Pieces

One

"Ouch!"
.. Yes I literally just tripped getting out of bed. Well could you really blame me? Who can really get out of bed properly at this time of day? It's about 5:30 in the morning.. I already know what you're thinking " Omg I could never get up that early!" Well when you have a head of hair.. Or naps.. Like mine it's going to take some serious taming time if you want to look even the slightest bit decent for school.

Luckily last night I built up the strength to do something to my hair. I decided to braid it up so that when I wake up all I would have to do is take them out and BAM curls galore. It actually turned out pretty legit for once.

I can't even stop staring at myself in the mirror. All the boys are going to want me. As if they all don't already now.. ( I wish). Anyways that's not the point of today. It's the first day of school. And this year is going to be different. It's time to focus on me, my dancing, friends..

My moms yelling pulls me out of my "Deep thinking".

"Ares get down here already! You're going to make us both late!"

Ugh. I literally haven't even put on my pants yet. "Ares!" She sounds pretty serious though so I rush to get down the stairs.

When I finally get to the bottom of the stairs my mom gives me a piece of toast that I don't even have time to eat. At least I know she cares. I guess. We rush into the car, but my mom, as usual, forgot her phone in the house and has to rush back in to go get it. I'm going to have to start just picking up her phone for her if this is going to be an every day problem. She eventually makes it back to the car and we are finally on our way to school.

Pulling up to the school I immediately begin to regret even waking up this morning.

"Have a great first day of school Ares!"

My mom tells me. Which honestly kind of helps in a weird way.

"Thanks mom. I guess I'll try."

As I get out of the car I can see my friend Kelly. Correction my best friend Kelly. I've never been so excited to see her, usually she really knows how to get on my nerves. But it's the first day of our junior year of high school. Finally upperclassman.

"Kelly!"

"Ares!"

We ran to hug each other as if were in a movie. Until we realized just how gay we looked. We wiped our selves off as if we were dusty. And then just gave each other regular hugs.

"Dude I missed you so much."

"Kelly you act like didn't just see each other last weekend."

".. Eh I guess you're right. But still!"

She gives me another tight hug and I can resist to hug her right back.

"Alright, alright."

I say as I end our hugging session.

"We've got to figure out our class arrangements."

I tell her.

"Right."

She agrees.

"Let's hurry up and get our schedules. The bell rings in like 15 minutes."

As I realize that's barely enough time I rush us both to the students lobby to get our schedules.

"Dang it's crowded in here."

Kelly says as if it weren't already obvious.

"Man Kels I could barely tell."
