Summer's mistakes

20|Lazy bones

"Valentina wake up you're late," Jasmine yelled while shaking me persistently. I had just been woken up and I so tired.

"5 more minutes," I said sleepily.

"No cause we have to leave in 25 minutes." She said trying to remove the blankets from my grip. "You should have gone to sleep when we got home if you were that tired, instead of scrolling through Instagram pictures."

"I wasn't! I was scrolling through memes actually," I said sassily.

"Okay, missy if you have enough energy to argue with me, you have enough to get out of bed." She said in the same sassy tone. I ignored her and turned over so I was not facing her. "Okay, you have 10 seconds to get out of that bed before I get the bucket of cold water." She said sternly.

"10, 9, 8, 7," I knew from her tone that she was not joking around and that if I didn't move my ass in. How long? "4, 3,"
I shoot out of bed and went into the bathroom and did my morning routine quickly. In about 10 minutes I was finished. I grabbed my phone and my bag and headed to the kitchen.

I saw Jasmine eating while watching t.v and a plate of food waiting for me. "Morning Jas," I said "Thanks for the food," I said grabbing my food and sitting next to her.

"Your hormones are driving me crazy, anyways morning. "She sighed tiredly. I held my urge to laugh at how trying to wake me up seemed like a very tiring experience. I finished it took me and Jas' plates and put them in the dishwasher ready to wash later on. "Are you ready to go Val?" Jas asked when we were all finished eating.

"Yeah, today will be a good day, right?" I then remembered we had to finish the group project. "Fuck it, I take it back, we have the group project again." I sighed.

Jasmine then started laughing. "Your mood swings are too much." She laughed as I quickly took my tablets before glaring at her since she was still laughing. "Okay, okay no need to glare at me as if I'm your worst enemy." She then dragged me out of the house. We then got on a bus and rode the whole way to school.

My lessons went relatively quick. I laughed just thinking about the way in psychology Jasmine nearly fell off her chair when our teacher unexpectedly put a picture of the brain on the board. You would think by now nearly the end of the second year she would be used to such things, I guess not. To make my day better at lunch, Jas spotted the girl who spilt soda all over me.

Well, Jasmine got the same soda and poured it on her brand new white shirt that she had been showing off about to all her friends. To say I laughed would be an understatement, I nearly pissed myself. Especially, when the girl became even redder than the stain on her shirt. And the Jasmine gave her a sarcastic "Oops my bad... but red really is a good colour on you." She looked furious, but hey karma is a bitch. Yeah, so it had been a really good day.

School was soon over, I and Jas left and got on the bus. "Uggh" I sighed dramatically.

"Come on Val we have drama once a fortnight and it isn't today." She laughed.

"No that's music." I protested.

"No we have music every week, wow you still don't know your own timetable." She shocks her head dramatically.

"Oh, I guess not." I sighed

"Why are you being dramatic anyways?" She asked.

"I'm getting kicked by my little one." I smiled looking at my tummy.

"Hasn't that been going on a long time though?"

"Yeah, but it used to be light kicks now I can feel the kicks of my little one expectedly and it hurts sometimes." I held my tummy feeling the kicks of my little one.

Jasmine had just taken pictures of me holding my tummy. "It's gonna be my one lock screen." She smiled.

"You can be so cringy sometimes." I laughed while looking at the photo. It has been really hard to hide the fact that I'm pregnant from people especially now when it's starting to show more. I have to always wear an oversized top or something similar to that, so I don't get found out. I guess I don't want my baby to be called a 'mistake'. I am old enough to have children so being pregnant shouldn't be such a big thing.

But, labels that everyone is given means my baby would be classed as a mistake but no-one can ever be classed as a mistake. God brought every single one of you onto earth for a reason. Whether your parents intended it or not, and the same goes for my child. I might not have intended to have a child just yet but now that my baby is growing in me day by day I wouldn't change that for the world. I have made many mistakes and my mistakes nearly ended up with me hurting me and my child, but now I have someone to protect and love with all my heart.

We got off the bus and into the cafe once again everyone was waiting for us. "Hello, we haven't missed anything?" I asked as we sat down.

"No," Emily replied."We wouldn't start without you." She smiled and I gave her a small smile back.

"Okay, then we should all just continue with what we were doing yesterday." Ray said and everyone nodded."Does anyone want a drink?" He then asked.

"Yeah, a bottle of water please, thanks," I asked and he nodded.

"Make that two," Jasmine said but her usual tone was gone and she had an icy tone, which sent chills down my spine. I stopped listening after that and went back to summarise all the information I was given, typing it onto my laptop and editing other people ideas to make sure our presentation was perfect. Everyone worked well, so well that today Aleah didn't throw me any shade or Jas for that matter.

But a piece of me broke when I saw Andrew looking at me when I was speaking. He was looking at me and I could tell he was hurting, that just the sound of my voice was killing him. When I looked him in the eyes he immediately looked away and at that moment, I wanted to shout 'I love you' and I wanted him to hold me and say the same.

Fucking hormones.

Thank you for reading, hope you enjoyed it, loves bye bye <3
