Welcome to my life
The rain went, ‘tap tap tap’ on my windows as I layed under the covers tired. I couldn’t go to sleep at all. I mean that’s what happens when you have insomnia like moi. I mean it’s horrible ya know. When people say “oh I slept for only two hours” well good for you bro. Sometimes I wish I could go to sleep. I’ve been dozing off. I mean I can take my sleeping medicines but when I take them I feel even worse ahhhhhhh.
On my alarm clock the numbers 4:00 flashed. My alarm will go off at 5:30 but here I am. After turning from my bed one more time I kicked off the blankets and sword, “F*** it”. I got up from my bed and went to start my morning routine. My name is Emberly Azra Brooke and I’m 15 years old. I got this cringe first name from my Grandmother. (like i’m fine with Casey or something). My middle name is from my uncle and my last name from my father. I took my father’s last name. I have long black hair and Grey eyes mixed with blue and a little green. I am 5ft6 and probably still growing. Being tall is fun because my older sister who’s 16 is 5ft2. So I can annoy the living shit out of her. I play so many sports so I can get out of the house.
I play soccer,volleyball,track,dance,and cheer leading. I'm also part of honor classes which I’m proud of. Well school came easily to me. I’m taking higher level classes that are supposed to be for juniors. Soon I’ll be on a senior level. Anyway I have six brothers and one sister. My mom and dad are not dead and they’re together as well. My family situation is kind of weird though. My brothers names are, Alexander who’s 25 and is the oldest out of all my siblings along will Adrian who’s Alexander’s twin. Both of them run a company. Next is Caleb who is 23 years old. Caleb is a mechanic and he owns a couple shops. Next is Rylan who is 21. He’s in his last year of College which is Harvard. Rylan is getting a business degree. So when he comes back he will be working alongside my oldest brothers. My last two brothers are 17 years old and they’re in high school. Their names are James and Pierce. Both of them are twins and are in their junior year of high school. My sister is Isabella-Grace Holden and she’s a sophomore in high school while I’m a freshman.
So yeah that’s my whole goddamn family. When I mean my family situation sucks it means that everyone usually ignores me since they’re busy with their own stuff. My dad and Pierce are the only ones whom I’m close to. Sometimes, even they are busy but I have my best friends on the whole planet to help me through this shit. And I wouldn’t trade them for the world.
I got out of the bathroom still feeling like crap and went downstairs. The big clock had read 5:30 and my phone buzzed. I never have an alarm on because I never need it so I always put it on vibrate. I signed and wondered, “what to eat”. I have an nonexistent appetite in the morning but I had to take meds for my ADHD. If i don’t i’ll be distracted all the time. Besides, my stomach hurts if I eat food with my meds. After I took my medicine I got ready for school. It was still raining outside so I put on my sweatpants a random ass sweatshirt and a jacket with my umbrella. Time for hell!.
I usually walk to school even though it’s a 45 minute walk. I like how quiet the neighborhood is. I got to school at 6:45 and went to the gym. We usually had cheer leading at 7:00 but I was 15 minutes early. Because of my experience in dance it was easy for me too get into cheer leading. I changed into my cheer leading clothes and sat in the gym. Our gym is HUGE so what happens is that the cheerleaders and Football players practice in the same gym. By practice everyone just socializes since the coaches don’t get in till 7:30 AM. Some bullshit like they expect us to get here on time and there’s them. My brothers do football as well. Pierce is the Quarterback and James is the Linebacker. They don’t notice me in cheer because I manage to blend well.
I saw the head cheerleader Anna-Marie Thomson coming right towards me. No she is not mean to me at all. She’s actually a really good friend of mine and is James’s girlfriend.
“Hey Emmy” she spoke cheerfully
“I looked up from my phone and mumbled, “Hi Ann”
“Why are you looking like death right now”? Anna questioned
“I got no sleep”. I responded
“I feel bad for you but the coach is going to be absent so you get to rest” Anna spoke excitedly
“Woohoo now we get to see the Football players practice” I spoke sarcastically
Anna was about to say something but someone called her over.
