YAY! School is almost out! I'm so excited!

Sleep. The first thought in my waking moment. I need sleep. But I can't. I have my French exam today, have to turn in my history project. Have to finish my essay in English. Have to study forensics in science. Have to labor through another math lesson. Have to laugh with my friends. Cry for them. Feel animosity to my enemies.

I get up and shower, hoping the Thor water will wake me up, at least a little bit. Look through the closet, finding that Jaden only packed my tight shirts, skinny pants. I sigh and choose what seems to me the most innocent of what I have. I pull my hair back into a ponytail, too tired to do anything with it. I get a cup of coffee, hoping it'll get me through the day. Jaden comes down smirking.

"Happy with your wardrobe?"

"No, but not unhappy enough to go to my house."

At school, my friends bombard me with questions.

"Can I braid your hair?" Same answer as everyday, no.

"How's your dad?" Feeling parental.

"Has your mom recovered yet?" Ha, like I care.

"How's Jaden?" Being My boyfriend.

"YOU WANT MY HAIR?!" I scream as I rip out few pieces. "HERE, BRAID THAT! I DON'T CARE ABOUT MY MOM! I HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO MY DAD SINCE THURSDAY! WHY DON'T YOU ASK JADEN HOW HE'S FEELING, I DON'T KNOW!"

"Another outburst from Sara…" Ali mutters.

"YOU NEED A HUG!" Corinne says excitedly.

"I've grown my fingernails out longer." I tell her. This silences her.

Amelia hugs me anyway though. Until I pinch her arm. "Love ya too, Sara!" She says happily.

Ali starts talking about some new communicuff she's getting, and Eve excitedly chatters on about it too. Then the topic of marching band comes up. Every one is so excited that this year, younger students like us can join. I'm not joining though. Too… just… meh. Mimi starts talking about hetalia, some ancient art from before the dark days, and Eliz excitedly joins in. And I jog to my locker to escape the never ending tirade of voices. Charles meets me at my locker, having the one above mine.

"I can draw a narwhal!" He says.

I laugh, "I bet you'll show me in fifth!" Knowing he'll draw on my paper. "See ya then!"

"See you." He says.

The day is successful, for the most part. Finishing an English essay, check. Live through math class, check. Solve a crime for our crime unit in science, check. Turn in a social studies project, check. My day is finally over. What I didn't expect was my dad picking me up. I see his car, turn around, and walk to Jaden's house. I fall asleep easily.
