"Willow, get up! Get up!"
Repeat this process and you have the slow process of me prying my eyes open and sliding myself out of my bed. It seemed too warm to leave, I didn't want to leave it, I wanted to roll back over, face the wall and let myself slip back into the dreamless sleep I was having. I haven't had dreams for a while now and I don't really mind, every now and then I would have a dream and it'd pleasantly surprise me. I was normally in a better working mood when that happens anyway.
But this morning was the time that I would have to stretch and get out of bed, grumpy with the blank night I had. Mum wasn't going to let me turn over and go back to sleep anyway.
So skip by the morning routine and get to school. No, not first session, when I first arrive at school. Normally I don't put this bit in because I'm normally talking to Samara, different things but I always talk to Samara and her friends, Jayden, Shannon and Anna. Even though we are a mix-match of people, we all love each other and even though they're younger than I am, I don't treat them any less than I would with my older friends, nor did they treat me any different. We loved each other.
But today I couldn't talk with them, I had Science work to do, my teacher, Mr Redclift told me to bring in my Science write up.
REWIND
Okay, hey peeps.
So the thing with this Science write up was we had to copy 99% of it, make up our own aims, hypothesis and results after the experiment. I didn't have the stuff to copy and I was tempted to write my own method but the teacher would notice and I would be marked down. (What a way to have creativity, right?) I mean, I
m in a really dumb class and I really am not dumb, I aced Science and I keep begging my teacher to move me up because I'm really not learning anything in there anyway, we're just going over things I already know. But back to the point, I could write out my own method, it'd be just as good as the teacher's copy. He knows it too. Most of the time I'm just sitting in my seat, fiddling with my legs, crossing them, uncrossing them then crossing them again, or trying to find how my legs would sit comfortably with me not being so self conscious about my thighs. My thighs are really the main factor on how I sit. Wow this has been a long rewind. We should get-
BACK TO THE STORY.
So I finished it, I had to run to the front office to get printer credit because I had wasted all mine on other assignments, I like to print my assignments off since my mind races and doesn't focus on getting the writing neat, as long as it's down I can type it up and get marks for presentation. So I finished my Science report with about five minutes to spare so I printed it off, stuffed the paper into my maths book. (Which wasn't really a maths book, it was more a scrap of cardboard covering pieces of paper that I scribbled different types of notes into)
Then I went to English, I was about five minutes late but I didn't really care, English was pretty cool with coming in late, you could usually get away with about ten minute lateness if you come in with work printed off or with a good excuse. (Remember when I said we're awesome at making up excuses? Yep, this is where is comes in to play.)
But the teacher wasn't here. Awesome, the more and more the teacher wasn't here, the more and more time I would have on the assignment that we were meant to hand in last Thursday, (In my defense, she wasn't there on Thursday and I refuse to hand my work in to relief teachers because it always seems to get 'lost'.) I pushed through the crowd of our class room to get the flow started, I sat at my desk and glued the picture of me onto the Japanese exchange student form I had had to fill out for Saki, Maryanne, Haylee and Lilith soon piled in after, then the rest of the class joined. The session was mostly just talking, the whole class threatened to throw Kirsten and Kareena out of the window if they went and got the teacher so they sat there, looking horrified by us all. So it wasn't really mature, but hey we got out of a whole session of work so I don't think any of us really cared.
Then we went to Maths, I was late to Maths because I side-tracked to the bathroom, I'll save you the details. I walked in to see the teacher sitting at his desk with his iPad.
The teacher wanted me to focus on my maths work or at least the gibber that he was talking about on the board. The girl next to me, Hope (me and Hope never really liked each other, we really just kind of... put up with each other) was blabbing to the guy next to her. God knows what about.
But I looked at my open homework diary that kept my life at ease, made sure I could get out of class and made sure I knew the date and what time classes ended. The diary holds a date that I had been counting down for easily two months now. It didn't matter that my 16th, said to be one of the biggest birthdays a girl could have, was only a month away. Eva. She's coming on the 4th of July, Americans would be excited for the 4th of July, (Independence day, all that jazz), my friend, Katie's birthday was on the 4th too. I didn't care, my maths teacher was going to catch me. My mind isn't on maths, it's on Friday, the Germans and my friend's birthday.

The teacher has a habit of walking out of the room when someone comes to see him. He went out and I got distracted from the piece of writing I was writing for a split second and he's back in the room. My maths teacher is scary when he's angry. He comes down the aisle and yells, he had this weird angry face that makes my blood run cold. He's a short, chubby smile-on-his-face little man and he has bushy eyebrows. I find him the equivalent of a scary, big bear the Americans talk about or class as 'Grizzlies'. He's a little naive but when he catches up, he's scary and he looks like he would skin you alive, but hey, that's math teachers for you, right?
He demands the utter most respect, when the bell goes we mustn't budge a muscle, we can't pick up our bags or pack away, he demands us to be deadly silent or we stay in. He keeps us in until he's happy with what we gave him, then he lectures us THEN he finally lets us go, first, the first two rows, then the next two rows, until he gets to our rows and lectures us a little more before finally dismissing us. This whole process lasts about five to six minutes. Mr Crooks can be fun sometimes... Sometimes on Fridays, he shows us little maths videos that make us groan, but it's better than working from those stupid maths books he has. There's this guy Jed, that always stalls him, he's my hero. Reminds me a bit of America to be honest.

