The Mistakes We Make

You've Gotta Be Kidding Me

      I thought it was a dream...but I never woke up .The last thing I remember was laying in my bed staring at the ceiling and then I guess I drifted off into a deep sleep and that's when this crazy hell of a dream happened. But before I get too into it lemme start from the beginning.

My alarm woke me up singing the catchy tunes of some random pop songs automatically came on the radio, I've always loved those songs (the ones that get stuck in your head all day and won't go away no matter what you do).I was super excited to get up today because not only was it Friday but I heard that my crush,Croix in which I have liked FOREVER was going to ask me out. Me and him have been friends since grade school and he recently has been acting differently around me.  I'm not making any of this up either I mean I've been hearing it all over the school that he's gonna ask me out. I looked through my closet,ALL of my clothes make me look fat . OKAY...its 2018 so I guess the correct word is thick .I guess it's better than fat . I pull out my cutest outfit which is the color of cough medicine , I shoulda done the laundry yesterday . I search my room for my makeup case that my mom bought me for my birthday last Christmas ." God I could've sworn that I put it under this pile of clothes." I never wear makeup because I'm a lazy person who likes to be comfortable and every time I try to put on makeup I end up rubbing off off as soon as I put it on. I was watching 'how to' videos on makeup for hours last night...hopefully this will pay off . Just as I was about to try to apply my foundation,

 I just happen to glance over my shoulder and see that I was out of time for getting ready , I  really had to wrap it up if I wanted to make it to school at all. I brush  my teeth and run out the door to find out that its raining..."Gotta make it , Gotta make it."  I chant as I run down my once dirt, now mud road.When I make it to my bus stop I see that my bus is already driving down my road. They already picked up the kids. Crap! I look and see my neighbor Sandy getting into her car and I do something that I've never done before. I asked her if she could drive me to school and I never actually thought that I would ever talk to Sandy because she's (a lot more than) a little crazy . I sit shotgun in her little car that is older than the Queen of England and I sit in something wet and squishy . I try not to make a face but I'm crying internally. I look over at Sandy and she hasn't even pulled out of the driveway yet. She just stares at me smiling in a really creepy way until I remind her that it would be Hella nice if she drove me to school.

When we got out into the road , the traffic was backed up like it always it when it rains because everyone in this little town that I live in is afraid of a little water I guess . Right now I have five minutes until I'm late to class I'm not gonna have any time before first period to talk to Croix. When I get to the school I run out of the car and don't look back . I feel kinda sorry for not thanking her. I hope the wet stuff that I sat on has dried up or at least won't show up or smell. I try to get to my class as fast as I can and right before I walk into the door I smooth my hair down. "You can do this Alayna . "
