Friday
I woke up with a start, with a feeling of euphoria gushing through my underdeveloped brain to my veins I was excited about today being a Friday.
Actually, I've been awake for a while now I was just expecting mom to come upstairs to my room with her usual rants on how late I'm gonna be for school.
The best part of my mom waking me up is her outfit it never gets old It just never tires me to see my mom smelling like breakfast in fact the whole house always has that breakfast scent.
Mom would come to my room in the morning in her all white and fluffy robe with a towel tightly securing her hair in place and best of all the tooth brush sticking out her mouth.
I went downstairs to check and I realized there are no waffles neither is there a hot coffee brewing loudly, no scrambled eggs. There was no sign of mom coming home yesterday.
Did she really spend the night with a guy? How disgusting. Anytime I look at my mom's innocent face and I realize what she has to do to have me I just feel like puking out my intestines. I better prepare my mind for a younger brother or sister I said with a scoff before leaving the kitchen.
Well I guess no breakfast for your ass.
"Since it's just 5:33am I better get some quality sleep before 7" I said to my self as I jumped on my bed and snuggled back into my mound of blankets and comforter hoping to get some sleep and ignore every coherent feeling of bloom.
After about five minutes of turning around and making a mess of the bed my mom always made for me I finally gave up on sleep. I sat upright as I shook my head exasperatedly deciding to watch Netflix to while away time.
I scrolled through the genres of movie displayed before me then I finally settled for a movie called THE NOTEBOOK.
I hope I find you amusing I said before slowly drifting off to sleep.

I groaned as I sat upright in my bed, I looked down at my disheveled clothes and my hair was also in a very bad ugly looking nest.
I turned around to check the clock that rested on my nightstand and threw my head back in exasperation.
9:05 am
I was already late and it's a fucking Friday.
'Voice why didn't you wake me you evil baby' I asked while putting my head in between my legs.
'Not a baby and you were finally sleeping so peacefully without no worries. Get your fucking ass to the shower right now'
I scoffed at the empty threat voice spat.
I vividly remember being late on my first day of sophomore year in high school, mom had a late shift at work and she woke up late. Her eyes threw daggers at me the moment she realized I was late she kept pacing my room like she was about to shit her pants. She definitely dented my floor that day. I laughed at the memory and tried to stand up, I left a sharp excruciating pain at my lower abdomen then I realized the wetness of my butt.
Shit !! It's here again thank heavens I'm not in school yet I checked my bed to see if I had stained it with my uninvited monthly menstrual flow. Luckily I hadn't.
I'm definitely not ready to go to school neither I'm I in a shape to stay in one piece for six hours.
Should I just ditch school today it's not like mom's gonna find out. I sat down on my bed and sprung up almost immediately after remembering I'm bleeding bloody Niagara From my baby maker.
Today's just great and fantastic. No mom now I'm late for school and bleeding like hell's about to loose, just awesome.
I honestly can't wait for the day to end.
'Come one April you got this, make momma proud' voice tried to encourage me to be human again.
"Haaaaargh fine" I yelled loudly while tugging my hair at the same time forcing myself out of bed and stumbling towards my small closet to pick an outfit that matches my mood and blood.

After showering and making a cup of hot coffee and scrambled eggs for my self I picked my bag and waddled off to the kitchen trust mom to get mad if I leave the plates here. She's a neat freak I wonder how I cope with her I'm the opposite of orderly.
I hummed a tune that always managed to soothe me trying to take my mind off how these fucking cramps were bothering me I popped an anvil into my mouth washing it down with water. I packed a couple of tampons and pain relieving pills into my bag. I'm not about to go to the school nurse for something so trivia.
I got to school at 10:14. I missed a lot of classes but it's definitely for the best.
I walked into the hallway desperately praying to be ignored and left alone by everyone.
"Looking good April" a jock that was propped up against a locker near mine with his dumb groupies, had gave me a flirty eyes which I obviously ignored.
"Thanks dan! Can't say the same for you" I said flatly. Dimwit I have a boyfriend and everyone in this school knows that including you so please leave me the fuck alone. I cried inwardly as I made my way to whatever class I had.
Trust people in my school not to mind their business phones were already held up from different angles and girls were giving dan nasty looks and glares.
It was like everyone was expecting Blair to miraculously appear and beat dan black blue so they can post it on their insta and TikTok.
Dan is the duckface fuckboy of our school being the typical jock that he was he abused his title of being a quarterback which earned him a lot of hatred from Blair. They were literally competing against each other in everything they do.
He used his duckface haircut and muscles to get girls, Sam included can't believe she fell for someone like dan who's brain was non existent and barely knew the difference between I'm and am, your and you're.
"Hey gee lets scoot, Blair is bound to get here soon. We'll get her later" one of his loyal pets said to him and they left which of course earned them a booooo From the preps, Hippies, geeks, nerds, skaters, slackers and every one raising a phone hoping for a fight to break out.
I turned around and saw some guys staring at me I quickly check my butt in a stylish manner to ensure I wasn't stained or anything cos that would circulate the gossip blogs well.
I'm fully aware of the fact that I'm yearned by many boys and I captivated the hearts of a few girls but I never paid any attention to them I'm here for solely education and maybe a little bit of depression and sulking over a girl that doesn't give two shits about me.