We went to S+E and Mrs Baron, the head of department came in to talk to us about subject selections, we've got to choose our subjects and I'm unsure about them, but she had been a big help when I talked to her at the appointment to help my mind become a little more at ease with the subject selections. She chatted for almost the whole lesson, I didn't mind. I took down a lot of notes that would surely come in help.
She explained ATAR pathways then the TAFE pathways and I'm looking at going through an ATAR pathway, but the way I'm going I'm probably going to have to work my ass off to get my ass up to ATAR level, I can do it, I'm just missing marks. I know I want to do human bio and German, then I also want to do drama but that's a general pathway. (We'll get into the drama... drama later.)
Then we had to read through a little bit before change of sessions. We headed to Science, which I was late to because I made a side-path to the bathrooms. The ones nearest to my Science room were locked. (Nightmare!) So when Mr Redclift asked me where I had been, I said I had been chatting to my S+E teacher and didn't hear the bell. Since I'm his kawaii-est student he's normally pretty easy going with me. I do my work, I understand it, I ask questions where they pop up, I answer questions when the class can't. I hate to say it but okay, I suppose I'm his smartest student, well a fight between top two between me and Liam. Lets not get into the me and Liam battle for first place. There's this guy, Alex that tries to act like he knows it but while me and Liam aced Science, he got a D. I feel bad for the kid, he really does try... the smart act that he puts up... well it's just an act.

I stood with Samara and friend for lunch before we stepped into the drama where this girl was singing. Oh god, her voice was beautiful, she was singing Count on Me by Bruno Mars which is one of my utter most favourite songs. It reminds me of Helena and Emma, it makes me slightly sad when I listen to it but it fills my head with dizzy spells, makes my heart flutter and brings a smile to my face. Her voice was beautiful, it was like someone was painting a masterpiece and it was flowing out of her mouth, that was the only way I could explain it, she was playing along on the guitar too and she had a dude friend next to her too, strumming on HIS guitar. After she had finished, we all clapped politely and went off into our classes, my heart was a little heavy but I pushed that down, standing against the wall.
Lets go into this in a bit more detail. I'm known as the 'tom-boy loner' in my drama class, I'm slowly shaking the loner title by hanging out with Liam's group, which is good because I can squeeze in easily to the 'good-drama kids' I don't know if I blogged about the drama groups properly but I know for a fact that I wrote my thoughts about it down somewhere. But, my normal position in the class room involved, one shoulder against the black wall, my feet crossed and my arms crossed across my chest or my hands in my pockets, which looks something like this.
Let me explain this position to you. In Primary school, I didn't stand up for myself, I got teased and bullied a lot, I got called names, my name was made fun of and I was crying most of the time. Whenever I put myself in this position, nobody seemed to bug me, they seemed to leave me alone, especially if I put on an icy cold glare. Old habits die hard I suppose.
Our drama teacher used his 'I'm talking about something serious so shut the fuck up!' (his words) voice and told us that drama was a general course, which I understood (I want to do an ATAR pathway, keep that in mind.) We already knew that, but what we didn't know was due to new requirements we need to do a VET Cert. II to fall back on if we flunk ATAR, so as long as we're going through a general pathway, we could do drama, we couldn't if we were doing an ATAR pathway, which was most of the class so chances are if he can't get the qualifications to bump drama up to a VET Cert. II subjects, he's losing 99% of his students. Most of us want to become actors anyway, so that wouldn't turn out good for us if we moved. This took a twist in my plans.
Fucking great. But we did a little thing where we had words and people had to decide what the definition was out of the choices that we gave. It wasn't much fun but we did the best we could. I was paired up with Phoebe, Raychel, Shanae, Kirsten and myself. Sigh, the session passed slowly and I sat outside on the corner, waiting for my mum to pick me up. Kobe, a fellow hockey player was sitting there too, along with a year 8, so we played flappy bird, we laughed when the other got frustrated until mum got me and we drove to the school farm where we dropped off my brother for some leadership camp that made me roll my eyes. My brothers always seem to out do me with everything they do, that's why I simply refuse to let them take drama or German. If I was a cat, this is the point where I would pin my ears to the back of my head and snarl at them to leave it be.
So, that's my day, sorry it was long but I felt like writing, two hours straight of writing and I think I'm not done yet, I'll probably try and write something more, I get into these writing moods and I just love the sound of the keyboard clicking and clashing under my finger tips, it's sort of like music and I find it rhythmic. I really like it, if anyone can explain why I love it so, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Willow, signing out.
