weakling. I don't remember them, I usually don't, because they disappear after they're done. I remember the tears started to form as a stupid slow song played, making me feel like I was in a very sappy movie from the 90's.
Trying to change the mood, I changed my playlist. I didn't see what I put on, but I couldn't understand anything this person was saying. Ah, I know now. "The Truth Untold". My friends were obsessed with this song, and I had to give them credit, they had some pretty good music, even though I can't understand what they are saying. This was the only song I listened to, because after that, the bus jolted to a stop.
I quickly threw my phone and earphones in my bag and was the first to get off the bus. That song did not help at all, but I couldn't even focus on what the song was about. I was walking home at the speed of light, tears threatening to roll down my face. I quickly unlocked the door, as I was the only one home, and just threw, and I mean threw my school bag on the ground, right at the banister of the staircase next to my front door. I sat down on those steps and cried my heart out. I don't know how long I was there. I couldn't stop the noise in my head. They were controlling me, and I was unknowingly accepting it. I finally just fell under a spell saying these words out loud.
"Wow, great job me. Another shitty day at school, and great job on that math test!! A 66? Your parents are sure gonna be proud! Oh and that boy, you did wonderful, he must totally like you." I could hear myself saying these words, thought it felt as if I wasn't
saying them. I had no control over my conscience, or my body either.
