1 Here's Dracula!
I honestly don't know how I managed to fuck up this bad but then again I'm not very surprised with my shit luck. So let's do a quick recap of this months BS events to see were the hell I went wrong. Que the past memory music track.
~BEEP~BEEP~BEEP~
'uhg time already?' I brace myself for the inevitable blinding assault of light that is about to peirce my already sleep deprived eyes hoping that its just another nightmare and that I could get in just another hour of sleep, but alas that is truly but a dream.
Dana one of the female night supervisors shouts out "Alright everyone it 6:00am you all know what that means, its time to wake up! You've all got an hour to get up and get out! Let's get a move on people!". A few groans of protests and a dash of cussing filled the old office building that was converted into a youth shelter over a decade ago for 18-25 year olds "giving at risk youths a chance" to keep on being huge gaping assholes.
While trying to adjust my eyes to the light I hear a particularly annoying voice from one of the other youths that everyone hates shout out. "Come on everyone get up you heard Dana we all have less than an hour to be out the door unless you want to be lottoed tonight." Another kid threw a pillow at the lil brown noser "Dude shut the fuck up you annoying gremlin and let us sleep! Who the fuck do you think you are? Piss off out of our business, if we get lottoed we get lottoed so get off your high horse with that pinched holier-than-thou face and leave us alone." some more yelling ensues before Dana shows up and tells them both off but mostly tells off the brown noser Eric who really likes trying to boss others around and acts like a know-it-all. I tried really hard to ignore the rest of the yelling match but what can I say, teenage boys will always be loud and obnoxious.
Having been thoroughly annoyed awake I get up from the mat like a vampire from a old cheesy classic to try and somewhat make my morning a bit better for myself. "Oh my God get the garlic Aaron its Dracula!!!" I look over at Collins and give him the death glare while Aaron comes over with a pipping hot cup of coffee for me "Here's your garlic Summer" I give a curt thanks while I rush to the bathroom as fast as I can in order to beat the rush of other mentally under developed individuals staying at this fine charity sucking establishment.
'God I hate this place everyone here except me, Collins, and Aaron have been trying to actively get out of this shithole for the past year'.
As soon as I enter the bathroom I take a quick glance at myself in the mirror and am almost fully shocked awake by my appearance. My long wavy brown hair is a messy rats nest while I have large dark circles underneath my geen eyes giving a stark contrast to my pale skin making me look sickly and the small amount of acne doesn't help with my appearance much. Heaving a long sigh I touch my face trying to hold back my frustrated tears. 'Don't you dare cry, if you show the smallest amount of weakness you'll get taken advantage of and walked all over'. I straighten out to my full height of 5'8 and see that I've lost some weight, I probably weigh about 120lb now. Taking off my clothes I check my figure in the mirror seeing a taller than average athletic girl with a boney hourglass figure, all together I look like a sickly gost that huants the hallways of this shit place at night. 'whelp I'm not pretty but I'm not ugly either i just need to eat more and I'll be fine.'
I get changed into a pair of straight cut jeans and a plain black v-neck, brush my teeth, wash my face and put my hair in a bun all in the span of 10-15 minutes then leave just in time to see eight other kids lined up for the bathrooms.
One of the new creepier guys at the shelter grabs my ass while I walk passed which caused me to "accidentally" spill the still super hot coffee all over the front of his thin basketball ball shorts. While he was shouting in pain I gave the most sardonic sorry I could muster then walked away sipping what was left in the mug while getting a thumbs up from one of the few other girls at the shelter, I think her name is Tisha. She was short probably 4'10 and voluptuous most would say she was thiccck with beautiful dark skin, giant brown doe eyes and fluffy shoulder length hair that was tied up, and I had to control the urge to play with her pretty lamb wool hair. She's rather quiet and keeps to herself other than that I don't really know much about her. I make a mental note of her to watch her personality to determine if I should endocrine her into our small group of misfits who look out for each other.
A lot of people at the shelter not including Collins and Aaron tend to avoid me because of my attitude, not a lot of people can stand it. I wonder why?
Making a quick B-line past the breakfast area towards my mat I pass by a small group of teens still trying to get a few more glorious moments of sleep before waking up to the cold reality surrounding them. Reaching my mat I quickly wrap up my bedding and put away the mat then grab the things I will need for the day from my designated locker. I shove my two uniforms, wallet, small makeup bag, book, phone and two packs of smokes into my backpack then head to the breakfast tables and plop down next Aaron and dramatically put my head on the table. Collin was smiling like a jackass across from me while Aaron murmurs.
"There there everything's okay, by the way great job dealing with D.J." "Hahahaha yeah that asshole had it coming, dude that shit was hilarious! I almost shot cereal from my nose!" Aaron slid a cup near my head and patted my shoulder "By the way here's another cup of coffee for you since you graciously donated it to that guys shorts" I looked up and smile at him then held the cup like a precious tresure and start sipping at it in satisfaction. "Thanks Aaron your such a sweety" "Yeah Aaron your suuuch a sweetyy come here and let me give you a kiss!" to that Aaron throws a small orange at Collins face starting a small food war between the two. "SUMMER HELP! Aarons being mean!" I just ignore the two and continue to sip my coffee and munch on a nearby muffin while enjoying the show.
Aaron and Collin are like brothers to me, they looked out for me after I came to the shelter on Christmas. Collins always joked saying I was the best Christmas present he's ever received to which Aaron always ends up smacking him upside the head then calls him an idiot. Collin is about an inch or two taller than me with short thick vibrant redish orange hair, green eyes and a boyish grin that has caused many girls to blush with a muscular build, all in all he's rather handsome but his personality makes him a complete and utter dork. Aaron on the other hand is 6'2 with a lean fighters frame, he essentially looks like Sasuke from Naruto and kinda acts like it too, but around Collin and me he acts more like a mother hen watching out for our well-being. Overall they are both great guys and I'm super lucky that they treat me like a precious little sister and watch out for me the way that they do instead of being another couple of creeps that I have to watch out for.
