The Inner Monologue of Alex Law

Wednesday, September 6

Alex's P.O.V.

Today is possibly the worst day of my entire life. Not only am I late for school but I am starting a new one. What was its name again? oh yeah, Wintervale Academy. It seriously sounds like it's for the extremely wealthy doesn't it? I mean why name a school an academy if it's practically a normal high school? it's like they wer-

"Alex, you're going to be late, hurry up and come down already!" my mom yelled disrupting my inner monologue.

I kinda sorta forgot that today was even the day I was suppose to start school...I mean, who in this entire universe starts school on a wednesday in the middle of September?! Everyone has already settled, found their friends and to make it worse it's the second year of high school. Anyways...I actually need to go bathe right about now or else I might as well stay home today.

As I slowly dragged my body towards the bathroom for a much needed shower, at the corner of my eyes I caught a rat, a rat that was sadly related to me. She ran past me, right into my bathroom closing the door behind her.

She saw me coming, I know she did. I'm a little concerned as to why I'm saying this so calmly. THAT LITTLE RAT MACKENZIE IS IN MY BATHROOM! WHEN I'M SUPPOSE TO BE GETTING READY FOR SCHOOL!

*bang bang bang*

"Hey you little shit, what are you doing in there!? Get out now before I call mom!"

Nothing, literally silence. What the heck was she doing in there. Should she even be awake this early? I turned my head to look at the clock inside my room directly over my bed. IT'S 6:35!! what the heck, why am I this late!

*bang bang bang*

"GET OUT NOW! I WON'T TELL YOU AGA-"

The door swung open and she ran out so fast I couldn't even catch the little rascal. All I could hear was her annoying laugh and fairly faint footsteps as she went right back into her room and closed the door.

I slowly walked into the possible crime scene to find that my entire sink was ruined. By what you may ask, MY TOOTHPASTE!! She squeezed every single drop of my toothpaste into my sink, like are you kidding me!? and you know, as frustrated as I am, If I actually went and yelled at her, she would start crying and tell mom a whole different story from the truth.

I mean, you would probably think mom would actually completely believe me after a while but I kinda sorta ruined that for myself every time I would lie that I did nothing to her when I did.

I literally had no time to even get her reprimanded for this, I wasn't going to make it in time if I did. Luckily, I cleaned my sink yesterday after her last prank. I took a plastic bag and scooped it all up, brushed my teeth and got showered. I mean, is that nasty? I'm not even sure.

As I was leaving my bathroom, I caught a glimpse of Mack rushing out of my room back into hers. I don't even think I have time for her right now. Can she just chill for once? shit! she's so annoying!

By some sort of miracle, I arrived at school right on time for first period. It said I had Mr. Witter's math first which is in room 203. Why exactly was it way easier to find than I thought? I turned the corner and there it was. Don't these things normally make you have to talk to people? Why was it simple for me?! ugh!

Surprisingly the class was actually super nice, except for me introducing myself. I'm not shy or anything but I just don't like that sort of thing, I'd much rather people not know much about me.
