My Blackpool Overload

My first end of the year trip at college

on a windy Wednesday Twelfth of June Two Thousand and Nineteen

it was the trip to Blackpool day

looking forward to be going to the

Blackpool Pleasure Beach to go on rides

So I got up, had some breakfast and get dressed

into my North Face tracksuit

tying my hair up into a low ponytail

putting my black coat on

to set off for the day

Walking from my house

with the routes are like a maze

where the lovely, vibrant flowers

that has brought into the light in me

but the sky looks dull and depressing

the roads were busy like a traffic jam

with all people were rushing

through the horrendous traffic lights

to get their destination

When I arrived at college,

there were lots of people in a small canteen

not knowing which classroom they will be in

but eventually, I have got in class on time

there were a lot of unfamiliar faces

that I have met before

But the classroom was more like a garden

with lots of plants on the window sill

and some gorgeous posters hanging on the display board

You know everything around me appears to be very noisy

but there was this one female person named Abigail

who has a light blonde hair with a bit ginger and has pale white skin

described as a very affectionate young woman who is easy to talk to

but can become increasingly bossy towards anyone in college

like when I used to be when I am at school

Keeping on winding this one male person up

But she was with the teaching assistant

whilst everybody sitting around the table

When the teacher did the register

with our names being called,

we had been put into groups

before going on a coach

the coach is a massive transportation

with lots of seats compared to the public bus

or either a minibus

with the fan on the top of every single seats

and the blue lights glowing brightly

but it was a long journey to Blackpool

I sat beside the security guard

who has a short red hair, brown skin and wears glasses

But when all of us have eventually reached at our destination,

every single of use were cheering happily and loudly

and we were getting out of our seats and waited outside our coaches

before walking to the miserable beach

thinking I might be hopeful that I will be going to the

Pleasure beach where it has a lots of rides and cosplays everywhere

But it turned into a total disaster!!

Because I do not ask to go the beaches, arcades or everything

so my emotions has exploded into an utter meltdown

where my happiness has been faded away

By my prolonged sadness

As I do want to go on rides so badly

But I walked up the hills into the traffic lights

with my arms linked to the teacher’s arm

but it has a lot of people waiting for the green man

to cross safely

so no rollercoasters, no rides, and no joy

just a system that is completely short-circuited

but I didn’t realise about the gratitude

about going to the trip

because I feel like I am truly ungrateful about this

as I have never been to the seaside of Blackpool before

Walking through the beach with the groups of people

with the water waving angrily towards all of us from the distance

Making the sand wet and hard to touch

but it has the people’s footprints appearing in the sand

As we headed inside the cafe to eat our lunch,

my inability to control my emotions for short periods

can be very difficult

as my brain responds to my mind by the tears

dripping down my face

but I eventually wiped the tears

because I couldn’t understand why I am in the pleasure beach seaside

rather than going to the pleasure beach rides

where some people will earn the fun

whilst I don’t earn this kind of happiness

because I was told by the teaching assistant

that I have to pay for the waist band to go

on rides which I do not know about

And told me “Just eat your lunch”

giving me no sense of empathy whatsoever

until another female person asked me about my wellbeing

who has a light blonde hair and has a pale white skin

saying to me, “Are you alright?”

And I formulated my response to her question,

“No, I am not, Nakita!!” in the response

with the use of the flooded tears in my eyes

But was sat in the table alone crying my eyes out

because I cannot process the full intention as to why

can’t go on any rides

When we finished our lunch,

we were heading into the arcades

and we had the game of arcades

but I have no money to spend

until the kind offer comes from the teacher

where she gave me the fiver to have a go on the arcades

which she don’t really have to do

because I never knew I have to

bring some money for the trip

the noise inside the arcades does not usually

bother me as much as the rest

But the atmosphere was so much smaller

compared to the one in college

So when we finished the arcade,

we were heading to the seaside

with the stairs down the beige coloured sand

that turns into a light brown when it is wet

with the salty water hitting through

the sound of the white noise

but the water appears to be ripple

that is undulating and surging gently

with great level of power and force

As I feel the breeze sensation of the strong wind through my face,

the aggressive wind blew my hair away into my face

but appear smiling whenever I feel upset inside me

Once we have finished walking into the beach,

we were going to look at the shops before heading back to our coach

whilst we were walking up the stairs,

there were already have loads of people in the coach

but Abigail held my hand tightly

feeling the tactile sensation inside her

to communicate with me with the sense of touch

before heading to the seat

but the security guard named Neelam

sat right next to me in coach all along

but when the teacher comes up and check to see if

we have any seatbelts on, we had it on over our shoulder

But there is this one male person named Thomas refuses

to put his seatbelt on due to the discomfort around his neck

and was reluctant to put it on until the aggression was directed

at this one teacher where he has the level of force to aggressively

hit her on the arm before the teacher said to him angrily,

“EXCUSE ME!!”

before heading for a drive

Whilst we all waiting for the hours

to get to college,

all of us were singing and dancing the songs

all the way to college

With Abigail taking pictures of people in the coach

on the teacher’s iPad

but I knew from the very second, the pictures

were blurry and degrading

When I looked at the picture from 2019 until now,

there were Neelam and I were smiling

in the backseat of the coach

But when we have got to college,

we were rushing to get off the coach

until the teacher reminded them about getting off

one by one

I thought I might be coming home straight away

when I see my mum outside my college

but I wasn’t allowed to

But I feel like everything is just too confusing and overwhelming

As I feel like I do want to go home after a long day

with the burden emotions exploding inside my mind

But I went to the classroom to get name checked

As I cannot wait any longer

So I became frustrated and irritable about little things

because I do not know what is going on

But the another teacher asked me questions

I took my frustration on her

which I do feel bad about

because she was trying to help me

But when I became upset,

Her response was being said to me,

“Kelsey-Jo, I was only trying to help you”.

But Abigail sees me upset and said to me,

“I don’t like you when you are upset” before making me cry even more

before grabbing my hand tight and kiss my hand

to make me feel better

but I thought I might get a hug from her

because she gives me the best hugs ever

However, I wasn’t expecting for her to display empathy

towards me which she don’t usually show it inside her

But a teacher with glasses took me out to see

my mum and explain to her about my situation

before walking out of college

as you know I was in a foulest mood ever

because this was by far the worst day trip

in my lifetime

but I walked up the biggest hill that is like the rollercoaster

all the way home

And I am glad that I am at home again

sitting my spinning chair

Had my tea and go straight upstairs to my room

To go chill and sleep my day off

before having a day off

a day after my trip
