Are you Scared?

Just a normal day

The last thing I remembered it was a normal day. I woke up to my alarm at 6:30 I wish I hadn't.. Then I got dressed and went downstairs to eat breakfast. Everything seemed normal as I poured my cereal into a bowl and shoveled it into my mouth while thoughts raced through my head. I thought about how much I didn't want to go to school I also thought about science class. I hate science class and not because I'm bad at it but because of my creepy teacher he always gave the girls in the class such good grades and gave them the favorite treatment but he was always so mean to the guys. He was especially nice to me and my friend. One time I saw Mr.Smith while I was at the mall with my friend He gave me and her an awkward smile as he walked up to us. "How's it going lady's" Mr.Smith said "Fine" me and my friend said eager to walk off. He made us so uncomfortable. "Fancy seeing you here" he said giving us a half hearted laugh. Uncomfortably me and my friend laughed. "Well we better get going" ( I said ) " Where are you guys off to in such a rush" Mr smith said adjusting his glasses and flattening his shirt against his tall slender body. I don't think he would be strong enough to hurt me and my friend but who knows. "We have to get going" My friend said "We are really busy" That was a flat out lie we had no where to go and our schedule was completely bare but I nodded more eager to leave we gave him an awkward wave and turned around and walked away. I was drifting further into my thoughts until I looked at the clock and noticed that I had twenty minutes until I needed to get on the bus. I grabbed my pair of favorite white sneakers and crammed them onto my feet they barely fit me My mom insisted that I buy new ones but they were the last thing my dad bought me before he left. I have no idea where he is now probably somewhere on a yacht while I'm stuck here in the same cruddy neighborhood. He doesn't even care enough to visit. not even on holidays . He'll send an occasional post card of him living it up at some party. That always made me so mad he says he has "no time" to visit me but he has enough time to go to party's and get completely wasted. My mom would stare at those postcards for 20 minutes straight and toss them over to me and say something like "If I look any longer I'll be sick take it away from me" But as soon as I did she would ask to see it again. I needed my dad in my life but he was very obviously happy with his new life style. Kid free and wife free he made no time for us He walked out when I was only seven and never looked back. As I tied up my laces tears started to well up in my eyes I wiped my eyes before the tears could fall down my cheek. With the same old beaten up hoodie sleeve I wore almost every week my mom barely went shopping she was running tight on money and needed to pay bills.New clothes was the last on her list. As I got onto the bus a whole new whirl of thoughts started to race through my head. I now started to think about my mom she had to work two different shifts to keep up with the bills. I insisted that she let me help out with the bills but she would always say "It's fine I can do it" She is beaten down and tired I don't know how much longer she is going to be able to handle the two shifts on her own. The bus came to a creaky stop. I didn't want to go to school but I didn't have a choice I dreaded going to science class. Well who am I kidding I dreaded every class in fact I dreaded every minute of my whole existence. My mom is constantly at work my dad left I live in a crappy neighborhood and only had a few good friends. Sometimes I wish I was on a hidden camera show where someone was going to jump out and say "congratulations your life doesn't actually suck" and everything was just a big prank my mom running low on money to pay bills my dad walking out. I wanted it to be a big prank but that was only in my dreams. The bus door opened and everyone filed out. Every step I felt more and more exhausted but reluctantly I made my way into the school.
