Chapter Five

Have you ever had those moments where you just feel like giving up on life because of too much school work? I'm having one of those moments right now.

Classes resumed two weeks ago and I feel like it's draining the life out of me. Homework, projects, tests, plus extra curricular activities that just takes too much of my energy from me. I haven't been able to check on my account over at checkz for like a month now but I don't really care because as of now, I ain't got time for that.

I'm at the cafeteria with Monica and Kv right now because it's lunch time. The only time I actually enjoy in school. You wanna know why? Food. That's why.

We never bought lunch from the canteen before because it sucked balls but I guess puberty is starting to enter our system because we've been buying food even though it's crappy. Oh well. Beggars can't be choosers.

We went in line just like the others and chose our menu for the day. But since it's Thursday today, they're serving pasta. Which means carbonara for us baby! We paid for our dishes and got our utensils and sat down at our usual place, away from the people (Wow that makes us sound so antisocial).

"So Monx, how did your competition go?" Kv asked. Ahhh yes, Monica had a competition in swimming for the past three days and so she was excused from attending classes. Lucky bitch. She didn't get to take the test in Geometry. So much hate.

"It was good. I got three golds. Fifty meter freestyle, one hundred meter freestyle, and fifty meter back stroke. I also won two silvers. Relay medley and fifty meter breast stroke."

I'm not even surprised. She always wins. Like always. Even though sometimes she's lazy to go to training, she still manages to beat her competitors. She's so fucking talented in swimming like that.

We heard the first bell ring and headed straight to our respective classrooms. You see, we go to this exclusive private school in our town and every year we are re-sectioned so we can "mingle" or get to know our other batch mates. Monica and I are classmates, while Kv the loser is stuck in a different section. Ha ha. I laugh.

Monica and I reached our classroom just in time for first period and soon we were engrossed in chemistry class.

Yes, we are nerds. I know.

Before I knew it, the day was over and I was heading my way back home. I couldn't be more happier! Sweet, fast internet connection, unlimited food, my cozy bed. Ahhh heaven! This is all I ever want in life. Plus money. Loads of money. You can't survive for shit in this world without money.

I instantly fell on my bed the second I stepped into my bedroom. Mom went out again, god knows where she is, but I'm happy that I'm home alone. I can do whatever I want. I don't need to clean up after my mess, or wash the dishes right after I eat. I decided to do my homework first so I wouldn't have to cram the next day. I've been in that situation before where you copy your classmate's assignment five minutes before the teacher comes in, and I didn't like that shit. So now here I am, doing my homework like some good school girl.

Forty minutes later and a can of coke, I was finally done. I stood up and did a bit of stretching before I opened my laptop. I love watching YouTube videos, especially comical nonsense ones. There was this one video I watched where a girl got annoyed because she couldn't hit the right notes when she sings and then she threw a tantrum. It was fucking hilarious because she looked genuinely pissed and frustrated and it didn't help that she looked like that fat girl who bullies kids on the play ground.

I opened my subscriptions tab and saw that pewdiepie, thatcher joe, and Caspar Lee uploaded new videos! Yay! They're like my favorite youtubers besides Jenna Marbles and Tyler Oakley and Miranda Sings and wait... I'm just listing the whole of YouTube. Lol. Ooops, my bad. It's not my fault they're such talented people! They make me laugh and they entertain me with their video ideas.

I wish I could go to one of their conventions but... I live in a place where it's just not possible. Ugh. The downsides of living in a third world country. Not to put my nation down or anything, the Philippines is such a beautiful country, full of exotic plants and animals and even people! It would be a great place to explore, especially the beaches that can be found in our country since we're in the tropics, but I can't deny the fact that the progress of our country is slow especially because of the dishonest people who are ruling our country *sighs*. Well this is depressing.

Moving on!

"Romina you better get some sleep now! It's almost midnight and you have school tomorrow!" I heard my mom yell just as I was about to click on another video of a donkey. Great. The timing couldn't be more perfect! I reluctantly closed my laptop and put it on my desk. I am so gonna regret staying up late the next day...
