Dad.. Smh
Wednesday:I woke up, 5:40 sharp, bed head and all. I spotted my dad leaning on the door while my annoying alarm rang in the background. "Your pathetic" I groaned "you're adorable."
Apparently, my dad felt the need to call a day off from work and try to 'work out' our 'daughter and father relationship' and apparently my dad just HAD to do it on a school day and NOT on the weekends... Lucky me...
After brushing my teeth and... You know daily morning routines. Not explaining, don't even ask. Well, after all of that... In breakfast, "Look, after school and everything, you and I are going to have a father, daughter day. Okay? Rhetorical question, don't answer." Too bad. "Look," I mocked my dad "I just neglected you for a whole 16 years! Allowing you to feel unwanted and abused, but sure! The Past is passed right, let's kiss and makeup!" I gave him a big fake smile and returned to eating my cereal. "I did not neglect you, remember those phones, laptops, clothes, perfume, purses I can go on forever. My point is, who bought all of that huh? Your grandma? Your mother?" Dad retorted "What upsets me the most is that you think I'm so materialistic... But I need to ask you one thing. Who was there for my birthday, who was there for my ballet recital, my karate practices, heck! My 8th-grade graduation to high school! That's right! Not you!! You can buy me the world, but I bet you all the money I have that never ONCE would you be there to enjoy the world with me. I'm done. I'm so done. Good bye dad" I snapped. Once again stomping out the room ignoring him as he calls my name, I decided I'd walk to school today... Maybe some running.
School... Yay...
English, the first subject, Mrs. Reaks, oh my bad Mrs. Re-huh-z spelled Reahks... Like I care. And like that's any better...
Keeping my mind away from my personal issues... I paid close attention occasionally glancing at the clock every so often that caused this... " Ms. Carm- Cema -Camel!" Sigh.. Struggling with my name and calling me an animal, great, awesome. "To make sure you paid attention, incite a quote from Romeo and Juliet and what you think it means!" With her nose up all snobby like thinking, I'd get speechless. Ugh. Reaks.
"These violent... Delights have violent ends. And in their triumph die... Like fire and powder... Which, as they kiss, consume" " I think perhaps this sentence means that... Perhaps all good things must come to an end, the simile 'like fire and powder' maybe explaining their process of fading... As if it never happened..." "Interesting perspective... But not at all original" Mrs. REAKS commented with a grunt. "I'm sorry, I did as requested Mrs. Reahks, originality was not included, I can comment on kiss consume as well, kiss ...consume perhaps represents the thought of being left behind being unnoticed, due to how the character was too wrapped up in joy and happiness failing to realize it all may come to an end; Therefore, are blinded to see what was to come, resulting a major emotional outburst in the ending. I must refer to the direct wording... It could 'crash and burn" I replied, trying to be snotty. Some looked surprised, some didn't bother to even look. Mrs. Reahks appeared to have her panties in a twist, scowling and she sat back down and pressed play to the audible of Romeo and Juliet once again... I heard my neighbor snore a little...
As usually, we met at my locker and walked to the cafeteria. "Ugh. Ap biology is awful! I wish I never applied! I mean there was a big snore fest right in front of me! Ugh! Don't even get me started on the Expo!" Complained Fiona "you know, I'm actually feeling glad I didn't apply for any of those...." Remarked Jessica "English though! I can't believe I had I recite a line from Romeo and Juliet! It's bad enough my mom only bought the 1900s books for me to read. With Jane Austin books gah! It's like she wants me to become some hopeless romantic. With some sorta dream for a Mr. Darcy or Heathcliff!" I complained, "Who?" Chloe intercepted. "Pride and prejudice and Wuthering Heights" Oh... I'm not really a fan of old books their... " replied Chloe.
Cafeteria ...
" You know, I almost forgot, what's going on with you and um... Chloe's brother? What's his name...?" Fiona asked popping another green grape in her mouth. "Uh.... Oh yeah, Kevin..." It's been so long I totally forgot of the douchebag packages. Drake and Kevin.... Huh. I hear Chloe choke in the background. Clearing her throat, with a few extra coughs Chloe spoke. "My brother was feeling a little sick today so he couldn't make it. Not like it seemed you notice... But it is a little odd... Nobodies to each other one second and seeming to be obviously in "like" the next. What is going on?" "Oh! um, you know like-"
Drake saved me the lame excuse when he slid into the empty seat beside me "Hey-"No, no, no what was the number one rule we discussed hm?" "Well... it wasn't really a rule, more like a suggestion according to my book." "Nope, I'm pretty sure its a rule in my book." "Too bad, I'm a rule breaker, but let's not get heated here shall we? I'm here to ask about how did the conversation with Mr. Daddy go." "I don't see how that's any on your business." I snapped. "Woah woah calm down, Princess." "Look what happened with my dad and I are none of your concern, so either leave me alone or I punch you in the face. I don't need advice from anyone and certainly not from a guy like you. So, you can certainly forget about trying to get into my problems. Got that, okay, so go get yourself a red head to play with and leave me the hell alone." "Calm down, I was just asking geesh woman." "Well, you really shouldn't have asked." " Well you really shouldn't talk to your father that way but I'm not judging." That's it. I grabbed my water bottle and uncapped it. I poured the whole bottle worth of water on his whole body, throwing the empty bottle at his face. I smiled. "Have a nice lunch, you have a little something on your shirt." I turned back to my food ignoring the stares from my friends.