“We are not done with this conversation” she called back
“Ok and I’m ditching” I responded in the same tone
Before Anna could say anything more I was already up from my seat and walking to the door. Man Cheer leading is so much effort. I left the gym and saw it was only 7:30 AM. I saw my brothers James and Pierce walking towards my direction.
“AHHHHH leave me alone” I thought
So I slipped away. I just spent the rest of the morning doing nothing. I finished my homework yesterday. I was sitting in my first period class which was Pre-Calculus. This class is usually for Juniors but since I’m ahead I get to sit here. Also my birthday is coming up. It’s on the 3rd of November. It’s only November 1st and I want to leave. Well I actually can graduate soon because I took all these credits and soon they might move me up to senior year next year. That sounds amazing? Anyway
The bell rang and everyone was filing in. So a 15 year in a class meant for juniors. That’s wonderful. My brothers are in this class as well but the only reason they don’t know i’m here is because I usually tell my teachers to call me Emma and my last name.There are two other students with the last name brooke so it really doesn’t matter. Besides, my teacher takes role calls when we enter the classroom. The class seemed to drag on and on until FINALLY I can leave. I’m usually the last one out because of how lazy and tired I am.
Mr.Bates looked up from his laptop and asked,”Emma are you alright you seem a bit tired”. As I was shoving my binder inside my bookbag
I responded, “Yeah I’m alright just tired”.
Mr.Bates nodded in response. After leaving the classroom I went to my next class Chemistry. We were probably going to be doing some lab experiment which I don’t care about. Actually here’s the thing the Chemistry I take is advanced but the teacher doesn’t really care about what we do. She just assigns a bunch of homework assignments and some random labs then goes on her phone. She doesn’t even teach us anything so that probably means like 10 students are passing out of 30. Sad
This sucks a lot because everything is so complicated I have to teach it to myself. Khan Academy is my best friend right now. Just because I’m smart does not mean I don’t study till my eyes bleed.I already have all the credits for my Chemistry class so me going or not going doesn’t really matter.I’m 15 and I’m a pretty and a genius. I like having a positive image about myself. If I don’t then everything goes to the depths of hell. Nah I’m joking I just like being positive sometimes. Anyway I’m ditching because I can. It was really easy I just walked outta the school not really caring. I know where to go. There’s this cafe where a lot of people go to afterschool. However, it’s usually empty during the day. I walked inside the cafe and ordered a drink I’m probably going to drink. I sat in the corner booths reading something on my phone. Life’s awesome.
School usually lets out at 2:45 PM and it was 2:30 right now. I had Volleyball after this so I walked back to school. Me ditching Volleyball would get me in sooooo much trouble. My Volleyball coach is really strict. When I got there I was on time so we started practice. I had Volleyball on Mondays Wednesday and Thursdays 3 to 5 . I had Cheerleading in the morning. I then had dance classes from 5:30 to 8. My dance classes were 30 minutes away from school so I usually leave Volleyball practice a little bit earlier. I usually had dance classes everyday. By the time I would get home it would be 9:00 with traffic and all that. I would then have to do my never ending amount of homework and by the time i’m done with that its like 2 in the morning. Six hours of homework fun. Then I would have chores because everyone has to play their part in the family.
That’s total BS because I would have to clean the kitchen but then my mom would say oh clean the house because my siblings are “busy”. Yeah busy going to parties and drinking and blah blah blah. I did all those extra chores anyway. By the time I’m done it’s 4 in the morning. My meds would’ve worn out a looooong time ago but I procrastinate eating. Don’t know why. I would then eat a lot of junk food then try to go to sleep. Never works so I’m on my phone with an aching body. Then I do the whole process again.
So yeah welcome to my life
