“So it’s going to be one of those days?” I think to myself as I suck on the scratch I just received from the corner of my desk as I leaned down to pick up one of the shoes I’ve been dreading wearing since last week when I realized my holiday was over and had to rush to try buy all my books for the year, my final high school year. Was I sad to leave it all behind? All my friends, no, family, that I’ve come to know over the past five years? To know this was my last year to play school boy rugby, my last year waking up early just so I can get to school early so I can hang out with my bro’s? You bet your ass I was, my mind had been plagued constantly with these thoughts since yesterday morning when the full realization of this fact hit me as I was playing CoD: black ops 2 online against my friends, my brothers, Joe, Roman and Chris. Now don’t think I’m not looking forward to the future, quite the opposite, I’m ecstatic, I’m thrilled, the next three years of my life are completely planned out, I’m moving down to the east coast, Umhlangha specifically, I just got my car for my 18th a couple days ago, a Porsche Cayenne, and I’m going into a zoology course at the local university. I couldn’t ask for more. Anyway, back to the story, so I stop sucking on the scratch and see its bleeding, and quite heavily, “Way to go Michael, great start to the day” I grumble to myself as I run it under some water in my bathroom basin, it finally stops bleeding so I disinfect it and wrap it in a bandage so it doesn’t go septic knowing my luck. I go back into my room and see that it’s still too early to get going, so I sit down and connect my phone to my sound system (it’s basically a high-end surround sound system that I integrated a Bluetooth chip into so I can connect to it) and put my S4 on shuffle, I then proceed to fall asleep, typical.

I woke up in a flat panic not knowing what the time is, only to discover I’d only been asleep for ten minutes and that I could finally warrant leaving without my sister, Joe was having car trouble, so I needed to pick him and his little sister up, by little I mean a year younger than me, and two younger than Joe. I wrote a note and left it outside my sisters door explaining why I left, said bye to my mom, and left to pick up Joe. It was a rather short drive, but on the way there are a couple long straights with almost no traffic, and I think I clocked about 280kmph on the longest stretch. That Porsche is big, but fuck it can move. I get to Joe’s house and he and Hannah (little sister) are waiting outside the gate, he only noticed it’s me when I stopped right in front of him and said “hop in”, I swear, I’ve never seen him look so surprised, his face is PRICELESS, “dude! No ways! Your mom ACTUALLY bought it?
