I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock.

Since I usually wake up at six, I should set an alarm for 5:45, 5:50, 5:55 then 6:00. Just to get the feeling of switching this shit off and go back to slumber.

My body is kinda sore, and I'm feeling so cold. I detached myself from my bed, I didn't feel the cold tiles like everyday. Fuck! Fuck!

I said hitting my head with the palm of my hand, I slept with my converse on and clothes on. I didn't even open the bed covers to get inside. I blame Zach, I'm gonna kill that bastard.

I get in the shower for my daily routine, after wrapping a towel around my body, I go back to my room. And it's a mess. So I decide to make my bed today, yipee! I did something. Great.

I decided yet again on a denim short- because really why should I bother- it was a little above my knees like all of them. And a black plain t.shirt, I contemplated on wearing sandals ha! And get expelled. I tied my maroon Vans and went downstairs.

"Sup Fo...rents. Hi Parents" I said, picking an apple while pouring cereal in a bowl.

"Good Morning Mckenzie how are you?" Dad greeted, "And I'm still wondering what you want" he didn't even look up from his paper.

Mom was packing lunchboxes while chuckling at me and ruffled my hair like a kid.

My parents were cool people, just a little intimidating at times.

"Mom, Dad" I said with my mouth full of Froot Loops, "can I please have my own car now, like please folks. I mean Mom and Dad I'm ready, plus how the fu..." *cough*cough* "how am I supposed to familiarize myself if you won't even let me touch your cars?"

Mom looked at Dad, they both didn't say anything. After a moment of silence, Dad got up, "let's go K-bear, before you get detention".

Really???? Seriously?? I talk to them about something so huge and none of them responds?? Are they bankrupt. I ask myself, a pang of worry hits me, then leave again - it can't be.

Maybe they just don't wanna buy me a goddam car then.

The ride to school was silent between us, only the radio was playing. We arrived and I got out as soon as the car came to a stop, Dad shouted "I love you" but I didn't respond. Taste your medicine Dad.

When I got to my locker, there was a stickynote on the outside. I flipped it off,

"Hi Mckenzie, would you like to hang out some time? Have coffee or something? If yes, please let me know. Harry" he left his number.

A date? Just coffee? His number? Harry THE Harry Harry Styles?? Couldn't be. Someone is pulling a prank on me I swear. Maybe Zach, that idiot!

Luckily I reach my first class without passing out on the corridors. Whew!! Three more days til' Friday.
