Hi there. My name is July Cornell. I am 15 years old and I live with my 11 brothers and sisters so we are constantly on each others asses. Fun, I know. In our huge house, we have about 40 bajillion rooms none of us can go into. Except for May. She's always got her foot up someone's ass. She is the least favorite in the house and probably the only reason we don't get away with shit. My best friends are June and December because they let me drag them into bullshit. They're my favorite people ever, I swear. June has this huge crush on this girl Skylar at our school and literally everyone knows it. Especially me. I had to go and smack the bejesus out of him to save Skylar the awkward conversation as to why he was staring at her in Chemistry, Poor thing. December has this god awful fuck boy boyfriend named Billy who stood her up on their first date to watch Bob's Burgers. To some degree, I don't even blame him! December is pretty weird sometimes. June and I are twins which is ok sometimes. Thank the O mighty lord up above that we aren't identical. He is short and has blond hair. I am slightly below average and have brown hair and am a girl. We both have blue grey eyes and have to wear glasses. I mean, personality wise we are basically the same person. December has brown hair just like I do but, has shit brown eyes that she hides using green coloured contacts. It's weird as fuck and doesn't even look natural at all, but you know she can do whatever she wants.
I'm not going to waste time talking about the other ass-violins I'm supposed to call siblings, yet, so we can just get on with the dirt at school or whatever. June and I have Chemistry first period so he gets to drool over Skylar like a complete idiot. I love him but there is such thing as too love sick. I just sit around and pretend to look at the board while ignoring all of the idiots in the class. That is, until I notice this guy. He's been there all year but I just now notice him. Actually, he's been here since like kindergarten. And he's not even shy or quiet. I just don't pay attention to shit heads in Chemistry class. I shoot a text to December. Apparently she's sitting in the bathroom stuffing her face with chocolate. Typical. She replies like ten different times about her shitty boyfriend. I tell her too drop his ass but he's "too perfect". Whatever.
"Hey, shitface. I'm going to go check up on December. Try not to drown Skylar in drool please?"
"Yeah yeah. Okay" he says, glancing at both me and Skylar with such bullshit wonder.
I excuse myself from class and sprint walk down to the bathrooms that December was in. I opened all of the stalls and found her sitting in the last one sobbing and eating chocolate on the toilet. Ahh yes, my sister, the icon.
"Buddy, listen. You have to stop doing this type of bullshit to yourself." I say, sitting on the piss-water soaked floor.
"But, but I l-lo-love himmmm ahhhhhhhhhhhhh" she starts to sob again. I'll be the first to say this, but she is an UGLY crier. Her face scrunches up like a tomato that's been out in the sun for a bit too long.
I roll my eyes and comfort her some more. Finally, after 15 minutes, I tell her we need to get back to our classes. Mostly because I think watching June gawk at Skylar is WAAAY more interesting than sitting here, and that says a lot. When I walk back into the classroom I see June sitting at his desk with his face in his hands with his head on the table.
"Oh my god June are you ok?!" I say in a concerning tone while throwing myself down into my seat
"She said no." he practically whispered. It sort of sounded like he had been crying.
"Alright bub." I say while ruffling his hair. He is so hopeless.
Around lunch time June was called to the Dean's office and so was March. March is a huge class clown and gets himself in trouble here and there. He has also managed to make a few teachers despise him along the way. I'll ask them about it later and get to work starting on my chemistry lab. My partner is this girl named Charlotte. She's new and seems pretty chill.
" Alright, hey man I'll see you tomorr-AGH" I hear a guy behind me and feel someone fall behind me, hitting me on their way down.
"Are you ok?" I ask to Nate, the guy I mentioned earlier. He just starts to laugh and pretty soon I'm laughing too, but only because he was. I reach my hand out to help him up, but a high-pitched girls shout stops me.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR'RE DOING WITH MY BOYFRIEND?"
"What do you mean?" I reply calm and collectively. I don't wanna start shit, but if this is how it is then...I mean?
"You were JUST talking to MY boyfriend, were you NOT?" this girl yells. By that time, almost everyone was staring in our direction.
"Nate fell, I just asked if he was ok and being the polite person I am, offered a hand." At this time, he had gotten up and was blushing a lot. He just looked around and tried to not make eye contact with this girl whose name I think is Isabella. Whatever her name is, she is one possessive fuck.
"OH he FELL. Alright then. Why are you cheating on me, Nate?" Isabella says, turning to him.
"Can we not do this now? I'm not even cheating on you. Chill out." He says rolling his eyes. I didn't want to stay here and witness this obviously embarrassing moment so I began to pick up my stuff and prepare to leave..
"Hey, Nate, I'll see you in Chem tomorrow." To really piss Isabella off, I touch his shoulder and smile.
"YOU FUCKING BITCH! AND YOU! YOU ARE CHEATING ON ME!"
I can only laugh as I walk away to find June.
My last period of the day is one of my favourite classes, ROTC. It's great. Anyway, we were running and I run WAY too fast. I end up lecturing my flight about running with fucked up everything. While we were running, I notice my squadron commander was H O T running and i wish I was running next to him. Not necessarily BECAUSE he was hot, but because he was running at a pace I could run at. We then play capture the flag.
"Autumn. We should sprint since there aren't too many people crowding around the ball"
"Uhhhh ok." she laughed and looks really nervous.
"3...2....1...GO!" I laugh and sprint across the field dodging everyone on my way. I finally reached circle where the balls are and grab one and try sprinting away to my side of the field.
"Throw the ball!"
I couldn't see who was yelling so I threw the ball somewhere in their general direction. In MIDAIR I locked my knees and land on my ankle.
"HOLY SHIT!" i whisper scream to myself.
"OH MY GOD!" my friend, Natalie, screeches. "ARE YOU OKAY?"
"Yeah," I say, trying to get up. I can't. "No I'm not"
"Javie. Wait here. JAVIE." she calls to my squadron commander.
"No Natalie, please don't."
Long story short, he, Natalie and this other kid are carrying me down to the ROTC room. It was so embarrassing. Javier, my squadron commander, and Natalie have my arms around their shoulders, nearly dislocating them, while the other guy has my legs. Without noticing, my hands accidentally touch Javier's which was very awkward.
"You guys don't have to do this." I say quietly. December and September pass me and start dying laughing and asked what happened. I told them wait til we get home if I even can get home.
We get to the room an they set me in a chair. Natalie and this other kid, bless his soul, he didn't have to do what he did, carrying my fat ass down to the ROTC classroom, run down to the health office.
"Are you ok?" Javier asks. I mean, he has a look of concern on his face so I guess he cares...I don't know.
"I think I'll be fine."
"What happened?"
"To be honest? I really don't know. I was running and I guess I locked my knees and fell on my ankle, so." I stutter trying not to sound like I don't know what I'm talking about. I felt like I was faking it and if I really tried I could have been able to stand and walk but I tried and couldn't.
"You'll be ok." He says with a tight smile.
"Thanks." I smile. His turns instantly genuine.
