Disconnected

Chapter 1

     I was working on a comic when my Aunt Stephanie came in carrying some hot chocolate. "I thought you might want this.." She says. I nod but continue working on my comic. "What ya working on there?" She asks leaning over, I see the hot chocolate making it's way to the edge of the cup. "You're gonna spill it.." I say tilting the cup so it won't spill.

     "Oh thanks..." she says, I nod and just go back to drawing. "Look... I need to tell you something.." she says sitting on my bed. I glance over to her a little. "I signed you up to go to the high school a couple block down...." she says looking at the mug. My eyes narrow, "why?" I ask. "Because I just want you to get a good education and you keep failing your online schools and I just want what's best for you..." she says.

     I nod and think, spinning my pencil in my fingers. "When?" I ask, "next week..." she says, "but there's no uniforms..." she adds quickly. "Okay...." I say quietly and go back to drawing. She sits down my hot cocoa on my desk then walks out the room. "She took that better than I thought she would..." I hear Aunt Stephanie say to Jacob outside my door.

     I sigh and then put on my headphones and start listening to some panic! At the disco. As I finish up my drawing I take a picture of it and upload it to my computer. I put it on the website where I've been selling all my art to make some extra money for Aunt Stephanie. She works so hard but her boss is such a jerk.

     I decided I wanted to do some 'research' on this high school I'm going to. I scroll down and see that they have an music and arts class. I scroll more and see more of sports than the more important stuff like calendars or something. "So it's one of those schools... perfect.." I say sarcastically.

    It was getting pretty late out so I decide to go to bed. I change and then put my headphones back on to listen to more music. I never take them off... well.. I dont wear them when i take showers of course, but my headphones are like my safe place you know?

    In the morning I woke up to Aunt Stephanie burning pancakes. I get the pan with a towel and then put it in the sink with the water running. "Be more careful..." I say quietly. I then walk back into my room to get ready for the day.

    As I was putting my shirt on I get a notification on my computer saying someone from the chatroom wants to talk. I sit down at my desk and type, "What's up?" after seeing it's my internet friend Alex. I then wait for a reply.

Alex: Oh hey...

Wendy: wyd?

Alex: being bored...

Wendy: Same..

Alex: I'm getting a lot of hate from people at school... it's really stressfull

Wendy: sorry XC but guess what?....I start real school next week...

Alex: That's weird because at my school we're suposed to be getting a new student next week... hopefully it's you. O//O

Wendy: Yeah same... O//O

Alex: I got to go.. Bus is almost here...

Wendy: Bye

Alex: Bye...

    I close the tab and start my day off by watching anime on my laptop. "I need to continue watching Fairy Tail.... Jacob is ahead of me already..." I say to myself. Til next time world... Internet here I come...
