Supposed to be a short story butttt I guess I could keep going. If you want me to update often, would you be okay with shorter chapters? or would you prefer longer ones and post less often. Let me know in the comments or shoot me a message.

The Next Day...

When I got home last night, all I could think about was my teacher. Did any of that actually happen?! It was like a dream come true! Besides it being cut short obviously.

All that was on my mind was what tomorrow would be like. I laid on my bed for hours just thinking of what could go down. I debated if I should pick an outfit out or if I should wear my normal attire. Eventually, I managed to pass out and wake up to my alarm. I groggily awoke from my deep sleep, the early sunrise peered into my window and made it feel warmer than it was. I rolled over to grab my phone from my desk when the alarm notification was swiped away, My eyes flew open when I saw the time. Somehow I hadn't clued in right away it was the next morning.  I shot up from my bed and rubbed my eyes. This couldn't be happening. I didn't just pass out in yesterday's clothes and makeup. Goddammit!

I jumped up and ran toward my joined bathroom to do a quick wipe of my mascara, then hop into the shower for a quick wash. Once out, I scrambled to dry my hair and apply my basic makeup. A quick cote of makeup and the occasional tinted SPF. I mentally cursed myself out for not picking out an outfit for today beforehand like I always did. Rummaging through my closet; I found nothing that caught my eye, my panic grew when I checked the time again. It was already eight minutes past the time I usually leave.

I was in desperate need of more time.

I ended up throwing on a soft grey long sleeve and a black puffer vest to keep me warm. My typical black skinny jeans saving the day by matching everything I own.

Today was going to be a rough day.

As predicted, I arrived twenty minutes late to class. If people only knew how to park properly, I would have been able to find a parking spot earlier! I showed up to the first block of the day, Ms.Drew; My Digital design teacher gave me detention for being a disruption to the class. Apparently, you can't enter a classroom twenty minutes late and be unnoticed. After that, she made me come in during the break and catch up on the lesson I missed. The day had drug-on and only set me up for more failure.

Once finished with my useless lesson with Ms.Drew, she told me to come to room 619 for my detention. The little hate I had toward this woman was now doubled. I was always on time, always paying attention, and handing everything in on time. The one time I come in late and she gives me detention.

Instead of dwelling for the day to end, I walked just down the street to a small cafe. It was lunchtime so it was a little busy. I had more time than usual to pick out what I wanted, which helped me out a lot. I've always found it so hard just to choose one thing when everything looks n' smells delicious. It could also be my stomach talking... I guess I never had breakfast.

Eventually, the line got smaller, and my decision for what to get narrowed down to a cream cheese bagel and a Steeped Tea. I looked at the Daily special board and read they were serving 'Little cup of Italy'. I wonder if Na- Mr.Gardner would like that? When I approached the lady at the counter, she shined a white smile and asked for my order. I asked for my bagel and tea but stood for a moment and debated the Italian drink.

"If you're wondering about the 'Little cup of Italy, It isn't really a little cup... more like an average-sized cup filled with delicious Italian crafted beans."

I looked at the lady to see her smile never leaving. She really knew how to sell a drink huh...

"Sounds amazing, I would like a medium of that as well please."
