"still nobody wants me" - nobody, mitski

Katelyn Sullivan

Well, today was shit. I woke up and the world was spinning. I hated it. It took about 20 minutes for it to stop. I finally got out of my room and my mom screamed at me complaining that I was lazy and taking too long as if it was my fault. After successfully resisting the urge to yell at her, I made myself waffles and sat down. We ate in mostly silence and the only sound was the tapping of my foot against the tiles. But I guess my mom just couldn't take it.

"Can you stop with your feet? This is what happens when you spend all day on your phone," she said—forgetting about my ADHD.  She loves to blame things on my phone.

So I finished my waffles as fast as possible and got out. School also sucked. When does it not? To start off my day Penelope was waiting for me at my locker. Penelope was the most popular girl in school. She was a total bitch but had millions of friends anyway because everyone was scared of her. I didn't want to know what she wanted but I couldn't go to class without my books.

"OMG Katelyn! Hi!" She paused and took in my outfit. I was a simple girl who wore simple clothes. An oversized zip-up, a graphic T, green cargo pants, my silver superstars, and my crochet locs in a ponytail. "Going for the simple look I see. I mean it's ok." I rolled my eyes. I could honestly care less about what she thought of me.

"Thanks, " I said. My voice dripping with sarcasm. She didn't seem to notice.

"So today I realized that I don't have your number bestie." I winced. Bestie? She made fun of my ADHD and dyslexia all the time.

"Probably because I didn't give it to you! Bestie." I said, mocking her high-pitched tone and enthusiasm.

I grabbed the rest of my books and left as quickly as possible.

"Sit with us at lunch?" She yelled after me.

I kept walking.

Hi. This is my first story I hope you like it! I absolutely love Percy Jackson so Katelyn is based on me. But anyway thank you for reading I will try to update as regularly as possible.
