The Worst Day

It was the start of a normal Monday. The birds were chirping, and a certain "someone" awoke to find she was late again... But this time, she didn't rush downstairs screaming "Oh my God! I'm going to be late!" Instead she groaned, rolled over, and put her pillow over her head.

Shortly after, her mother came into her room. "Ichigo, honey, it's time for school." Ichigo once again groaned, but slowly got ready for school.

When she was ready, she became angry, and threw her non-working alarm clock at the chirping birds. Amazingly, the chirping stopped. "Much better." Ichigo muttered to herself.

((Downstairs))
"Time to bring the bin in." BANG! "Oh my." Ichigo's mom stood in mid-walk with the bin, and was staring at the ground where Ichigo's battered and broken alarm clock sat. Briiing. It now decided to go off, only to have a fish tank thrown onto it (The fish tank was empty.) but it still went on. Next was a computer monitor. Still the alarm clock went off. Until, of course, came the printer. There sat a bunch of broken and battered electronics. Then Sakura heard Ichigo's mobile ring. She didn't hear the conversation, but saw the phone thrown out the window, and a radio thrown on it. She sighed, and hoped the rubbish truck was coming around for a second load.

((Some time later))
"Hey mom…" Ichigo was mopey again.

"Ichigo, sweetheart… I know it'll be hard for you, but just try to avoid Ma-"
"DON'T SAY HIS NAME!"

"Uhh.. avoid.. that person.. and get through the day. Sorry honey."

"It's okay mom… I'll go…" 'But I don't have to be happy about it.' She added in her mind.

"Thank you."

So it was that Ichigo ate her breakfast ever so slowly, and turned up during the second class. It happened to be English. Something Ichigo was so very NOT in the mood for. But, alas, she stepped into the classroom. Everyone turned to look at her, and some snickered, seeing who it was. "Sorry for being late." She bowed slightly, and then went to take her seat. The teacher, in her head, fumed. But, being able to do nothing about it, she just continued on with her lesson. "I gather you have all read the book I gave to you last week?" She asked the whole class, but her eyes were on Ichigo. Yet, along with all the other students, she replied with a yes. Truthfully, Ichigo hadn't read it until she got home Saturday, trying to forget about the afternoon. Then, after awhile, she'd gotten really wrapped up in the book, and stayed up all night reading. Sitting in bed all day yesterday reading it. Finishing it at 1am this morning. Then she'd had all the memories of Saturday come back and slap her. Literally, because he had rung her. Miwa, sitting next to her, asked her unbelievably. "You actually read it!"
"Yes."

"Wow. Oh, by the way. I tried to call you when you weren't here, you didn't answer… Actually… It said that it couldn't connect to the phone…" Moe said.

"Uhh.. um, well about that… It's a long story that I seriously don't wanna get into right now."

"Okay.." Moe and Miwa both looked at each other and then shrugged. They would just ask her about it at lunch or recess then.

The bell rang for recess and Ichigo jumped up to leave, forgetting that in this class, you couldn't leave until you were told. The teacher pointed to her and yelled at her to sit down and stay behind. She didn't think of this as a burden, because she'd seen the look that said Moe and Miwa were asking her about Saturday now. She gladly accepted the detention. Like Miwa, the teacher asked her if she really read the book, and quizzed her when she said yes. When she got every question right, the teacher made her go get her a coffee.

Ichigo walked in an annoyed manner toward Art. She was late because the English teacher made her go get her, after the coffee, a cake, a biscuit, refill her coffee, her notes, her next class's homework, tea, ice cream, and finally a slice of a rich French Mud Cake. She then smirked as she thought of a "Which Seven Deadly Sin Are You?" quiz she had done on the computer once. She knew what that teacher would be. Gluttony. And she put her bag outside the classroom before getting out her stuff and going inside when the teacher asked "Where have you been?"

"Oh, I had detention with our English teacher."

"And your note…?"

"Right here." Ichigo reached into her pockets but it wasn't there so she started patting down al her other pockets. "Um, I know- it's here… somewhere!"

But finally, she gave up.

"I'm sorry, I must've dropped it."

"That's no excuse. I'll be seeing you for detention."

You know what? This just wasn't Ichigo's day.

But it passed slowly until she had detention again. She helped the art teacher clean supplies and the sink, and the desks and floor. Until, when there were only 10 minutes left, the English teacher came in and spoke quietly to the art teacher. But, due to her enhanced genes, Ichigo could hear what they were saying, although she didn't care to listen.

After awhile, the English teacher left and came over. "Now, Ichigo, I know there isn't long left, but your English teacher just told me she found your note while wandering somewhere." The art teacher smiled sheepishly.

"Is it possible you could, possibly, forgive me for this whole misunderstanding and, perhaps, I'll give you a canteen voucher or something…?"

Ichigo mumbled under her breath, "I'd rather you give me my lunch back." Though the teacher didn't hear, and she just settled for the canteen voucher.

"I know it's here somewhere!" The teacher said as Ichigo fidgeted, impatient. She had to get to work, but the teacher insisted he could find the voucher.

And when she finally found it and filled it out, Ichigo voiced her thanks before rushing out, just as her cell phone called. She picked up:

"Moshi mosh-"

"STRAWBERRY! GET HERE NOW!"

-Beep beep beep beep-

"-shi…"

Me: And I'm reallyyyyyy sorry for not updating anything – I just moved house and it's been hectic. Also, I started this, like, last year… so, um, yeah… Review please.

Oh, and I know it sucked.
