It was 7 a.m. Monday morning and too damn early to get up, school or otherwise related. That's why I wasn't going. And I didn't particularly like school. I would be sleeping somewhere once I left the house, maybe in a park or somewhere. Then, later this afternoon, I'd go over to Jason's and Thorn's. Jason and thorn was my boyfriend and Thorn was my girlfriend, Thorn Pearl. The name Pearl didn't fit her though. She was as spiky and bitchy as a thorn itself. But that's why we were together. Jason didn't mind I had a girlfriend and Thorn didn't mind I had a boyfriend. Yeah that's right I was bi.
A large black bird flew into my room and started pecking at my hand.
"Ow fuk," I said.
It was my sister Raven's bird Raven.
"Raven, get the hell off me," I told the bird.
Now I had little bite marks on my hands and arms as well as the cuts I had made earlier.
"Raven, your bird's in here again!" I called to my sister.
"Ok!" she called.
"You gotta get up ya got school!"
For those of us who go to school.
"I am up, Jennifer."
I then came out of my room.
"Ow jesus," I said, realising I had tripped over something on my way down the hall.
It was moonshine one of my sister Luna's cats. It had been sleeping in the middle of the floor. I got up from where I had landed on the floor and continued walking down the hall. I knocked on Luna's door.
"Luna, time to get up we got school in an hour!" I told her.
"I'm up Jen," she said.
On my way down the hall I tripped over Luna's other cat.
"Ow damn," I said.
"I nearly tripped over your cats, the both of them!" I called to Luna.
"Jennifer, no swearing," Mom called.
Yeah whatever. Like I really cared. I had bigger things to worry about such as getting the hell out of this house as soon as I possibly could.
"Yeah whatever."
We had a bit of an argument but that was nothing new. I grabbed my coat, keys and left, slamming the front door behind me.
