Chapter 2

After an excruciatingly slow day at school I finally get home and just lay on my bed.After heating dinner that my mom made for me on the weekend,I started watching Noughts and Crosses.After forcing myself up I decide to take a shower and start doing my assignments.

I FaceTime Artemis and tell her about my encounter with SAL and she tells me how wrong I am for telling him off like that and I that I shouldn't let what my father did make me anti-love.If anything I'm happy with my position as mayoress of Singlesville.I know she says it is from a place of love but I wish she'd drop it.Artemis was very supportive when I went through that dark period and what I loved was it was out of care and not just pity.We've been friends since high school,we actually didn't get along at first then we were paired in dance class then here we are six years later and going strong.She goes to a different University all the way in Cape Town which is sad but we have leant to live with it and make sure to spend the holidays together.

After succeeding in averting the speech of love,we catch up on life and then I finally hang up.I do what I can of my assignments and go to bed.

"I woke up like this

I woke up like this

FLAWLESS ...."

I'm dancing around in my apartment,I'm tryna get in the mood to go to school as I am so tired,who knew trying to finish a whole season in one night would result in you waking up feeling like you have a brain tumor because your head feels like Mega Mind's head.I always put Beyoncé on when I feel down or like today tired it always makes me feel energized but today I'm not really succeeding ,I don't drink coffee so that's the next best thing.I have to be on campus early today so I was up by half six in the morning sad my life is really.

After driving to Campus I text Alex to check if she is here yet and lucky me she is just leaving her house argh it's not my day.I walk to class purposely dragging my feet in hopes that Alex would appear by my side since I'm late everyone is seated and it was going to be a long walk from the door to my seat.

After I gather enough courage ,I walk into math feigning nonchalance as people continued to stare like I grew another head,well it feels like it,my head hurts from lack of sleep.Walking into a room while everyone else is seated never seizes to unnerve me.

Six eternities later Miss EverPunctual strides in like she owns the place not even a glare from Miss CloudySkies faltering her step.

'Would it kill you to ever get to a place on time' I whisper shout through gritted teeth.

'Hey to you too,Almighty Patient One...besides great things take time.'She says flicking her hair.

'Ohhh really when are these great things getting here',I scoff and turn only to get a glare from Sunshine in front,she has her glasses or goggles,I don't know,halfway down her nose bridge and for a woman with a nose like hers I don't recommend that look for her.
