Everything was as I wanted it; happy family, great friends, love and kindness in my life...everything was perfect. Until it wasn't. That one fateful night that my dad blames himself for turned it all around in a snap, just like that. Then everything...
I cup my cheek as I try not to fall asleep in history class, the most boring class ever in the history of boring classes. Hayley's back and bright eyed and busy tailed while I'm over here exhausted. I stayed up really late texting Dylan, we were playing twenty questions and asked each other questions about each other. I really regret it. I'm gonna go home and take a nap after school, then I'll be myself again. I fix my dress to keep myself awake (see dress above) and start swinging my legs, watching my white lace flats move.

I cover my mouth as I yawn just as the bell rings. I gather my things and head out of the door and towards my locker to hurry up and get to the cafeteria.
"So you and Dylan huh?" Hayley asks as I open my locker and hang my backpack up and rub my forehead.
"Yeah he asked me out yesterday but I denied him because I didn't know him so we stayed up last night getting to know each other but now I'm wishing I went to sleep. I'm so tired." I close my locker and lean against it as I look at Hayley who smiles at me.
"That's fine, babes. Are you going to stay after school to watch my cheer tryouts?" I smile as I pat her cheek.
"Yeah, but don't try to get me to do any of that." I say as Hayley giggles and hooks her arm in mine and guides me towards the lunch room and through the lunch line before sitting at our table.
"You look awful Paisley. What happened to you?" Henry says as I sit down in my usual spot.
"Have you seen yourself everyday? You look worse than I do." I narrow my eyes.
"Nice to see you too, Paisley." Henry mumbles something under his breath as Hayley hits him in the ribs.
"D*mn Hayley, why so rough? Unless you're rough in bed then I'm completely fine with that." Henry winks at her as I snort before giggling which turned into laughing.
"Paisley are you okay?" Yogi asks as I cover my face and shake my head.
"She gets super giggly when she's extremely tired even if it's over nothing." Hayley says as I nod before taking a drink of water.
"Great." Henry and Yogi both say sarcastically as I narrow my eyes at them.
"Shut up you dummies. I wanna go home, it's nap time guys. Hey! I wonder what it'd be like to be Spongebob." I tap my chin as Henry, Hayley and Yogi all look at me like I'm crazy.
"I don't think she's okay." Yogi says as he stares at me.
"I'm perfectly fine, Yogi. Don't you worry about a thing, we'll make it out of here alive Captain. They can't keep us here forever, just have hope and it'll all work out in the end." I smile as I close my eyes as pat Yogi's cheek before cupping my cheek with my hand. Where's Patrick? I'm nothing without him! He's my best friend! It's always been Spomgebob and Patrick!
"Someone should take her home. She'll fall asleep during class and get in trouble and we all know how much she hates getting into trouble." Yogi says as I squint at him, trying so hard not to fall asleep.
