7:30 A.M the sounds of students flooding the hallways, different groups of friends telling each other what they did over the summer, while others were having a who's got a bigger dick competition, papers were flying, and girls were talking at octaves louder then an opera singer could probably reach, well you get the picture. I on the other hand was lost in my own thoughts after hurrying out the side door to the garage, my parents to busy arguing and throwing jabs about my dad sleeping with her yoga instructor to notice, I couldn't understand why they didn't just get a devorce saving themselves the energy of waking up next to each other.
Luckily I was popped back into reality by the ring of the first bell, I opened my locker tossing my Walmart brand black backpack and gym clothes inside, Milly scaring the piss out of me when she walked up shouting her good mornings in her usual chipper tone, that in my case should be considered a felony this early, Noah behind her towered over the both of us in her normal exact opposite to Milly's chipper upbeat attitude, with her oh so casual gloomy demeanour.
"Good morning beautiful! Why so glum chum" Milly chimed her baby blues glowing with over excitement, already making me feel exhausted causing the fear of inevitability to eventually return back to the shit hole i can only call a 'home' slip from my mind even if momentarily.
"Hi... I'm not... glum?... never mind." I gave myself a mental shake and closed my locker after grabbing my math and history books along with my binder. Ironically enough Milly's abnormal chipper persona brought a sense of comfort whenever she's around. "But this, my wonderfully bubbly friend just happens to be the face I am stuck with, nothing unusual about that"
"Its your parents again isn't it." Milly frowned and looked like she was staring at a wounded animal in need of coddling, making me get annoyed.
"Isn't it always?" Noah spoke up putting his phone back in his pocket. "Your of age to move out on your own. you could just leave if it's such a shit show?"
"Oh i don't know maybe because i don't have a car, or job, or money to get my own place?!" I sighed and started walking to my first class Milly and Noah walking close behind. "Sorry I don't mean to sound so bitchy."
"Don't worry about it, your emotions are valid Bestie!" She smiled catching up with me linking her arm with mine.
"If its a job you need i can hook you up with one, my older cousins job is hiring new part timers right now." Noah said already writing down a number for me to call before i could object to the idea. "Just bring in your Résumé and you should be fine."
"Yeah cause its that easy..." i muttered taking the paper reluctantly.
"if anything i can try and put in a good word for you" Milly said. "I used to work there, everytime I bump into my ex boss she's always asking me to come back"
Noah sighed. "She's just being polite, you sucked at that job"
"Hey, I resent that..." she glowered.
"I would still need to save up to find a place that I could afford. Babysitting and the part time job at the grocery store still isn't enough. Also I would still need a car" I groaned all the problems piling up. "What makes you think getting paid fifteen dollars an hour would make a difference?"
"It's better then nothing and living with crappy parents who do nothing but bicker all the time" Noah chimed in her hands in her pockets looking forward as we walked.
"She's not wrong, you know she isn't." Milly said.
"I know... thanks I'll bring it in during lunch break" I gave a short sigh hurrying to class after the final bell for first period began.l giving them both looks of thanks, before preparing to enter my inevitable doom.
