"Ah, crap!"I look at the expired milk carton in disgust, then at the floating white lumps that are now in my tea.Great, now there's no milk for my tea or cereal.Shit.Cereal is the thing I eat most. I mean, it's perfect. It takes two minutes to make, and it's delicious. How can you not love cereal?I take the milk carton over to the small trash can sitting in the corner of our small kitchen, ignoring the sour smell, I drop it in. I should pour it out in the sink or something, because it'll probably start to smell in here.Are you supposed to do that?Oh well, I guess I'll just ask my mom when she gets home. I really have no idea how I'm supposed to cope with living on my own. I am the most unsure and indecisive person ever. I'm sure of that.Hey, look! I'm sure of something!I snap out of my thoughts and go back over to my mug of rotten tea. I take the mug and pour the contents down the sink, then place the mug in the dishwasher.I then stride back into the living room and grab my

It was the end of the next day and I was stood at my locker, getting books out so I could do some studying at home tonight. I don't have any tests or anything coming up; I just like to be ahead of things.Maybe I am a nerd."Hey, Satan."Ugh.I close my locker and turn around to face him."What do you want," I say."Oh, Satan. Seems like you're getting moodier and moodier. Did you get enough sleep last night? Is your flow getting heavier?"I narrow my eyes at him. "If all you wanted to do was bug me then I'm leaving." I take a step away from him but before I can get any further, he grabs my arm and spins me back around to face him."Actually, what I wanted was to ask if I could copy your chemistry notes? I ditched class last time but I don't wanna fall behind so I need notes.""Since when do you care about keeping up with work?"This doesn't sound like him."Since now. Can I have them?""No." I try to walk away again but he just holds my arm and this time doesn't let go."Why not? I w

"You will be working with the person in front of you. I've left the equipment on your desk, so join with your partner and start." Mr. Kennedy, my chemistry teacher announces.We were doing the foldable egg experiment and I was excited. I love chemistry, because of the experiments. I love to try things and find out how they work out for myself, not just watch or be told. I find it amazing how we can create things from science.Maybe I am a nerd.Zeke, will you stay out of my head please?"I guess I'm working with you," I look up and find Mason Conway sitting in front of me.I smile, butterflies arising in my stomach.He brings a chair to my table and we start the experiment, putting holes on each end of the egg."Would you like to do the honours?" He asks, holding the straw out for me."Sure," I smile happily and take the straw, then blow through it, making the egg yolk come out into a beaker."So, has Zeke Blakely done anything else to you?"I put the straw on the table and put the eg

Zeke slams the helpless boy against the lockers."How dare you do that. Who the fuck do you think you are? The President?""I-I'm sorry," the boy cries, eyes widened in fear."Zeke! What the hell are you doing?" I pull him from the guy he was crushing against the lockers."This guy fucking bumped into me and didn't say fucking sorry. Can you believe that?"Is he being fricking serious right now.I turn to the scared boy and help him pick up his books that fell, "Are you okay?"He nods and gives me his best smile. My heart breaks.Poor kid.I straighten up the crushed collar of his shirt and fix his dorky sweater. "All better. Sorry about him," I nod towards Zeke who's currently death staring me."Thanks," the boy lets out before walking away.I turn to Zeke. "You're insane!""Why were you helping that fucking square?""Because you were picking on him for no reason!" I shout."It wasn't for no reason! He walked into me!" He shouts back.People in the corridor stare. Ugh mind your own b

"Hey, Mom, I'm going out," I tell my mother who is sitting in the living room watching TV with her boyfriend, Charlie.Her and Charlie have been together for almost a year now, and I really like him. I'm not the kind of girl who cuts him out and tells my Mom not to date him just because he's not my Dad. He makes her happy and that's all I had been wishing for my Mom for years."Where are you going?""To a movie with Mason."She gasps, pausing the TV, "Mason? Really? That's amazing, Marnie! Why did you not tell me this before?"Yeah, my Moms kinda a fangirl of my life.I shrug, "I've been busy."Busy thinking about Zeke Blakely.God, why can't he just stop doing whatever he's doing that's making me go insane."Well have fun, honey, and don't be home too late.""I won't," I begin walking away and shout bye to Charlie and my Mom and they shout it back, then I go outside to where Mason's waiting for me in his Mercedes.Like the many kids at my school, his parents are rich as frick."Hey,"
