Nearly Over

Chapter-1 English class

Having something that makes you feel like your being controlled sucks, and the only thing it does is counting down, each second, tick, tick, tick....

It was weak really, I shouldn't feel like it controls me.

************

I heard the most annoying thing in the word... My mother

"Get up William!!"

I groaned, it was the last day of school until it was the Christmas holidays

Yay...

Christmas wasn't the best thing for me, never enjoyed it.

"WILLIAM" my mother scream storming into my room "get out of bed and get your ass to school!"

I waved her off, once she slammed the door shut I got up out of bed I was only wearing boxer shorts and when the cool breeze came from my window I shivered I found a shirt that was laying on my floor and put it on. I was about to have a shower when I heard a faint knock on my door.

"Come in!" I yelled making sure the person could hear

But it was only melody, my little sister.

"Mum yelled at me again" she cried, melody was only 5 and very sensitive.

"You know how she is in the mornings sis" I said reassuring her and giving her a hug.

She gave me a small smile and went and laid in my bed snuggling up in my blankets

"Mel I'm going to go have a shower, then I'm gonna wake you up cause you have to go to preschool alright?" I said she just gave me a nod and I knew she knew what I said so I left.

I turned the water to cold, praying that it'll wake me up even more. Once I stepped in the feeling of the water spraying on my back was good. It sure did wake me up.

After about half an hour I turned the water off and got out. I got dressed in black skinny jeans that were ripped at the knees and a white v-neck shirt I spotted the stupid thing printed on my arm and I wish I could just scrap it off.

Stupid, controlling thing.

I stepped out of my bathroom and found Mel in my bed sleeping I knew I had to wake her up for preschool and I hated knowing I had to, when I spotted the watch on mel's arm, I wanted to cry to be honest seeing that, thing, on her was depressing the most scary thing was. Melody only had till 23 to live her life.

I looked over at the clock and it was 7:30am I was always at school by 8:00am then I had a free hour to hang with my friends till school started. I walked over to Mel and sat on the bed I grabbed her shoulder lightly and shook her awake, she moaned

"I'm awake" she mumbled

"Good then get dressed" I said smiling she jumped out of my bed and ran to her room which was opposite mine I saw she had some neon pink skinny jeans that were ripped just like mine, I laughed cause she copied my style but I found it cute. She started looking through my draws and grabbed out one off my band shirts I still sat on the bed watching her get dressed, yep she could dress herself, she's been able to do it since she was 4 and a half, she put on the top first then the jeans tucking the shirt in so it didn't look like a dress instead. Mel stretched out her arms and did a twirl,

"Done" she said smiling for. Ear to ear.

"Great, ill grabbed you some breakfast on the was to school okay" I said

"Yay!! pancakes" she screamed, I laughed

"Yes so go get some shoes girly" I said holding her hand walking her down the stairs.

She grabbed her little black high tops that I brought her ages ago and put them on when she jumped up I looked around the room to find my mother.

Nothing.

"Mummy must be back in bed go buckle yourself up while I go tell her we are leaving" I said handing her my car keys, she just nodded and went out the front door I ran back up the stairs jumping over every second one, I knocked on my mothers door.

"What?!" is what I got as a response

"Me and Mel are leaving now" I yelled not opening the door.

"Whatever, leave!" she screamed

I signed.

"Goodbye mum, be carful"

I heard her grunt and I just left. I locked the front door behind me and found Mel strapped into her car seat waiting for me.

"Mummy alright?" melody asked.

"Yes Mel mummy's alright, just tired" I lied

She just gave me a small smile. I jumped into the drivers seat and started the car

I parked in mac Donald's and I unstrapped Mel from her car seat.

"Pancakes?" I asked

"You still need to ask?" she laughed she got pancakes every time, true though I don't know why I still asked.

"Alright" I said.

Walking into macdonalds was weird in a way I hadn't taking my sister to macdonalds for awhile course mum always wanted to drive her. We stepped into the line and patiently waited our turn. We our time did come me and Mel took one big step from we're we were standing to the counter and we both laughed I look at the women on the other side of the desk and she had an amused look on her face

"Hey there guys what can I get ya?" she asked. She had dark hair but pale skin. Dimples and freckles made her look a lot younger.

"Hey there" melody spoke "can I have pancakes" she chaired on " and my brother here-pointing to me- is single and would like a side of you" when I heard her say that I covered her mouth and just smiled.

"Well then you sure can have those pancakes cheeky, but what your brother wants hmmm I don't know" she said looking up and down my body. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Well darlin' my sister would love 3 pancakes and I would like an egg and bacon roll please" I said laughing through my words. My sister did this every time. And every time I would laugh. The girl on the other side laughed aswell

"Well you both can get what you want" she said smiling tapping a few buttons I gave her the money and waited on the other side of the counter for our food.

When it arrived we took a seat and quickly ate what we ordered and we both jumped into my car and I was off taking her to school, then taking myself to school.

*********

I was only a minute away from school when I saw my friend speed past me horking the car horn at me and waving.

I laughed and sped up. She reached the school first and I moaned that I wasn't first. I found a spot and I parked there I sat on the hood of my car and waited for her.

That's right my bestest friend in the whole world was a girl. And her name was Kristy.

I jumped when I heard her land in the hood of my car. She just laughed.

"Heyyyyy" she said extending the y

"Heyo" I said back

"Excited for English?" She asked me I just laughed

"Sooooooo excited, kris"

"Man you should be" she said getting off the hood of my car "c'mon" she singled me to come, I got off the car and followed her though the halls of the school, smelling fresh paint and sawdust coming from the maths area of the school.

"So how's your mum?" kris asked me

"She's fine, feeling sick this morning tho" I said back

"What about your sis?"

"Shes fine" I said

We entered our English class room and some kids were already I'm there we got our usual seat up the back and waited patiently for our teacher to come
