Dreary Day

"Faline! FALINE!! get out of your bed."Mum yells as she abruptly pulls the blanket above me.

"Just Five more minutes mom, please!" I plead trying to get hold of my blanket again.

"Faline you've been saying that for the last twenty minutes, if you don't leave your bed now you'll miss your school. Just get up!"

"OK" I say as I sit up and try to make sense of the world. Who am I, and where do I have to go? School. Right. But why? Why do anyone need to go anywhere? Why can't we just sleep all day!

I half heartedly leave the bed ,and begin my morning routine which isn't something complicated, I just brush my teeth, take a shower, and wear what I see first I'm not a fashionista. In fact, fashion is the word I've just learned. But every morning this simple morning routine is the hardest thing for me to do.

"Faline you're breakfast is ready!" Mum yells

"Coming!" I say. How can she have so much energy so early in the morning!

I slowly get the things done and stand before the mirror have a final look on what I look like before I leave for the day. I usually skip this step, because it ruins my mood but today I've a bit of time left plus I'm wearing a new shirt I just bought, and I wanna know if it's matches my jeans or not. It's the least I can do.

And Great! It looks good. My white T-shirt with a black kitten on it shining against my navy blue pants.

But wait no! I've got a new pimple right at my forehead. I walk a bit closer to the mirror to examine weather I can do something about it or not, but apparently I can't. It's huge, if I'll try to pop it, it may start to bleed. I can't risk it .I'll look worse! also popping pimples leads to more pimples, unfortunately I have to go like this.

"Faline you're breakfast is getting cold" mom yells again.

"coming" I say. I pick up my bag and leave my room half heartedly. I wish I could take a leave today, but mom will not allow it. But I also don't want kuzon to see me like this. God what should I do!

"You look worried" Mom says as I enter the kitchen.

"Nah, I'm fine" I fake a smile and heavily sit on the dining chair and throw my bag on the table. A plate of perfectly stacked pancakes sit before me and the aroma makes me loose all my worries momentarily

"Oh thanks mom!" I chirp and gulp a huge chunk and feel the flavors bursting in my mouth.

"Welcome!" she smiled and went on to cook more for me because she knows I always have a little bit extra pankes.

I eat till I couldn't . And as I am done I grab my bag, kiss my mom goodbye and leave for school. The walk is delightful. Sunlight is warm and bright with cool soft zephyr rushing against my cheeks as I walk ahead.

I merrily frolic my way until anxiety attacks me again. In ten minutes I'll be in class and he will be there, and he'll realize I'm uglier than he thought. What should I do? Should I run away and cut classes? I can't cut classes I've to receive important assignments today. And above all what am I worrying so much for? it's not like kuzon will ever like me back.I already have zero chance with him, the worse that could happen is my chances will go negative, and at the end of the day won't make any difference. I guess I'm getting worked up over nothing.

As my internal debate ends I realize I've entered the school premises. Hallways are crowed and chaotic as usual and so is my classroom. I see Mikan, my only friend sitting at the back of the classroom scribbling something on her notebook. She's quite focused even in this mayhem, must be yesterday's homework.

"Completing homework are we?" I ask sitting next to her

"Yup, are you done with it?" she asks

"I am" I announce with a smile.

"Wait a minute, God what's that on you're forehead!" she gasps

"well ,thats a symbolic representation of what a disaster my life is"

She gives me a sympathetic smile and puts her hand over my shoulder

"Don't worry he's sitting at the other side of the class, just low you're head and don't leave your seat, he'll not notice" she adds

"Of course I'm the last thing he'll ever notice, besides even if he does it's not like I'm going to lose anything."

"Believe in miracles girl!"

"Just do your homework crackhead!"
