It was a lovely spring morning spring Monday when my life changed. Of course the day started if normal I mean as normal as my life gets. Even thought the sun was out there was still quite a bit of a chill in the air I guess the wind was strong so I decided I might need a warmer outfit. I decided that a spring dress and cardigan would make do. How I longed to just be able to wear a tee-shirt and jeans but I was to be killed if I was caught in that. Young me looked through my closet and found only pink flower dresses. I sighed it is so disappointing all I ever wanted was to wear blue. I ended up deciding on a pink dress with blue flowers (all the other option had no sign of anything but pink and purple) and a yellow frilly cardigan. I dug through my bin of shoes and slipped in a pair of flats(surprise surprise these were also pink). Finally I pulled my hair into a pony tail I was not supposed to do this. I figured Devine wouldn't notice sense she was still asleep. I looked through the fridge for something to eat but like always it was empty.
Unfortunately she woke up completely hungover and walking like she was upside down. The first thing that she did when she saw me was rip the pony tail out of my hair. My scalp stung I should've known better. Devine said "it wasn't lady like or proper". My eyes started to water up and my face became very red. But I put up with it I was used to it. To be honest though all I really wanted is for her to love me. Of course the sane part of me knew this was never going to happen.
After Devine hobbled to the bathroom I picked the hair tie up of the floor and ran to my bus stop for fear of missing my bus. If I were to miss my bus I was sure to get into lots of trouble. The last thing that I wanted was more trouble. It seems as though no matter what I do there is some sorta way to kind something wrong with me. I stood at the bus stop for about four minutes before I got nervous that I had missed it. I waited at the corner bitting my nails till they were just stubs. It was a nervous habit that I don't know will ever go away. The bus ended up being ten minutes late and by then two of my fingers were bleeding like crazy. I was always prepared for this though because it happened so often. I unzipped my pink back pack and pulled out two bandaids. I put them around my finger and then attempted to zip my book bag back up. The zipper got caught on the bandaid wrapper and so I pulled harder. And harder. And harder. Then It snapped. I thought to my self oh no oh no I am going to be in so much trouble when I get home. (Of course I was not going to be home for a very long time, but I did not know this).
After two more stops my best friend Kelly got in the bus. The two of us were very close and we were also good friend with Kelsey but she did not ride the bus in the mornings. Kelly sat down next to me and looked at my backpack. Dismal filled her eyes.
"I'm so sorry Issi" she sighed
"It's ok" I managed "it's not the end of the world"
When it came to Devine I just might be. Tears started to fill my eyes for fear of what she might do to me. Kelly quickly caught on and decided to distract me.
"So" Kelly asked "did you see the newest episode of glitter force"
"No my bus got lost and I missed it"
"Oh that really sucks"
"I know right"
"You should come over to my house tonight and watch it my parents said you are always welcome"
Kelly's eyes were bursting with enthusiasm. She asked me because she knows I never do anything and my parents don't really care wear I am. We hung out with each other all the time.
"You know I am always free" I replied
We both burst out laughing. After a Minute two I finally managed to say.
"We could invite Kelsey. Wouldn't that be super fun"
"That sounds amazing let's do it" Kelly responded
I don't really remember what we talked about the rest of the car ride all I know is that I was super excited to go to Kelly's that night. (What I did not know is that I would never make it there.)
A couple of minutes later we arrived at school and ran to find Kelsey. The three of us then went into class early so I could get breakfast. Kelly and Kelsey never complained or asked for any of my food. They got a good breakfast at home and understood that I didn't get any. Today was lucky charms (no milk but I didn't mind).
"Yes thank you thank you thank you" I exclaimed to Ms.Smith. (She is the best teacher ever) Me being me still ended up giving my friend a couple of marshmallows each. And then shoveling down the rest before the school day started.
