Chapter 3;first day of stress😥nd not school👩🏫
"My first day at school was stressful 😩. Nobody wanted to help me with seating arrangements except the lecturer, who paired me with a quiet girl who looked a bit odd 😂. I thought, 'Great, I'm stuck with a weirdo on my first day 🤦♀️. People might think I'm one too 😂.'
Meanwhile, my crush was sitting there, staring at his book, ignoring me completely 📖. I tried to borrow a book from him, but he looked at me like I was trash 🚮 and went back to reading 🙄. Everyone in class seemed scared of him 😳, and I couldn't understand why 🤔. He seemed tough 💪, but every girl in school seemed to have a crush on him 💕. I'd see girls walking by his desk, giving him flirty glances 😉. It was like he was a magnet, and they were helpless 😂. I felt confused - was love evil or just blind👨🦯 As I sat beside my awkward desk mate, I couldn't help but steal glances at my crush. He was still engrossed in his book, oblivious to the admiring gazes around him. I felt a pang of frustration - why did he have to be so aloof? 🤔
The lecturer continued to drone on, discussing the syllabus and expectations for the semester. I zoned out, my mind wandering to all the possible reasons why he might be ignoring me. Was I not interesting enough? Not pretty enough? 😔
Suddenly, the bell rang, signaling the end of the class. My crush stood up, towering over everyone else in the room. He gathered his things and walked out without a word, leaving a trail of admiring glances in his wake. 💁♀️
I turned to my desk mate, who was quietly packing her things. "Hey, I'm Emily," I said, trying to break the ice. She looked up, slightly startled, and smiled weakly. Am Sarah .
"As we walked to the bus stop, I asked Sarah if she was taking the same bus as me 😊. She agreed, and we chatted while waiting. But, being the clumsy me 🤦♀️, I dropped my books 📚. As I bent to pick them up, I bumped into my crush 🤯. Our eyes met, and I felt like the world had come to a standstill 🌟. I couldn't understand why I felt this strong connection with someone I'd just met 🤔. Was it love at first sight? 💘
But reality snapped me back to attention ⚠️. I remembered I forgot to watch my dad's favorite show 📺, and I knew I'd face his wrath 😠. He'd be drunk by now, and I'd be in for a lecture about neglecting his needs 😔. I snapped out of my daydream and apologized to my crush, who gave me that same disinterested look 🙄. Thankfully, Sarah came to my rescue, holding my hand and pulling me toward the bus. Finally i arrived at the bus stop waved Sarah good buy and continued my journey 🏡 home on reaching my front door 🚪 i took a deep breath then opened 😀 the door 🚪 i looked at the living room nd i spotted my 👨 dad.
"As I walked in, I saw my dad sitting in his favorite chair, overly drunk 😴. But this time, he wasn't laughing or talking; he was eerily quiet 😕. I approached him cautiously and said, 'Hi, Dad, I'm back from school.' He turned to me with a scowl and slurred, 'Am I blind? Don't I know you left for school and came back? Or do you think I'm drunk? 🤷♂️'
I knew better than to respond, so I kept quiet 🙅♀️. I tried to slip away to my room, hoping he'd let the matter of the show drop. But he called out, 'What happened in the show?' I hesitated before saying, 'I'm sorry, I forgot.' His expression turned uglier 😤.
'You know I'm always busy,' he slurred. 'I'm never around, and I ask you to watch this one show 📺. But you're too stupid to remember 🤦♀️. You're just like your mother – stubborn and selfish 🤕. If she hadn't had that severe headache, she wouldn't have gotten into an asthma attack, and she wouldn't have died 🤷♂️. Now you're following in her footsteps – stubborn and unhelpful 🚫.'
I felt a lump form in my throat as he continued to berate me 😔. I knew I had to listen and apologize, even if it wasn't entirely my fault 🙏.
I wanted to say, "Why are you always so hard on me, Dad? Can't you just understand me for once?" 🤷♀️ But I knew better than to speak up. Instead, I nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Dad. It won't happen again 🙏."so i went to my room flong my self 🙃 on the bed nd breathed out today has really been a heck of a day😔