I pulled off my jacket as I took my seat at the extreme end of the class with my head down on the table it's a solid 90 degrees outside.
I was waiting for the next teacher to come in.
I woke up when I heard rustling around me, the next teacher just came in and painfully it was mr Olsen kiwi the weird man from Ohio.
The class started falling apart as some guys left the class with their girlfriends probably to go make out In one of the restroom stalls others just hissed and spoke inaudible words as they began to sleep and there was me at the back of the class impatiently praying for either Blair or Sam to walk in and share this hell with me.
Sincerely speaking ion even remember what Mr Olsen teaches again cos I'm mostly absent and I mistakenly attended his class today with the excruciating pains I'm feeling. Fuck cramps.
His class was the most boring since all we had to do was listen to him speak and give instructions for 40 minutes and read the fuck out of a textbook no one really interacts or replies him when he's talking. His class was a damn monologue. How I hate monologues.
After trying to stay awake and kept failing I decided to see what my friends were doing. Though I half expected them to be arguing and throwing shades at Sarah.
The group was surprisingly calm.
I went to the group.( Leslie, Sarah Jules, cal, Adam, Aron, Allen and April )
And yes that's the insane name Jules gave the group.
Me
Hey guys y'all still alive.
Cals
Pretty much, don't know about Sarah though.
Me
Y'all be roasting this girl unnecessarily.
Allen
Stfu April I missed you though.
Aron
We all do.
Sarah
Jules is moving to Newton with her siblings her sister has a Frnd named Emily that's gonna house the four of them for like two months before they find their way.
Cals

Jules
Smh 🤦♀️ just stfu Sarah and only talk when you are called.
Adam
@April my baby I missed you. You rarely pick my calls and reply my text.
Aron
Yeah @April you've grown distant this is like the first time in months since you've talked here.
Cals
She's sulking over a certain older girl
Leslie

Me
Cals !!!! You promised.
Aron
I thought Sarah and Leslie broke up like a month ago or so.
Jules
Yeah, what's she still doing here.
Cals
Remove her ASAP.
Allen
Guys don't be mean. Be heartless.
Allen
Why are y'all taking seconds to remove her... do it now !!!😫
Aron

After a wild night you guys drop real dead under alcohol. @April we miss you.
Jules

Sarah

Cals

Allen

Leslie

Aron
Not dumb enough to cheat on you like four times. She has even made a move on everyone in this group. She's a fucking Hoe !!!!
Allen

Me
Uhnmmm I have an overprotective mom and I go to something Called high school and I'm required to there for 6-7 hours 5 times a week of course I still drink that's what keeps me together and alive just moderately though.
Aron
For a minute there I thought you were about to say you quit alcohol.
Allen
If she does I'll re think my whole life and existence.
Cals
Honestly same here
Jules
You be drinking like there's no tomorrow.
Aron
How you manage to drive us home sane is still a mystery.
Me
Stop bad mouthing me it's not like I'm a heavy drinker or something.
Every one
Guy !!!!! You are.
Jules
@Leslie When are you introducing us to your new girl. I need to add her.
Cals

Me
Cals be having dirt on every one.
Cals

Adam
Don't go all sweet towards my girlfriend.
Cals

Every one except me
Yeah!!!!.
Jules
Yeah apes you didn't come visit the last time too hope you good.
Allen
Yeah even Sarah came.
Sarah
It was fun I wasn't treated like an outcast or anything April you need to come this time.
Adam
Annoying but she's right this time.
Jules
Y'all don't need to come this time except cals though. We are just going to newton for like 3 months we wanna settle in London then you guys can come.
Every one
Deal.
I left the group smiling they were still the same goofy set of people even though we are not all together I still feel their love and support towards me, can't say the same for Sarah since she has tired to get in the Pants of every one in our group.
And I actually talked to calliope when I felt down and surprisingly she was a great help she wasn't cold or annoying like she always was. She made me realize I was bi sexual or fully gay and I needed time to appreciate and accept my new sexuality or something like that.
I missed them so much they made summer worthwhile for me.
"April ?" I heard my name just when I thought I would sleep the rest of mr weirdo's class.
"Uhnmmm?" I responded raising my head towards where I heard the voice come.
A boy named dan the most annoying dog poop smiled at me and sat on the empty seat beside me gently placing his laptop on the table with a thud against the wood.
Wtf do you want. Guys are honestly a waste of time and space on earth they just never learn do they!!!! I cried inwardly desperately wishing for dan to disappear.
His Grey eyes sparkled mischievously as he turned in his seat to face me.
"Can I help you ?" My eyebrows raised expecting what he has to say before furrowing then in a gentle frown.
"Yes actually" he began as he sat upright probably preparing himself mentally like he was here to ask a girl to prom or something. "I don't seem to understand where this note was saved on my laptop can you borrow me yours" he stopped for a while searching my eyes but I said nothing still staring at him. "Can you please lend me your laptop after school" he asked and I still said nothing. "And probably give you a ride home" he added and finally completed the nonsense he was here to do.
I just stared at him. Boys just never learn cos are we just going to ignore the fact that all our school works and schedules for classes has been saved in the laptop the school gave us.
Boys are dumb seriously. Well not all boys but people like dan make me just wanna puke.
I blinked, unamused. I leaned forward with a smirk.
Dan smiled victoriously thinking he scored with his lame pickup line and dumb excuses.
I placed my hand to the far end of the table to grab his laptop and showed him where all our subjects has been saved then standing up just in time for the bell to ring gathered my things and left.
What a dumb little boy. Now where is Sam and Blair. Probably making out somewhere since we had mr Olsen.
Only voice knows how much I want Mr Olsen to get fired. His crabby, old, crusty ass needs to be gone. All the homework's he gives us and expects it done over night. He's just psychotic. He needs to be transferred to a morgue or anywhere near dead people clearly he can't handle the living. I hate him with burning passion. I lamented as I walked down the hallway to where my locker was.
I saw dan on my way and we stared at each other daggers being thrown. I definitely don't wanna be petty with him cos he's gonna mistake them for affection. He's tiny brain's gonna tell him I have a crush on him.
